Beachfront holiday rental in Caledonia County

I wanted to write a thorough review as we were the lucky first renters of Camp Bushwood! The "camp" itself is way better than any glamping I've ever done! It's really well done in knotty pine and has some lovely extra touches. Chris & Melissa thought of everything right down to fresh-picked wildflowers and some local beer in the fridge. The kitchen is small, but has everything you need down to a dishwasher, a cast iron waffle press, blender, and a cupcake pan! Lots of cookware and utensils and dinnerware. We were a group of 7, so having the dishwasher was fantastic. There's even a very cool popcorn maker for the fire pit (Tip: spread soap on the bottom of the pot, it won't blacken from the fire). There is one bedroom with a full bed downstairs and a full bathroom that also houses the washer/dryer. Upstairs is a full bath off the bunk room and you walk through the bunk room to get to the other bedroom with the queen bed. This room does have a sliding barn door to separate them, but it has open windows in it, so be aware it's not a private master bedroom. We're a family of five and stayed upstairs with our kids and we gave my in-laws the room downstairs. Also, there's a treasure chest full of board games upstairs. The camp is tucked away and makes for a perfect spot to relax and chill. Be prepared that there are several miles of dirt road to get to camp, so it is not a quick in/out spot. But, once you get in, you'll not want to leave! The lake is very close to the house. There is a small grassy area behind the house going to the lake. They have a hook up for a dog run, which our dog Timber loved to just sit in the grass and sniff the breeze, guarding us from pesky chipmunks. There were 4 kayaks and a peddle boat stowed under the house, along with corn hole and some other games. Our kids loved paddling around the lake! The water was clear and warm and we saw lots of loons! At night, the fire pit is right on the water and we enjoyed sitting out as the sun set. Chris & Melissa were very responsive to any questions we had and I would definitely recommend their "camp" if you're looking for a place to get away from it all. This is a great spot to do just that!

We had a wonderful time staying in the house. We spent a week there - 10 people including 3 kids. We really enjoyed the almost private lake, kayaks, the books and games. The kitchen is well equipped with everything needed. It is all very quiet and relaxing. We appreciated very much that Claire had let us stay late on the checkout day.

beautiful property. very private. our dog really enjoyed. the patio had swings with the river view it was gorgeous.

The lake house was everything we were looking for. There were plenty of towels, linens, kitchen supplies, etc to make staying for a week less of a hassle. we loved the lake and the screened in porch! If you're not afraid of some spiders (can't be helped, you're in nature!) and can make do with a TINY shower, then this place is definitely worth it.

Thank-you Jordan! I had a wonderful stay. I appreciate the clear and prompt communication and the boat house bed was very comfortable. Everything was amazing! Especially the stars & loons!

Miriam's place was just the getaway we needed. The cottage has everything necessary to enjoy our stay, cooking supplies, utensils, and supplies in general. The lake was amazing and serene, SUPs were put to good use and the swimming proved to be quite refreshing. Cottage was cozy and comfortable. We will definitely go back if we find ourselves in the same neck of the woods.

We had an awesome stay at this Vermont house. The lake is right there with a private dock, and the view from the deck made for some great coffee mornings. The hot tub was perfect—especially on the rainy days—and the kitchen had everything we needed to cook without hauling a bunch of extras. The location was ideal, close to farms, creemees, and a couple solid co-ops. The host was quick to respond and easy to communicate with. We also appreciated the clearly marked bins for recycling and compost—nice to see a place that takes extra effort to be sustainable. Would definitely come back.

Biff's cabin was a great place to spend the weekend! Hancock pond is beautiful and peaceful and the cabin feels extremely remote despite being minutes away from the restaurants and stores in nearby Island Pond. The cabin has everything you need and Biff's instructions were clear and easy to follow. There is excellent hiking and mountain biking nearby as well.

We were so pleased with our stay here. It had it all! We were able to relax and completely unwind. The home is exactly as described and so much more. Our host was absolutely amazing. Everything was communicated and Rod and Lulu went above and beyond to make our stay special. This will be our first choice in Vermont to stay again.

We stayed here on a snowmobile trip. House is right off the VAST system. Parker Pie is less than 1 mile away by sled and has good food and trail side gas. Place was exactly what we needed; private cabin that could sleep a group of guys after a long day riding.

Beautiful home on a peaceful lake. We loved taking the paddle boards out and the view of the lake from inside the home. We would definitely stay again.

Crystal lake is an astounding place, and Kristine is an incredible host. Her beautiful lake house was just as pictured, we had a wonderful time both at Crystal lake and visiting/hiking at Lake Willoughby. We had the great luck of crisp beautiful late fall weather, (just right!), and had such fun. Thanks Kristine and family for a lovely stay! We would definitely love to come back!
