Down the stairs from the cottage is a private swimming/sunning beach. Amenities include: two kayaks, sun chairs, beach umbrellas, and lifejackets.
It's a great, private place to take a swim or launch on a kayak site seeing cruise along the beautiful shoreline. There is no dock (predominantly west winds) but the front yard offers plenty of space to park a boat and trailer.

The cottage is centrally located within the best Pike, Bass and Walleye fishing grounds on the lake!

Summary: The heater didn’t work. When we emailed the agent no one responded. The bathroom is very tiny. The property is far from everything. Closest town was about 45 minutes. Everything closed early and is closed on weekends. The general store is up the street but just very basic items. We went to a nearby farm stand and purchased apple cider donuts and a few veggies. The house had all your cooking utensils for your cooking needs but supermarkets are far away. The views are beautiful and nights are very cold. Acorn trees on the property and the nuts fell on the house quite a bit. Most windows have no locking devices. There’s no door on the kids bunk bedroom.

Summary: The house was perfect for 2 adults, with ample room for cooking, lounging and enjoying the view of Lake Champlain. The main bedroom was comfy, although a little tight around the edges of the bed. The kitchen was well equipped, and we grilled and cooked every meal utilizing all the accessories. The beach was private and quiet, allowing for all-day enjoyment of the lake. The kayaks were a fun amenity and provided an excellent way to explore the lake. The fire pits also provided a nice effect to enjoy the beautiful evenings and the lunar eclipse!

Summary: We so enjoyed our time right on the water very quiet. Plenty to do nearby if you want to explore. The cottage was very clean, well maintained and comfortable. Everything we needed for preparing meals, hanging outside and on the beach. Especially enjoyed our walks on the road along the lake front felt safe all vehicles were very courteous to foot traffic. Josie is an exceptional host super responsive!

Summary: The main thing is that I would consider staying here again and would recommend it. While we enjoyed the rural aspect of the house and its situation on the lake, you will have to drive to most dining locations and for groceries. Although the home was clean, it lacked some better amenities. All of the dishes and glasses were plastic, and the bed, while comfortable, would have been much more so with better sheets (cotton) and pillows. Because of the rain, the beach was not available to us until the last two nights of our stay and then we were finally able to enjoy the kayaks.

Summary: A very comfortable cottage with beautiful sunsets on Lake Champlain. Josie is totally accommodating and responsive. A great farmers market, ice cream place and market all within a 5 minute walk or drive. We had a wonderful 2 week stay.

Summary: This property is a great place to stay if you're looking to hike some trails and kayak on the lake. It is a 5 minute drive from some nicely maintained trails yet still away from any cities so it's nice and quiet. Everything was very clean and we had everything we needed for lour stay. I would definitely stay here again

Summary: Great little camp on the water. Well equipped ( you don’t need to bring anything but your clothing!) and clean. Nice patio off the living room that overlooks the water. It has outdoor dining, grill and fire pit. The camp is on a ledge and the stairs to the beach are steep. Not for anyone who has mobility issues and wants access to the water. Everyone else will have a great time. Kayaks, beach loungers, and a fire pit await on the beach.
