Oyster Haven is a renovated circa 1830 farmhouse that combines vintage charm with all the modern conveniences, including a state-of-the-art gourmet kitchen with two ovens and an enormous central island perfect for large family gatherings.
Located on the shore of Lake Champlain, this immaculate and comfortable vacation home boasts an acre and a half of property that includes a deck, a large patio with a fire pit, and a grassy yard that stretches out to where stairs lead down to a private beach. With 250 feet of lake frontage, a dock, two kayaks, a canoe, a stand-up paddle board, and a mooring for those who wish to bring or rent a motorboat or sailboat, guests can find a whole host of outdoor activities without ever leaving the back yard.
Located very close to the Adirondack Mountains, enjoy hiking in the summer and outstanding skiing on Whiteface Mountain in the winter. The Fall also provides for breathtaking leaf turning color!
So much history in the area, with museums featuring the Revolutionary War and War of 1812. The portion of the lake off our back yard was the site of the Battle of Valcour of the Revolutionary War! Attractions nearby include Ausable Chasm with rafting (even white water), tours, and even rock climbing. The area has a winery tour and a current explosion of craft breweries to visit. We have a connection with The Valcour Brewing Company located in The Old Stone Barracks on the old Plattsburgh Air Force Base.
For those planning a wedding in the area, we are located right next door to the Valcour Conference Center which hosts year round weddings and receptions. Our home is a short walk to this venue and perfect for housing out of town wedding guests.
Oyster Haven is a wonderful family getaway. Tim and Laura have thought of everything to make the stay as relaxing and fun as possible. We’ll definitely be back again.
Can’t say enough. Beautiful property and views. Perfect for active family. Very private. Home nicely childproof. Lots of space. Owners clearly thought of many little things that made our stay very comfortable. Loved it and hope to return!
Everything we needed was there, great yard and beach and house!!!!
There were 9 of us and we had plenty of room. Tim was easy to reach and was a great host. The kids loved the kayaks and all the games. The beds were very comfortable and we loved all the outdoor seating. We spent most of our time on our boat and exploring Valcour island.
This was our second stay at your property. What an amazing place!! The improvements to the beach and steps were awesome. The beach and location is amazing. We’re so grateful for a wonderful time!
The house was large and very nicely decorated. Kids enjoyed the ping pong in the basement. The views from the backyard were beautiful. The owners were very responsive and helpful both before, during, and after our stay. I gave only 4 stars because we are light sleepers, and house is situated close to a busy highway and a train also passed through the area several times a night. Also, if you are considering bringing a dog, we found out that the shore is lined with burr plants that became tangled easily in our doodles coat and we could not have them at the waters edge. It was October so not sure if they are there in the summer months as well. The private waterfront access would be very nice in the summer!
Great House in great location.
This was our second summer staying for a week at Oyster Haven. Our multi generation group enjoyed every aspect of the property. The outside space can’t be beat - from the expansive back yard to the private beach area with use of kayaks and a canoe. We all love this property!
We have stayed on Lake Champlain before, but this property was even better. The house was very spacious, very clean, and very homey. We came with another family with 6 kids (11-17yrs) between us. We enjoyed the tubes, boogie boards, kayaking, canoeing, and SUPs. Great outdoor spaces. It’s the perfect place for a family lake vacation. We hope to rent this property again! Thank you!
We loved our stay at Oyster Haven. The house was comfortable, spacious, and accommodated four couples nicely. There were so many places to gather to eat, hang out, and play games, and the lake view was absolutely stunning. Groceries and supplies were close by in Plattsburgh, and there was so much to see and do within a short drive. We recommend this home to anyone looking for a relaxing lakefront getaway. Thanks for a great stay!
Great stay, our visit was a fishing trip for our grandson's graduation. One of his fishing goals was to catch a pike. He accomplished that goal during our stay at Oyster Haven. It’s hard to describe how excited he was. We had a great time .
I cannot say enough good things about this property and it’s host! The pictures do not do it justice, the house is big and spacious and homey. It included everything we needed. The fire pit, yard, and lake were literal perfection. We kayaked, paddle boarded and just enjoyed our time being outdoors. My 8 year old particularly loved the kids room off the kitchen and the ping pong!! We ventured out to Ausable Chasm and a few breweries in the area but we all just wanted to enjoy the house and the perfect weather we had. We had to reach out to the hosts and Tim was kind, responded quickly and such a nice gentleman. If your on the fence about this house, don’t be. It’s perfect!
Oyster Haven is a great place to stay. Clean, well-kept and plenty of amenities. Also close to places of interest like Ausable Chasm.
My family and I had a great time at this lake house. Overall was a great place accommodating all of us (kids and adults). We made use of the kayaks and other items on the outside shed, kids and adults we all had fund using them and being on the water. The water was still too cold for some of us but that did not stop us from being on it. The only suggestion would be to update the stove, its workable but it could be upgraded to meet the needs of those of us who enjoy cooking variety.
This was a beautiful Farm house on a spacious piece of property which has all the necessary amenities. It was clean and ready to enjoy as we truly did.
