Perfect cabin feel! Had a well stocked kitchen, sadly didn't stay long enough to fully enjoy the space. We definitely expect to come back again. The thoughtfulness towards our pup couldn't have been better.
We had a great time! The house is in a great location, beautiful views of the lake from a big back porch that looks out over the water. We used the kayaks extensively and were able to go across to some of the other islands.The house itself is comfortable, plenty of room and all the basic things you'd need for a vacation.This was an awesome central location for exploring the islands. We found good food, nice walking trails, and natural attractions.We're considering booking with the same house next year if it's available - it really was a great place to stay.
Pros- Amazing views and water access. Cons- Cabin is on an extremely busy 50 mph road with heavy truck traffic passing at all hours of the day and night heading to and from the Canadian border crossing just north of here in Alburgh. With the thin walls and metal cladding on the roadside porch of the cabin that acts like the skin on a drum at times, this can be disruptive to light sleepers and those looking for a quiet evenings rest.
It's a beautiful spot, a lot of spider webs on the chairs out front and around, otherwise house has a homey feel to it and beautiful view, the wind blows so hard that the float snap the Rope free.
Great memories for the owners Iâm sure - just not so much for guests
We got to the house and didnât realize that the door to enter was the slider facing the lake. We tried opening what looked like the entrance and almost pulled the door off. Found the slider unlocked that made us a bit unsettled. Pros: beautiful landscape and patio area Very very clean inside Comfortable beds Views of the lake spectacularCons: couldnât enjoy being outside much as all of the furniture was COVERED in spiders and webs - was looking so forward to spending time out on the gorgeous patio - but didnât want to be crawling with spiders Cottage is very old and filled with owners belongings - felt very much like we were intruding As stated by other ratings - the road. I didnât think Iâd mind too much but didnât realize how busy it really was. I was hoping for a peaceful, restful place to stay - it just wasnât for us. Iâm sure itâs the best place for owners and their family - just not for outside guests in my opinion
Everything was very nice. We were disappointed with the dock not being set up. The beds were very comfortable, the check-in process was easy and it was a beautiful view of the lake.
The views are absolutely breathtaking. Canât wait to come back. The island has so many hidden gem food spots. There were so many spider webs and big spiders around inside and outside, it could have used some extra love and cleaning. It gets a little loud when speeding cars go by. I wish the parking spot was a little bit larger/safer as well.
It was a cozy cottage right on lake Champlain. The views were spectacular. The lake is very clean. It has a nice dock. Supplied kayaks, paddle board, etc. Nice fire pit on the terrace right on the lake. Many places to go hiking. And dogs are welcome!
Access to the lake was key! If you are a light sleeper this property may not be for you as it is on a main road. It didnât bother me when I used a white noise machine. I would recommend this to smaller groups, no more than four, due to size.
This place is all about location. Itâs a gorgeous spot on Champlain, and the landscaping/patios make this place. It is pretty close to a busy road making it a little loud at night if sleeping on the porch.
