Great house one a quiet part of the lake.

Lovely house that was recently updated. We enjoyed sitting out on the covered patio reading, doing puzzles, and just enjoying the lake. Frankly, one of the best houses we've rented at the lake.

Great cottage on Bomoseen

We had a great experience at the cottage! Everything was as pictured and described. The cottage location is well situated for local day-trips and the cottage itself has plenty of lake toys to enjoy being on the water. John was easy to work with, flexible and helpful when we needed to make changes to our reservation, and consistent with communication. We would love to come back.

Easy and Relaxing

The property was great and right on the lake. John has a great host and bent over backwards for us several times. Decent kitchen for cooking, use of a boat with electric motor, good relations with neighbors, etc. We really relaxed and enjoyed our stay. Very peaceful.

Repeat Stay

This was our second stay at the cottage and everything was as good as the first time with the added benefit of relaxed Covid restrictions in the area. The lake was beautiful, the fishing was good - wish the boat lift was operational but otherwise had a great time.

Highly recommend

This was our 2nd stay at John's place and it was just as perfect as the first. The house is well-stocked with everything you could need, is sparkling clean, and John was very responsive and checked in with us upon arrival. For me, the best part was the ability to use his kayaks, where we saw herons, beaver, and osprey. A perfect vacation!

Spotless updated cabin with a well-provisioned kitchen and a gorgeous view of the lake from the dining table. John was accessible and friendly. Even my teens had a blast with the kayaks, canoes, and fishing! Will definitely return!

Another great visit!

We stayed at John's cottage for a second time and it was wonderful again. The water mat and skiff were used every day and were so fun! The house was very clean and smelled great despite lots of recent humidity. John was very responsive to any questions we had as he has been in the past. He is a great host and we hope to come back next summer too!

Cute cabin on Lake Bomoseen

Enjoyed our stay here. Cabin was well stocked, designed, clean and had great layout for our family of 4. Owner was very responsive and friendly. We fished off the private dock and had use of a john boat, canoe and kayaks. Fire pit was great during chilly nights and the stars in this area were fantastic! We stayed in mid-October, so be mindful that certain things in this area are already closed for the season by this time of year (state parks, marina, some restaurants, ATV tours, etc.). We would definitely visit again, next time in summer to take advantage of the beautiful lake!

Wonderful!

We had an amazing week! This felt like home to us and we would love to come back again. The house was well appointed, comfortable and the amenities made it so easy with our children. Use of the kayaks and canoe was key to keeping our tweens busy and unplugged all week. Loved catching bass right off the dock! Nice set up for a family and an easy location on lake Bomoseen! Thank you!

A Little Piece of (Rainy) Heaven

Despite the wet and, on a couple of days/evenings, wild weather, we had a wonderful time during our week at the lake. This was in no small part because of John's pristine cottage. Everything you could want and more is provided in this wonderful place. It is on the quiet end of the lake and it was so peaceful to relax on the dock, in Adirondack chairs on the lawn and under the covered patio. We tried out the pedal boat one day. What an adventure that was for two older ladies. We were great at going backwards and that's all I'll write about that! LOL! John was so communicative and quickly responded to questions. So sorry we missed you the day you came by, John! I really can't express how wonderful this cottage is and the pictures and information given are accurate to a "T". Cannot recommend it highly enough. Thank you, John for everything. Hope to visit again! Lisa and Priscilla

Wonderful place!

Overall we had a wonderful week at the cottage! The house itself is very clean with a well stocked kitchen and comfortable beds. The boats and water mat available were used daily and were great amenities. John was a wonderful host - extremely responsive to questions and even came to the house on short notice to fix something. A love of dogs is a plus as there were many in the neighborhood during our stay. The sunsets and warm lake water were the icing on the cake. We'd love to return!

Mens Fishing Getaway

I brought my teenage son, my wife’s uncle and my 83 year old father here for his first time back to Lake Bomoseen in many, many years. This cottage is truly a great place to stay and relax. Quiet and Very clean and comfortable for us. Everything you could need for a relaxing vacation on the lake. Well appointed with everything you need to cook inside and out on the grill. Comfortable furniture. Owners are very accommodating and helpful in every regard. Friendly neighbors to our left facing the lake. Being in the upper part of the lake above Float Bridge Road, not much high speed boat or PWC traffic. Weeds were getting thick in the area but harvester came through and cut a new path through the center of the upper section. As expected, we caught quite a few bass, although not much of size. This time of year after the post spawn frenzy, most big northern bass head for deeper water or become a little too finicky to bite. We didn’t travel too far south of the bridge this time, but will in the future. We hope to return again next year. A great big Thank You for a great experience.
