Dog-friendly lakefront house with firepit, grill, 5 kayaks, dock & amazing views

Come and experience a tranquil and unique getaway at this lakefront home with splendid water views and a secluded location! This darling home away from home enjoys a prime location right on the shores of Lake Champlain and within five miles of Alburgh Dunes State Park. Try some of the best quality local produce at Savage Gardens, one of the nearest farmers' markets. Other great attractions within a short drive include Knight Point State Park, Missisquoi National Wildlife Refuge Admin Building and Visitor Contact Station, and North Hero State Park.

This beautiful, family-friendly home enjoys direct access to the sparkling waters of Lake Champlain and a private dock (available seasonally) where you can launch one of the five kayaks or SUP provided. The back patio, which faces the lake, offers many seating options where you can lounge with your loved ones, a picnic table to dine alfresco, and a firepit that would be perfect for storytelling time. The home also provides you with a convenient gas grill to surprise your guests with delicious seared treats.

Inside, this quaint, comfortable home features a lakefront porch with inviting sofas throughout - this spot is ideal for reading and relaxing after an exciting evening on the lake. When mealtime comes, put on the chef's apron and surprise everyone with savory homemade meals prepared in the well-equipped kitchen. The kitchen has been appointed with all the essentials, including a convection oven and a K-cup coffee maker. Once you are done eating, retreat to the cozy living area, which offers inviting furniture, a TV with a Firestick, and a gas fireplace to keep you nice and toasty. Additional perks include a dartboard, yard games, board games, and window AC units.

Beutiful spot!

The sunrise was amazing everyday, and dock very protected from wind. I was able to keep my boat on the dock all weekend with no worries. The water is pristine and crystal clear for swimming and kayaking!

We had a great time! The house is in a great location, beautiful views of the lake from a big back porch that looks out over the water. We used the kayaks extensively and were able to go across to some of the other islands.The house itself is comfortable, plenty of room and all the basic things you'd need for a vacation.This was an awesome central location for exploring the islands. We found good food, nice walking trails, and natural attractions.We're considering booking with the same house next year if it's available - it really was a great place to stay.

Beautiful get-away.

Very private escape with the lake at your fingertips. Well appointed and loads of amenities you can lounge, swim, paddle or explore. We look forward to future visits. Thank you also for the accommodations for our sweet pup. She felt as at home as we did.

Stunning views in this cozy cottage. We sat outside next to the lake with a campfire every night. Gas burning wood stove warmed the house nicely. Beautiful fall colors everywhere!

Girls weekend

This place is all about location. It’s a gorgeous spot on Champlain, and the landscaping/patios make this place. It is pretty close to a busy road making it a little loud at night if sleeping on the porch.

A little piece of heaven…

It was a cozy cottage right on lake Champlain. The views were spectacular. The lake is very clean. It has a nice dock. Supplied kayaks, paddle board, etc. Nice fire pit on the terrace right on the lake. Many places to go hiking. And dogs are welcome!

Just beautiful !!!

We really enjoyed our stay at Hazen’s Hideaway. The house is very well equiped And confortable. We loved the set up outside. Lot’s of activities to do on the lake or the lawn. We had a blast. The only down side is the proximity of the Road . You have to be very carefull with dogs or young kids.

Slice of heaven

The views are absolutely breathtaking. Can’t wait to come back. The island has so many hidden gem food spots. There were so many spider webs and big spiders around inside and outside, it could have used some extra love and cleaning. It gets a little loud when speeding cars go by. I wish the parking spot was a little bit larger/safer as well.

Pros- Amazing views and water access. Cons- Cabin is on an extremely busy 50 mph road with heavy truck traffic passing at all hours of the day and night heading to and from the Canadian border crossing just north of here in Alburgh. With the thin walls and metal cladding on the roadside porch of the cabin that acts like the skin on a drum at times, this can be disruptive to light sleepers and those looking for a quiet evenings rest.

Great lakefront location

Access to the lake was key! If you are a light sleeper this property may not be for you as it is on a main road. It didn’t bother me when I used a white noise machine. I would recommend this to smaller groups, no more than four, due to size.

Nice memories for owners - not so much for guests

The landscaping was stunning - beautiful yard, gorgeous flowers, beautiful patio out back. Just wished we could have spent time enjoying it. Hundreds of spiders & cobwebs. Needed a MAJOR cleaning outside. That said, the inside was extremely clean. Old cottage that I’m sure has wonderful memories for the owners - we just didn’t feel comfortable here at all unfortunately. 😢

Great memories for the owners I’m sure - just not so much for guests

We got to the house and didn’t realize that the door to enter was the slider facing the lake. We tried opening what looked like the entrance and almost pulled the door off. Found the slider unlocked that made us a bit unsettled. Pros: beautiful landscape and patio area Very very clean inside Comfortable beds Views of the lake spectacularCons: couldn’t enjoy being outside much as all of the furniture was COVERED in spiders and webs - was looking so forward to spending time out on the gorgeous patio - but didn’t want to be crawling with spiders Cottage is very old and filled with owners belongings - felt very much like we were intruding As stated by other ratings - the road. I didn’t think I’d mind too much but didn’t realize how busy it really was. I was hoping for a peaceful, restful place to stay - it just wasn’t for us. I’m sure it’s the best place for owners and their family - just not for outside guests in my opinion
