Welcome to Hummingbird Cottage—a rare, move-in-ready and fully furnished lakefront retreat tucked along one of the most peaceful and private stretches of Lake St. Catherine. With just one neighbor, this is Vermont lake life at its most serene. Park beneath a canopy of trees, then follow a path over steppingstones across a pebbled creek and down the hillside to your private shoreline. It’s a fairytale setting—with a fairytale entrance—perfect for those who crave adventure and rustic living, while still seeking complete serenity. Inside, the home offers four distinct sleeping areas and comfortably sleeps up to 10 guests. It has been lovingly updated and thoughtfully curated with modern comfort in mind. Recent 2025 upgrades include a new hot water heater, new sunroom flooring, a new refrigerator, and Scandinavian furniture and lighting throughout—blending minimalist style with cozy, lakeside charm. The cabin features vaulted ceilings, a native stone fireplace, and expansive windows that bring the outdoors in. On the main floor, you’ll find two bedrooms, both with tranquil views. Upstairs, the sun-drenched lounge includes a daybed that converts into two twins. Just beyond it lies the “Crow’s Nest”—a loft-style retreat with two full-sized beds. Outdoor living is just as magical. A new set of Adirondack chairs and a large picnic table overlook the lake, and a private dock is perfect for swimming, paddling, or casting a line. Cannonball season starts now!
