Lake House Rentals in Vermont
Long known for its rugged mountains and pastoral countryside, Vermont is also home to dozens of deep, clear lakes hosting hundreds of lakeside communities that offer lake house rentals of all styles and sizes. Many of the state's lakes are located north of the Green Mountains in the wild Northeast Kingdom, but some of its most desirable lake house rentals can be found near the ski resorts in south-central Vermont. Of course, Vermont's largest lake by far is Lake Champlain, a deep glacial lake featuring dozens of fjords that makes up the state's border with New York.
Vermont's mountainous terrain is the product of successive waves of glaciation spanning millions of years. Many of its lakes occupy the deep valleys between uplifted mountain ranges, cut off from the outside world and thus deeper and purer than most other northeastern bodies of fresh water. Lake Champlain, straddling two states and hosting dozens of towns and numerous lake house rentals along its shores, is widely recognized as one of New England's most scenic bodies of water.
Two of the state's deepest lakes are Willoughby Lake and Lake Mephremagog, both of which are surrounded by hiking and biking trails and offer ample recreational opportunities including powerboating, parasailing, and hunting in season. Although their depth--over 300 feet at some points--causes them to freeze later than other Vermont lakes, both bodies of water are playgrounds for cross-country skiers, snowshoers and ice-fishers once winter comes. The lake house rentals found along the shores of these lakes range from modest bungalows to imposing mansions, all offered at affordable weekly or monthly rates.
Vermont's smaller lakes attract vacationers looking to get away from the region's big cities as well. During the summer, Lake Bomoseen becomes a boater's paradise as boaters power out onto the lake to fish for the bass, perch and trout that populate its waters. Echo Lake, in the Northeast Kingdom, attracts birdwatchers and hunters in the late fall as the leaves drop and seasonal migrations kick into gear.
Regardless of which lake the state's vacationers choose, Vermont lake house rentals offer several advantages over other lodging options. Renting a lake house for a week (or longer) is cheaper than booking a room at a bed and breakfast, hotel or local resort. Lake houses also offer more space and privacy for renters: Vermont's lake house owners are friendly individuals rather than faceless management companies, and they allow renters the full use of their property with few restrictions.
Best of all, Vermont lake house rentals are a great opportunity for ambitious vacationers to stake their claim on the beautiful Green Mountain State. Many of the region's lake house rental owners began as seasonal visitors who fell in love with Vermont and decided to purchase property along one of its clear blue shores. With more potential renters arriving each year, there's never been more opportunity for lake house renters and owners in Vermont!
