We wanted a no frills, clean place near Middlebury but not in town and this was great for that. Hosts were very responsive and it's evident they really try to make their guests feel welcome. Easy walk to the pub across the street (typ bar food, amazing IPA), and right across from lake. We visited in December so not much lake action, but in the summer this place is perfect for a lake retreat. Love the area, would definitely come back!
