Beautiful

We had to find a place to stay for our daughters basketball tournament, and this had enough space for us and her friends family. It was spacious, clean, gorgeous and it surpassed my expectations which were already high. We would definitely stay here again! Especially if it’s warm outside.

Charming & cozy lake chalet

The Chalet by the Lake was so charming & cozy! The decor was very warm and ambient. We stayed right after Christmas, and they had a tree up, which was a very nice touch. We were honored to be the first guests. Tim was very accommodating with assuring we had anything we needed. This place felt like a home away from home as a comfy lake cabin for 8. Really open common area & dining space with a beautiful view of the lake right across the street. Having all linens, cleaning supplies, paper products, condiments, spices, and laundry supplies were very helpful! Our kids slept in, and, loved the loft area which was a big plus! There was a double bunk so it slept 4 easily as well as a trundle pull out so 5-6 kids easily. They enjoyed an array of games in the house in the evening.The host Tim also left us a welcome basket with some local goodies, which was so thoughtful! This location was central to many of the IndyPass resorts so we were able to drive to 3 separate ski resorts each day. We can’t wait to come back and enjoy the lake in the summer months as well! If you are looking for a well maintained, clean, cozy & comfortable place, look no further!

About the host

Hosted by timothy b smith

Host profile image
I grew up in the DC area, but my parents family's vacationed in Vermont since the 1940's. In their spirit I decided to buy a lake chalet in Vermont. I am a teacher who lives 20 minutes from the chalet. I have penchant for travel so I decided to buy a property to share my love for travel.

Why they chose this property

Lake Bomoseen is a clean beautiful body of water that does not have the traffic (people, boats, and cars) that other northeast lakes have. However, it does have the amenities such as restaurants, marinas, and year round activities that are close for all ages to enjoy. Plus the open grassy area with lake access and your own 38 foot dock make this a great property.

What makes this property unique

This is not a lake "camp" with old beat up furniture, dusty areas, and cobwebs to boot. the lake chalet offers a clean, comfortable, and convenient stay with many, if not all the touches of a home. Throughout the chalet you will find that thoughtful touches that separate it from others around the lake. We have carefully crafted the chalet for your enjoyment. In addition, by the summer of 2025 the basement will be finished adding a bunk and rec room. It will be staged with two sets of bunk beds, a foosball table, TV and couches. The loft will stay part office, but will be outfitted with a futon and rocking chairs for overflow accommodations. This will allow the chalet to sleep 8-10 comfortably.
