Cabin vacation rentals in Island Pond, Brighton

The HideBehind was the perfect weekend getaway! We wanted something peaceful and private close to other parts of Vermont we wanted to visit. Everything about the cabin was perfect, it was clean, had helpful instructions and recommendations, and Scott and his wife were very friendly and welcoming. The hot tub and electric fire were easy to use and made our stay 100% more enjoyable. This is a place I would definitely recommend, and I myself would come back again!

We had a wonderful vacation. The cabin is a true gem in the North East Kingdom. Upon entering the house, fresh flowers decorated the rooms and we found a basket of snacks for us and our dog. Leslie and Matt’s passion for decorating made the house cozy and inviting. The grounds were beautiful. We enjoyed walking through the garden, relaxing on the deck, and walking to the river. The food shopping service Leslie and Matt offer is an added bonus. The cabin is also in a perfect location. There are many great hikes and restaurants close by. The North East Kingdom truly delivered with its scenic woods, spectacular summit views, and gorgeous waterfalls. Plus every meal was amazing. Thank you for your hospitality and making our vacation this year a memorable one! You both were responsive, friendly, and such a help before and during our stay. This vacation was exactly what we hoped for: a relaxing retreat among the trees. I wish we lived closer because I’d be back every year.

My stay is hard to review. Was looking so forward to this weekend getaway but was battle tested with sickness and terrible weather. Nothing bad to say about the listing just bad timing making it hard to fully enjoy. I would highly recommend this stay otherwise as it was definitely capable of providing what I had wanted. Thanks Nancy

We had a lovely and relaxing stay. The cabin and surrounding property are beautiful, and Evangelyn was a wonderful host. If you’re looking for a peaceful, “home away from home” getaway, this is just the place.

My husband and I had a very nice and peaceful stay. We are so happy we got to spend the weekend connecting, exploring and definitely relaxing in the hot tub!

We absolutely loved our stay in this cabin! The hosts were very clear with instructions, offered some great ideas for local spots to check out. The cabin was clean and lovely! Highly recommend!! We hope to come back again soon!

We had a very peaceful and private stay at this cabin. The hot tub was great for cooling off after long work weeks. The cabin was very cozy and had home-like feel. It was within driving distance to grocery shops and it is uniquely positioned in the midst of several nice spots. we also got visited by a cute cottontail rabbit. favorite part: privacy feel of the back yard and hot tub. the bathroom was a little small but it is fit for purpose.

We loved Rebecca and Josh's place! The outdoor surroundings were serene and we loved how the place felt tucked away. We were weren't there long enough to explore any trails but we want to come back! There were many thoughtful touches to the place, and fire starters/fire wood provided for us. The hot tub was very relaxing! The inside of the house was decorated very artsy and tastefully! Definitely would recommend :)

We absolutely adored our stay at the cabin. It is idyllic inside and out! It was amazing to come home to after a day of exploring. The bed was super comfortable and the highlight for us was watching VHS on the TV with snacks. It is so well equipped and cosy, also enjoyed a lovely bath in the claw foot tub. Just perfect for a rustic, cosy stay in nature. A highlight for me was stepping outside at night and listening to (I assume they were) frogs!! They were so loud and it was incredible to hear them, the trees were also surrounded by fireflies (I’d never seen them before!) and I’ll always remember that perfect moment of peace. Thank you for making our 10 year anniversary so memorable with such a lovely place to stay, if you’re thinking of it for a special occasion or just as a base to explore this adorable region of Vermont, look no further :) thank you!

Cecile was a great host with a beautiful, clean, well appointed cabin in the lovely Northeast Kingdom. We will definitely have guests stay here again when folks come for a visit- Cheers-

We enjoyed staying in this cabin! Very well kept & comfortable, the wood stove was awesome. Great location, would recommend to anyone looking for a nice nature-focused escape

My boyfriend and I stayed at the Owl's Head Cabin for a long weekend skiing at Jay. The cabin is small and cozy, very warm, and the right size for two people for a weekend. In addition to the main bed, there's a loft with a sleeping area, but you'd have to be very small to get into it and enjoy it; I'd guess the cabin would be a bit small for a couple with children but maybe if you're out all day it'd be okay. Cooking appliances worked well. The one note of caution is that you have to drive on a somewhat rough, uphill dirt road for at least 3 or 4 miles to reach the cabin. We fortunately did not have to drive during a time when there was actively snow falling on the road, but the 2wd sedan we rented definitely would not have made it in those conditions; it was a little harrowing even with just the slush and ruts left after plowing. So be careful if your trip coincides with nastier weather! Jason was very communicative and left clear instructions. Overall, we had a lovely stay.

We loved this sweet cabin overlooking Curtis Pond. Great screened in porch, well-stocked kitchen, games, barbecue and fire pit. A great spot to relax and take advantage of VT summer.

Great little cabin for a weekend stay for my wife and I and our dog. Easy access to town for necessities and close to several local breweries. Would definitely stay here again.

Claudia's place was EXACTLY what we were looking for on our VT getaway. Close to Stowe and Morristown, yet outside the madness of being in town. Claudia was the perfect host......accommodative, Fast response to messages, friendly and helpful. Despite other cabins on the property, this place was very private. Mr Charlie loved the fenced in yard to run loose in and the deck was perfect for sitting and relaxing. Would definitely consider this space again on our next trip to VT.

We have stayed at Pioneer cabin several times now- and it is peaceful and welcoming in each season and with every visit! The kitchen has everything you could want for cooking, and the setting is serene. Our teen sons made memories grilling out, challenging each other to a dip in the chold May lake, and huddling around the firepit telling stories and laughing. My husband and I sat on the porch listening to the loons and soaking up the peace in the mornings. The beds were comfortable, and even on the chilly rainy Saturday the heat and electric fireplace kept it a cozy space to curl up with a good book. Our family is already eyeing the calendar to plan our next visit. Thank you for giving us the joy that Pioneer cabin provides with every trip. We can’t wait to come back!

Great place and location. Very private and scenic.

Loved our stay, not too far from a few towns. Quiet and quaint, which was an amazing break from our busy lives.

I liked "The Hamblett" so much I went back for another week. It is so quiet yet close to town and many points of interest. I had the pleasure of talking to Cindy and she was wonderful. I'm sure I will be back. Probably sooner than later.

A magical place. Geese migrating every morning and evening, exploring the pond in their rowboat, turtles, great blue heron, king fisher, frogs, great hikes through the woods, so many mushrooms, mosses, pines, the deck, screened-in porch, great bed, well stocked kitchen - we loved it all. Thank you!

Love this place. Besides a brief issue with having the wrong door code when we first arrived, which was fixed quickly, this cabin and our weeklong stay were utterly perfect. The cabin itself is lovely, very comfortable, and very functional as a home base for exploring or a place to work remotely from. The best and most unique feature is that it is literally right on the river. Nothing like looking out back and just having a perfect postcard view. We even had an early summer weather preview and took a dip! All in all, great location, very easy check in and out, and awesome full featured cabin. Will look to stay again next time we’re in town.

The place was cozy, clean, and well set up. Its on a beautiful property, well back back from the road. Her clear and reasonable instructions made it easy to relax. She highlighted a great restaurant 3 minutes away.

Wonderful cabin, my friend and I had such a relaxing time here. Sharon added a lot of thoughtful touches and both the interiors and the view were even more stunning than the pictures - despite the rainy weather!

Lee's cabin provided a great escape from the busyness of life. The surroundings were beautiful and the waterfall was impressive! We enjoyed a walk around the neighborhood, exploring the rivers, covered bridges, and cute houses with barn quilts. In town, we enjoyed getting coffee and pastries at Cafe Oma (inside the bikeshop!) and had some amazing nachos at the Snowshoe Lodge and Pub. Stowe is a beautiful easy drive from the cabin and has lots to explore! Lunch at the Von Trappe family lodge was a highlight. The cabin itself feels private even though it shares a yard with Lee. It was cozy and comfortable, and the kitchen was convenient when we wanted to stay in. The outdoor fireplace was the perfect way to spend our last evening there. Through it all, Lee was very helpful and responsive -- and we had the sense that Lee could (and would) provide whatever was needed to ensure an enjoyable stay. This is a perfect place if you just need to get away from it all and enjoy the beauty of VT!
