About this property

Affordable 2-Bedroom Cottage, Private Access to Caspian Lake

Guest cottage associated with (but not visible from) Gray Eyrie (for Eyrie see VRBO #170513.) Equipped with full kitchen and bath, master bedroom w. queen bed & 2nd bedroom w/two twins. Atop Baker Hill, cottage faces eastward towards Stannard and Wheelock Mountains. Location is 0.6 mile from Caspian Lake dock shared with Eyrie. Canoe included. The 80-acre property adjoins The Nature Conservancy's 256-acre Barr Hill Preserve, offering miles of hiking trails and picnic sites with sightings of wildlife and views spanning Vermont’s Green Mountains and New Hampshire’s White Mountains. Biking is another popular activity.

Greensboro is a preeminently rural community in Orleans County, one of three that make up Vermont's fabled Northeast Kingdom. The village has several dairy farms as well as fields and forests conserved by The Nature Conservancy, the Vermont Land Trust and the Greensboro Land Trust. Greensboro has a richly stocked general store (Willey's), and a country club with tennis and golf that nonmembers can access for daily fees (mvcc). A gourmet restaurant is available nearby (Scale House). The village and hinterland offer picturesque drives over back-country roads beside rivers, lakes and hills.

Cozy stay next to outdoor fun
Another excellent stay at Clive's! The property is clean and well appointed with everything you need for a low-key stay. The wood-burning stove made for cozy nights after days spent on the water and in the woods in the NEK. We'll be back again.

A peaceful retreat
One of the best locations we have ever seen for hiking, nature, and wildlife. I appreciated Clive's attentiveness and guidance - that his family preserved the adjacent land is amazing! We feel so lucky to have enjoyed the cabin (which is exactly as the photos suggest, very cozy and comfortable). Do come prepared to cook your own meals, restaurants are scarce, but the kitchen is well equipped. We really didn't want to leave - it was such a lovely, peaceful retreat. Thank you, Clive and family!

Wild Beauty
Clive was a gracious host and we're thankful to his family for protecting these pristine woods and sharing this property with the public. We loved our few days in this location perched on top of a hill (more like a mountain!) overlooking a scenic mountain ridge and nestled in conserved forests. The only sounds were the cows at a nearby farm and a wealth of wildlife. Easy access to gorgeous trails and the lake made for a great getaway. The general store in town had all we needed for provisions and coffee and pastries from Front Seat in Hardwick were top notch. With the addition of a new, more comfortable mattress and seating, this would be a perfect place to relax and rejuvenate.

Loved it!
Great spot. Very tranquil with great views of the surrounding area. Short distance to several good markets and hikes. We jumped in the lake at the property after one hot day's trek. Kitchen is adequate for cooking, which we did. You can watch the sunrise over the distant hills and the fog burn off the low spots in the valley on cool mornings. Overall very very good, my only wish would be a new mattress on the big bed. Clive is a very cordial gent and welcomed us to this great hilltop hideaway himself. Thanks Clive!
