Cute efficiency 1-bath lakefront cottage with several interior upgrades (new, larger shower unit) on beautiful Lake Champlain in Bridport, VT. Bridport is located in the heart of the Lake Champlain Valley near Middlebury, (11miles) about half way between Burlington and Rutland. Cedar sits perched directly on the lake on a dead-end road with no through traffic so is very private. Enjoy the spacious deck, accessed by a wooden walkway with cleats and hand rail, that sits 16’ above the lake providing spectacular views of Champlain and the Adirondack mountains. This small and cozy cottage is perfect for a romantic getaway or a terrific base for road biking in season with routes directly from the cottage through the rolling hills, corn fields and farmland of one of the most beautiful areas in the Lake Champlain Valley, which many feel rivals the beauty of Tuscany. In the summer months enjoy farmer's markets in nearly every nearby town, (the kitchen has everything you need to create a gourmet meal). In the fall, join the leaf peepers for a spectacular display. In winter, Middlebury College runs both a nordic ski center and the Middlebury Snowbowl with downhill trails. Other major ski areas (Sugarbush, Mad River and Killington) are approximately an hour drive. The charming towns of Bristol (14 miles) and Middlebury (11 miles) both have excellent restaurant, bakery and pub options. In all seasons you might enjoy exploring the abundance of craft breweries in this area of Vermont as many of our guests seem to have done! This quiet location, some have discovered, is a writer's paradise.

Full kitchen, WiFi, bath with shower, flat screen TV, queen bed, and extra futon. Outside propane grill, screened-in porch attached to camp, and additional large deck down the wooden walkway, which overlooks the lake and includes plenty of outdoor seating. There is also a campfire ring by the camp for toasting s'mores (wood can be purchased locally by the bundle).

Boating, Bass and Perch Fishing is terrific. Bikes , row boat and tandem kayak in are available for your use! There is swimming out away from the beach (we get in off the rowboat). There can be weeds on the shoreline in summer so it is not great swimming for children. Best for 2 adults who want a quiet getaway with beautiful views, boating, fishing, biking and exploring.

Local activities include biking, hiking, fishing, boating, sailing, antiquing, golfing or visiting many historic places in VT , Adirondacks of New York and the great breweries nearby. Middlebury College has a terrific Museum of Art. For activities including music venues on Lake Champlain & near Middlebury, use learn more links at top of regional pages or look online.

Regarding pets: I love dogs and enjoy being able to offer pet friendly accommodations. In order for this policy to continue I ask that you adhere to several house rules. Your dog or dogs may not wander beyond the property without your watchful eyes present. You must clean up immediately after your dog. You are welcome to toss your pup's waste into the woods, but please be advised my neighbors do not wish to step in dog doo...ever! I assume your pet will be free of fleas! If your pup is a shedder, I request that you please sweep up and vacuum before you leave. I have provided additional bags for you to vacuum freely. Thank you for your cooperation so that everyone going forward can continue to bring their beloved pets on vacation with them.

    The Cabin was very clean and neat! The kitchen everything you can think of. The bedroom was small. Not too much space for hanging close and the dress was old with not to much room. The view was great and you lots of privacy. Cold use soe lights i the front yard. The heater worked great!

    The Cozy Cottage was small, but designed and appointed with artistic ingenuity. There is a spacious screened-in porch which adds utility in good weather. The cabin is at the upper edge of a wooded slope going down to Lake Champlain. A well-constructed walkway leads to a spacious pavilion at the lakeside. The views of the Adirondacks across the Lake are awesome. We found great swimming at Kingsland Bay State Park, about 35 minutes away. We thoroughly enjoyed our week-long stay here.

    This was an incredible get away for self care! The cabin is just that, small but well laid out and maintained. The view and lake access- superb! The yard has some fencing for privacy and is on a dead end extension road so if you are looking for peace and quiet- this is it! Steve was amazing, called me a few days before with all the check in details I needed. Being able to have my dogs was amazing with multiple places to tie them out and a beautiful meadow to walk them through. The place does not show any wear and tear from dogs visiting and all renters should keep up after their pets so it remains that way. Driving down the hilly road to get there was beyond scenic and gorgeous and reminded me how lucky we are to live in New England. I would 100% recommend. 10/10 experience and grateful for the memories!

    We had a very relaxing few days here and were glad to be able to have our dog with us. The cottage was compact, rustic and cozy. Beautiful view of Lake Champlain. It's a relaxing getaway. The cottage had a well equipped kitchen. Pratt's was a convenient for supplies and Middlebury was just a short drive for restaurants. Another bonus was we were able to plug our car into a level 2 charger right at the cottage.

    My husband and I really love this property not because of its location, which is absolutely beautiful-but because it is the complete package. The updates made were very very nice. Loved having coffee outside the deck. We were able to relax, play games and enjoy ourselves in a beautiful setting! The communication with the owner was great! He made sure all our needs were taken care of. We will be back !

    It was wonderful to be on the lake. Didn’t think to bring measuring cups and spoons. For such a well-equipped kitchen I was surprised that there weren’t any. I would stay here in the future and send friends and family there.

    Place is simple and clean, could benefit from a comfy couch in the living area opposite the TV for more comfortable lounging. We really enjoyed the location--right on beautiful Lake Champlain. Host was very accommodating. We recommend this cozy little cottage.

    This cottage is small, but well designed to make use of the space. It had everything we needed. We could see a bit of the lake from the living room and deck, but the best view was from the large lakeside deck. There was also access directly to the shore. A rowboat and tandem canoe were available. We enjoyed our stay!
