The space Perfect for skiers and ICON and Epic ski pass holders due to our central location of 3 ski areas! The Green Mountain National Forest hosts beautiful hiking trails minutes away. Paddle, swim, fish, relax or do other awesome activities on the lake or right here at the house and dock. Our south cove gets less traffic than the main lake so water tends to be calmer with less traffic for swimming and snorkeling. The dock can be jumped off of at the long end or there is a ramp to walk down. It is not a sandy beach but is an excellent place to swim and is one of the cleanest lakes in the state. Excellent spot for skiing in the winter at Snowbowl, Pico, or Killington. This is a year-round studio apartment with heat. Owners live upstairs. Snow tires recommended in winter. Although technically this cozy quaint studio is the lower basement level of the house, there is plenty of light with glass french doors and full windows which open to a spacious screen porch overlooking the cove and with view of the mountainside above. The screen porch is one of the best additions to the property and has a wonderful sectional couch, table, and chairs. Our lake also hosts the VT. Sun Triathlon Series; suitable for any level of athlete. Well-equipped kitchen with microwave, small oven, refrigerator, plenty of cabinets, WiFi plug-in to charge phones, a decent flat-screen TV so you can login to your Netflix, Hulu, Prime Video, and other apps. Dock on the water down the stairs. Private entrance. Our summer climate and apt usually needs no AC but fans are available. YOU MUST LOVE DOGS AND CATS! Our place is very clean but on occasion when we are cleaning the apartment our cat will slip downstairs. Because of this if you allergic to pets and this could pose a problem for you, please rent elsewhere. YOU WILL HEAR footsteps and noises on the floor above you. We live upstairs. I also do woodworking in the adjacent shop so if you’re going to nap just let me know and understand that this is a possibility. Guest access Come on down to Hideaway Trail - our dirt road through the trees to our small neighborhood. Guests park, walk a short distance across our lawn where they are sometimes greeted by our animals, and access the apartment down several marble stairs, and through the private screen porch. The dock, porch, and cozy studio living space, complete with a full kitchen and bath await. Great neighborhood for walks and swimming and even ice fishing in the winter with skiing not far away. Our lake cove has a water speed limit of 5mph which makes for safer swimming and less boat traffic than other areas on the lake. Two kayaks, a canoe, a paddle board, and a clean lake await. Other things to note Ideal for couples or solo travelers seeking a peaceful, low-key Vermont getaway. Please park by the shed. Refasten any gates that you open. Pets are friendly. In winter snow tires are helpful during a big storm. It's clean, charming, and has more of cabin ambiance. Yet it is nicer than most Airbnb's and it's wonderful to have a full kitchen and bath. A fantastic place to have a blast or just relax. Perfect for families, solo travelers, and traveling nurses and other professionals.
