Lake Willoughby, also known as theLucerne of America, is considered by some as being the most beautiful lake in Vermont. Located in the town of Westmore, a short disance off 1-91 and 30 miles north of St. Johnsbury, this body of water is known for its crystal clear water, natural sand beaches and great fishing.

With a maximum depth of 312 feet, this is also the deepest lake in the Northeast Kingdom, which makes it a favorite of divers. It covers 1692 acres and is bounded one one side by the steep cliffs of Mt. Pisgah and on the other by Mt. Hor. The lake was formed 12,000 years ago, when glacier rivers of ice carved out 'U' shaped valleys and spectacular cliffs of granite in Vermont's Northeast Kingdom.

The effect is strikingly similar to a Norwegian fjord. About one third of the lake has lakefront properties. There are public beaches at the north and south ends and public access for boaters. The remainder is Willoughby state forest.

Great Family Getaway

5 of 5
Submitted: January 5, 2013 Stayed: December 2012
If you are looking for a clean, spacious, beautiful home with spectacular views look no further. This home has it all! Our party consisted of 6 adults and 6 kids and there was plenty of room for all of us. The layout of the home is also very accommodating, especially the large kitchen/eating area. We took advantage of the snow and did some sledding with the kids outside on the property as well as snowmobiling on trails nearby. Home is nestled away from the hustle and bustle of town so you can go outside and enjoy nature at its best, but it is still close enough that a quick drive can bring you into town for any needed supplies. The wireless connection at the house allows you to stay connected to the "real world" should you choose, as there is no cable TV or radio. We recommend this place to anyone looking for a relaxing getaway. Whether you are an outdoors person or want to snuggle up by the fire and read, you will love this house. An added bonus to our getaway was that both the owner and the rental agent were a pleasure to deal with and were available if needed.

Best Property on LakeWilloughby!

5 of 5
Submitted: September 5, 2012 Stayed: August 2012
We were traveling to the area for my son's wedding, and we had several couples traveling to the area, so we needed a home that was large enough to accomodate us all. Fox Ledge home fit the bill perfectly! We had 8 adults, and we accomodated everyone perfectly with beds to spare.
So, with respect to the house, all I can say is that it was an amazing experience! The house is an artisanal masterpiece, and the location and views are without equal in the area. The rear balcony overlooks the lake, making it a very inviting place to hang out.
Everything we needed was provided, and Tim the owner was extremely focused on making sure we had a great experience. I would absolutely recommend this property to anyone that's looking for a great relaxing vacation in a beautiful setting.

Wonderful getaway

Beautiful home exactly as described. If anything, the pictures don't do it justice. The residence was immaculate and extremely well furnished - from the sleeping areas to the kitchen.

Was looking for a little quiet and seclusion and that's exactly what we found.

The owner and rental manager were both very helpful and made the entire experience extremely smooth and easy.

Would very highly recommend
