Best View on Malletts Bay

The ultimate in privacy on your own peninsula on Lake Champlain. Renovated Mid-Century Modern lake house (called the "Duck Blind") with all of the amenities for your family's Vermont vacation. The house if perfectly set up for two sets of adults in the upper floor bedrooms and kids in the downstairs bunk room.

Upstairs you will find, in addition to the two bedrooms, one full and one half bath, a chefs kitchen that opens up to a screened-in porch through three retractible glass doors with views of the boat dock, perfect for indoor/outdoor living. There's, a custom vermonter-made dining table that seats 10 comfortably, and a living area that opens onto the enormous deck with endless views of Malletts Bay and Lake Champlain. Downstairs, is a recreation area with a pool table, fireplace and couches for watching DVDs on the flatscreen TV, or playing board games on the large ottoman. The bunk room on the lower level sleeps 6.

Summer: Bring your boat as the property includes a 50' dock (with mooring whips for a boat) located in a private cove. Also included are 2 paddle boards, 4 kayaks and a canoe. Air conditioning units, in addition to the ceiling fans in the upstair bedrooms and living rooms as well as the multiple sliding glass doors will keep your group cool in the summer heat. Bring your fishing poles as our peninsula offers multiple spots for casting.

Fall: located on 7 private acres with endless views of the Lake Champlain and front row seat to the spectacular colors of the changing leaves and stunning sunsets. The paddle boards, kayaks and canoe are still accessible through mid-October although the lake starts to get chilly. The Causeway in Colchester (25 mins) is an amazing bike/hike option and multiple epic hikes are within an hour on Mount Mansfield.

Winter: when Malletts Bay freezes over there is ice skating, snow shoeing and cross country skiing just out your front door. Several major Vermont ski resorts are located within 80 minutes of the house including Smugglers Notch (50 mins); Mad River Glen (66 mins); Stowe (68 mins); Sugarbush (75 mins); and Jay Peak (80 mins). Three-zone heating and two fireplaces will keep your group cozy when it's cold outside.

Other amenities include access to an outdoor Basketball Court, located a short walk from the house, close proximity to Niquette State Park (5 mins driving) with miles of hiking trails, as well as nearby Burlington (20 mins) with its many restaurants and shops. Burlington Airport is easily accessible (20 mins) and Montreal is also a short drive (90 minutes).
