Loved it! Never before thought of staying on the west coast of New England at St. Albans. It was so great! Perfect for us.

Great location, beautiful setting and the home had everything we needed. It was great to still have outside seating areas in October!!

We had a wonderful vacation. The weather was perfect, and we got to go hiking, visit family, have family visit with us, cook smores, go kayaking, get to Woods and Burton Island. It was a great week!

This lakefront cottage exceeded our expectations for our long weekend stay in Vermont. Spacious two bedroom with a large loft where multiple people can sleep comfortably. Fully stocked and furnished kitchen provided breakfast and several dinners at the kitchen island table or patio set located on the large wrap around deck. Cottage is very well equipped and with three adults provided more than enough space. Lake Champlain view from the front steps and just a few steps out onto the grass and you can enjoy the beautiful lake views. The communications with HomeAway and the Owner were timely and had no issues. Definitely would recommend this cottage and I will certainly consider it for future trips to Lake Champlain.

Beautiful cabin right on the lake. Decorated with cozy beach like colors. Beds and couch are comfortable and warm. We stayed in mid June. The use of the kayaks (two single) was a treat. My son (23) kayaked over to the island directly across from our cabin and went on a nature hike. The small loading doc with ladder offered a peaceful retreat for meditation and getting in and out of the water to swim. The kitchen is well stocked with pots and pans along with ” beachy”fun plates and more than enough utensils for a big group. Bring or pick up Kureg cups for the coffee maker. There are bugs (quite a few) in the evening but didn’t bother me or my son. No mosquitoes. The tap water is well water so we used bottle water for brushing teeth and cooking. She has a water cooler that you can use instead that you need to change out at end of stay at the local store. There is a small convenience store about 5 to 7 min away in the car that has gas, coffee and an ice cream stand. My husband, son and family loved the ice cream there and the prices. A big name grocery store and Walmart are less than 20 min away in St. Albans. You take lake rd to Kellog then Jeuitt. The folks at the convenience store and in the area are friendly. Map out the cabin and have written directions just in case as we lost gps a few times in that area. The house has good WiFi and satellite. The iPhones that my son and husband have worked great at the house. I have an Android thru a smaller carrier and it was hit or miss for me. Be prepared for a smell when you turn on the hot water faucets and the shower. It’s only when you run the hot and is supposed to clear up, we had to adjust down and over the shower head to make sure the water wouldn’t get on the floor. The views of this place are amazing way worth the stay. The folks are friendly in VT. If you are prepared for comfortable rustic charm..you’ll love this place. My son loved having the loft to himself and looking out the unique front windows. You’ll have everything you need. A great host. They came over and checked on us to make sure we had all that we needed. We’d definitely come back. A few suggestions for the host would be to have driving directions or address to grocery store, driving instruction to the cabin sent out via welcome email before the stay. My family that are local come out before our stay and drove us over. There are a lot of keep out signs, private rd signs etc so being prepared for that would be helpful. Many thanks

We loved our stay in the Lake House. Neatly cleaned and looked after, with a well-equipped kitchen. Lovely comfortable beds in cozy furnished bedrooms. We took good advantage of the gas barbecue and the 2 canoes. The view over the lake was beautiful, especially when the sun sets. Thank you very much for hiring your cottage.

We booked a weekend at this lakeside cabin for our family that includes four small children (2 months- 8 years old). Inside was exactly as pictured- the kids loved the sleeping loft and the bunkbeds. But the photos don't do the outside justice! This cottage offers an obstructed view of Lake Champlain with the Adirondack Mountains distantly in the background, looking west. Which means SPECTACULAR sunsets viewed from either of the two screened sliding glass doors from the living room or kitchen, deck overlooking lake, Adirondack chairs in the yard or from the private dock right on the lake. Besides the two kayaks that come with the property, my husband and boys enjoyed fishing from the dock and skipping rocks from the shore. Tori, the owner was very nice, accessible, but also left us alone to enjoy ourselves. The cabin was neat and tidy and the provided linens and towels were so soft and smelled fantastic. Also- I live on a river and battle the bugs and spiders all year long, so I was pleasantly surprised by the lack of bugs. It was clear the house is well taken care of. The cabin is on a somewhat secluded part of the lake- it is set back a ways from town on private gravel roads. The lots are somewhat narrow, but we found the neighbors to be nice and quiet. The cabin next to ours looks like it hasn't been visited in a few season. Bottom line: would love to return. This would be perfect for a romantic getaway (think: a cold bottle form a local winery, watching the sunset from a private dock, walking hand in hand down a private road along the lake) OR a family vacation for those who enjoy slowing down, boating, fishing, grilling, playing board games, drinking beers, etc. OR for athletic types who value kayaking, jogging and swimming. OR all of the above!
