So Relaxing

The location of Cindy's rental is perfect, right on the lake. The kitchen is very!! well stocked. It was so nice to sit in the dining area or outside and watch the water. Four of us paddled across the lake and found a waterfall. The neighborhood is quiet and everyone is friendly. Felt very safe. Two doors down is the marina and restaurant. Nice owner and yummy ice cream. Four stars for getting in. Had to call and find where the keys were. Cell phone service is bad for Verizon users.We were able to meet Cindy who is very friendly. Highly recommend staying here.

wedding weekend

The space was perfect. My husband and I took the master suite across the breezeway, my son and his family took two bedrooms and my daughter took the other in the main space. Plenty of space for all, plenty of things to do. We were on the lake for a weekend of wedding festivities on the point - it was so convenient!

Superb

We truly enjoyed our short getaway on Champlain at this amazing home. The location was excellent, away from the crowds, but still with easy access to the quintessential lake amenities. The house was fully stocked with everything we needed to prepare meals, games to keep our kids occupied, and kayaks, canoes, and sup boards to enjoy our time on the water. Having the Indian Bay Marina right next door is certainly a plus, where you can enjoy a meal and a cocktail while watching the sunset. We hope to return soon!

Relaxed to the max

This camp was perfect for our week away. The master suite provided a quiet separate area for my mother and her boyfriend while my family of four took over the main camp. Cindy was quick to answer texts and remedy the few minor issues we had. Location was perfect for us to do day trips from and on the days we stayed at camp there were enough activities at the camp to occupy my teenage children (paddle boarding, reading in hammock, cornhole, puzzles). We also loved the convenience of the marina restaurant just 3 doors down. Hope to visit again in the future.

Peaceful getaway

We have rented this cottage in September 2023 to celebrate my boyfriend's birthday with friends. The Owner was very accessible, answered all my questions very fast before and while we were there. The place is beautiful, everything you need to cook is there, and the view from the kitchen and living room is amazing! The master bedroom is beautiful, private and has many windows so you can see the lake when you wake up in the morning. I will definitely go back!

Relaxing Willsboro Vacation

We greatly enjoyed our stay at Cindy’s Willsboro Bay house, and hope to return. The house is in a great location, and is well-maintained and well-stocked for vacation needs. We found the furniture and decor comfortable and attractive. The availability of kayaks, canoes and bikes was a plus. We also appreciated the availability of air conditioning and a washer and dryer. The house is a short walk to Indian Bay Marina, where we ate a number of our meals. Thank you Cindy!

The online pictures don’t do the property justice. It is far more picturesque and the temperature feels like outdoor air-conditioning in the summer. Plenty of room to feel at home while on vacation with all the amenities you could ask for. Would definitely stay here again!

Family vacation

This is a perfect family vacation house with great views of the lake! The sandy beach area is perfect for kids to play in and they have canoes, kayaks, and stand up paddle boards to enjoy! It has a nicely stocked updated kitchen that has beautiful views of the lake. The three bedrooms are small, but it has a large master off the screened in porch. The one bedroom pictured with a bunk bed is now a double trundle bed. It has a nice outdoor shower that is perfect for keeping sand outside. There’s a long dining room table for everyone to sit and enjoy a meal together while looking at the beautiful lake. There’s a little waterfall across the lake under the little bridge that is a fun canoe or kayak adventure across to the other side of the lake. There’s a restaurant called Old Orchard Place in Willsboro that has really good food. It’s a quick drive to the ferry if you want to head over to Burlington, Vermont or go to the Ben and Jerry’s Ice Cream Factory. Overall great trip!

Memorial Day Weekend getaway

We had a phenomenal long weekend on the lake! The house had everything we needed to enjoy ourselves, and not have to lug a ton of stuff of our own with two small children. I loved having coffee each morning looking out at the bay after a restful night’s sleep. All of the bedrooms were super comfortable and even our youngest (2 1/2) slept well the majority of the time! The kitchen had everything we needed, and we appreciated not having to bring our own beach or bath towels and sheets. The recently renovated kitchen, bathrooms, and new flooring throughout were amazing! We made great use of the kayaks, the fire pit, and the Adirondack chairs! Being within walking distance to the marina made for happy adults and kids alike when we realized they served ice cream in addition to the full restaurant and bar. All of the locals couldn’t have been nicer! We drove to Essex and took the ferry to Charlotte and then drove on to Burlington for a day trip, which couldn’t have been easier. Cindy was a wonderful host! She was communicative from the start, made sure to give us heads up on everything, and even delivered extra batteries when we thought the living room remote needed a new set! Thank you for such a memorable trip!

Great sunsets, comfy beds, and well-stocked kitchen

We stayed here to celebrate my in-laws' 60th wedding anniversary, and we couldn't have been happier with the layout. This was one of the few times where the pics online weren't as good as the actual space. We weren't sure if there were 2 identical bedrooms in the main house or just different pics of one room - but there were indeed 3 separate rooms. And the bedroom across the breezeway was the perfect in-law apartment, where they could sleep with the room warm enough for their 80+ year-old bones without overheating the rest of us. It was pretty chilly outside when we were there towards the end of October, but there were plenty of high-quality space heaters and blankets. Kitchen had plenty of good knives and pots & pans, and we were very happy to eat in and watch the sunset. Beautiful spot! Thank you, Cindy, for your hospitality! We'll be back.

Old fashioned relaxation, modern comfort

Four friends looking for a lovely camp property with all the amenities of a modern comfortable home and a variety of active fun things to do. History, natural beauty, kayaking, hiking, talking around campfires after gorgeous sunsets. Will have to bring my family here. The kitchen is beautifully supplied for simple or full family meals, and there’s a great gas grill, although there’s a marina restaurant within 3 minutes walk. The beds are comfy, washer and dryer are new. The host is very responsive and obviously takes great care of the property! So glad I found it and it was available!
