About this cottage rental
Cozy one bedroom cottage located on the shores of Lake Champlain. Nestled in tall cedars on McNeil's Bay, across from the Charlotte-Essex Ferry. A spectacular location, with views of the Adirondacks across the lake. Fall asleep to the sounds of waves lapping on the shore and halyards lightly ringing on the sailboats moored in McNeil's Bay.
Views across the lake of Sloop Island and glimpses of the Adirondacks through the living-area window and spectacular views of the Adirondacks from the rocky shoreline less than 40 feet from the cottage.
Private beach, excellent location for bird watching, fishing, kayaking, sailing, standup paddle boarding and swimming. You can rent a sailboat from the Charlotte Sailing Center across the bay or you can moor your shallow-draft motor boat or sailboat in a protected spot steps from the house (trailered boats can be launched at the nearby Converse Bay Fishing Access).
This house is the perfect getaway for one person or a couple. The kitchen is small but functional. You can sit inside in the living area or on the small porch reading and/or enjoying the water, look for fossils on the rocky beach, or walk or bike on the private dirt roads. 20 minutes from the Shelburne Museum, 30 minutes from Burlington, easy access to the Green Mountains or the Adirondacks via the ferry. A favorite activity of ours is to park at the ferry dock, walk on to the ferry, ride to Essex while enjoying the breeze on the lake and the views of the High Peaks of the Adirondacks, get dinner and/or ice cream, and ride home looking at Mt. Mansfield, Camels Hump, and the rest of the Green Mountains.
A cozy simple house in a spectacular location.

We were very impressed with this cabin. It was a perfect space for two people. The stairs going up to the bedroom were easily negotiable, not too steep, with good handrails all the way up. The whole space was clean and well thought-out. We especially appreciated all the towel racks and hooks in the bathroom! Trees surround the cabin but there is still a view to Lake Champlain and a little overlook that makes the perfect spot to sit in your camp chair and watch the sunset. We had fun watching the ferry come and go each day. There was a great crested flycatcher that serenaded us every day. This location is the perfect home base from which to do some day adventures, or just sit and soak up the lake's beauty. Our host was terrific. As we were arriving, he came out to meet us in the dusk and pouring rain to make sure that we found the right driveway. We had a slight problem with the water that first night and he came right down to fix it. He shared great stories about the history of the land and his family. Wonderful vacation spot!

Beautiful little cabin on Lake Champlain, perfect for.my wife and I while we visited our daughter for graduation at UVM. We met Glen, our host, a very gracious individual.The cabin had everything we needed. We were happy to retreat from the busyness of the city. We brought our paddleboards so got out on the water daily. It was all lovely. Would definitely stay again if we have reason to go there.

We had a great stay! The cabin was small but very cozy, comfortable, and had everything we needed. Unfortunately, the weather wasn’t very good during our trip, but we would definitely love to come back when it’s warmer to enjoy the area even more.

The place was clean and had everything needed to relax and also the ability to cook. It’s a really beautiful location, accurate to the description. We enjoyed our stay and would book again. It’s a great place to unplug and it was only about 30 minutes to Burlington and many great hiking locations. Host is responsive and helpful.
