Wonderful lake house

5 of 5
Submitted: October 26, 2012 Stayed: October 2012
If you ever stayed at a 'lake house' as a kid, coming here will bring it all rushing back. This house is utterly charming, and is roomier than it looks from the pictures. We went for a long weekend, with four adults, and found that the accommodations were perfect - clean, well-equipped, and nicely laid out.
We were too late for swimming but built a fire every evening in the fireplace, which made the living room wonderfully comfortable. The windows and decks make the house flow into the outdoors.
Directions and arrangements were perfect.
Wifi tended to be a bit cantankerous but that is the nature of a rural area. Cell phone connectivity (verizon) was fine so we were able to still get e-mail when the connection dropped.

We'll definitely come back again. The water looked so appealing, we've got to come back for a swim.

Terrific respite!

We had such a great time during our long weekend stay in Vermont. The Island House Rental was icing on the cake. For our group of 8 adults, it provided the perfect balance of common area for communal food, drinks and conversation with sleeping areas for quiet rejuvenation. The scenery was idyllic. A lovely, comfortable stay.

Perfect Private Getaway

5 of 5
Submitted: June 22, 2011 Stayed: June 2011
Our experience at Lake Raponda was an excelent one. The Island was very clean and very spacious, plenty of room for my dogs to play, The house was very cozy. We were there June 11 through June 18 it just so happened to rain every day and was only 52 during the day but we did have 2 sunny mornings. Even with the rain we had a great time, we had fires every night in the fireplace, and there was plenty of games and puzzles to play.
I highly recomend this property for vacation. I will be coming back next year.....Hope it doesn't rain again....
