Tots Cabin of Braeloch

When we arrived, the kitchen cupboards were already full—many items expired. We had to pack it all away before unpacking our own food, and then put it back when we left. Most bedroom bureaus were also packed with linens, blankets, and even sweatpants, leaving no room for our luggage.The waterfront was a major letdown. While we knew the shallow water was weedy and that beach improvements were underway, the condition was worse than expected. The kayaks were covered in sand and looked unused, broken glass lined the shore, and the beach was littered with debris—bottles, Tupperware, and even a floating 2x4 with rusty nails. The swim raft was on land, not in the water, making the area feel neglected and unwelcoming.The house also had issues. A large tear in the screen porch let in many bugs at night. We couldn’t find a dustpan to clean up the insects, and the vacuum had no cord. Many cushions and pillows in the living room and porch were torn or in poor condition.

Awesome private beach and great rustic cabin. Everything was clean and in working order, the kitchen had everything to cook, etc., the laundry was a super feature, and all in all a great place with communicative and helpful management! Would recommend!

This was an amazing rental. Nestled in a quiet rural area off the beaten path, but close to the colleges for graduation. Our family just loved our stay. Unfortunately for us, it rained our whole trip, but was a welcomed chance to slow life down and enjoy the fireplace and good conversation. Our twins graduated from Champlain college and this was an ideal location ,not too far from the expo center where the ceremony was held. The cabin was very clean and well kept for this early season rental. Owners were in constant contact if we needed anything even suggesting fun little restaurants with amazing food like the Spanked Puppy. They had great food- and drinks. Thank you owners for adding to our amazing trip to Vermont

Nice property.

Wonderful and unique property. Set in the woods overlooking the lake next to an open pasture with a classic country tennis court and sport court basketball court. Houses nearby off Vermont gravel road. Fun to see others occasionally walking dogs or playing with their kids in sport court but basically it is your private Champlain beautiful cabin in the woods. Great staircase down to Lake -52 pretty easy steps onto lake beach for skimming rocks and playing and kayaks to get out on lake. As advertised waters edge grassy so we swam at nearby Sandbar State Park which has nice sandy bottom and big lake with mountains vistas in every direction. Also nice kids playground at that beach park. If you bike at all don't miss Island Line Bike trail and use ferry to cross lake and order slices of Allenholm Farms flaky fresh from orchard allple pie withaple vanilla ice cream. Also pick up some of their Apple Taffy. Good burgers and burritos too all within a couple easy miles of bike path on South Hero Island.

Really loved the coziness of this rustic cabin, exactly what we were looking for to decompress. Great combination of indoor/outdoor living on a quiet road with a very private cove. Enjoyed the use of the kyaks for swimming and paddling out for the sunset as well as the fireplace (which we used even in July). Description and pictures were accurate and host responsive. Good selection of spices and condiments to start with as well as abundant towels and firewood. Hope to return!

Our stay at the Tots Cabin of Braeloch was nothing short of wonderful. My son and daughter enjoyed the large outside deck, equipped with comfortable hammocks, chairs, and a gorgeous view of Lake Champlain. We cooked our own food in the spacious kitchen, which was equipped with dozens of utensils and tools to assist, before enjoying dining in the adjacent covered porch. I took advantage of the gas grill several times and was pleased that there were plenty of grilling tools available. The cabin has plenty of bedrooms, all very comfortable. While not air conditioned, each room is equipped with multiple fans for circulation and cooling. Conveniently, the hosts provided a fully-stocked water-cooler. While researching VRBO properties, one of our key requirements was “two bathrooms.” This cabin has this, including a large, modern shower in one of the two bathrooms. The style is a little incongruous with the rustic cabin but it’s a REALLY nice shower – nicer than I’ve seen even in upscale hotels. The cabin is well-loaded with books, games, puzzles and a SmartTV that provides access to all major streaming services. There’s also a shared tennis court about two minutes’ walk away, where my son and I learned (using the cabin’s provided rackets and balls) that neither of us have any tennis-related skills. All in all, we had a delightful stay, and I highly recommend Tots Cabin of Braeloch to anyone visiting the area.

Tots Cabin is the perfect combination of lake side house with modern conveniences. The screened in porch overlooking the lake with a table for 8 meant we ate every meal outside; even in the rain. The location of the house was both private and part of a community. There is a private beach and the kayaks were great and easy to use. In addition, Brian and Johnny were extremely responsive to our few requests. We will definitely consider staying there again if we vacation in the Burlington area.

It was great having a wood-burning fireplace in the cool evenings and to be able to look out at the lake. Johnny Walker was very responsive the one time we called for a small matter. The house was well-equipped, too.

Tots cabin is rustic but lovely and the property and view are incredible! I highly recommend this beautiful and tranquil location if you're looking for a cozy get away. We had a lovely family and friends gathering for dinner and celebration after my sons graduation from SMC. Everyone loved the cabin and views, we had a delightful time and will return sometime in the future.
