Beautifully Renovated Willoughby Vermont Lake View Cottage


Now open in the winter for skiers, ice fishing and snowmobiling! Centrally located in the heart of Vermont's beautiful Northeast Kingdom, the Willoughby Edgeview Cottage is the ideal place for hiking/kayaking and biking adventures, fishing and more!

The Willoughby Edgeview Cottage was built at the dead end of a dirt road as a guesthouse in 1920 as part of a resort in which people from arouhd New England and beyond would rent a cottage with access to a mess hall, roller rink, tennis courts and of course the beach.

Only vestiges remain with the kind of privacy, views and open space that you would expect. Many of the larger houses were torn down in 2018.

The Willoughby Edgeview Cottage is the very last cottage at the dead end of a quiet dirt road with spacious grounds and the best views in the whole association. We may rebuild the main house some day, but right now we love the large lot and privacy!

Named The Willoughby Edgeview Cottage because of its diminutive size and complete privacy, this is a classic Vermont cottage completely renovated in 2016. It has been outfitted with modern conveniences without losing the country charm that relaxes you the moment you step in the door.

The Willoughby Edgeview Cottage has one bedroom with a queen size bed and a small bunk room with built in beds for 2 kids with french doors leading to a large deck with panoramic views overlooking the lake and mountains. There is one bath with a walk in shower. The cottage can sleep 2 adults and 2 children comfortably.

Where the main house once stood, we have built a large dog yard. Inquire about it if you want to bring pets! There is a pet fee, which you will see as you check out which covers pet insurance.

Sitting on top of a knoll which overlooks the lake to the famous Willoughby Gap and mountains, this comfy cottage rests at the end of a short dead-end dirt road so it received ZERO through traffic. Check out the huge outdoor fireplace! With all amenities needed to make it the perfect getaway, why stay anywhere else in Vermont!

The Willoughby Edgeview Cottage has cozy chairs on the porch with morning views perfect for enjoying a cup of coffee. Eat meals around the table on the deck before you head down to Edgewood's private sandy beach for swimming, fishing or boating. The table has and umbrella and the deck a large gas grill. There's also ample seating around the firepit - the perfect place for a sunset bonfire.

There are two large free public beaches in addition to our small private one. You will find several country stores where you can stock up on fishing supplies, beach gear or just stop for a pizza, soft serve ice cream or deli sandwiches. You do not have to drive into town!

This year more winterizing has allowed us to extend our season for spring ice fishing, skiing and other late fall and early spring accommodations. If you do not see the dates you would like, just shoot us an email.
Make yourself comfortable in this cottage, which features a fireplace and a Smart TV. There's a private patio. A kitchen is outfitted with a refrigerator, an oven, and a stovetop. Complimentary wireless internet access keeps you connected, and a DVD player is provided for your entertainment.
Take in the views from a garden and make use of amenities such as barbecue grills.
Guests will find features like internet access and onsite parking.
