Renovated little farmhouse

Beautiful, peaceful property on pond, quiet and clean! Art in the home is fun and eclectic. We are so Thankful this property allows dogs without a weight restriction. This helped us include our dogs without the worry of leaving the dogs at an expensive dog boarding place. We had so much fun hiking, running and walks, with strolls around local attractions and leaf peeping; all with the dogs ! Cabot is a nice town and the property is located within 1-2 hours of major attractions such as Montpelier and Stowe. We did not have to contact property manager but notes and details in VRBO are adequate and friendly. Thanks for a great vacation.

Perfect lakeside getaway

We completely enjoyed our week at the Pond House! The dogs loved swimming in the pond off the private island. We loved the privacy, spacious backyard with Adirondack chairs, kitchen, and overall vibe of the property. The house had plenty of room, good wifi for a couple of us working remotely and a huge kitchen that we made good use of. We did have a couple visits from a local skunk in the backyard so watch your dogs if you have them! The loons were beautiful to listen to and we saw a family of beavers one day when we went kayaking. It was very clean, well equipped, and quiet (aside from the occasional car going by). Stargazing is a must. We would definitely stay here again!

Cabot lake house

Beautiful historic Vermont cape farmhouse on a very large private pristine pond (lake) with only a few other houses on the pond and no motor boats. Lovely area for walks and canoe/kayak (supplied) rides and swimming- pet friendly. House has everything you need . Very clean; a beautiful kitchen with all the tools needed to make fine meals. An extraordinary and relaxing stay.

Peace and Beauty

Despite the ever changing, mostly grey and spitting weather, my grown kids, friends, and one happy five year-old thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this lovely, peaceful spot on the planet. Highlights included kayaking in the reeds, the loons’ noghtly chorus, and reading my book on the little island in the sun the last day. I feel connected to the place — family, laughter, love, beauty, peace and silky water can make that happen! Thank you for sharing your special place, Heather. We will be back in some iteration next year!

I could spend the entire summer here

Well, I don't want anyone else to know what a great place this is because I tried to rent it for the next 2 summers for a week and it was already booked!!! It is a beautiful property on a quiet pond. The listing says it all. So so peaceful. Gorgeous views of the lake from the amazing kitchen and living room. Very comfortable. Yes, there is a road nearby and you hear occasional car blasting down the road but it is few and far between. Bring bicycles - mountain is best - there is great riding on the road. Very hilly but a fun ride up and down. I wish we had our water shoes as there are large and small rocks in the water. "ouch" The water shoes would have made it more pleasant as we spent every day in the water. As for adult games, there were only a couple. Monopoly was missing many pieces but playable and Scrabble. There were a few puzzles too. There were plenty of towels for us. We had drinkable water via a Brita filter which was a bonus as so many places one needs to bring in water. There is a washer and dryer in the basement which came in handy on rainy days to dry things out. Phil and Heather were great and Phil helped us out a couple of times.

Quiet Getaway

We had a great few days of relaxation. The views over the pond are amazing and we could enjoy them from the house, or the yard, or the tiny island. They loon calls were a highlight. It was quiet while we were there, just a couple people out on canoes or kayaks. You can hear cars on the road by the house, but it is very lightly traveled. The house had farmhouse charm, with original construction, but moderinized with everything you need.

We were extremely happy with our stay here. The place was clean and had all of the amenities of a lived in home and not just a VRBO. There were a couple of minor things that came up during our 9 day stay, but the owner was quick to respond and get us squared away. Thank you!

A gorgeous retreat!

We chose this location for our family to gather for some time together and to view the eclipse. Heather is an amazing host. This beautiful property is welcoming and comfortable while also filled with antiques and art pieces from around the world. There are interesting things to see on every wall and around each corner. Comfortable beds and nice areas to sit. The kitchen is a dream both for cooking and as a gathering place. It is well stocked with all manner of pots, pans and cooking gadgets as well as pantry items. It was mud season in Vermont so we weren't able to take advantage of the lake but if you are coming at a different time, there is apparently good fishing. It still provided a beautiful view. There are also plenty of things to do in the surrounding area. Communication with our host was very prompt and easy. My only recommendation to guests who want to explore is to bring and "old fashioned" GPS. The house has solid internet but the cell coverage on the surrounding roads is intermittent. I would love to return!

Quaint, rustic, historic house

The view of the pond is beautiful. We enjoyed our stay but there were a few things we were disappointed in. The kitchen was very nice and well-appointed but could use a deep clean and brighter lighting over the island and kitchen table. Being March, it was very cold and windy the first few days we were there. Both the front and back kitchen doors blew open a few times. Like many old homes, there is no heat upstairs so the two upstairs bedrooms were chilly. The downstairs bath has a clawfoot tub/shower with a curtain that tends to stick to you while showering. The upstairs bath is more recently renovated and easier to shower in. I'm not sure why I didn't notice that there are no photos of the bathrooms in the VRBO listing. The washer and dryer are in the basement which is fine but the basement foundation walls were covered with dead mice which startled me. I was surprised to read some of the checkout/cleaning requirements posted on the refrigerator. I really wish that VRBO would require full disclosure in the rental listing. I've never before been asked to wipe down the bathrooms or put all the clean dishes away. Typically, running the dishwasher, wiping down counters and sweeping are required. As an FYI, the Headwaters Restaurant & Pub in Cabot is permanently closed but the Cabot Village Store is very convenient. It's open everyday and has long hours.

Christmas gathering

I was more than impressed by the size of the house, by its relaxed ambiance, and by all the Americana art and collectibles and other wall hangings. The kitchen area was so spacious and well equipped to entertain twelve people on Christmas Eve. Everyone was delighted with this choice of property to have a family Christmas. The bedding was very comfortable, the lake view more than made up for the rainy weather. This property is a gem!

Short Break

Fantastic time hanging out in VT. House was idyllic and located yards from the frozen lake. Great kitchen and lounge and comfortable rooms. Only challenge we had was due to a storm which first knocked out power for about an hour and later in the day the Internet stopped working. There is no cell phone coverage at the house so spent the evening reading books. Loved the short get away.

Perfect Getaway

The home is close to the street but very private. The views from the kitchen and living room are great. Waking up, brewing coffee, and sitting by the lake via the two chairs setup on a small island in the backyard is something that I am going to miss. This home provided a very relaxing getaway. 1:30 away from Burlington, VT. Things to do within 30 minutes: Maple farm, breweries, restaurants, grocery store, coffee shops, book stores, and more. Great restaurant right in Cabot on the main road.

Beautiful Lakeside View

We spent 5 days at The Pond House in mid-September. We were lucky enough to see the Loon family for a couple of days before they flew away for the winter. We also had a Black Bear show up at the end of the driveway one night! He walked right past our motorcycle and my husband before disappearing into the woods next to the house. The pond is definitely THE reason to stay at this property. It is easy to understand how one can while away hours just watching the pond. The views are spectacular whether you are outside or inside. The big windows in the kitchen n living room are perfect for enjoying the scenery even while cooking. There’s plenty of outdoor activities for all ages: lounge chairs are available, picnic table for outdoor dining, playing games or doing crafts, a fire pit, a canoe, kayak, n fishing poles, as well as, swimming in the pond which is crystal clear. It was amazing! The Pond House itself is a unique, one of a kind, property. It is well appointed. The bedding is wonderful! Two big dining tables plus a few bar stools allow plenty of room for everyone to eat, play games, etc. The kids room (as I called it) upstairs has three twin beds in it. I can imagine the fun our grandchildren would have there! There’s even a toy closet. We met a few people who live nearby. Everyone was super friendly. All in all, we had a very relaxing stay n would definitely consider renting this property again.
