We had a wonderful stay at this beautiful lakefront home during our recent weekend in VT. The house was spotlessly clean, thoughtfully decorated, and had everything we needed for a comfortable weekend away. Even though it was too cold to enjoy the big deck and lake views to their fullest, we could still appreciate the peaceful scenery from inside. The space was perfect for our group of three couples — plenty of room for everyone to relax without feeling crowded. We’d love to come back when the weather is warmer to fully enjoy all this lovely property has to offer!

Weekend in Midd

Such a nice weekend stay. We arrived late Friday night and woke up to a beautiful view of Lake Dunmore. The house was clean and welcoming. The kitchen had all one needed. The weather was not in our favor (rained most of the weekend) but it did not matter. It was a perfect spot for our quick weekend to Midd.

Might be the best VRBO ever!

This place is beyond 5 stars! Perfect setting on a beautiful lake. The deck and fire pit with its magical views will make this a definite “We are coming back!” House is perfect - very comfy beds, great kitchen - entire place is easy and very comfortable. I can’t thank the Hosts enough for sharing their wonderful place with us. Fantastic memories were definitely made.

The Dugout was the perfect cozy spot for a cold Middlebury football weekend. Clean, comfy and well-appointed. All so organized -- makes quick in and outs very easy. Thanks for another great stay, Ashley! We can't wait to book this house for a warm weather stay too!

Very Well Equipped Home

Very clean. This house had the most complete kitchen and utensils, pots, frying pans, etc. that I have ever encountered in a rental. Unfortunately, it rained all weekend, so we didn't get to use all of the great porch.

Relaxing

Although the weather was quite hot, it was so nice being next to the lake and having that gentle breeze. Rental was very up to date with several amenities and usable appliances. The refrigerator broke before we got there but the owner flew up from out of state to oversee it's installation while we were there and ensure everything went smoothly.Very relaxing weekend with good friends. Thank you.

The location of the house was very nice, but it had a serious mouse infestation problem, especially inside the kitchen drawers and cabinets.The drawer with the forks and knives had mice droppings. The cabinet with the cutting boards too, and so were several others.We used those utensils before noticing the problem. When we realized the problem was serious, the owner told us she would refund our money if we found another place.When we found another place, we only received a partial refund.VRBO was fantastic, and with just one call and excellent customer service, this problem was resolved
