About this House
Rabbit Island is a privately owned 3.81 acre island with long lake views on beautiful Lake Bomoseen in South Central Vermont/Rutland County. The buildings consist of the original Warren Cottage with 5 bedrooms, a dining room and a cozy library/living room with a wood stove which opens to the enormous wrap around screened in porch. The newer Tower section which is heated and insulated has the kitchen also open to the screen porch on the main level, a cozy den with fireplace and bathroom on the second level and a bedroom on the top floor with peekaboo views through the pine trees to the lake below and beyond plus a full wrap around deck. The third living space is the guest cottage aka Sears Kit House with an open floor plan and another spacious screen porch overlooking the lake towards the east shore. Various sheds, beautiful rock outcroppings, vistas and trails throughout the island make this the ultimate island escape. A wonderful step back to a simpler time.
