About this property

Cross Country Ski? Downhill? Prospect and Mt Snow. Winter wonderland book now.

Come & stay at my beautiful Moose Lakehouse in Woodford VT! Just recently painted and decorated inside, with new siding outside. Nice new walk-in shower. To add to the ambiance, a babbling brook flows on the side of the house...open the windows in the bonus room to hear it!

You will find a fully supplied, well-equipped kitchen and eating area, just bring your own food. Condiments such as ketchup, mayo, etc. are supplied.

Relax in the comfortable living room with a pellet stove that will keep you warm as you take in the magnificent view of the lake. Two new pull-out couches (one full and one twin) provide sleeping accommodation in this room.

Up the spiral staircase to the loft, you will find an amazingly comfortable queen-sized bed. Wake up and look out onto the lake and begin your day with beauty and peace!

There is a bonus side-room, with a comfortable large futon that sleeps two adults, plus a single bed, and a bunk bed. There is a slider door between the living room and bonus room.

A hairdryer is provided

The Lake House is stocked with plenty of board games for the whole family.
Internet WIFI!

There is a new composite beautiful deck in back. Dine on the new round patio table with four chairs, or soak in the sun overlooking the gorgeous lake. Take to the water with kayaks, a paddle boat, or paddle boards - life jackets provided. Take a fishing pole and catch the big one!
In winter months, enjoy ice skating and ice fishing on the lake, or bring your snowmobiles. The entrance to the VAST Trail is up Mountain Road through the power lines. Cross country skiing is available at Prospect Mountain, just a one-minute ride away.
The Mountain General store is a few minutes away on Route 9 for your ease of quick needed items
In the evening, cook out on the grill and then sit around the fire pit to make s'mores. On clear nights, there is so little pollution that you clearly see the Milky Way stretch from horizon to horizon. There are binoculars by the TV and prepare yourself to see more stars than you've ever seen in your life! Shooting stars are in abundance.
The frogs will sing you a tune every night

Take a break from the magic and drive down the road in either direction to neighboring towns. Bennington and Wilmington both have plenty of places to shop, eat, and enjoy some sightseeing and history.

The Lake House has had the honor of having two couples becoming engaged during their stay and has provided a romantic escape for six honeymooners! This past year a couple even married at the Lake House! Every9one that stays there is amazed how wonderful it is.

We are here to make your stay the best you have ever had. Let me know your needs, and it will be my pleasure to book your stay right at this moment...

I look forward to hearing from you soon!

Kindly,
Linda Jane

P.S. If there is no availability at the Lake House for your dates, you would like an alternate choice, or you require two rentals for a larger group, please check out my other rental just down the road...the Honey Bear Cottage (VRBO #1758720).

Lake House

We had a lovely stay. Everything was as expected. Owner was kind and responsive. House is cute with a great location on a beautiful lake. House was in a community around the corner from the skiing we were staying visiting for.

Excellent property!!! Loved this for my vacation.

I stayed with my family and dogs. The place was clean and decorated so cute. Very comfy. All the essentials are there. Walmart in Bennington delivers to this location if you forget something or if you want groceries delivered. It’s only 16 minutes away. We will be back! Great communication. Quiet area.

Family fun at the cottage

We enjoyed our stay. It was a beautiful cottage on a very nice pond. We enjoyed kayaking, eating our meals on the deck overlooking the water, and enjoying a fire every night. It also was only a couple hours away from Fort Ticonderoga, so we enjoyed going there one day.

Great place for a getaway

My wife and I enjoyed a 2-night getaway and wished we had more time. We took the rowboat out into the lake and our water loving labrador retriever swam after us making it a memorable time. Then we just hung out on the deck, with the gas fire table and fully stocked house. Host was very nice.

Woodford Vermont Stay

The property was really nice, homey and included any amenity that you would need. Close to two other larger towns and beautiful Vermont attractions such as Equinox sky way. Nestled between Wilmington and Bennington there were attractions and shopping. Close to Woodford State Park where we able to bring our dogs which and enjoy a relaxing day on the lake.

Highly recommend!

We had a wonderful time at this beautiful waterfront home despite a few days of cloudy, rainy weather. The house was clean and well-stocked with everything you'd need. We had a blast on the kayaks and fishing from the rowboat (although the big one got away). You are right in the middle of the Green Mountain National Forest with lots of trails going down to the beautiful, boulder-filled river, a fun water option. Great hiking available within an easy drive. We are definitely planning on returning!

Great little lake house

Linda was a great host and Moose Lodge is a charming place in a stellar lakefront location. Better suited for couples or smaller families and you have to not mind ascending and descending a spiral staircase to go to the bathroom at night, but the kayaks made for easy and fun fishing, the fire pit was great, and everyone had fun. Just FYI, there's no dock and the bottom is pretty muddy, but picky kids can walk down the street 50 yards and swim at the community beach. All in all a great stay!

Little oasis

Another wonderful stay at Linda Jane’s cottage. Nothing but good things to say about the cottage and Linda Jane. Ideal for those that want a relaxing vacation away from the hustle and bustle. It has everything you need to stay in and enjoy but it’s also close enough to many stores and dining. Already planning our next stay !

Wonderful stay

The house has a beautiful view of the lake and is very clean. It is beautifully decorated, and has all the supplies that are needed for comfortable stay. The owner is very thoughtful and the house is nicely organized. We appreciated the Christmas decorations during our holiday stay, extra towels prepared for the dog and the dog treats. The house is nicely stocked with family games, and there is beautiful trail in walking distance: up the hill to vast trail, and path through the forest to Little Pond trail.

Beautiful stay

The Moose Cottage exceeded our expectations, and Linda Jane was a wonderful host. Very responsive and very kind. There was plenty to do at the cottage that you didn’t have to leave, but if you do you’re right in between Bennington and Wilmington, also close to Marlboro. The cottage itself was immaculate and very cozy. We loved hopping in the canoe at sunset - very beautiful ! We enjoyed all that it had to offer and cannot wait to return. 12/10 stay !

Weekend Getaway

I highly recommend staying at this property. Everything was as described. The house was immaculate and had everything one could need. Linda Jane was so helpful with recommendations. We ate all our meals on the beautiful deck over looking lake. We also enjoyed the paddle boat and kayaks. Each night we sat out by the fire pit and listened to the peepers. It was such a peaceful and relaxing weekend. We will definitely be back.

Just like home!

Linda made us feel so welcomed, she accommodated us for an early arrival with music, a bottle of wine and some local cheese. The view was amazing, every possible water sport equipment was available to us. She had everything available for us i.e. condiments, cookware, cleaning supplies, shower products, towels, plenty of cozy blankets and pillows. We really we set to enjoy our stay without running out for little things. We truly felt at home.

Why they chose this property

Passed by Woodford Lake off of route 9 a thousand times. One day my car made a sharp turn into this private community, where I saw a sign 'Home for sale by owner'
The minute I walked in, I knew it was meant to be.
Its magical here at Woodford Lake! Come and stay and find out for yourself!

What makes this property unique

As you walk into the house, look directly out to the sparkling water surrounded by glorious mountains. Listen to the sounds of the babbling brook on the side of the house.
Picture the perfect winter wonderland. That is what it is like in Woodford.
It's magical for a romantic weekend!
