A calming and delightful stay located on Lake Carmi in Franklin, VT. Perfectly nestled in the trees with private lake access. Studies shows that being near a body of water promotes mental health and happiness. So come relax in spacious fenced-in, water- facing yard, while listening to the birds chirping and waves crashing into the rocks. Then enjoy a cold beverage while telling jokes around the fire pit with friends and family to close out the night. Equipped with plenty of activities to do while staying at the property or venture off to into bordering towns to experience hiking/biking trails, shopping, delectable restaurants, breweries and more- this place can give you the peaceful water escape you desire or help create ever lasting memories with family and friends. P.S we are now opening our booking dates for the fall & winter. Take in the colors of the reds, oranges and yellow leaves during VT's most beloved season or catch yourself a few fish in the cold! Important information before booking: Like most bodies of water locally, we do periodically have algae blooms. There is no way to control or predict them. We are more than willing to suggest clean bodies of water to enjoy close by if that problem arises during your stay. This is a natural occurrence and we will not give refunds if this occurs. The area is still beautiful and has plenty of options for fun and adventures otherwise. ## Property amenities ### Internet - Available in the cottage: Free WiFi ### Parking and transport - Car recommended - Onsite parking options include a garage ### Kitchen - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Hob - Kitchen island - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 2 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided - Sofa bed ### Bathroom - 1 bathroom - Shower - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Living room - Separate dining area - Wood stove ### Entertainment - Books - Games - Smart TV ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill - Fenced yard - Firepit - Garden - Patio ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - Pet friendly ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoke-free property ### Services and conveniences - Limited housekeeping - Phone ### Location highlights - Near a hospital - On a lake - On the waterfront ### Things to do - Kayak - Water sports equipment - Birdwatching nearby - Jet skiing nearby - Kayaking nearby - Motor boating nearby - Mountain biking nearby - Water skiing nearby - Water tubing nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - First aid kit - Fire extinguisher ### General - Garden - Unit size: 1,100 square feet ## Similar properties ![House (4 Bedrooms) | Interior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/95000000/94480000/94470900/94470851/aaeaf4e2.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Upscale Montgomery Cabin, Near Jay Peak Resort!

Our stay at Lakin it Easy was so awesome, fun and relaxing. We enjoyed so much from playing board games, fires around the fire pit, roasting hot dogs and we went for a ride in the peddle boat. The house was extremely clean! One of the cleanest places we have ever stayed. It was the perfect size my husband, myself and our dogs. Speaking of our dogs, they loved jumping off the dock and swimming in the lake and the fact that the yard was fenced in was a bonus. We look forward to renting this home again in the future. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 3 nights in May 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### John G. 7 Nov 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy ##### John G.
