South Hero, Vermont
Carver Cottage is only 20 ft from the water's edge and provides the infinity pool effect when sitting in the living room. You feel like you're surrounded by water - it's so close. The sounds of water splashing on the shoreline below lull you to sleep at night and during the day if you so please. Its proximity to the water with its spectacular views makes this property extra special.
The sun-filled open floor plan with lake and mountain views is hard to beat. The main living space has a heat pump for AC cooling in the warm months and taking the chill off in the fall. A full sectional couch plus additional seating are more than enough room for everyone to have a cozy spot to read or watch their favorite shows on the full size TV.
Please note, the house now has a 15 foot screened bi-fold door overlooking the lake. This allows unobstructed view from the dusks at dawn to the gorgeous western sunsets. More photos coming soon!
Dining is available at the island, the dining table or outside on the patio.
The house has two king bedrooms plus a daybed in the main living space. All linens, towels and pillows are included for your convenience.
Sandy bottom beach is also a rare find in the Champlain Islands. Shared swim raft for lounging with mooring for boats. Paddleboard and kayak included. Pets are welcome although we ask that they are always supervised and not left home alone for long stretches.
This fully insulated year round cottage is so beautiful any time of year, you'll want to move to this quiet little oasis year round! Enjoy evening fires on the patio above the waters edge. Breakfast off the living room on the attached patio will be your dining room for the week if the weather cooperates. I can't say enough about the comfort of this house with its breathtaking western Adirondack views.
We loved our stay at this charming home! The home was well-stocked with essentials and we had a very comfortable stay. The view of the lake cannot be beat, and we spent every night out on the patio with the fire pit. The hosts are easy to reach and helpful. We highly recommend this home.
Lovely house on the shores of Lake Champlain. Spacious, comfortable, elegant, with all the amenities we needed to enjoy our vacation. We were able to kayak and paddle board from the property’s own landing. There’s an outdoor shower for convenience. Stunning sunsets, quiet time by the fire pit at night, napping in the hammock. Burlington downtown and Ethan Allen’s homestead are good places to visit. Shelburne Museum is less than an our away, and definitely worth a visit. Montreal is about 1.5 hours away, easy, pleasant day trip. Thank you Deb and Andrew for hosting us!
Exactly as described and would recommend. Very friendly neighbors and great views of mountains and lake.
The property is located in a private, quiet area and offers beautiful sunsets. The owner is very nice and responsive. Highly recommend this spot.
Responsive host. Clean home with great location. Ideal spot.
We had a most lovely time at this cottage. Having never been to the Champlain Islands, the cottage provided a perfect location for enjoying and exploring the area. We saw amazing sunsets, had such fun swimming out front of the cottage, taking bike adventures to nearby farms and just relishing the week we spent there. We highly recommend staying here!
A very nice open floor plan with lots of windows facing the lake. The water is very clear here with a sandy bottom, something most frontage does not have.
We have so many wonderful things to say about Deb and Andrew's lake-front getaway. My parents were in town visiting Vermont for the first time and this location showcased everything springtime has to offer: farm stands, water sports, island historical sites, great local food. Lake breezes kept the rooms cool and we loved the outdoor space for spending time with friends and family. We also appreciated that the home is pet-friendly (& still extremely clean)! Plenty of supplies to last the week including filtered water. The hammock, fire pit, and outdoor shower were extra special touches. The bay is quite shallow for most boats, so renters should know that the mooring will be far from the beach. We decided not to bring our fishing boat up. Perfect for SUP and kayak. Would recommend to friends or stay again anytime!
This place was such a perfect location for a vacation with the beautiful lake right outside your door and spectacular sunsets every evening. Our two labs just loved the water and relaxing on the patio or living room floor watching the lake activity as much as we did. The house was very comfortable with everything you need. There is so much to do in the area. The bike path crossing the lake from South Hero down to Burlington and back was a wonderful experience. All the local folks were very friendly and helpful. Deb and Andy were very responsive to our questions and delivered more bottled water when we needed it. Looking forward to returning next year and extending our stay to two weeks. Thanks Deb and Andy for sharing your beautiful place!
I cannot say enough good things about this property, or the owners. Very clean and tidy on arrival. Stocked with all the basic necessities and more: all the kitchenware you could need, plenty of linens and towels, awesome gas grill...I could go on and on. Prime location, with tons of lakefront and an impressive view. I also use a large power wheelchair, and this house was SO much more accessible than I ever would’ve thought possible for a random rental. Beautiful ramp to the front door, wide open floor plan, one level. Interior doorways are a tad narrow, but I could still squeeze through. And the lakeside patio is 100% accessible by going around the house. Hosts/owners are terrific people. Extremely genuine, accommodating and easy to reach. Rent this property!
