Unique Family Rental on Lake Champlain, NY! "Life is Good"

The Lake Champlain House (LCH) is a "one of a kind", that comes with amenities that are just not matched/comparable, and can comfortably (3 king beds/2 Queen/2 Full beds with 3.5 baths) accommodate large families/groups up to fourteen (14) overnight guests in beds.

The LCH is available Year Round for weekly or daily rentals. You’ll love the “full-service” modern amenities and privacy of this rental property for its open spaces (waterfront Boat Shack/deck), and recently built large (12 x 14) outdoor covered cooking pavilion with both a grill for your burgers/steaks and dual burner outdoor stove for boiling lobsters/corn.

Invite the whole family to enjoy boating, swimming, fishing and just relaxing. You can enjoy sunrises over the Green Mountains of Vermont, breath taking views of Lake Champlain, sunsets over the Adirondacks, and evening campfires in the large family fire pit.

The Lake Champlain House or the 'Life is Good' house is located on the peninsula known as Point Au Fer, which is on New York's shore of Lake Champlain. It is an easy drive to Montreal, the Adirondacks/Lake Placid, and Burlington, Vermont.

The beautiful Lake Champlain House was newly constructed in 2008 with 100 feet of private shoreline and a private 70 foot dock. A large 20’ x 20’ deck with picnic tables, a covered cooking pavilion (gas grill and outdoor burners), a key west style Boat Shack/deck and large lawn area for kids to play games. Plenty of Adirondack chairs, and a large family fire pit (with fire wood) for everyone to fit around and enjoy nightly campfires.

In the water your family can enjoy a swim float, a mooring for your boat, or any of the boats provided: 6 sit on top kayaks, 2 canoes, and an aluminum row boat with oars.

Inside is a spacious kitchen/family room area with great views of the lake and mountains and a large fireplace. 4 bedrooms (can sleep up to 14 in real beds, see below) and a loft, 3 1/2 baths. All linens provided along with kitchen and bath towels. Central Air Conditioning so your family can sleep on those extremely hot, muggy summer nights.

The Champlain House will accommodate the following fourteen (14) guests:

· Master Bedroom 1- King Bed (sleeps 2)
· Master Bedroom 2- King Bed (sleeps 2)
· Guest Bedroom- King Bed(sleeps 2), with 2 Full Bunk Beds (sleeps 2)
· Fourth Bedroom- 2- Queen Bed (sleeps 4)
· Loft- sleeper chaIRS (sleeps 2)

(*Note – stairs to fourth bedroom and loft are steeper than normal)
