About this home

A true Icon of Willoughby, Mountain Lake Cottages has been a destination since the early 40s. 10 cabins, popular from May to October. 328’ deep, 5 miles long surrounded by mountains. Lake Trout, Bald Eagles, and Wilderness. 7,682 acres of State Forest. Hiking, boating, & trophy fishing. Magnificent views from each of the cabin porches. Each cabin has 2 BR, stone fireplace, kitchen & living room. 322’ of private shoreline offers plenty of dock space & moorings for boaters. Tennis, basketball, squash court, and a concrete ping-pong table. Something for every family to enjoy, and plenty of reading nooks too. This is a turnkey operation, well run, and impeccably maintained. Pride of ownership is obvious. All furniture, fixtures, client lists, business name, website, and deep history are included in the sale. As the owner, you will love your own private year-round log home, beautifully laid out, complete with 2-bedrooms and a huge deck to watch the sunset. The area is quiet in the winter, but with a little winterization on the cabins one could easily offer stays for snowmobilers, skiers, fat-tire mountain bikers, & ice fisherman, adding another income stream to the location’s profitability. Easy access from NY, Boston & Montreal. Extensive information packet is available with video tours for these Covid times. If you love people and the outdoors and are looking for a lifestyle change in pristine Northern Vermont, you have found the perfect place and a rare opportunity.
