About this property
Lake Front Home with Stunning Views
This home is located directly on the water, on the east shore of Lake Dunmore, tucked into a sheltered, half-moon bay. It is a modern, energy efficient, four season home, decorated and furnished by an artist. Located in the heart of Vermont's Champlain Valley, we are close to both Middlebury and Brandon. Lake Champlain is 30 minutes away, and The Green Mountains behind us boast world class skiing at Killington, Pico Mountain, and Sugarbush ski Resorts. Excellent golf, antiquing, gallery hopping and dining are minutes away from this serene spot.
Out front, a large, flat lawn, complete with a rope hammock, a campfire pit, is perfect for for recreation and sunning. The sandy beach is ideal for small children.
We're well off the paved road, at the end of a dirt driveway, so the only sounds you'll hear are the loons. Everything needed for relaxing is provided.
There is one bedroom with a CA King bed, a second room with two twin bunks, and a third with a double bed.
Outside there is a large stone patio with loungers, a cocktail table and umbrella, a picnic table, lawn chairs, and a Weber gas grill.

About the host
Hosted by ashley wolff
I'm a self-employed author and illustrator of children's books. I grew up in Middlebury, and have happily returned to the area after 34 years in CA to be closer to my mom. In 2015 I built a state of the art, energy-efficient home right on lovely Lake Dunmore.
I enjoy sharing my colorful, elegant, and artistic home with guests. It's possible we'll meet, as I have created a separate studio apartment in my studio/ArtBarn where I can often be found working on a new book.
I welcome up to 2, sweet dogs who love the country life.

Why they chose this property
My home has several features that make it unique. It is one of the few properties on Lake Dunmore that has a flat lawn with a sandy beach. Many homes around the lake are located at the top of a very steep slope with many steps down to the water. This makes it a great home for small children and anybody who has trouble with a lot of stairs.
My home faces south, so the sun is guaranteed to appear from dawn to dusk, but there is plenty of cool shade as well as airconditioning.
My home is in a wide, deep cove, sheltered from the north winds that sometimes create waves outside the cove. It is always calmer and warmer in the cove.
