Amazing sunsets...great gathering spot for friends and family

Total relaxation; loved listening to the waves lapping on the shore. Wish the home had a deck and/or screened in porch...could get a bit buggy. However, not complaining!!

Great stay on Lake Champlain! Love that all the windows are screened so you can open them up and enjoy the sounds of the lake. Nice open main living area with great views. Our 2 year old loved pointing at the families of ducks and geese and watching the boats go by when we weren’t out and about. A nice bonus would have been an outdoor seating area, but we were out exploring so much we didn’t miss it too much. Overall a great stay!

This is a comfortable, well-laid-out place with a beautiful view of the lake. We had a wonderful time. Only caveats are that there really isn't good lake access (the shore is very rocky with lots of sharp mussels) and there are some minor maintenance issues (dirty windows, squealing dryer). We appreciated being able to have our dog with us. Wish there was an outside seating space with a fire pit or similar. S'mores over a Weber grill just aren't quite the same! Nice easy access to Burlington. Would probably stay again, although I might clean the windows myself rather than look at ten thousand dead spiders all week.

Location can’t get better and house is beautiful

The house is located right on the lake and was a beautiful view to eat breakfast to every morning. Owners were responsive with questions and messages about the property. Highly recommend this stay.

Very nice house with a great location right on the water. Amazing views from many rooms. 10 min drive to downtown Burlington. House has mini-split ACs but only the master bedroom has a mini-split in the room. The other bedrooms have ceiling fans. Only mentioning this as it was 90F and it got a bit warm in the bedrooms. Only thing that could have made a better stay would be some sort of canoe, kayak or other floating toys.

Great spot!

The house was wonderful! Everything was just beautiful and the home is centrally located to explore quite a bit of Vermont. The area is serene and peaceful. You couldn't ask for a quieter spot. The lake view is incredible. I would definitely stay here again if we ever get back to Vermont!

great home, lots of space, dog-friendly, beautiful lake view. no outdoor amenities (dock, canoe, etc are not included), but wading in the water was pleasant. nice walkable neighborhood, and convenient location to get to restaurants & visit colleges. A bit dusty, but overall a nice stay.
