Just wrapped up our second stay at the cottage. We visited for the first time last summer and wanted to come back again this year. And just like last year, we didn't want to leave! Kevin, Joanne, and Katherine are always so kind and welcoming and we look forward to coming back again next summer! -Matt, Rose, Molly (7), Dougie (5), and Joey (3).

We had a wonderful stay! Thanks so much!

Great, wonderful people, everything you need is there. Beautiful

This warm and welcoming cottage was set in a remote area surround by a wooded area and a short walking distance to the tranquil waters. The house was exactly as expected - clean, quaint, accommodating and cozy. Kevin, Joanie and Katherine were so kind and returned inquiries right away. Highly recommend!

I have read about Northeastern “camps” but this was my first experience. Rustic but comfy and impossibly Americana, this camp was a delightful surprise. The beds were comfortable, the kitchen well stocked (thanks for the s’mores fixings), plenty of linens and a nice Lounge area with TV if desired. We were in town for a family event wedding which required a lot of travel. Unwinding at the camp meant cornhole competitions, campfires and relaxing in the autumn sunshine. Thank you so much for sharing your piece of heaven with us.

This was beautiful. Everything was more than we expected.

We spent the week at The Pines and didn't want to leave. We could of stayed another week, easy! The McGinns were fantastic hosts and their cozy, comfortable camp was very well stocked with all the amenities. Some of the highlights for our young family were 1) exploring the waterfall at nearby Mill River 2) beach access on Lake Champlain for swimming and sunsets 3) the beautiful deck overlooking the expansive yard and softball field 4) roasting s'mores in the fire pit and 5) the water park and world class frisbee golf only 45 min away at Smugglers Notch Resort in Jeffersonville, VT. We hope to be back next summer! -Matt, Rose, Molly (6), Dougie (4), and Joey (2).

In Vermont they call it a “camp.” Well, hands down this is the most comfortable “camp” we’ve ever stayed in. We arrived on a hot 90 degree day and the “camp,” with its air conditioning, was a welcome respite from the heat. After the first day, the heat broke and we used the 3 ceiling fans and opened all the windows, which let a beautiful breeze flow through. We spent much of our time on the “L” shaped deck. It’s complete with a view of the lake between other cottages, a wonderful grill and comfortable seating, including table and chairs for eating outdoors. The tall pine trees provide shelter and just the right amounts of sun and shade can be found on the deck at all times. The cottage is perfectly appointed, spotlessly clean, and meticulously maintained. You can’t help but get swept up in enjoying the basic joys of summer and feel the generations of love left in this cottage by its owners. It made for the perfect backdrop to celebrate our grand-daughter’s 5th birthday and it was a great place to reconnect with our family, barbecue, play home-run wiffle ball derby in the field, enjoy games at the oak table at night, sit around the fire and roast marshmallows, or simply read a book. We also took a ferry ride to Burton’s Island and enjoyed the St. Albans rail trail on our bike (highly recommended). Don’t over pack, as everything you could possibly need is there. There is a very large grassy field in the backyard that belongs to the community, and was a great place for our grandkids to play and for our family to enjoy some games. And as peaceful a place as it is to get away from it all, if you are looking for something to do, St. Albans and the magic of Lake Champlain, and all it has to offer, are nearby.
