Retreat to a spacious lake home on an acre in Vermont's Northeast Kingdom with three bedrooms, including two in a fully equipped apartment downstairs. The home sleeps up to eight. The upstairs living room features a cathedral ceiling and fireplace in an impressive central brick chimney. Wide views of Echo Lake and sunsets are beautiful from both floors; each has a bathroom, full kitchen and dining space. Up to two house-trained and well-behaved pets are welcome. $100 deposit for each. Beauty can be enjoyed on the property and all around. Swimming, boating, fishing, and biking can be enjoyed right from the house. There are several nearby hiking trails. Life jackets must be worn while using the kayaks and canoe. Guests can use the whole house but not the garage. We have a camera in the garage to alert us to unwelcome visitors; that hasn't happened. Once you book, Julie Carr will manage the rental but I also will be available in the event of any problems. The Echo Lake community is committed to a clean lake and volunteers have worked to keep it healthy. People are friendly and you'll see others walking the five miles around the lake in any season. The location is rural and some 30 minutes from the Canadian border. Check out My Northeast Kingdom on YouTube to see the area. A car is critical, but there are walking trails not far from the house so it may not be necessary to drive anywhere once you arrive with all your groceries. There is a $150 cleaning fee for a cleaning process specific to Airbandb requirements. Best to bring your groceries with you as the nearest market is 11 miles away in Island Pond, and it's limited.
