A gorgeous retreat!
We chose this location for our family to gather for some time together and to view the eclipse. Heather is an amazing host. This beautiful property is welcoming and comfortable while also filled with antiques and art pieces from around the world. There are interesting things to see on every wall and around each corner. Comfortable beds and nice areas to sit. The kitchen is a dream both for cooking and as a gathering place. It is well stocked with all manner of pots, pans and cooking gadgets as well as pantry items. It was mud season in Vermont so we weren't able to take advantage of the lake but if you are coming at a different time, there is apparently good fishing. It still provided a beautiful view. There are also plenty of things to do in the surrounding area. Communication with our host was very prompt and easy. My only recommendation to guests who want to explore is to bring and "old fashioned" GPS. The house has solid internet but the cell coverage on the surrounding roads is intermittent. I would love to return!

Quaint, rustic, historic house
The view of the pond is beautiful. We enjoyed our stay but there were a few things we were disappointed in. The kitchen was very nice and well-appointed but could use a deep clean and brighter lighting over the island and kitchen table. Being March, it was very cold and windy the first few days we were there. Both the front and back kitchen doors blew open a few times. Like many old homes, there is no heat upstairs so the two upstairs bedrooms were chilly. The downstairs bath has a clawfoot tub/shower with a curtain that tends to stick to you while showering. The upstairs bath is more recently renovated and easier to shower in. I'm not sure why I didn't notice that there are no photos of the bathrooms in the VRBO listing. The washer and dryer are in the basement which is fine but the basement foundation walls were covered with dead mice which startled me. I was surprised to read some of the checkout/cleaning requirements posted on the refrigerator. I really wish that VRBO would require full disclosure in the rental listing. I've never before been asked to wipe down the bathrooms or put all the clean dishes away. Typically, running the dishwasher, wiping down counters and sweeping are required. As an FYI, the Headwaters Restaurant & Pub in Cabot is permanently closed but the Cabot Village Store is very convenient. It's open everyday and has long hours.

Christmas gathering
I was more than impressed by the size of the house, by its relaxed ambiance, and by all the Americana art and collectibles and other wall hangings. The kitchen area was so spacious and well equipped to entertain twelve people on Christmas Eve. Everyone was delighted with this choice of property to have a family Christmas. The bedding was very comfortable, the lake view more than made up for the rainy weather. This property is a gem!

Short Break
Fantastic time hanging out in VT. House was idyllic and located yards from the frozen lake. Great kitchen and lounge and comfortable rooms. Only challenge we had was due to a storm which first knocked out power for about an hour and later in the day the Internet stopped working. There is no cell phone coverage at the house so spent the evening reading books. Loved the short get away.

Perfect Getaway
The home is close to the street but very private. The views from the kitchen and living room are great. Waking up, brewing coffee, and sitting by the lake via the two chairs setup on a small island in the backyard is something that I am going to miss. This home provided a very relaxing getaway. 1:30 away from Burlington, VT. Things to do within 30 minutes: Maple farm, breweries, restaurants, grocery store, coffee shops, book stores, and more. Great restaurant right in Cabot on the main road.

Beautiful Lakeside View
We spent 5 days at The Pond House in mid-September. We were lucky enough to see the Loon family for a couple of days before they flew away for the winter. We also had a Black Bear show up at the end of the driveway one night! He walked right past our motorcycle and my husband before disappearing into the woods next to the house. The pond is definitely THE reason to stay at this property. It is easy to understand how one can while away hours just watching the pond. The views are spectacular whether you are outside or inside. The big windows in the kitchen n living room are perfect for enjoying the scenery even while cooking. There’s plenty of outdoor activities for all ages: lounge chairs are available, picnic table for outdoor dining, playing games or doing crafts, a fire pit, a canoe, kayak, n fishing poles, as well as, swimming in the pond which is crystal clear. It was amazing! The Pond House itself is a unique, one of a kind, property. It is well appointed. The bedding is wonderful! Two big dining tables plus a few bar stools allow plenty of room for everyone to eat, play games, etc. The kids room (as I called it) upstairs has three twin beds in it. I can imagine the fun our grandchildren would have there! There’s even a toy closet. We met a few people who live nearby. Everyone was super friendly. All in all, we had a very relaxing stay n would definitely consider renting this property again.

Not as expected
Communication prior to arrival was good. The house was clean, overall, except there was a stack of plates next to the sink. The top plate was clean, but the rest beneath were slimy and covered in food - gross. The decore in the house is not shown on the website. It is pagan at best, demonic at worst. We had to cover quite a bit of it so the kids couldn't see - think "tribal." The view of the pond was quite nice from every single room that faced it. There was not a bad time in the day to look at the water. The lawn between the water was well-manicured. The canoe had a broken seat at the stern, and the row boat had an oar permanently fixed to the oarlock. In all, the maritime equipment is not in good repair. The lawn furniture looks inviting at a distance, but is really scuzzy and moldy when you go to sit down. The basement was well-appointed with washer and dryer; very neat. The coffee-maker in the kitchen is really cheap, and you had to keep replacing a little spring and housing unit every time you removed the carafe. Almost all of the cookware is scratched at pitted to the point of being unusable. We basically made everything with one pot. There is a big crack in the main floor hallway by the vent that needs to be repaired, so much that it dips if you walk next to it - very dangerous. Decoration is obviously personal opinion, but I feel the natural beauty of the house has been marred by the decoration, perhaps that is why the owner chose not to show it on the website.

R&R
This is a lovely and private Vermont post and beam cape home on a very private "pond" which really is big enough to be called a lake, located in Cabot, in the Northeast Kingdom of Vermont. It is very unique to have privacy on a lake. There are only 3 or 4 houses on this entire lake and so very quiet and peaceful. We like to canoe and there is a canoe and several kayaks. Loons on the lake and fishing, if you like to fish. House has everything you could want and is unique with good books and nice art on the walls and internet and TV. Swimming is also perfect if you like pristine lake water. There is a tiny island accessed by a small foot bridge. The photos on the VRBO site are accurate, except you really have to be there for a sunset and sunrise to understand how magical this house and location are. We'll be back next year.
