Unreal Sunsets At Lake Champlain Cottage

I would classify this property as a hunting/fishing lodge. Old, dusty smell when entering. Windows were dirty & some were nonfunctional. The shower is very small & slippery, no grab bars for safety. On a positive, the beds were comfortable & clean. Ceiling fans were a blessing. The scenic view was blocked with bushes, which I think are supposed to be a buffer from the well used road traffic sounds. We were attending a family reunion in the area & that was a wonderful time. We will be looking to stay at another property next year. Thank you David for your prompt replies to my questions, the bottle of wine & maple candies.

The cottage space, location, amenities, Lake view and access, and comfort were just a few positives that made our stay so wonderful. The large fenced-in backyard was particularly special for our pup. David was a 5 star host who was thoughtful and accommodating. Hope to return next summer. Thank you David!

The house is very uncomfortable- the seating in the living area was very old and has seen better days. The beds had mattresses that were old and lumpy. One of the beds had more than two mattresses and a topper. A sign that it’s time for a new mattress set! The mattress in another room was sagging and also lumpy. If you tried to sit on the edge you realized that the box spring underneath was smallest which made the top mattress unstable. Some of the porch chairs were falling apart where they were attached to the frame. The carpet was old and didn’t seem very clean. The windows were dirty and filled with bugs. The furniture and beds need to be replaced with new comfortable pieces. The steps leading to the lake had poison ivy in them. Overall it seems like the place needs a total refresh. With no airflow it would be recommended to have air conditioning or at least multiple window fans. The two positive things are that it’s dog friendly and close to the lake. Overall we were six adults and none of us liked the place.

This lovely lake house was perfect for a get-away. The host had absolutely everything we needed, from shampoo and soap to dishes and pans! The fenced backyard was perfect for my pup, who enjoyed a daily visit by the neighboring cows. The property also has two very long clotheslines for your clothes. With the lake breeze it made the laundry experience a pleasure! The wifi worked great, as well as all of the appliances, etc., as listed. The window by the dining table offers a spectacular view of the lake! As a recommendation to guests, the back bedroom on the left is on the lake side and offers a wonderful breeze through the windows if you open them. It makes for perfect sleep. We will be back!

Very comfortable and clean cottage. The fenced yard was great for our pups. Traffic on the street between the cottage and the Lake was really the only negative. The speed limit is 45 and cars were constantly speeding on W. Shore Road.

Property Manager communication was excellent accommodating us on a short notice. The cabin seemed like it hadn't been open in a while. It was a little musty when we first arrived.

Enjoyed our stay at this wonderful area. The communication with David was timely and helpful. He provides guests with a great list of things about his lake home and community establishments. We checked out five and each spot, the staff were so welcoming. Sunsets are spectacular. The fire pit was nice although Mother Nature did not totally cooperate. The fishing was very good and large mouth bass were plentiful. We fell in love with this area of Laje Champlain.

We enjoyed our time at Lake Champlain. The property is great for traveling with a dog due to the fenced in yard. We enjoyed the grill, fire pit and access to the lake. The shower was on the small side. David was helpful and responsive when contacted. Thanks!

We had a great stay at this cozy cottage. The property was beautiful with great views of the lake and sunsets in the front and pasture and cows in the back! David the host was helpful and responsive! Would highly recommend!

We enjoyed the stay it was quiet and relaxing..
