    Nice cottage directly on the lake, exactly as depicted in the listing. The lake was gorgeous. Lots to do in the area, hiking, biking, orchards and farmstands and lake activities.

    We had a great time at this cottage! It was a perfect retreat for my wife and I. While it is on the smaller side, we had everything we needed! The view of the lake is AMAZING both from inside the house or on the dock. Lots of amenities like kayaks which are easily accessible. The communication with the host was perfect - she was quick to respond to any questions that I had. Highly recommend this home for anyone who is considering it!

    The location, accommodations, & check-in were wonderful. We loved sitting on the dock in the morning with a cup of coffee, listening to the loons bringing in the day, and in the evenings with a glass of wine watching the sun set over the tranquil water. Everything we were looking for in a weeklong stay !

    Extremely relaxing and private. The owners were wonderful and very responsive. Perfect layout inside and out while being cozy and comfortable for 2. Great dock for relaxing on or docking your boat with almost 4’ depth at the end of the dock with a gradual dropoff. Great for swimming, tubing and fishing. We caught 4 species of fish with luck every day. We highly recommended and would definitely consider visiting again.

    We loved this cabin on the lake. It was perfect for a relaxed, low key vacation. Can’t wait to return.

    My husband had a wonderful time on Lake St. Catherine. The cottage has everything you need. Even if you're sitting inside you can hear the crash of the waves. It was breathtaking.

    We are so grateful that Linda shares this property with the world! Such an epic little cottage on Lake St. Catherine with classic Vermont views, access to more southern VT cute town vibes than you can shake a stick at, and sturdy little dock to boot! Cant wait to come back.

    Perfect place for two. The home was lovely and the views and location were spectacular. Host was very accommodating and easy to work with. We will be back to the lake and can think of no better place to stay!

    This peaceful cottage at the water’s edge exceeded our expectations! Access to the lake is only steps away and we fully enjoyed all the outdoor spaces. The dock was perfect for morning coffee and lounging in between swimming and kayaking. The patio was handy for meals and organizing biking excursions. We prepared snacks and meals in the well stocked kitchen and appreciated the lake views from the open dining/living room areas. Being in a serene atmosphere surrounded by nature was just what we needed to relax and rejuvenate. We highly recommend this place and plan on returning!

    I stayed at the cottage for a week in August, as a base for visiting family and friends, hiking, and relaxing by the lake. The cottage was exactly as described--pretty, well-designed, and comfortable--at a beautiful and quiet location right on the lake. Linda was quite responsive. The place is small, as described (one bedroom), but perfect for my needs

    My husband & I had a perfect week just chilling out in Lake St. Catherine & watching the Olympics. This home is small but very beautiful & well-appointed. My husband fished from the dock catching (& releasing) a northern pike & bass. We waded into the lake daily from the stony shore & spent hours just bobbing in the water-it was wonderful! We cooked all of our meals there finding everything we needed in the kitchen. The multipurpose oven was new for us but performed nicely. We originally hesitated to come due to the spiral stair & only 1 bathroom. We are in our late 60's but found the narrow stairway surprisingly secure to navigate. One suggestion for anyone who may be a light-sensitive sleeper is to bring a sleep mask. The many windows & skylight keep this home light & bright. We had a couple hot days but the fans kept us comfortable. We tried the kayaks but they were too small for my 6' husband to use, so we we mostly enjoyed the swimming. On our 1 rainy day we enjoyed the TV, a puzzle, & reading. It was really a wonderful relaxing week! The host is very communicative & attentive. The instructions for the house are well-developed, comprehensive, & clear. The neighborhood is quiet, the lake is gorgeous, & we wish we were still there!

    Once again (4th time renters), my husband and I had a relaxing stay at this cottage. It’s perfect for a couples getaway. The cottage is exactly as described but better. Lots of natural light because of all the windows and although no air conditioning, we never felt like it was too warm, and we’ve been there during heatwaves with high humidity. The kitchen, though small has everything you need. There’s even spices, olive oil and balsamic vinegar so it’s pretty easy to do your own cooking. The one large bedroom is a spiral staircase, so if you have difficulty with stairs this may not be for you, but we didn’t mind it a bit. The hardest part is getting the suitcase up and down, but otherwise no issues. The dock is great, getting morning sun but nice and shady in the afternoon. We loved kayaking in the early morning when the lake was oh so still and quiet. The floating loungers were great to relax on the water and cool down. We saw ducks, geese, herons and a bald eagle, so lots of nature to see. I’m sure we’ll be back again. P.S. My husband thinks the cottage needs a name like many of the others around the lake, so he’s decided to call it Leaning Cedars Cottage, hence the description of this review.
