Some folks have seen this cabin on my blog and didn't know it was available for rent.  You can find details on vermontproperty.com by clicking here, or at VRBO.com by clicking here.

Some photos around our Lake Fairlee Cabin

This is the guest cabin as seen from the lake.

There is a world record holding balloonist who runs a grass landing strip airport and the end of the lake.  You'll frequently see hot air balloons taking off and floating by.  You can reserve a ride for yourself any morning or evening

Looking down at the dock from the top of the steps.

 The main room with a cathedral ceiling, queen size bed, two easy chairs, small dining table looking out on the lake.  Sliding glass doors open onto the deck.  Premium cable & wi-fi provided.  The photo below shows the other side of the cathedral ceiling main room with the kitchenette.  The second room is down the hall to the right.
There is a second room with a full sized refrigerator, microwave.  The bunk beds are used for your suitcase - not for a third party or children (unless they are attending camp on the Lake).
Bath with shower and window overlooking the lake.

This is Passumpsic Point in the fall, and our property is on the very end.  You can see our dock and float off the end of the point, although the houses are hidden in the trees.  The guest cabin & dock are just around the corner of the point to the left.
Passumpsic Point is just below the balloon in this photo.

You can see sunsets like this from the cabin as it faces due west.    The lake stretches in front for more than a mile.  Passumpsic Point is located almost in the middle of the lake.
This fruit and vegetable stand is just a mile from our house and we shop here daily.  In addition to fruits and every kind of veggie you can think of, they carry fresh bread, fresh eggs, cheese and flowers, too.  We actually helped them build this wonderful post-and-beam farm stand along with 40 other neighbors.  You'll enjoy some of the best produce in New England at Crossroad Farm, believe me!

 


One of our favorite hikes yields this southern view from Mt. Pisgah, which rises to 3000 feet and looks out over Lake Willoughby.  This photo features Tim Taylor and his "Berner" Pim - he owns Crossroad Farms along with his wife Janet.




This is a large mouth bass one of our guests caught in Lake Fairlee last summer.  If like to fish, you'll be glad to know this one is still out there - he caught it during the "catch and release" period.

This is your host, maintaining the window boxes on the cabin.
Here are some additional photos of our Lake Fairlee guest cabin and some of the places in the surrounding area.

This is a typical fall scene you'll stumble on when you're out biking, walking or driving.

This view is from the St. Johnsbury area, about an hour's drive.

We can tell you how to drive up this backroad about 15 minutes from the cabin.  See the horses?  Yes, there is a riding stable 10 minutes away.

This road meanders for 6.4 miles around Lake Fairlee - great for walking or biking.

These balloons from the Post Mills airport just keep appearing in early morning or in the evening.  You'll hear the occasional whoosh (sounds like a dragon blowing fire) as Brian, the pilot, refills the balloon with hot air from his propane tanks, and then you won't hear anything for awhile as he floats by... you, too, can arrange a balloon ride during your visit.

Another view just north of our cabin where you can walk, bike and/or drive.

These trees are on the lakeshore to the left of the cabin on the other side of the lake.

You'll pass this barn on your walk up Middlebrook road, about a half mile from the cabin.

Believe it or not, this is a real ice fishing cabin hauled out on the lake every winter!

A somewhat more traditional one.  Note the Ben & Jerry's sky in the background!
Vermonters can apply whimsy even to a log pile.  You can gather they heat their house with wood.

A nearby river you can enjoy when out hiking
