Beautiful Historic Lakeside Cottage in Greensboro Vermont
Built in the late 1800s as a fishing camp, this secluded rustic lakefront summer cottage on the North Shore of pristine Caspian Lake has been in the same family since the 1920s. Large granite rock formations are a feature of the private shoreline. Sitting on the porch just 10' from the water, you feel as if you're on the deck of a ship. Watch the merganser family make its way along the shoreline, look out on the loons as they dive for dinner, and listen for their eery night-time calls across the water. This is porch life at its finest.
One downstairs bedroom (queen bed), and three upstairs bedrooms with twin beds (4 total). Note the updated bathroom is in a separate little building (once was the ice house) right next to the master bedroom. Renovated kitchen. The living room and downstairs bedroom are insulated. Living room has electric baseboard heater. No fireplace.
Internet access and telephone provided. Linens provided. You need to bring in drinking water. No washer or dryer (public laundry facilities are available in nearby Hardwick).
Dock for swimming and boating access (canoe included). Truly a unique vacation experience!

Wonderfully peaceful vacation for our family at this lakeside retreat that recalls an earlier time! We loved the older camp style of the cottage, combined with a clean, well stocked kitchen and comfortable beds and especially enjoyed the porch with the beautiful view of Caspian Lake.
