Summary: Lovely place right on the lake very private. We went to take in the Fall foliage. It is centrally located between Brandon and Middlebury making it an easy drive to Shelburne Farms and Museum and Burlington (Lake Champlain). The house has everything you need for a wonderful getaway to Vermont.
