Charming Retreats in Vergennes and Salisbury on Fern Lake
Camp run amuck
Quiet newly renovated lakefront camp on Fern Lake's North End - no motorboat noise, just peaceful fishing and kayaking. Two cozy bedrooms plus a 4-season porch with a pullout sofa, tiled walk-in shower, and a fully stocked kitchen. Kayaks, and a fishing boat are available on-site. Fire pit for easy evenings -15 minutes from Middlebury. Hosts may occasionally stay in a fully separate room above the garage — your indoor and outdoor space remains entirely your own. A quiet Vermont lake escape.
Good to know
One camp, two sides: Lakeside — The guest side of the cottage consists of the chef's kitchen, one bathroom, 2 bedrooms, a 4-season porch with a pullout sofa, deck and yard, sleeping up to 6 guests comfortably. Your guest side is completely private — no shared spaces, no shared entry. Roadside — Your hosts sometimes stay in a fully separate owner's suite on the upper side of the cottage, with its own private entrance. Interaction with us is entirely optional. Many guests enjoy their stay without crossing paths with us at all, while others love having us nearby for a fire or a local recommendation. You set the tone. Yard games, a small fishing boat with oars, kayaks, and life jackets are all on-site. Firewood is available for purchase on-site — just let us know if you'd like some for the fire pit. Wi-Fi and a Smart TV are available for you to use with your own streaming accounts (we don't have cable). Towels, linens, and bedding are clean and fresh, and filtered water and ice come straight from the fridge. We're in Addison County lake country — quiet, wooded, and off the beaten path, with Branbury State Park and Lake Dunmore just up the road for swimming and hiking, and the Moosalamoo Recreation Area nearby for trails. Nearby is Kampersville Deli for pizza and ice cream, and our favorite, Paddlers Pub. Neshobe Golf Club is also close by. 15 minutes from Middlebury, 40 minutes to Rutland, about an hour to most ski resorts — a relaxing getaway no matter the season. We're in the woods, so don't forget your bug spray. Room for 2 cars — please park only in the driveway. Only guests on the reservation are allowed on the property at any time.

Neighborhood
Tucked on the quiet North End of Fern Lake in Salisbury, Vermont, this is Addison County lake country — tranquil, wooded, and away from crowds. Fern Lake sits right alongside larger Lake Dunmore, and nearby Branbury State Park offers a sandy beach, hiking trails, and access to Lake Dunmore's 1,037 acres for boating and swimming. Outdoor lovers can hike the Falls of Lana Trail or head into the Moosalamoo National Recreation Area within the Green Mountain National Forest for miles of trails and views. It's just 15 minutes to Middlebury for shops, restaurants, and Middlebury College, about 40 minutes to Rutland, and roughly an hour to most area ski resorts. Nearby favorites include Kampersville Deli for pizza and ice cream and Paddlers Pub for a casual bite
