Quaint & Cozy

Enjoyed are stay at the camp. The outside flowers, bird feeders and deck were peaceful. Had fun watching the birds feed and the chipmunks and squirrels trying to get to the feeders.Our property manager/owner was very good at communicating with us.The only detriment was the beach. Due to the spring thaw and flooding there was numerous amount of driftwood in the sand near shore; which made it difficult for wading. I was told by a couple of locals this was due to the rivers that flow into the lake. Small children would have problems, although we didn't have any.We would recommend this rental to other family members and friends.

The Perfect Cottage

This was the perfect place for a little weekend getaway to visit my college kid. Only about 15 min drive to UVM campus. Aside from being so close to the beach/lake (perfect place to watch the sunset!), the back patio provides a lovely, quiet place to enjoy dinner. There’s an enclosed porch to chill, or sit around the island in the kitchen or living room with a fireplace. Our host was very responsive and super helpful. I’m bookmarking this place bc I’ll definitely stay again. Highly recommend!!

We fell in love with this adorable cottage with a gorgeous view and location by the lake. We could walk down to the lake and enjoy the sunset or stay on the porch and relax. It is a short drive to Burlington, restaurants and shops. Highly recommended! We hope to come back soon!

Great location near the lake!

This was a lovely little beach house cottage in Vermont. The location was good as Burlington was only a 15 minute drive away. The cottage gets a little cold this time of year (October) so I would recommend using the fireplace for heat at night. Also, the shower is a little small so that is something to consider if you need/want a lot of shower space. Otherwise, the cabin was nice and it was in a good location.

Graduation Weekend

Beds were comfortable and the 3 season porch was a great place to unwind. We enjoyed the view of the water from the house. Kitchen is well stocked with dishes. At night we could hear tree frogs calling on the other side of the road, which was fun. There's also a park nearby with walking trails, and a grocery store close by. Zachary's Pizza is also close and we had an excellent pizza there. It was about 20 minutes to downtown Burlington. A very relaxing place to stay, so glad we found it!

Lovely cozy cottage on Lake Champlain

The cottage was clean, well appointed and cozy! Not far from downtown Burlington by car, and beach access. Beds were comfy and we had a lovely stay. Be watchful of the driveway in arrival if you come after dark—it’s not evident from the street at first glance. Hosts were helpful and communicative.

Lovely camp with everything you want + need

Our stay was absolutely wonderful. The property is in a little neighborhood that is quiet and beautiful with views of the lake and Adirondacks. The kitchen had everything we needed to make our meals and enjoy time together. We loved the fire pit outside and the option to sit under the canopy in the rain. It felt very nice to spend time as a family in someone’s family cabin/camp. We enjoyed playing board games in the evening as well. I cannot say enough great things! We hope to stay again in the future. Thanks for Claire and her family for the great getaway!
