About this property

VT Lakefront Paradise on Pristine Lake Ninevah w/Secluded Beach & Mountain Views

Our home is on the shore of Lake Ninevah -- a large, pristine and sparsely populated lake set amidst wilderness and mountains. It's the perfect place to swim, canoe, kayak, sail, windsurf or fish with its 5 mph boat limit. Escape to this relaxing nature retreat and enjoy stunning views -- just minutes from shops, fine restaurants, theater, tennis, golf, Okemo's Adventure Zone, historic sites, museums & other attractions. Farm & Wilderness camps are nearby. A private road bounded by lovely woods leads to our charming cottage.

Our gently sloping lawn leads to a small, private sand beach and easy access to the lake -- making it great for kids and people of all ages. Go for a refreshing swim or simply delight in wading in the shallow, crystal-clear water by the shore. Explore the lake with our canoe. Go fishing from our private dock. Sunbathe or relax with a good book or a cup of fresh coffee on the sunlit deck or lawn with views of majestic Mt. Okemo. If you're adventurous, hike or bike right from our cottage door.

At night, sit around the fire pit and enjoy S’mores or stargaze at the brilliant night sky.

Our well-stocked kitchen is spacious and fully equipped. Dine indoors or grill your favorite foods on the gas barbecue grill on our deck and dine al fresco. Amenities include free high-speed fiber-optic Wifi, a flat-screen TV, Roku, YoutubeTV, Blu-Ray DVD player, FM radio/CD player with Bluetooth and telephone with free local calls. There are two bedrooms with queen-size accommodations and a bedroom with bunk beds. You'll love our full bath with tub and shower with unlimited hot water.

Enjoy the comforts and conveniences of home in the midst of a lakefront paradise. We welcome hearing from you.

The lake and the loons
Our ideal of a lake cottage: it should have direct views of the water; it should feel like a family getaway, not a sterile collection of IKEA furnishings; many comfortable places to read, dock, canoe or kayak, deck, and a feeling of seclusion. We loved Snugglers Cove: quiet, clean, cozy. I had to work 3 of the days we were here, unfortunately, but the wifi was up to it. We played music on the sound system through Bluetooth, and I am sure the video options are great but we just wanted to read, rest and lake. Sandy was extremely responsive. There are many residents in the area but we still felt secluded. Local communities had been terribly impacted by flooding, but Sandy made sure we knew what services were available (and what roads to avoid). We went to the Hannaford in Rutland, an easy 30 min drive (the Shaws in Ludlow was online ordering only), and had a nice outing to Woodstock later in the week. We were serenaded by loons, and slept wonderfully on very comfortable beds. We'd return in a heartbeat!

The quietest lake you could possibly imagine
Ninevah is sparsely populated. The houses that are there are hard to see even when you are passing by them on a canoe (which is provided). It is completely silent except for the sounds of the ever-present loons and bullfrogs that echo into the night. The lake has the swimming side and the lily pad side (where I saw a moose) so it's the best of both worlds. The house has everything you need. Wi-fi reached out to the dock. Chairs, fans and floats are all included. Sandy was wonderful and always quick to respond. This place is perfect if you are looking to sit in silence and stare at a sunset or listen to the loons away from it all. I highly recommend it.

Nice stay
Make sure you read the instructions that are sent to you carefully. It was a challenge to get my 10’ enclosed trailer in the driveway but I did (due to single lane road and very tight trees) Wi-Fi is only accessible with in a few feet of the cabin unless you go to the main road. The fencing that is up and not movable to keep the geese out is not ideal for launching kayaks. The dock needs to be more accessible as the rocks leading out to the dock could be hazardous. As far as the cleaning expectations of the renters is that the renter’s clean the entire cabin before they leave. As for the bathroom, yes it is a full bath but I could have put my feet in the tube when I was going to the bathroom. The kitchen, living room, bedrooms and outdoor space where as described. Overall we did have a very nice week long vacation.

The Perfect Family Vacation!
This was our absolute favorite family vacation so far! The property the cottage is on is unbelievably beautiful. It’s nestled in the middle of the woods overlooking the most beautiful crystal clear lake with stunning Mountain Views. The cottage has the perfect sized yard for our 2 kids to run around which gradually leads right into the lake. The cottage is set up perfectly for safety of little ones, the deck has a door/gate so my kids didn’t have access to the lake on their own and our one year old wouldn’t be able to play on the stairs. The dirt road you take to get to the house not only adds to the atmosphere of your vacation but it’s perfect for beautiful nature walks each day. If we had to pin point our favorite parts of the cottage it would have to be the dock and the super fun canoe rides. The stars at night were breathtaking (stand on the dock at night, it’s truly amazing.) Our family never turned on the tv once. If you are looking for relaxing in the most peaceful, beautiful setting and having quality time with your loved ones, this is the cottage for you! This was our first time ever visiting Vermont so we wanted to explore What this beautiful state has to offer. (Vermont is now our favorite state, it has miles and miles of untouched natural beauty and quaint little towns) Some musts would be a quick trip to Woodstock to visit Billings farm, walk around the town of Woodstock and lunch or dinner at Long Trail Brewery. Also we really enjoyed Crowley cheese factory and Green Mountain Sugar House (which are only a few minutes from the house) My husband’s a history buff so he really enjoyed Coolidge Homestead as well. Sandy (the owner) was absolutely wonderful. She was extremely helpful, pleasant, and very organized. The cottage is stocked with everything you could ever possibly need and then some. It was very clean and cozy . My family likes to explore new places each year but Vermont and this cottage has a piece of our hearts and we can’t wait to return!

My husband and I love the peace, beauty and wonder of nature. Naturally, we fell in love with Lake Ninevah.

We'd love to answer any questions you have. Please contact us with an Inquiry so we can answer your questions and make sure our lakefront cottage is just what you're looking for before you Request to Book.

Why they chose this property

Lake Ninevah is like heaven on earth. There are only about a dozen cottages on this large lake because preservationists took down cottages and preserved the surrounding land. It's like vacationing in a nature preserve with the conveniences of home. Relax on the lawn or stroll right into the water from the sandy beach or wade at the water's edge while the water gently laps over you-- unlike other vacation spots where the access to the water is via rock ledge. As pristine Lake Ninevah is only about 12 feet deep at it's deepest part, the water temperatures are often delightfully comfortable. Leave the traffic and stress at home. Our cottage is on a beautiful and wooded private road where you can walk or jog amidst the peace & quiet of nature. People who visit Lake Ninevah describe the lake and their experience as 'enchanting' and 'magical.'

What makes this property unique

What others have written about Lake Ninevah:
Lake Ninevah is a well-kept secret in the Eastern Vermont Gateway region. Only about a dozen cottages grace the shore of the 170-acre lake. The rest is protected land under the care of the Ninevah Foundation, a local land conservancy. This pristine lake is only shared by non-owners via the small public boat launch. A few owners of cottages on Lake Ninevah have been generous enough to rent their properties by the week. All guard their seclusion jealously. Here, they can swim, fish, paddle, windsurf and sail in near isolation. The lake has a 5 m.p.h. speed limit imposed, the only sound may be the quiet whir of a trolling motor as background for the call of the resident loons. With a maximum depth of 12 feet, the water warms quickly, inviting even the most skittish bather to dive joyfully in. Canoeing or kayaking the lake is a special treat as so much of the shoreline remains in its natural state. Anglers lucky enough to discover Lake Ninevah enjoy fishing for small mouth bass, sunfish, rock bass, pickerel, pike, large mouth bass and rainbow trout. The private roads around the lake offer plenty of leisurely walks with binoculars or camera and are great for mountain biking. Ninevah Road itself is highly recommended as a scenic bicycling tour.

Visiting Lake Ninevah is only as difficult as finding a vacation rental vacancy. Few private self-catering rentals are offered directly on the lakefront. So, invest in a great set of binoculars and come looking at Lake Ninevah. Let Lake Ninevah share its secrets with you and your family.
