My husband and I stayed at this wonderful cottage for a week in July 2023. The cottage was even better than what the pictures indicated; extremely clean and nicely furnished and decorated. The view of Lake Champlain and the mariner could not be beat. Hopefully we will get back next year. Thanks for letting us share your home. Pat and Roger
The cottage was just as advertised and Karen was always available and accommodating. Our pup was so happy and enjoyed the spacious side yard and laying on the deck and staring out on the water. Some days were very hot and it was wonderful to have the water to cool off in. Our kids loved kayaking and playing on the water. Thank you for sharing your property! Would love to return to this little gem :)
Karen was a dream host! The property was very clean and well equipped. Having the two kayaks available was great. My only criticism has to do with with the Plattsburgh area, which left me underwhelmed.
Myself, my husband and our 2 kids (ages 8 & 11) had a wonderful stay at this cottage. The location is great right next to a lovely state park with a beach and nice hiking trails for the kids. The view over Lake Champlain is amazing! You can see the mountains in Vermont and it's just beautiful. We also enjoyed using the kayaks. We took day trips to Ausable Chasm, the Lake Placid area and Burlington, VT via the ferry. Karen was great to work with and very responsive. We would definitely stay again!
My husband and I and our two teenage boys and our dog truly enjoyed the stay. The cottage is very clean and cozy. It has everything you need. The kayaks were huge bonus for my boys. The best part is the breathtaking view! We could never get tired of it. The owner was very helpful and easy to communicate with. It was hard for all of us to leave. We're already talking about going back there next summer. Can't wait!
Lovely cottage on Lake Champlain. Enjoyed our stay and hope to come back.
My husband, dog, and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay here! From the beginning to the end- Karen was easy to work with and very easy to communicate with. She reached out with helpful information and responded back fast as well. We even got to meet her one day when she was at the property next door and she was super nice. The views were amazing, they did not disappoint. The house was equipped with everything you need. Towels, hand soap, dish detergent, all pots/pans, plates and cutlery, some spices and oil, chairs outside. The TV is a smart TV and you can log into your streaming sites. Plus much more. The neighborhood was great too. There’s a lot to do close by. My husband went on a fishing trip with a guide, we hiked at the state park a few minutes away, we took the ferry over to Burlington, VT, and we checked out the local ice cream place (only 7 minutes away, The Happy Pike). It was a great, relaxing stay!!
Karen's cottage was absolutely perfect for our weekend away! We loved watching the sunrise over the beautiful view of the Vermont mountains every morning :) It was amazing being able to take our dog for hikes at Pointe Au Roche State Park just down the road from the cottage. 10/10 would recommend!
This was the perfect property for our long weekend! Exceptionally clean, comfortable and with all of the basics that one would need. Fall asleep to the sound of the waves! No traffic, no sirens, no planes and no trains- peace and quiet-a nice break from city life. Great communication from the owners as well. Gorgeous views of the lake and Point Au Roche State Park is 5 minutes away for hiking around the lake. Whiteface Mountain and Lake Placid only an hour away, an easy side trip. We would definitely visit again.
We stayed for almost two weeks, and if you knew me, you’d know it’s not my habit to stay in one location on vacation. But what a location! I sat for hours enjoying an unsurpassed view of the lake, the mountains, the boaters, etc. the cottage offered everything we needed! Already wishing I could go back.
