About this property

Private Mountain Pond Cabin

Welcome to Edeneast
If it’s a private back to nature experience you are seeking, you have found an ideal setting for that. This quiet off the grid cabin, all powered by propane, is very private, is at an elevation of 1100 feet and fronts on a crystal clear pond with no other camps in view. Get away from the busy stressful world we all live in and relax. . Eden is a wonderful place to take in the Vermont summer or fall. Reconnect with nature and each other here.

The cabin faces west on the pond and has a screened porch overlooking the pond. This is a comfortable but simple cabin that does not have electricity but has propane lights, gas fridge, stove, hot water heater and full bathroom. It is an Open design on the lower level with kitchen, living room dining area and one bedroom with a double bed and bathroom. There is also a loft for additional sleeping area. The property has 400 feet of frontage on the pond with swimming area, dock and canoe.You can even swim au natural if you want ! The pond has beaver, turtle, visiting loons and ducks and has perch, bass and sunfish for the fisherman.

Everything you need for cooking, meal preparation and utensils is provided. You must bring your own sheets, ( double for the bedroom and queen size for the loft), towels and paper products. Plenty of blankets are on site. There is a Weber charcoal grill available for barbecuing. We do not allow outside campfires due to fire danger. There is no easy way to extinguish a fire.
Everything you might need for food is just 3 miles away at a decent size market.

If you desire more activity than hanging around the cabin, there are numerous hiking and biking trails nearby and many opportunities for canoeing and fishing. The camp is about 40 minutes north of Stowe, Vt. Which is a charming ski town with great restaurants and shops.The whole area is a recreational paradise: There is a new indoor water park at Jay peak nearby and many interesting towns and other sites to take in. The camp is a beautiful place for the fall foliage and has a wood stove with plenty of wood for those crisp fall days.

The Weekly rate is $800.The camp is available for rent from late May through October .The daily rate for stays shorter than a week is $145. There is a minimum 3 day stay policy.
I also charge a refundable $100 cleaning/security deposit. This is a unique arrangement in that I rely on the camper to clean the camp thoroughly and remove all garbage before leaving. This keeps the cost down.
I limit the number of guests to 4 as there is a dug well and water must be conserved.

Because the pond is private and extremely quiet, it is important for any potential renters to understand that they must keep a low profile here so as not to disturb the unique nature of this spot. Dogs may be considered if they present no risk in terms of chasing wildlife or barking. There is a canoe provided but due to milfoil concerns, I do not allow renters to put their own kayaks or other boats in the pond.
Note, the camp is only available late May to October. It is closed in the winter.

Another pefect week away from it all at Ed's camp in Eden, VT
This was my second summer spending a week away from it all in Eden, VT, on this lovely lake. The cabin is set up on a small hill looking down over the lake. So lovely views anywhere you look. There is a dock with canoe and lots of things to float on. The lake is almost private with just a few neighbors who are mostly not there. So you feel like you are deep in the woods on your own with only the beavers and the loons! Nothing like the call of the loon at dusk. And the stars! You can see the stars and even the Milky Way! No electricity but that is what we wanted to "unplug" – but still all the conveniences of home with a propane run fridge with freezer that works well, gas stove and lamps throughout the cabin. Running water hot and cold. Bathroom with shower. Everything you need. Great place for kids (they can have their own loft). You can also sleep on the porch overlooking the lake which is a real treat. Ed is always reachable by text and was very helpful with every step. Eden General Store has everything you will need. Lovely places to hike nearby. Highly recommended!

My Review
Very much enjoyed this off the grid cabin. The interior was simple, warm and inviting. The views from every window were great. The deck overlooking the pond was a lovely space.I would love to go again this fall !

About the host

Hosted by Edward Blanchard

Host profile image
My family and I built this cabin in 1989 to have a place to spend time together in all seasons. It has been a wonderful place to have Thanksgiving, 4th of July celebrations, foliage and other times.

Why they chose this property

We grew up in Vermont but left the state for Maine many years ago. This allowed us to have a place in Vermont again.

What makes this property unique

It is so private and we always liked being off the grid, even more important in todays world.
