YouTube search "LoZa House vacation rentals" for videos of the property and units.
The Coastal unit of the LoZa House is a 2 story coastal design unit with beddrooms and one living room on the ground floor, and a living room/dining area, kitchen and bathroom on the upper story. The 16 foot patio door leading onto the 16 foot wide balcony affords spectacular views of Lake Champlain! With the door open and the bug screen closed the upper living room feels like an outdoor screened in porch.
Whether you are sitting on the balcony, outside on the shore or inside with the windows open you can enjoy the sound of the water lapping on the rocky shore.
Peace and tranquility of the country but only 12 minutes from downtown Plattsburgh, shopping/restaurant strip and very long Plattsburgh City public beach.
The 270 degree rocky waterfront on our property can be reached either by walking the grassy slopes, or using the 2 flights of stairs. There are two rocky beaches/swimming locations on the property - the north side and the east side. The east side has a rocky shoreline, and a dock, with deeper waters ideal for teens and adults or little ones if parents are in the water with them. The east side waterline also has a picnic table and large parasol at your disposal to enjoy a meal with the waterline right next to you. The north side rocky beach/shoreline on our property has much shallower waters ideal for younger children of age 5+ who can typically get in and out of the water easily by themselves if they have the right footwear for the rocky beach consisting mostly of small rocks. Near the east side rocky shoreline there is a Solo Stove firepit for you to roast marshmallows or hotdogs. On the north side there is a picnic table and fire pit. Of note, sturdy water shoes [or something like them] are recommended while swimming so please bring these along with you to optimize your enjoyment while in the waters adjacent to the property. You also have access to a paddle boat. Canoes, kayaks, and boats can be rented nearby [we can help/guide you with this if required].
Besides dipping yourself into the lake waters off either the North or East rocky shorelines at the edge of the property there is also the outdoor [chlorine] hot tub you can dip yourself into. Often in the summer we keep this as a small pool for the kids (minimal heat), or we can adjust to adult temperatures for a relaxing soak in a steaming traditional hot tub. Upon prior notice the temperature can be adjusted as you like. Typically, we turn the heat down in the summer to allow a cool place to relax while enjoying the spectacular views of the lake. In the colder months we can adjust the temperature to accommodate adults or children.
In addition, the Plattsbugh public beach, one of the biggest fresh water beaches in the country, is only a 10 min drive from the house.
The house is located on a dead-end branch of a dead-end street, creating a quiet place to play, ruminate, and relax.
We do live on the premises [upper 2 floors of the main house], as such the grounds are shared with us, and any guests in the other two units at LoZa House. This unit is located behind the garage and you have your own separate exterior entrance. The Coastal unit contains a queen Murphy bed [sleeps 2], 2 queen sleeper sofa [sleeps 2]. The kitchenette has a small stove, bar fridge, dishwasher, microwave, a coffee machine, and blender. There is also a propane gas BBQ for your use. The laundry area has a full size washer and dryer.
The bedroom has a fold up desk so you can work in secluded place away from the activity in the rest of the unit.
You are free to use the large HD TV [with Netflix and Disney+], and electric gas fireplace. Toys for young children (ages 3-7) can be arranged with prior notice.
Your private bathroom contains a shower, toilet, and sink.
There is a large driveway for kids to play on as well as a playground containing a two-story play structure with 3 swings, 3 slides, and a small climbing wall. These areas are shared with our kids and the other two vacation rentals at LoZa House.
The hot tub is also shared with us [mostly our kids], of course, we will give you priority of use of while you are staying with us to optimize your vacation experience while you are here at LoZa House.
We have a young golden doodle who will love you to death [if you let him], and two young children of early grade school age. We live on the upper two floors above the Adirondack floor. Although the play area is also shared with the dog (named Leone - meaning Lion in italian), he is never left outside unattended. If there is a dog loose on the property please let us know and we will bring the dog back to the neighbor's house - some neighbors have pets that find it difficult to remain on their own land [we are working on resolving this and it is getting better].
NOTE: Services available in English, Français, and Italiano.
Guests access the Coastal unit via the play area. Walk the past the wooden stairs leading up to the Adirondack Skydeck unit and take stone steps leading down.
• Plenty of local restaurants for dine-in and take-out and delivery.
• 1 hour from Montreal [need a passport], 1 hour from Lake Placid, 1 hour from Burlington/Vermont
• Home is minutes from Plattsburgh International Airport
• Please remember that you’re staying in a house, not a hotel so please treat the space with respect. We live in the main house full-time and year-round. Living on the property we can answer any questions you may have about the home or any activities the surrounding city offers within minutes. Also, we are always very quickly available to address any issues that may arise and address them very quickly - a real benefit of having the hosts on-site.
• We are a gay couple with 2 elementary school children and a very calm, friendly golden doodle dog.
If you like a more modern style with a touch of grandiose luxury surrounded by natural resources and beautiful views of the lake, the Coastal unit of LoZa House is for you.
NOTE: New for summer 2023. Threel units are located LoZa House: the Adirondack Screened-in Porch unit with its east facing views of lake and mountains, and the Adirondack Skydeck with its sunroom and Skydeck with its geodesic dome (This rooftop deck is reserved for those staying in the Adirondack Skydeck unit only) . Each unit, like yours, can sleep up to 6 people, however, from past experience, 95% of all booking have been 2-3 people only.
Great property location, views and ownership. Zero issues or complaints; very accommodating.
Lovely spot. Great hosts. Well equipped. Comfortable.
Absolutely stunning property with the kindest hosts! 10/10 :)
I can't say enough about our wonderful two-week stay at LoZa House. We have been home just a few days, and I'm already missing the sound of lapping waves, the cherry-red cardinals, the distant ferry horn! LoZa House is a special, special place, and anyone would be lucky to find this gem. The property itself is a new construction that's been meticulously cared for by Jon & Sergio. Everything is thoughtfully designed--space-savvy but also stylish and chosen, seemingly, to aid relaxation. The property is right on the water but is so new, it's sealed off from the elements. We looked at all three properties before we left since we might want to sample them all in the coming years--they're all great. The Coastal Unit was incredibly special due to the wide porch with sliding glass doors overlooking the bay. Gorgeous views, both during the sunny days and the rainstorms. The living room, kitchen, and bathroom are all perfectly stocked and maintained. Thoughtful touches everywhere. Plattsburgh itself was a great location, easy drives to Montreal, Burlington (ferry is simple & enjoyable), Fort Ticonderoga, Saranac Lake, etc. Jon, Sergio, & their family gave us privacy but were completely available for any questions or requests. Even alerted us to an especially pretty moon one night! Kid-friendly, w/ a little playground on site, and dog-friendly! I'd write a book of wonderful details if Vrbo would let me, but with a word cap, I can only say...this is the gem you've been looking for!
The Coastal Design unit at LoZa House was fantastic! Two cozy floors of peace and tranquility. The views from the HUGE sliding doors are incredible. You can enjoy the lakeview from either the balcony, which is sublime, or from inside the unit while sitting on the comfortable sofa with the doors open so it feels like you are outside. The breeze was perfect and the sound of the waves calming. Majestic! Everything was brand new, and they did not skimp on quality. The beds were super comfortable, and it was amazing to be able to see the lake views right from bed as well. Perfect! The kitchen has everything you need for a short-term stay, a small fridge with freezer on top, a small gas range, and the cutest mini-dishwasher I have ever seen. It was awesome to not have to wash dishes while on vacation. The full-size washer and dryer were convenient too. My husband had a little work-cation and used the mini-work station in the bedroom which was exactly what he needed for his computer work. We usually just go for rentals with reviews, but Jon lived up to his premier host status for his other, older Screened-in porch vacation rental unit we saw in his Youtube “LoZa House vacation rentals” video which clearly proves his superb host capabilities. He said that the quality of our stay was important to him, and you could see that it was. There are two other vacation rentals at LoZa House, the previously mentioned older Screened-in porch unit and the other newer Skydeck unit. I cannot wait
