Our cottages are located on a peaceful green above the eastern shore of Lake Willoughby. Although we do not offer direct access to the lake, our cottages are perfect for those who do not require being on the water yet seek clean comfortable accommodations at the center of lake activities.

 

Close to local wedding venues, our cottages often provide extra bedrooms for guests joining the many family gatherings which take place at the lake each year.

 

Our spacious scenic grounds with views of the lake are safe for children, strolling and games, or just relaxing in the clear mountain air after a day of hiking, or enjoying the lake.

 

The North Beach, with free parking and magnificent views of Willoughby Gap is 7/10 of a mile away. A spectacular scenic drive of four miles brings you to the South Beach where kayaks and canoes can be rented for an unforgettable paddle between the cliffs of Mt. Hor and Mount Pisgah. The Vermont Fishing Access public boat launch is just 1/4 mile down our hill.
