Welcome to Sunset Cottage! Enjoy a relaxing and serene getaway at this charming lakeside cottage which faces west and boasts beautiful evening sunsets that can be enjoyed from the screened in porch. The cottage is 2 bedroom, 1 bath and has an open kitchen and living space. This intimate setting allows you to enjoy the peacefulness of nature while still being close to historical Vermont towns.
Located 10 minutes north of Castleton and just under 30 minutes south of Middlebury, this cottage is in the perfect location for graduation weekend or enjoying a peaceful lake house getaway with your family/friends. The cottage is finished with an all pine interior boasting 12+ foot ceilings in the kitchen and living room areas. The front bedroom is furnished with two twin sized beds and the master bedroom overlooks the beautiful screened in porch and lake with a spacious king sized bed. The couch in the living room also folds into a queen sized bed if needed. Enjoy your morning coffee and evening glass of wine on the screened in porch which runs the full width of the house and has a porch swing as well as rocking chairs.
When you're here, we want you to feel at home so Sunset Cottage is equipped with all of the essentials. A Keurig coffee maker, kettle, numerous pots and pans, silverware, dishes, spices and oils, dish soap, sponges, towels (kitchen and bath), linens, and more. You only need to bring your personal items! If you are wondering if there is a specific item at the cottage please feel free to ask! At this time Sunset Cottage is not equipped with kayaks; however, you are welcome to bring your own kayaks, paddle boards, etc.
Sunset Cottage is remote; however, still equipped with the modern amenities you hope for. There is wireless available as well as a Smart TV (log into your own Netflix/Amazon/etc. accounts) and a DVD player is also available. There is a small library of DVDs you are welcome to utilize; however, we welcome you bringing your own in the event of a rainy day! There is not strong cell phone service at the cottage and a land line is provided (a rustic rotary phone in all its vintage charm!).
Sunset Cottage is located 2.5 miles north of Crystal Beach; a public beach for swimming and offers kayaks available to rent, picnic sites, volleyball and basketball courts, a playground and docks for boating and fishing. Additionally there are numerous state parks close by if you're interested in walks/hikes through nature or just want to enjoy the scenery.
Other local attractions include multiple restaurants just minutes away in Castleton, a 5 minute drive to Bomossen Golf Club or take a drive into the town of Middlebury and enjoy local shops and restaurants.
Check-in is 3:00pm and check-out is 11:00am. The cottage is not fully winterized and currently open for rentals May - October. There is a small electric fireplace as well as heat pump which offers both heat and AC.
Note: the cottage is waterfront; however, this particular part of the lake has a significant amount of vegetation and is not ideal for swimming. It is a great spot for launching a kayak or for dogs to play in the water. For swimming accessibility we recommend checking out Crystal Beach 2.5 miles south of the cottage.

A warm, cozy cabin on the lake was the perfect salve for a tired soul. Easy day trips to Hampton beach, Burlington, Kittery, and the Quechee Gorge plus the lovely charms of cruising the New England countryside visiting cider mills, farm stands, and Revolutionary War locations.The cottage is well appointed with every thing from blankets and bath towels to cooking equipment. It's apparent from the start the hosts take their responsibility to heart

Well-appointed cottage on the north end of Lake Bomoseen in a secluded and quiet location with lots of wildlife viewings. The screened porch was our favorite hangout area during the day and there were many books on hand to keep us entertained at night. Our 78 year old skinny bones found the master bed mattress a bit hard so we happily moved to the smaller bedroom with comfortable twin beds. Everything was spotlessly clean and we appreciated that Lilah furnished us with an iron and ironing board upon request. A new favorite home away from home!

The property and home were beautiful. The lake view makes the experience even better. Kitchen has everything you need. The HOST communicating is easy and the host is responsive. Thank you

The cabin was clean but the lighting was insufficient. We actually put a larger bulb in a lamp so I could read. There is no lighting over the table and no lighting over the outside stairs. There is a motion light outside but it did not work correctly and only stayed in a few seconds.
It also lacked any drawers or cabinets to store anything for the week.
I would not ever return.
