Perfect for a peaceful get away in clean fresh Vermont air!
This cottage is nestled in the mountains of Woodford VT, in a private location directly on the lake. You will experience sheer delight during your stay at the Honey Bear Lake Cottage!
Choose from multiple sizes of beds to sleep, in each of three separate rooms. Enjoy brand-new stainless-steel appliances in the kitchen as you cook your favorite dishes. There is also a brand-new gas grill on the deck. The kitchen is fully supplied, just bring your own food. Condiments such as ketchup, mayo, etc. are available. Dine indoors, or al fresco on the deck.
Sit by the propane firepit outside on the deck or start a real fire to roast your marshmallows in the pit by the lake. Rock yourself to sleep on the glider swing or sit on the bench in the corner to meditate! The frogs will sing a song to you.
Jump in the three-man canoe for a cruise or take the kayaks for a leisurely spin around the lake and take a world around the lake on the paddle board.
There is a TV in the living room, as well as one in the upstairs loft bedroom. Play a board game in front of the propane fireplace in the cozy living room.
All fresh linens are supplied, including plenty of towels. Also provided are toiletries and a hairdryer.
In winter months, enjoy ice skating and ice fishing on the lake, or bring your snowmobiles. The entrance to the VAST Trail is up Mountain Road through the power lines. Cross country skiing is available at Prospect Mountain, just a one-minute ride away.
Take a break from the magic and drive down the road in either direction to neighboring towns. Bennington and Wilmington both have plenty of places to shop, eat, and enjoy some sightseeing and history.
Few minutes away is the Mountain General store if you need some basics and help support local business.
We are here to make your stay the best you have ever had. Let me know your needs, and It will be my pleasure to book your stay right at this moment...you no longer have to search anywhere else!
look forward to hearing from you soon!
Kindly,
Linda Jane

Ski weekend
Linda Jane’s place is absolutely wonderful! The house was sparkling clean and had everything we could need for a weekend ski getaway. Also situated on a scenic pond in a quiet neighborhood. About 30 minute drive to Mt. Snow. Only thing to note, the cabin is a bit open concept, so Linda Jane kindly provided a divider to allow for more privacy between the downstairs bedrooms. We had a great weekend with friends and would love to plan a trip back!

Bear Cottage in Woodford
The cottage is absolutely adorable, and is furnished with all the amenities. The beds are Uber comfortable. The kitchen is beautiful and is stocked with all the appliances you would expect and more. The house is clean, comfortable, cozy and has a bit of whimsical decor which our kids loved. It fit our family of 5 perfectly. The views are stunning. It’s 25 min away from Mt Snow. The owner is very responsive and flexible. We would absolutely stay here again. We loved it. Thank you for a great escape.

Thanksgiving Getaway
If you're looking for a nice late fall weekend getaway or even a lengthier stay in a charming little lake front cottage, than look no further! We arrived to beautiful snowy scenery with a lovely view of the lake (which was just beginning to freeze over for the winter) and a welcoming note accompanied by a delicious bottle of red! Thank you, Linda Jane! The cottage was fully stocked, clean, and very warm and cozy, with just the right amount of rustic feel you would expect from a lakeside cottage. We had a great time exploring the area visiting the local shops, restaurants and of course the general stores in almost every town along the way. The town of Bennington has a few local breweries and a local distillery, both with good food and drink. It was a wonderful relaxing trip, and we couldn't have asked for a better host. Hope to return for some winter and summer fun in the future!

Wonderful home and experience!
We received the warmest welcome and were fully taken care of. Linda Jane went out of her way to ensure all of our needs were met and that we had an enjoyable experience. She was highly responsive to our questions and accommodation requests. We had a wonderful time enjoying the lake and surrounding area in the state and National forests!

Vermont Lakeside Getaway
We had a wonderful stay at this warm and inviting lakeside home. Sitting out on the deck early mornings and evenings accompanied by the firepit and picturesque autumn lake was especially peaceful. We took advantage of the beautiful weather and got out on the lake in the paddleboat. The home is cozy and inviting. The upstairs loft is so beautiful and we had to take advantage of sleeping up there with a view of the lake out the window. The host was gracious and communication was easy. The surrounding area was beautiful. We enjoyed scenic country drives, small town charm and of course the breathtaking landscape a Vermont October offers.

Great Long Weekend Stay
We had a very nice stay for our long weekend get away. The cottage has everything we needed and is very clean. We did not have the best weather, so looking forward to visiting again to be able to enjoy the kayaks and pond.

Labor Day Lake Vacation
The weather was perfect for enjoying this water front property. It was so easy and convenient to have plenty of boat and floatie options right on site, and the deck was perfect for mealtimes in the sunshine. Our teen and tween didn’t have much trouble navigating the ladder to the loft bedrooms, but it is something to note if there are less agile members of your party.

Recreation, rest and relaxation
We had a wonderful time during our week at the lovely Honey Bear Cottage. The cottage was beautifully decorated and well stocked with supplies to make our stay convenient and enjoyable. There was a great variety of watercraft available for our use as well. The property is well secluded to provide privacy and a restful, relaxing atmosphere.
