Everything was great at this property. House was roomy and clean. Beds were comfortable. Lots of space to be together (or apart!). The area was just as pretty and tranquil as the photos portray. Communication was easy too.

We have stayed at many rental properties, and this was the first time the house exceeded our expectations. It is clean, newly updated and lovingly maintained with Mindy’s meticulous care. With just a few surrounding houses, the location is quiet and serene, with beautiful lake views. We hope to return here again.

A Comfortable House with Resort Amenities
This was our second stay at Mindy’s house on Lake Champlain.
If you have children and you’re looking for lake access and water sports, this rental is hard to beat. Lake Champlain is the largest and deepest lake in New England. The water quality is good, and it’s consistently breezy. Mindy’s house is adjacent to, but not part of the Basin Harbor Club. Basin Harbor is the only full resort on Champlain, with golf, tennis, heated pool and lake swimming areas, and a nice marina. But, partly because the entire west shore of the lake is the protected Adirondack Park, there is very light boat traffic. It’s quiet, and the Basin Harbor boats have it pretty much to themselves. The scenery, as you’re taking a lap on water skis, wake boarding or tubing, is first class, with Adirondack peaks and cliffs to the west and the Green Mountains visible behind the rolling farmland on the east shore.
Basin Harbor offers an assortment of cottages and suites. However, Mindy’s house, comprising 3 bedrooms on two full floors with a lake view, is a lot roomier, quieter, and more private. Importantly, it has a full kitchen, for those who prefer not to make every meal a restaurant meal.
Mindy and her husband Bill fully renovated the house in 2016. It’s nicely decorated and furnished, with fixtures and appliances in good condition. When we arrived, everything had been thoroughly cleaned. Mindy is allowing 10 day periods between renters to follow VT COVID guidelines.
We appreciated the new barbecue and patio chairs, the screened in porch has new, wrap-around windows, so it can be used more flexibly, and fresh flowers in the common rooms.
One of the smoke detectors started beeping for maintenance. Mindy and Bill responded quickly and solved the problem. Mindy was readily available by text or phone for any questions.
Our kids especially appreciate the independence they get here. It’s an easy bike ride from the house to the resort. Basin Harbor is at the end of a long, dead-end access road and surrounded by farm fields. There is zero through traffic by anyone not here for the resort. The few cars observe the low speed limits. This year especially, we felt spoiled to have so much facility with such a small population of guests.
Can’t recommend this vacation highly enough!

Wonderful stay
Mindy was a wonderful host and her home was just right for our needs. There were thoughtful touches throughout and the home was exceptionally clean. A perfect getaway on the lake!

The house is beautiful and very clean and it had plenty of room for 6 adults and a baby. Mindy was very helpful as we were making our decision about renting it with a baby. It worked out very well and we especially liked the small sandy beach area and shallow water at the shore for the baby to play. We brought our kayaks and easily launched them and kept them on the shore during our stay. The only regret: we wanted to stay longer!! We highly recommend this property.

Perfect getaway
We had a wonderful time at Mindy's home on the lake. The house is super clean and updated, yet still keeps lots of cottage charm. It has everything you would need, and the views of the lake from the home are stunning too!
The location is quiet and peaceful, yet also a short drive for some sightseeing. With our toddlers, we checked out Shelburne Farms and the ECHO Museum/Aquarium. Both of which were just a short drive away. Button Bay State Park is right around the corner as well. It was the perfect balance of sightseeing and relaxation.
Mindy was super easy to work with; responsive and super helpful answering all of our questions. We hope to be back for another vacation next year!

NOT ENOUGH STARS
There are not enough stars to rate this wonderful property.
It is a wonderful, clean, cozy cottage tucked away in the woods.
A beautiful view of the lake and a charming yard.
Nothing is missing inside...everything you would want or need in the kitchen and the bathroom is spacious. The pics do not due it justice.
It was pristine .
We would return in a heartbeat!

Great House Next to Basin Harbor!
We enjoyed our stay at Mindy's house so well we added an extra day.
When we planned vacation, we considered Maine, New Hampshire, the Cape and Nantucket, as well as Vermont. We wanted to be on the water with a full range of water sports, since it would be in August and we have two young boys. Mindy's house on Lake Champlain offered the best combination of space and amenities.
In a few minutes our boys (8 and 10) could ride their bikes over to the Basin Harbor Club by themselves. Because, unlike most water-side resorts, the BHC is surrounded by farms, this was a safe ride. And at the large BHC property, they had a good degree of independence, better than we can provide at home. The Club has an excellent lake front location with a recently redone marina. There were enough guests to socialize with without ever failing to find a prime spot on a lounge chair overlooking the lake or a reservation for a sailing lesson or for dinner.
The BHC is a great destination for people with kids. But we wanted a full sized house, peace, quiet and privacy. By renting from Mindy, we got the best of both worlds.
The house and location were as described in the listing. The kitchen is recently renovated and a pleasure to prepare food in. We had no trouble sharing the 1 1/2 baths between us. There was plenty of table and counter space to spread out everyone's stuff. The beds were comfortable and clean. The towels were in good condition. One pleasant surprise was that the bedroom Mindy styles the 'garden room', which I had guessed would be a basement space, was actually on the second floor with the other bedrooms.
Everything was clean, neat and well organized when we arrived. Essentials like laundry and dish detergent, paper towels, bath soap, salt, pepper, light bulbs were all provided.
One minor improvement might be to provide a drying rack for hand wash dishes. Although the dishwasher works fine, there are always some of these.
We had a great vacation and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this house.

Beautiful lake Champlain house!
This house is perfect for a family vacation at the lake. Located close to Vergennes and the grocery store, it is a 50 yard walk to the lake. This cove also has a sandy beach without mussels, so perfect for our kids and my mother to get in the water! The house itself is wonderful-modern, updated kitchen with gas range and dishwasher. Great screened in porch for dining and lounging , and three bedrooms upstairs all with AC, which was fantastic as we were there during the hottest week of the summer! I highly recommend this house to anyone who wants a real Vermont vacation.

Beautiful house, very well appointed
Mindy has thought of everything! We arrived with 3 generations to stay while my son graduated from Middlebury College just up the road. There were fresh lilacs placed all over the house. Clean, well stocked and easy to live in. Plenty of room and comfortable for everyone. Great views of the water. Mindy was very responsive with any questions that we had. Quick drive to Vergennes. Overall, we were really happy and can easily recommend this property.

Did not want to leave!
This home is a true Vermont lake home at it's best. We loved every minute of our stay and did not want to leave. The home is charming and has feel of vintage Vermont but is updated with all the modern amenities that make it very comfortable. The thought that went into the smallest of details is evident every where you turn. The home has wonderful light and is very clean. It is a short and enjoyable walk to Basin Harbor Club. Mindy made us feel very welcome and we truly can't wait to return.

Gorgeous house, view and location!
This house has it all! In a quiet lake setting, beautiful view and the house is stunning and renovated and so comfortable- this place was perfect for our family. The house was clean and the master bedroom has the most amazing view of the lake. We enjoyed the screened in porch for meals and could hear the water while we dined and watch the sunset. Just a short walk to the waters edge, we kayaked every morning and swam as often as we want as back and forth to the house was easy. We also enjoyed many of the surrounding activities such as Shelburne Museum, Farms, Fort Ticonderoga, VT Teddy Bear and the view from Mt Philo. We all agree this was our most favorite vacation!

Mindy, the host, was available from the day of reservation to assist us. Welcoming fresh flowers, fruit, coffe, tea and cream were much appreciated. The house is lovely. The linens and beds were nice. The kitchen supplies met our needs.
The view couldn't have been better.
We would love to be here during the summer to enjoy the screened porch...the temperature was too cool to do that this visit.
We met neighbors who were very friendly
Needless to say, our time here was enjoyed by all.
