My wife and I spent few nights here in early October and what an incredible spot right on Lake Champlain! We couldn’t get enough of the sunsets over the NY foliage. Looking forward to going back

My partner and I really enjoyed our short stay here. The cottage was a little more rustic than we expected, but the gas wood stove and the new oven (the latter updated from in the listing photos) were great additions. The cottage is just a staircase away from the lake where we could sit and watch the sun set. We would definitely stay here again.

We had a great stay in the house. The location was amazing with a view of Lake Champlain. The walk down to the beach was a nice treat. The beds were extremely comfortable and cozy.

This immaculately maintained cozy little cottage is situated right at the edge of the shore of Lake Champlain. The sunsets were breathtaking and the area so peaceful and relaxing. Perfect spot from which to explore all the islands have to offer, while also easy to reach Burlington.

Beautiful location on the lake. We had 4 adults and found the bedrooms very small. Need second toilet. The cottage is well maintained but showing it age.

The place is private, peaceful, clean and well maintained. Dave, the owner, even warned us of an approaching storm and advised us on how to protect screen porch furniture upholstery from getting wet, so communication was excellent, too.

We’ve stayed at this cottage four times now - great location - Dave is a good host and communicates well. Peaceful spot and can’t beat the view. It’s also easy to get to Burlington or across to New York depending on what you’re looking to do.

Quaint little cottage with amazing views. Very relaxing and peaceful. From morning coffee on the porch, the cozy hammock and watching sunsets on your own private beach. If you do venture out, drop by a farmer's market, take in a concert at the Snowfarm Vineyard or grab the 15 min Ferry to New York and visit Ausable Chasm. We definitely will be back.
Thanks Dave!

Wonderful, quiet, well equipped. The house was clean and comfortable - the owner wonderful to work with. The views of the lake are spectacular!! The owner should post pictures of the lake at night with the moon reflecting off the water - beautiful! We hope to return again and would definitely recommend to our friends.

Great view, loved the screened-in porch, hammock, rocky beach, outdoor fires, walks along the road, local produce at a neighborhood farm. Overall a great experience.
Only downside was the neighbors on either side were noisy, but still we would return. Thank you!

This property is in a great location with a perfect lake view. We were looking to stay at a small cozy place and the screened in porch looking out to the lake was a definite plus. This property was immaculately clean. The neighborhood was quiet. We were looking for rest and relaxation and found it here. Great stay.

Give me a porch and a view and I’m in heaven. Add comfy beds and darling cottage and excellent area to cycle and I’m in love. We are sad to leave. Thank you Dave.

This was my second time at this cottage, and I loved it again. So did my girlfriends for whom it was a first visit. We loved eating and chatting on the screen porch, hanging out in the hammock, dinner on either porch or at table outside. The views are hard to beat, and the neighborhood is peaceful.
I had some wonderful swims in the lake, and enjoyed the walking and biking in the area too.
We will be back! Thanks again for sharing this wonderful part of Vermont!

Such a nice property! The view is STUNNING and the sunsets every night are unbeatable. I love that the cottage is older and rustic. Something about it just calms you down and makes all your worries wash away. You are a short drive to 2 grocery stores, things to do, a couple restaurants, and plenty of baked goods! Yum! The only thing we agreed was not the best was the beds. They were pretty uncomfortable and there were a couple nights we didn't sleep well. But otherwise we were calm and happy the entire trip. We even got engaged here!!

We stayed for two days/ nights during the June heatwave. Didn’t need heat but would be a great place to snuggle and read, watch movies. Being right on the lake with the sunsets was wonderful! Great area for walks, runs, biking. David so friendly, responsive and helpful! We will find our way back! Thank you! And the windows so clean!

A perfect lake front vacation spot indeed. That view though. You will have to come and see for yourself. We had mostly cloudy weather but it just didn’t matter. The cottage was peaceful and cozy. The owner Dave was available, not that he was needed, we had everything for a perfect stay.The neighbors where, friendly. Felt like home away from home. Dave we will be back. Thanks for your hospitality!

Comfortable A/C in bedroom. Lots of fans with nice screened porch. Convenient to South Hero Wally's and Seas. And to Burlington for Dining in the evening, baseball, and Movies in Essex. Nice shower always a plus. Insufficient directions for using TV, could have called, not a big deal so didn't call. Had some evenings sitting and watching the sunset. We enjoyed out time there.

Enjoyed the views from the porch of this rustic cabin on the lake. Ok house for 2 adults and children (max 4 persons). One bed is comfortable, the other is not. Unable to determine the temperature of the oven bc the dial is not attached to the stove making it difficult to use. BBQ grill is nice so plan on all cooking outside. Solo stove in the yard for outdoor fire which was wonderful. Host responds quickly to all communication.
