Cottage @ Waterhouses

Clean room; nice location; wrong information sent in check in email on lock for entrance and WiFi network; apartment information booklet was missing from the room; host was responsive to calls/voicemail; need sun shields for the window and skylights upstairs for guest to sleep well.

Convenient and fun location on Lake Dunmore. Cottage as advertised. Easy drive to Middlebury.

Quiet neighborhood with a perfect view of the lake and mountain! Overall a beautiful property

Small, basic lodging, but clean and comfortable. Beautiful view of the lake out back.

We were overall very pleased. The only comment is that is was unclear that the main bed was only accessible by a ladder to a loft. We had to sleep on the murphy bed in the living room as my husband is unable to climb a ladder.

Nice place, comfortable, good location for Midd visits/graduation. Great communication, they quickly accommodated a change in our plans (increased stay by one night). Well stocked with all usual household appliances (but no dishwasher). Comfortable beds incl the Murphy bed. Good shower. Few things to know, there are skylights without shades/covers in the loft and over the Murphy bed so it gets bright inside very early at graduation time. No shades/blinds over the window in the loft either, the bed is placed right at the window. No condiments or kitchen cooking/seasoning basics (oil, salt, pepper etc). One suggestion: replace the white light bulb outside the front door with a yellow light so bugs are not attracted. We initially arrived at night and a few hundred bugs were waiting for us at the front door, impossible not to have a few dozen get inside when we opened the door. Closest place to get a cup of coffee is a mile away (Kampersville store) so not a quick walk, but that store does have good pastries.

Very nice property and right on the lake!

Beautiful

My Mom and I stayed at the Waterhouse cottage to visit my son at Middlebury College. We loved the place, location, and morning coffee outdoors looking at the beautiful lake. We did not use the loft because it was too difficult to access for us older people. But that did not take anything away from our great experience.

We rented the cottage for a visit with our Middlebury student. The Waterhouses campground and cottages are a short drive to Middlebury and staying at Lake Dunmore is beautiful in the late Summer/early fall season. The cottage has a loft bedroom, but we opted to sleep on the Murphy bed because the loft is up a ten foot ladder-it is nothing like stairs - it is definitely a ladder. The kitchen was clean and had plenty of storage and a nice bar to sit at. Linens were very basic, but provided. Although the cottage sits right on the road across from the campground, it was generally very quiet, although the crew team keeps gear in an outside bin attached to the building for their early practice. It was lovely to see them on the water in the am and the night sky was stunning.Walked down to the convenience store at another nearby campground for breakfast muffins and creamees. The Waterhouses store had basics like milk and beer. Staff was friendly and easy to find at the boat rental desk. We did not eat at the restaurant but it looked very nice.Definitely a nice option to staying in town, especially in nice weather.
