South Hero, Vermont
Beautiful lakefront cottage on Lake Champlain with sunrise and sunset views nestled on Grand Isle between the Green Mountains and Adirondacks less than 30 minutes from Burlington, Vermont. Only 28 miles from the Canadian border and 76 miles from downtown Montreal, this is the perfect haven for relaxation, sightseeing and outdoor activities . Ideal for three season recreation, your family and friends will want to return again and again. Enjoy the quiet solitude of island living with all the comforts of home. The house sleeps 6 comfortably with an expansive deck, updated kitchen, and an open floor plan that makes social time a breeze. The gorgeous sunset is followed by your nightcap around the fire pit - planning your tomorrow filled with kayaking, biking, fishing and discovering our incredible Northern paradise!
Let's say that I was extremely tempted to rent the place for the rest of the year. It was so pretty, the owner could not have been nicer or more accommodating, and the sunsets were breathtaking. The cabin (or camp as it is called in VT) is small but plenty of room for 2 to 4 adults (the one room has twin beds which would also work for kids). It is very convenient - kayaks and life jackets are provided and the storage shed is where we stored our bikes. There is no dishwasher but that was not an inconvenience. The refrigerator was even stocked with eggs and milk and there was a basket with Vermont goodies in it. If you are not fond of reeds touching you, then it wouldn't be a swim from shore kind of experience, but there is a sandy beach a short drive from the cabin on the Sandbar Bridge which is very swimmable. We biked one day to the ferry access and back, 10-ish miles round trip. In short, a wonderful lakefront stay that has stuck with us. I sometimes close my eyes during stressful times and picture sitting on the deck watching the birds and water rippling.
This was a fantastic place to spend some time with the kids. We really enjoyed being right on the lake and spent a lot of time kayaking. The nearby bike path and bike ferry was a lot of fun.
We had a great time riding bikes, paddle boarding, reading, and exploring the area! The property was a good home base for us and it was really nice to be able to store bikes in the garage/shed.
We were very happy with our stay. The house and property worked out perfectly for 2 adults and 2 small children. Thank you
Lovely property. Perfect place on the lake. Thanks!
Breathtaking is the best description of the view from this house. It is perfectly located - a short drive could bring you to a farm stand, hike, or to Burlington for the tasty food scene. The owner was pleasant and easy to communicate with. Highly recommend South Hero for a quiet getaway.
This lakeside cottage was great for our family of 4. We enjoyed everything the property had to offer including watersports (kayaks and rowboat) and proximity to local restaurants and attractions. Seb's quickly became a favorite with the kids and we also enjoyed horseback riding on the island as well as the local winery and brewery. Apple Island marina, a few minutes away, was a fun afternoon on the lake with a pontoon rental. The host was easy to communicate with and answered questions and addressed minor issues promptly. Thanks for a great visit!
Wonderful cottage right on Lake Champlain. Had everything we need to cook meals, enjoy the lake and be close to family in Milton and all the area had to offer.
I stayed with my two boys--9 and 12. The house was perfect for us, with the master bedroom and twin beds in the other bedroom. The bathroom was quite large for the size of the house, and the extra half bath made things that much easier. The kitchen is well equipped and spacious. The house is small and an older style, but all of the furniture and bedding is newer and in great shape. Same for the floors, kitchen cabinets/countertops, and bathrooms. There were plenty of plates and silverware, and all the pots and pans you could need. The window AC unit was much appreciated the week we were there, as it was an incredibly hot week and we would have been sweltering without it. We also made ample use of the kayaks that are available. There is a large side yard that is good for yard games, throwing or kicking a ball around, etc. There is cornhole in the shed but we didn't play it. I agree with the one reviewer who said that the area out front is not great for swimming, which was very unfortunate given the heat we experienced. Most days, we just paddled around the little point to an area that was less weedy, but that meant getting in and out of kayaks in the middle of the lake...much easier for a couple of young boys than it was for this 45-year-old mama! But overall, it's a great location right on the lake and really easy for getting kayaks and paddleboards in and out of the water, which was really what we were there for anyway! This was a great house and we would definitely stay there again.
Wonderful accommodations and will likely stay again in future!
