This loft-style lake house is located on a shale bluff on Hog Island in Swanton, Vermont and boasts absolutely phenomenal sunsets. It is designed for a relaxing, couples or single family vacation in a nature rich environment.

Open year-round, the house has a fireplace (propane), fire pit on the beach, great swimming water, 2 kayaks/lifejackets/paddles, Wifi (XFINITY Gig), washer/dryer, and air conditioning. It has hot water baseboard heating for year-round warmth.

The house wasbuilt in 2022 and has a queen-sized master bedroom, full bath, and a loft with two twin beds.

The kitchen has a large refrigerator, stove, microwave, and a dual function keurig (k-cup or drip).

The living room has a 75 inch SMART TV, 2x barrel chairs that swivel, and a comfortable couch with side-by-side recliners.

The waterfront deck has a grill, dining table and umbrella, and an outdoor loveseat and coffee table.

Linens/towels (beach and bath)/plates/glasses/coffee cups/Keurig (k-cups/drip dual function)/ground coffee/grill/ propane all included.

It's a great, relaxing location 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.

There are two public boat launches nearby (West Swanton Boat Access .2 miles and Tabor Point Boat Ramp 4.2 miles).

In addition, the house is just steps from Hog Island Market where fishing equipment, bait, fishing license, ice, beer, wine, and groceries are all available.

Campbell's Bay Campground (~5mi) is also close by for Pontoon, Motor Boat, or Canoe rentals.

West Swanton Orchard (1mi) is a great stop for apples, soft ice cream and souvenirs.

Green Mountain Stables is directly across the road where visitors can watch the horses training or take riding lessons, and Missisquoi National Wildlife Refuge Visitor Center is also just one mile away.

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

For those who want a bit more adventure, the Canadian border is just 4 miles north. There is a nice small, waterfront town with several great restaurants called Venice en Quebec just across the border. Montreal is also only one hour north so bring your passports.

    Firstly, the house was absolutely beautiful. We were kind of sad when we had to leave. Secondly, the owner was so thoughtful and considerate. We were supplied with everything, far more than what I was expecting. We had K-cups to cutleries, serving trays, bathroom needs, and more. The place was decorated for the holiday seasons which made it even more cozy and festive. We had some issues with the fireplace and heating but other than that we loved being there, especially during a winter storm! Can't wait to back during the warmers seasons.

    This was one of the more comfortable stays that I've experienced in a vacation rental.Josie was an accommodating and friendly host. There are a lot of thoughtful touches to this place such as lamps with warm lighting in the living room that add a cozy touch after you turn off the ceiling lights. The sunsets and sunrises are really beautiful. The location is near a friendly store. I recommend this home for anytime of year.

    The cabin was small but so cute - set up really well! We loved having the lake right there, at the bottom of our steps. The sunset view was priceless. The kitchen had the essentials for cooking, and the hosts provided a stash of bottled water for us to drink. We used the kitchen and the outdoor grill, so meals were easy. There was no dishwasher, but dishwashing supplies were provided. The hosts were friendly and answered our questions. It's a quiet spot, in the middle of farmland, just a short drive from some cute towns and about an hour into the mountains. (We drove Smugglers Notch into Stowe - beautiful!)

    We loved staying in this cozy little lake house. It was perfect for my husband and I. It was so nice watching the sun rise and set over the lake. It was very peaceful there and we always got a good nights sleep. We packed a lot into 3 days. Great communication with host. Looking forward to when we can get back to Vermont.

    The house was perfect for my wife and I. Our stay was relaxing with short trips during the day and watching beautiful sunsets from the patio in the evening. Vermont has a wonderful vibe and we experienced it first hand while staying at bluff house.

    This is our second day at the house and once again we had a wonderful visit. House is clean well stocked for cooking, clean beds and bathroom and a classic A-frame style. Direct access off the back deck down to the water was key as we ice fished directly behind the house. I would recommend this property to anybody looking for getaway in northern Vermont..

    This is our second time staying here and absolutely loved it just as much as the first. We took our kids this trip and the loft on top was perfect for them. Everything about the place was beautiful and well taken care of. Josie is also very quick to respond to messages. Will definitely be staying here again next visit!

    This was the perfect place for a quick getaway to the Burlington Vermont area (Swanton). The cabin is nearly new and is very quaint. It has everything you need for your stay - a Keurig/coffee maker, a great selection of pots and pans, water in the frig, comfortable beds, a large TV, a beautiful deck and views from every window. I would highly recommend this cabin. Josie, the owner, was terrific with communication as well.

    We stayed for 2 nights in this beautiful home. It’s a peaceful neighborhood and views are stunning. Everything was nicely appointed, kitchen was fully stocked and lots of hot water!! Sheets in the bedroom were very soft and we slept great. I would highly recommend a stay if you’re interested in a vacation on lake Champlain for a small group. The owner is very responsive and helpful. Great stay!!

    Great spot right on the water include kayaks and canoe's for the family. Location is great for trips into Canada including Montreal and Parc Safari, also close to attractions like Burlington and Ausable Chasm. Plenty of places to eat in nearby St Albans. Perfect place for a family trip and host was excellent. Hopefully return someday!

    My family of four (adult children) found the property to have everything we could’ve needed. Beautiful view and sunsets. House was extremely clean, well stocked. Road The house is on is wonderful to bike on. Canadian border very close Highly Recommend. Only comment- is that water doesn’t taste great so plan to buy or bring your own.

    The home was easy to find (with GPS) and check in was a breeze. It had everything we needed. We were looking for a place to relax which we found. It’s a bit of a drive to get anywhere but there isn’t any traffic so that wasn’t a problem.
