The cottage is in a great location with beautiful sunsets from the living room. The cottage is small but was very spacious for 4 adults with plenty of seating areas. The owner keeps the property in pristine condition and supplies everything you could possibly need. She was available by phone and made sure we had everything we needed but was not intrusive. It was too cold to swim but the rocky beach looked very inviting. We all loved the property and could have stayed for weeks. My husband and I are already planning to return. Rouses Point is 10 minutes away and has plenty of restaurants and a pharmacy as well as a public boat launch. Other convenient boat launches are Great Chazy River (10 minutes away) and Point au Roche (about 25 minutes away but gives you quick access to the Gut for fishing). I cannot think of anything negative about this property.

My family and I had a great week at west winds cottage - the hosts thought of everything! It was exceptionally clean inside and beautiful outside. We enjoyed the kayaks and watching sunsets on the lake, and using the fire pit for s’mores. Close enough for short trips to Plattsburgh, saint albans and Burlington - if you need a break from the lake. Lots of wineries in the area too! We loved this spot and hope to come back next year.

My (almost) month long stay at West Winds Cottage was my first VRBO experience. My first impressions included how spacious the cottage felt, the overall tidiness and cleanliness, how bright it was with so many windows (especially those facing the lake), and how well-stocked everything was - from spices to dishes and cookware to kayaks and life preservers and everything in between! During the stay, Pam and Russ were wonderful - not intrusive, but communicative and quickly responsive to any inquiry. By the end of my stay, their genuine warmth made them feel like extended family. The sunsets were the icing on the cake!

We have stayed here 3 times. Pam and Russ are excellent hosts. The house/location provides the perfect recipe for a great location. Excellent fishing off the dock or on the kayak. Screened gazebo is definitely a plus. Sunsets are beautiful. The cove that the property is on provides some shelter when the lake water is rough so if you have little ones this is definitely a plus. Day trips to Burlington, Montreal, saint Albans and Plattsburgh provide good variety to the vacation.

Fabulous Vacation Spot!
This cottage was perfect for our family of 5! The home was impeccably clean & stocked with every pot, pan & gadget one could need. Just pack suntan lotion, bathing suits & beach towels and you are all set! We made great use of the kayaks, paddle board & beach chairs - along with the like-new life jackets. Our family enjoyed the screened-in gazebo for meals & the fire pit for 'smores at night. Tons of board games, coloring books & crayons provided - ideal for our 9, 6, and 4-year-olds. The lake is pristine with clear water, and the sunsets are amazing. Fantastic views from the cottage all the way across to the Green Mountains. We loved the location and explored Quebec, Burlington/Stowe, and the Ausable Chasm. The property owners are kind & generous and very quick to reply to any questions we had. We will definitely return to West Winds Cottage!

We stayed for a week in the west winds cottage. The house was everything we hoped for and more. Pam was great the house has everything you could need. The beds were comfortable and the sitting areas were great. The gazebo was a great spot for morning coffee or a night time drink. Theres a dock in the water and a lift for the boat which was great for docking the boat. The fishing was outstanding. We caught several fish right off the dock including a couple of big ones. We didnt have to go far in the boat to find more good fishing, we had alot of luck right in the bay catching several bass, perch and walleye. I will be booking this house again in the future and i recomend this house to anyone looking for a quiet relaxing get away.

You could not have a nicer host than Pam! She provides EVERYTHING you need! She and her husband even came and helped me when I got lost walking! The Italian restaurant is superb. If you want total quiet, this is the place.

Wonderful West Winds Cottage
Our vacation at WWC was beyond fabulous!!!! From the moment Pam and I reconnected as high school classmates to saying goodbye and closing the door ... our stay was magical! The cottage was simply perfect and so was the weather! I’m already looking at future dates for another visit ... I feel blessed to have found a friend and a new vacay destination!

Amazing stay for the second year in a row!
This was our second year to spend a week at this lovely cottage, and it couldn’t have been better… Again! Pam is such an incredible hostess and makes everything go so smoothly and easily. The cottage is impeccably clean and so cozy. We didn’t want to leave. Although the water was cold this early in June, we were still able to get in at the end of the trip, and we used the kayaks every day. We caught a lot of perch, a couple bass, and a couple Pike. We enjoyed eating at Gino’s and Casa Capitano and were grateful to have the price chopper down the street. Lake Champlain is such a beautiful lake, and the area is so fun to explore, and this is the perfect cottage for doing all that! Couldn’t recommend more highly!

Wonderful
The cottage was wonderful and well stocked with anything you may need, from clothes pins to pots and pans. All items were clean and in good working order! Pam checked in with us before we arrived and made sure the dock and boat lift were all set for our boat. Russ met us on Saturday and made sure we didn't have any needs or questions. Pam checked in to make sure things were going well. Very accommodating! We hope to visit again!

We spent a week at this outstanding property, which exceeded our expectations.
The cottage is lovely, well maintained, has fantastic views, and is fully equipped for any need! Everything we could possibly require was provided. Fishing was great, with our 7 year old catching 9 fish on our last evening. Pam and Russ are pleasant and professional, and were responsive to every, and all questions. The grocery store in Champlain was close and convenient. We are veteran travellers and this is the best rental home we have ever had the pleasure of visiting.

Everything you always wanted!
We had a wonderful vacation at West Winds! Pam and Russ, the owners, could not have been nicer or more accommodating! The house cleanliness was impeccable and Pam provided everything: spices, cleaning products, paper supplies, water, sosps and dish liquids, and every type of cooking utensil. We have rented many places, and we always bring all our day to day supplies. We didn’t need to use any of them. There were kayaks, a paddle board, fishing equipment, and life jackets. The sunsets were beautiful, and the fishing was great. We caught a five pound bass right off the shore. Also, we liked the easy access to Vermont and Canada.
We look forward to returning next year!

A great place to get away from it all
We spent a week here in July and even though the weather was not fully cooperative (hot, humid, and stormy that week) we really enjoyed our stay. The cottage is well-appointed, beautifully decorated, everything you need is here, and spotlessly clean. Pam and Russ met us when we arrived and were very responsive throughout the week, making sure we had everything we needed. We took walks around the neighborhood almost every day, hiked at Point au Roche State Park, and took a drive through the beautiful Champlain Islands and northern Vermont. We loved the kayaks that were provided and really enjoyed kayaking in the bay. The screened in gazebo was perfect for reading and painting and enjoying the water without needing to deal with the bugs. As a photographer I was thrilled to capture many beautiful scenes from the cottage including spectacular sunsets across the bay. My husband enjoyed fishing from the dock. Both bedrooms had super comfortable beds and there are 2 pull-out couches available if you have a larger group. The grocery store, Price Chopper, is about 10 minutes away and there are several restaurants in Rouse's Point which is 4 miles away. All in all, we were very pleased with this rental. We would definitely return here.

Exactly what we were looking for!
We had an amazing week at West Winds cottage. Pam was the perfect hostess from start to finish! The cottage is exceptionally clean and stocked with everything we needed. We loved the location and took day trips to Montreal, Burlington, Plattsburgh, and the Ausable chasm. There is a Price Chopper in Champlain, ten minutes away, so it is easy to fill up on groceries and cook at the cabin. This cottage was perfect for our two small kids. She has a closet filled with books, games, and crayons for the kids which they loved. The water is clear and shallow, and they swam every day in addition to using the two kayaks and paddle board. We fished off the dock and around the lake via boat, and we built fires in the fire pit at night. The location is peaceful and quiet...just what we were looking for! Overall, it was a truly perfect week!!!

Beautiful place my family felt right at home.
Home was equipped with everything you need to be comfortable. I did a lot of cooking and everything was there that I needed. Place is spotless, which you don't find in most places. Great view on the lake. Pam was there to greet me and show me around and was always a phone call away if needed. Would definitely go again.

Just an awesome cottage getaway! Super clean and the owner thought of everything.
This is a great spot for anglers. The cottage is close to some of the best smallmouth fishing on the lake! The cottage was perfect and the owner was just great.

Perfect family vacation spot!
We just finished our vacation at west winds and everything was great! The house was exactly as described and everything we needed in the house was supplied. We traveled with 3 little kids and Pam helped supply items in the house, and for our outings, that made it easy to travel and helped ease our packing burden. Pam was friendly, available, and a great resource for day trips, local events, food/ shopping locations, and anything else we needed. We made great use out of the kayaks and paddle board, fished daily off the docks, and relaxed on the quiet bay. The house has ample area for kids to run around and the road has minimal traffic. We had a memorable vacation and look forward to our stay here again next year!
