Cozy Lake Champlain Cottage w/ Private Beach!

This is a lovely little cottage that was perfect for my husband and I, two adult daughters and granddaughter. The waterfront was fine, if not a little weedy and algae prone, but was nice and calm and the paddle boards and kayaks were lovely to use. The house was clean and generally well stocked. We could've used a few more storage containers. The one thing I think that was a little misrepresented was that the amenities said air conditioning. There was one air conditioner in the master bedroom. There were lots of fans around and ceiling fans in every room but during the first two nights when it was very hot it got stuffy. A heat pump in the main room would've been ideal. Overall it was a lovely place to stay and I would stay there again, absolutely!

The cottage was lovely and had an ideal location on the lake. When there were breezes off the lake, it was quite nice. Wonderful view. The kitchen was well-equipped. Very nice to have access to the kyaks. The house could use a split system. AC is limited to one bedroom. Also, the light switches could use labels. There are a lot of light switches and it is confusing.

Great house with everything you need. Beach area was great for the kids with sandy bottom and very gradual slope. Overall we had a great week!

This is an amazing house! Gorgeous scenery outside and beautiful touches and details inside. It was also incredibly clean and well maintained! Our family of 6 were so happy to have stayed here. If this property is available for your booking window, don’t let it escape - you won’t regret it!

This property was amazing. The views and proximity of the lake made this a very special stay for my sister and I. The house was warm and inviting and was very comfortable. She comes up to VT every year from CT and we always rent a place in North Hero. This was by far the best rental property we ever rented!

The location and the space was absolutely perfect for our family. Bed was so comfortable and great space for family to gather. With access to lake! We will be back

Great location, good clean cabin, no washer & dryer, but other then that good stay.

Our host contact Chris did everything in his power to ensure that our stay was successful. The cabin has a few problems, the main one being that the front door is not squared & it only opens 1/3 of the full opening. The step in/out of the cabin is inaccurate in the rise (depth/height), There is no washer/dryer for guest use. Read your listings carefully as I did not. Only after booking, discovered there were no such facilities. The house was very damp and cold, due to the time of year. Unfortunately, neither baseboard heat system or the gas fireplace were working. Chris provided us with 3 portable radiator-style oil filled heaters to help keep the dampness away. The kitchen appliances are very old & lighting was terrible for food prep, cooking & cleaning up afterwards. I was told that there will be a new kitchen in 1-2 years. The beautiful hard wood floors are showing signs of warping and buckling in many places from the climate changes. The cabin’s Great Room and dining area are beautifully photogenic and is a lovely area to sit. The large TV was a plus for my husband but the tiny loveseat does not allow for more than 2 and was very uncomfortable. Thankfully, both of the bedrooms’ furniture and soft goods were very comfortable. The master bathroom was bright & cheery w/ 4 large windows that overlooked Lake Champlain. The large shower was also very accommodating. All in all, it was a pleasant stay & served our needs.

We had a fantastic time at the holiday hideout (our second time here!) the house has everything needed and is in the perfect location. We enjoyed the private beach, made s’mores with the outdoor fire pit, went kayaking and paddle boarding, took a day trip to Burlington, and visited the local state parks. It’s so peaceful at the house and we can’t wait to come back again.

The place was roomy and clean. Chris, the owner and the Evolve Team were quick to respond and accommodating when requesting a date change as we had a family matter that our friends had and could not make the original booked dates. I was thrilled that another date was available for us. We enjoyed the kayaks and trampoline...so much fun. The master bed was very comfy but come sun-rise, the sun does shine into that window. I would suggest installing shades for the two bedroom windows. Since we've had a lot of rain, we brought a few pieces of wood for burning and news paper. I would suggest having a fire poker handy for the outdoor firepit, newspaper to start the fire and a grill lighter. The only other suggestion would be to ask the cleaners to hose out the back sliding door jam and sweep or blow the leaves off the back deck as there were quite a few cob webs and dirt in the door jam. I'm sure it's because we've had a lot of rain lately. We went to the North Hero Marina and had a great lunch and good beer selection at Drifters restaurant. I believe it use to be called the Tiki Bar but now under new management. Service and wait staff are friendly and happy to be there. It's a gorgeous spot to watch the coming and going of boats. Other than that, it was a great stay and I've already booked for next year. Thank you for such a fun stay Chris.
