Perfect for a peaceful get away in clean fresh Vermont air!

The property itself is stunning, with the lake and mountains, making it a perfect retreat. The house is not only beautiful but also comfortable, offering everything needed for a relaxing stay. I would highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a peaceful and delightful getaway. It’s a place I would happily return to!

We had an excellent 4 day stay at HoneyBear! We came to see our daughter graduate from Bennington College and Linda Jane left some graduation celebration items (my daughter is using the Class of 2026 cup right now) which was very thoughtful. While graduation was rainy and cold, the other days of our stay we had wonderful breakfasts on the deck over looking the pond and enjoying the baby geese swimming by. My only issues were the lack of bedroom doors...especially on the first floor. It was a little uncomfortable for my parents and my father-in-law. So grateful to have the half bath in the loft. We were good going up and down the ladder, but in the middle of night....Super comfortable beds, well stocked kitchen, wish we had booked for the week!

This cottage is the perfect home-base for exploring southern Vermont. The personal touches and smallest details LJ has added to the home make it an exceptional stay. LJ is a fantastic host and very responsive to all communication, even quickly helping us when we had a user error with the lock (100% my fault). We all agreed that we got the best sleep we ever have in any rental we've stayed in. The loft is the best cozy cave ever! We are already looking forward to staying here again and continuing our explorations of the area.

Cozy cabin with a big yard right on a beautiful lake.

We had the most wonderful stay! The house and the property were beautiful, the amentities were excellent, and Linda Jane was an incredibly generous and accommodating host. We visit Bennington every year for Thanksgiving with family and we hope to rent with Linda Jane again in the future.

Loved our day here. Clean, cozy house with a great bonus room and 1/2 bath upstairs for kids/ teens to hang out. On a lovely pond, quiet neighborhood and spacious yard. Fire pit was great and plenty of seating on the deck. We didn’t use the kayaks/canoes due to our short stay, but wish we could have. Easy check-in/ out, communication with owner was quick and seamless. Hope to stay here again.

Lovely lake getaway! Well- appointed, and very clean! Has everything you need to thoroughly relax in the woods! Bedding was super comfortably and Host linda was great ! Will be back !

We had an absolutely incredible vacation staying at Linda's cabin right on Big Pond. Having all the boats to use was great, our dog loved swimming everyday, and Linda was the best host

We had a great time at our Honey Bear cozy cabin; it was excellent. Our host, Linda Jane was awesome and kept in touch with us anytime we needed anything. Thanks Linda for all the goodies! The place was very clean and had everything in there we needed plus a lot of things we never thought would be there; it was great! The location was awesome since we had a big family get together and most of them stayed at Woodford State Park, which was only a mile down the road. It was so nice and close and those staying in lean-to’s and tents, were a little jealous of us! Especially Sunday morning, waking up to pouring rain. Thanks again, Linda Jane. We will definitely be back!

The house was very cozy and had great views. Working with owner was a dream when we had a problem with internet. All fixed now, no other problems! Thanks so much Linda!

Loved the place and the stay. The pictures don’t do it justice. Its was everything we hoped for and more.

Enjoyed the cozy cabin feel. Property was extremely clean and when hit with snow the plow service was totally on top of it! A lovely stay!

What a lovely stay! The cabin was stocked with everything we needed and it was very clean and well organized. The photos don't quite do it justice. Peaceful lake views all day with mountains in the distance - what's not to like? We used the queen bedroom on the main floor and the bed was so very comfortable. We were there for two weeks, so we definitely used the kitchen - again, a well-planned space and well stocked. We hope to be there again!
