Sunset views!

This property was very spacious inside and outside. The sunsets were amazing. The house was very clean with everything we needed and the communications with Josie was great. We highly recommend this place and look forward to going back.

Fantastic Stay

Beautiful place in a great location. Unbeatable view of Lake Champlain. We wanted to get away from our usual rat race in our home state for a few days and this was the perfect place. The communication with the owner when I had a question was great. Highly Recommended!

Lose yourself on the lake

This camp was perfect for our needs for a week on the lake. We had no difficulty settling in with our family of 4 and our golden retrievers in tow. The property is well maintained, the inside of the cabin was clean and inviting. It is roomy enough that we never felt crowded for space. Everything we needed to prepare meals or play down by the water was provided. The balcony was perfect for morning coffee, sunsets and yoga. The location made for a great base camp for the week, as we explored Burlington, Lake Placid and Montréal. The camp is in a very quiet locale between small towns. We found some great breakfast spots and a popular local creamee place close by. If you are looking to slow down and relax, this is a wonderful place to do it. We would absolutely return to this get-away on Lake Champlain.

What a view!

Fantastic expansive view of Lake Champlain feeling like we were on a ship sailing on the lake. Big house with no noise. Two houses alongside and none across the street.

Lovely Week in Lake Chanplain

My husband and I had a wonderful stay with our two pups at the cottage on Lake Champlain. We were able to let the dogs swim on the rocky beach, launch a boat with my in laws down the street, and walk to the market for bait and snacks. The house has a large kitchen, many beds for a number of people, and areas to spread out if needed. Josie is a wonderful host who is responsive and dedicated to making your stay wonderful. We would book again.

Lovely sunset views and kayaking!

We had a lovely stay at the cottage! The view was spectacular. The place was bigger than expected with plenty of room to spread out. My parents loved sitting out on the porch with the lake view. My boys loved kayaking and fishing right from the back yard. Beautiful biking on Isle la motte nearby and walking at Missiquoi wildlife refuge. The host provided everything that we needed for the stay to make us comfortable! Wonderful place for a quiet and peaceful get away! Would definitely recommend for both couples and families!

Perfect fit

The cottage is incredibly large indoors with a stunning view of the lake from the family room. Everything you needed for meal prep was in the kitchen. Beds were comfy. The cottage sits in a rural area with excellent easy hiking trails nearby. We took a quick jaunt to Quebec (15 minutes away) for lunch and spent a great day at the Shelburne Museum in Burlington. Just a reminder:"beaches" in this part of the world are rock, not sand.

Stay in Swanton

I was disappointed that there was no dock and the water was difficult to get to. My granddaughter was so looking forward to playing in the water. Plus all the outdoor equipment (canoe, etc) were in a garage under the house and difficult to get to. Not as advertised

Nice Getaway on the Lake

The property was great - just as described in the listing! The layout of the house was perfect for our party - the game room was far enough away from the bedrooms that people could go to bed undisturbed while others stayed up late. Unfortunately, the weather didn't cooperate with us to enjoy the lake that was only a few feet away, but it was a beautiful view and we were able to kayak at least once! Josie was easy to communicate with and the house had everything we needed (plates, cutlery, towels, blankets, etc.). I would recommend this house to others for sure!

Short visit to Vermont

We were in VT to find a place in Burlington to live, but used this cottage as home base. It is a cute, funky lake cottage that are not 5 star accommodations, but with views and lake access that are amazing. Josie was great to communicate with and answered all my questions right away. There was not one thing we lacked for. She thought of everything including a happy birthday banner and plates and napkins when I mentioned we would be celebrating a birthday. We were a bit thrown when we realized the area really didn't have any restaurants around...and the few pizza places closed at 5 except for one. It is extremely rural and peaceful.My adult kids loved the kayaks and my husband got to happily fish for hours after buying a license down at the market. I don't know if it was the fresh air or the super comfortable bed, but it was the best sleep I have had in a long time. If you want a peaceful place with incredible views, check this place out.

Biking, Kayaking, Birding and Fishing

If you enjoy any of these activities, check out this cottage near Missisquoi National Wildlife Refugee. Enjoy Lake Champlain with its s shimmers and sunset and so much to do at hand. Cottage is comfortable on a quiet street.

Vermont Trup

The stay was peaceful and quiet like we wanted! Big location within the home, unfortunately this Property had issues with big and Cobwebs all over the place inside and outside! They really need a cleaning of Webs ASAP. The beach area is over grown with weeds and bushes everywhere. The water was good for Kayaking, definitely don’t recommend you swim in the water ! Bring food prior to getting across the bring to Vermont!

Gorgeous view

My husband and I fell in love with the balcony view!! Very relaxing and peaceful. The house is quite spacious, which was good for our large dog to roam around. We luckily had a week of good weather and went kayaking almost every day. Everything was nice and clean and well stocked as well.

Life is certainly much better on the lake!

We stayed with 2 other families of our friends for the long weekend. We knew the area a bit before, so we booked quite confidently. The cottage is a typical lakeside cottage for this area, spacious, comfortable, with everything that you may need for the pleasant stay. Easy to access, easy to find everything. Beds are comfy, what is there is working fine, things are simple, but functional. The area is very quiet and relaxing. In a day we knew half of the village :) OK, this is an exaggeration, but still, the people around are very nice, the local grocery store, which is a minute of walking away, seems to be the local community center. You can ask the owner any question about the area, where to find things etc. Also she stacks pretty good selection of every-day things, so do not worry if you run out of eggs, bread etc. The beach is quite good, a bit small, but the water level now seems to be a bit higher than usually. The owner offers many water toys so you do not need to bring yours. I even saw the fishing rods there, but I had my stuff. And fishing there is indeed quite pleasant, especially at sunset. Sunset views from the balcony are just gorgeous. And, finally, can't say anything but good about the owner, Josie. It was very easy to communicate with, she was getting back promptly with the answers to any question I asked.
