- Description: Welcome to summer on Lake Bomoseen! Set along the western shore with beautiful views across the water toward Neshobe Island, this seasonal two-bedroom, one-bath cottage is ready for long lake days, quiet mornings, and everything in between. Owned and loved by the same family for approximately 40 years, this is the kind of special lake property where generations gather, traditions take shape, and summer memories are made. Step outside and the lake is truly yours to enjoy, with private direct water access and your own dock providing an easy home base for boating, swimming, fishing, and soaking up the Vermont summer. Motorboats are welcome, so bring the boat and make the most of life on the water! The cottage offers a relaxed, comfortable interior, but the real magic is in the outdoor living spaces. A huge screened-in porch creates the ideal spot for morning coffee, family dinners, card games, and evenings spent listening to the sounds of the lake without worrying about the bugs. A large separate deck provides even more room to gather, grill, and enjoy the view. Recent updates include upgraded electrical with 200-amp service and a newer mini-split to keep the cottage comfortable during the hottest summer days. When not enjoyed personally, the property has also performed well as a short-term rental, offering an appealing opportunity for buyers looking to offset ownership costs or continue its rental history. Whether you're pulling away from your private dock for a day on the boat, jumping in for an afternoon swim, or settling onto the screened porch as the sun goes down, 976 Avalon Beach Road offers the kind of simple, memorable lake living that keeps generations coming back summer after summer.
