Cozy one bedroom cottage located on the shores of Lake Champlain. Nestled in tall cedars on McNeil's Bay, across from the Charlotte-Essex Ferry. A spectacular location, with views of the Adirondacks across the lake. Fall asleep to the sounds of waves lapping on the shore and halyards lightly ringing on the sailboats moored in McNeil's Bay.

Views across the lake of Sloop Island and glimpses of the Adirondacks through the living-area window and spectacular views of the Adirondacks from the rocky shoreline less than 40 feet from the cottage.

Private beach, excellent location for bird watching, fishing, kayaking, sailing, standup paddle boarding and swimming. You can rent a sailboat from the Charlotte Sailing Center across the bay or you can moor your shallow-draft motor boat or sailboat in a protected spot steps from the house (trailered boats can be launched at the nearby Converse Bay Fishing Access).

This house is the perfect getaway for one person or a couple. The kitchen is small but functional. You can sit inside in the living area or on the small porch reading and/or enjoying the water, look for fossils on the rocky beach, or walk or bike on the private dirt roads. 20 minutes from the Shelburne Museum, 30 minutes from Burlington, easy access to the Green Mountains or the Adirondacks via the ferry. A favorite activity of ours is to park at the ferry dock, walk on to the ferry, ride to Essex while enjoying the breeze on the lake and the views of the High Peaks of the Adirondacks, get dinner and/or ice cream, and ride home looking at Mt. Mansfield, Camels Hump, and the rest of the Green Mountains.

A cozy simple house in a spectacular location.

    The place was clean and had everything needed to relax and also the ability to cook. It’s a really beautiful location, accurate to the description. We enjoyed our stay and would book again. It’s a great place to unplug and it was only about 30 minutes to Burlington and many great hiking locations. Host is responsive and helpful.

    Host bent over backwards to help us when I accidentally booked the wrong dates.

    This cozy little cabin in the woods overlooking Lake Champlain was a perfect, peaceful getaway from city life. On a crisp fall day I was able to see for miles- water, mountains, lovely fall colors. A perfect walking/ biking destination.The cabin had everything you’d need- a full kitchen, clean and adequately sized bathroom, a cozy and comfortable bedroom. I cannot think of any negatives!

    Our stay here was amazing. Everything was as advertised, if not better. We are already looking forward to returning and we just got back. I added some photos to help others find their perfect stay.

    Easy check-in and lovely that we could drop our bags and find the cottage in the daylight, a bit before check-in, given its location. Also helpful was that we had a crossover SUV that could handle the very remote, downhill, narrow road to the cottage — a lower vehicle might bottom out. The cottage was spotless, with a beautiful location, but if you struggle with narrow stairs, the bed location may not be suitable for you. TAKE water jugs as the water is not potable--we wish that was listed, given the need to take medications, fill water bottles, etc. Great place for the price and Charlotte is just lovely--

    We had such a restful week! We enjoyed the view of the Adirondacks, the ferry passing by. We enjoyed the sounds of the waves and sailboats at night. We look forward to returning the next summer as soon as we leave.

    A wonderful stay! Getting to the property could have been tricky; Glen sent a message with explicit instructions and it was a breeze! Check-in was easy as well. The cottage is a small walk to the rocky shoreline which is great for exploring. Glen was attentive and always ready to help if we needed anything. The cottage is an amazing build and on cooler nights you can feel the breeze off the lake. It is a quiet location and very private. I would definitely recommend whether you want to explore the local area or just get away from it all.

    We loved this remote cozy cabin on Lake Champlain. So different from most rentals. Rustic, yet comfortable, surrounded by towering cedars. Owner was very accommodating. Great place!

    Clean, simple and relaxing. Perfect for us. Sounds of the lake put you to sleep. Just to find a criticism, it’s the first vrbo we’ve stayed at that didn’t have coffee on hand. We recommend!

    This home is bright and airy. The view from the porch is 180 degrees of lake. We swam, kayaked and floated in the cool waters of Lake Champlain with complete privacy. The house is small, but has everything we wanted. The kitchen had nice quality appliances. The on-demand hot water made the showers amazing. Glen is a fabulous host. We have stayed in many camps along the lake and this is our favorite.
