Slow down…You’re on Island Time | House in Isle La Motte

We want to be your headquarters for a fun-filled spring, summer, or fall vacation on Lake Champlain with your family and friends! Fall in love with this magical corner of the world, perfect for water sports, fishing, biking, walking, exploring, playing, unplugging, and relaxing.
Our spacious home is situated on one acre, with 100 feet of lakefront and a stunning view to New York’s northern Adirondacks. A deck with six chairs overlooking the lake provides a space to relax and take in the view. A private dock provides direct access to the lake, with seating for 6 at the end of the dock. A perfect spot for morning coffee and admiring the amazing sunsets! A swim raft just beyond the dock will provide hours of fun for the swimmers.
Four kayaks and a canoe are available for your use, with some personal flotation devices (life jackets) provided. Two adult bicycles and a tricycle are standing by. A game room in a detached converted garage will lure the young at heart with ping pong, air hockey, and foosball tables. There is also a full refrigerator in the game room. Swings, a variety of lawn games, and a volleyball / badminton net will keep everybody active when they’re not in the water or out exploring the area.
A short ride will bring you to the former Isle LaMotte Elementary School, where there is still a nice play structure and a basketball hoop. Across the street at Memorial Park you can play basketball, pickleball or tennis. (Bring your own equipment.) You could even play baseball or fly a kite.
The house is fully equipped for your relaxing vacation. Downstairs features a large comfortable open living area with three couches, several chairs, and three game tables. Sliding glass doors open to the deck. A gas fireplace will warm any chilly evenings.
The kitchen contains everything you will need to produce meals for the whole gang: refrigerator and freezer, electric cooktop and oven, microwave, coffee maker, toaster, blender, a large assortment of pots, pans, and bowls, plus other small appliances and tools. The gas grill is just out the side door. The kitchen connects conveniently to a dining area with seating for 12.
A young kids’ play area offers games, books, art supplies, toys, and a table with two chairs. A cabinet in the living room contains puzzles and games for guests of all ages. A large flatscreen TV in the living room is equipped with Roku.
The first-floor bedroom includes a queen and a daybed with pullout trundle. A desk alcove offers a quiet work space for those who just can’t leave the real world completely behind. The large en suite bathroom includes both limited-mobility shower and a tub. An additional full bath and washer / dryer are also located on the first floor.
Upstairs are three bedrooms and a bathroom. The Blue Room has a queen, a daybed, a pullout trundle, and a fantastic view over the lake. The Flower Room has a full bed with views to the lake and the back yard. The Bunk Room has one bunk bed and a cozy window seat / reading nook. All upstairs rooms are wood paneled and carpeted, with adequate storage for all your stuff and multiple windows to catch the cool breezes. Each room has an individual thermostat for your complete comfort. A full bath with tub shower completes the upstairs.
We provide all the basics you will need: linens, towels, paper products, dish soap, hand soap, laundry soap, cleaning supplies, kitchen towels, sponges, and scrubbies. We even stock a kitchen cabinet with ingredients such as oils, vinegars, flour, sugar, salt, spices, and some tea.
Local attractions and activities are almost too numerous to mention. Swim or fish right off your own private dock or head out onto Lake Champlain in a kayak or canoe. Learn the rich geologic history of the island's ancient Chazy Reef at the Isle La Motte Historical Society. Walk along the fascinating interpretive trail through the Goodsell Ridge Fossil Preserve. Visit the haunting Fisk Quarry Preserve, right around the corner. The historic Fisk Farm, where Vice President Teddy Roosevelt learned that President McKinley had been shot, is a half mile up the road. St. Anne’s Shrine at the north end of the island draws thousands of visitors every year. Five state parks are nearby, including our favorite Alburgh Dunes, with its huge sandy beach and warm shallow water. For the golfers, Alburgh Dunes Golf Links is only a 10-minute drive.
A 30-minute drive will take you to local vineyards with frequent wine-tastings and concerts. For those wanting an urban experience, Montreal and Burlington are each about a one-hour drive, and Stowe is about 90 minutes. Hiking in New York State’s Adirondack Mountains is just across the lake. You will find a complete detailed guide to local attractions at the house.
If you drive an electric vehicle, there is an EV charger on the property which we will make available to you for no additional cost.
From late June through August we rent only by the week, Saturday to Saturday. From mid-May through late June and September through October we rent any time with a 2 night minimum.
