About
Crystal Lake State Park's single cottage, with its own front porch right on the waterfront - a canoe is included. It's the park's only overnight product; there's no campground here. A furnished multi-room cottage with one or two beds plus one or more bunk beds, a sleeper couch or futon, and bureaus (bring your own linens, blankets, and towels). It has electricity and heat, a full indoor kitchen (fridge, stove, freezer, a toaster or toaster oven, microwave, coffee maker, cookware, and a sink), and an indoor bathroom with a toilet and shower. It isn't wheelchair accessible.
Fees
$125/night or $875/week. A $100 refundable cleaning deposit is required. A one-week, Saturday-to-Saturday minimum stay applies from June 15 through Labor Day; a 3-night minimum applies the rest of the season. Pets aren't allowed in or at the cottage, per Vermont FPR's statewide cottage policy.
The 2026 season runs May 22 - September 6, notably shorter than most other Vermont cottage/cabin parks, with no winter access.
