Beautifully Renovated Willoughby Vermont Lake View Cottage


Now open in the winter for skiers, ice fishing and snowmobiling! Centrally located in the heart of Vermont's beautiful Northeast Kingdom, the Willoughby Edgeview Cottage is the ideal place for hiking/kayaking and biking adventures, fishing and more!

The Willoughby Edgeview Cottage was built at the dead end of a dirt road as a guesthouse in 1920 as part of a resort in which people from arouhd New England and beyond would rent a cottage with access to a mess hall, roller rink, tennis courts and of course the beach.

Only vestiges remain with the kind of privacy, views and open space that you would expect. Many of the larger houses were torn down in 2018.

The Willoughby Edgeview Cottage is the very last cottage at the dead end of a quiet dirt road with spacious grounds and the best views in the whole association. We may rebuild the main house some day, but right now we love the large lot and privacy!

Named The Willoughby Edgeview Cottage because of its diminutive size and complete privacy, this is a classic Vermont cottage completely renovated in 2016. It has been outfitted with modern conveniences without losing the country charm that relaxes you the moment you step in the door.

The Willoughby Edgeview Cottage has one bedroom with a queen size bed and a small bunk room with built in beds for 2 kids with french doors leading to a large deck with panoramic views overlooking the lake and mountains. There is one bath with a walk in shower. The cottage can sleep 2 adults and 2 children comfortably.

Where the main house once stood, we have built a large dog yard. Inquire about it if you want to bring pets! There is a pet fee, which you will see as you check out which covers pet insurance.

Sitting on top of a knoll which overlooks the lake to the famous Willoughby Gap and mountains, this comfy cottage rests at the end of a short dead-end dirt road so it received ZERO through traffic. Check out the huge outdoor fireplace! With all amenities needed to make it the perfect getaway, why stay anywhere else in Vermont!

The Willoughby Edgeview Cottage has cozy chairs on the porch with morning views perfect for enjoying a cup of coffee. Eat meals around the table on the deck before you head down to Edgewood's private sandy beach for swimming, fishing or boating. The table has and umbrella and the deck a large gas grill. There's also ample seating around the firepit - the perfect place for a sunset bonfire.

There are two large free public beaches in addition to our small private one. You will find several country stores where you can stock up on fishing supplies, beach gear or just stop for a pizza, soft serve ice cream or deli sandwiches. You do not have to drive into town!

This year more winterizing has allowed us to extend our season for spring ice fishing, skiing and other late fall and early spring accommodations. If you do not see the dates you would like, just shoot us an email.
Make yourself comfortable in this cottage, which features a fireplace and a Smart TV. There's a private patio. A kitchen is outfitted with a refrigerator, an oven, and a stovetop. Complimentary wireless internet access keeps you connected, and a DVD player is provided for your entertainment.
Take in the views from a garden and make use of amenities such as barbecue grills.
Guests will find features like internet access and onsite parking.

Loved the size of the cottage, location of being the last on a private road, large fenced in dog area, deck, and private beach. The beach was down a long hill and across the road which most people could walk to but I can’t so the ability to park there was a big positive. My error that I didn’t realize there was no air conditioning. But this was not a problem as they had ceiling fans and a nice breeze coming through the windows. Communication with the owner was pretty quick.Did not like the dirty front of the refrigerator, handle was sticky, but inside was clean. Some of the cabinets were sticky too. Also the lighting wasn’t very good. Just some minor problems but all in all we did enjoy our stay.

The cottage is absolutely perfect! It was just the right size for our family of 4, plus our dog. The location is very quiet at the end of a road with beautiful views. The cottage is very comfortable with just enough modern updates. The private beach is shared with the other homes on the road but not crowded. Sandy lake bottom that’s shallow for quite a ways out, great for kids. Our dog loved the fenced in back yard. We have already reserved for next year!

We had another wonderful stay on the lake with our dogs! Cottage was just as great as it was 3 years ago & the new owners were lovely! Excellent communication, cottage was clean and cozy, as described with a few upgrades! We loved sitting on the enclosed porch or gated deck with a drink after a hike or mountain bike ride & our dogs just relaxed on their beds looking at the beautiful lake view. The community beach was a great way to cool off after the days activities & the BBQ grill was perfect for quick and easy dinners. Highly recommend this vacation rental!

Charming cabin by the lake

We had a really nice stay. Tim was very kind and inviting, made sure check in was a breeze, and was helpful with recommendations. The kitchen had everything we needed. The location is great, as is the view. Bed was comfortable but is also on wheels which was a problem for our dog going under the bed. We also discovered a lot of dust bunnies under the bed and arm chair as a result. Lastly, you should know that the water is sulfurous. It didn't bother us but it's worth knowing. We would return.

Amazing view & comfy house

The view of the lake and mountains is amazing. The house itself was very comfortable and clean with plenty of places inside and out to relax and stretch out. We also had daily visits from a deer and her fawn (from a hundred yards or so away, of course). This is definitely our new spot for NEK getaway times.

The cabin was a perfect place to stay. The views and property are amazing. My dogs loved the fenced in area. I cannot recommend this place enough. Tim was a great host and made sure to stop by and say hello and to check that we were okay.

Accessible

Took my elderly mother to see the early fall leaves. The property is largely accessible for someone who uses a walker. There are a couple of steps into the cabin. In the cabin the doorways are wide enough for a walker. The shower is walk-in (no grab bars of course). We brought a small portable raised toilet which worked well. The view from the deck and porch is lovely. The dogs loved the dog pen area. I was concerned about possibly being cold given it’s shoulder season, but the cabin was toasty with the gas fireplace. We could drive down/across 5A to the small private beach for canoe access (though my mother didn’t do that).

We had a wonderful week at this cottage! The views of the lake are amazing and the cottage had everything we needed. We loved the private beach, even though it was a little chilly when we were there! It’s a great home base for hiking, scenic drives, and any other adventuring you want to do in the gorgeous Northeast Kingdom!

Comfortable cottage with beautiful lake view.

We enjoyed our stay at Tim and Cheryl’s cottage. The deck, porch, and lawn were so comfortable for relaxing views of beautiful Lake Willoughby and for star gazing. The cottage was peaceful and had everything we needed for cooking. Cheryl and Tim were very welcoming and made themselves available to answer all our questions. We enjoyed the Lake Willoughby area trails and beaches and canoeing on the Lake. Hope to come back next year!

Getting away from it all

Tim and Cheryl were awesome hosts. The cottage was perfect for us and our dog. We loved sitting on the porch watching the lake and loving the quiet. Be sure to have drinking water and get used to the internet being wonky. Cell service was very sporadic, but we didn't care. It's very dog friendly with a dog run and the porch had a safety gate. Thanks Tim and Cheryl!!
