    This was our first time visiting Lake Champlain and we couldn’t have picked a better host! Lori did a fantastic job welcoming us, showing us the property and getting us acclimated to the area. We all enjoyed paddling around on the lake, checking out the small island, and the kids caught tons of fish. The large yard was perfect for wiffle ball tournaments and corn hole. The views were amazing and the fire pit was a great way to end the days. Thank you so much for allowing us to experience your beautiful property!!

    This is the perfect family get away! Minutes to canada, short drives to all of northern VT. The best part of our stay were the stunning lake views and outstanding fishing, we caught over 20 fish many 4lbs and had a blast using the large variety of water craft!!!!

    My husband and I made a last-minute decision to visit Vermont after Hurricane Milton messed with our plans for the Keys. The house is in a beautiful setting right on Lake Champlain, secluded and quiet. It is literally two miles from the Canadian border. That being said, it is also quite a drive to any other destinations that might be of interest. A couple of little issues arose, but they were addressed quickly. Since we were visiting in mid-fall, the one irritating thing was the lack of sufficient lighting. Overall an enjoyable stay.

    If you like nature this place is it !!!! Lori was amazing she welcomed us with open arms, her place has amazing views and the house was perfect. I have never seen a rental more packed with stuff we didn’t need to bring anything with us we were well entertained while visiting. Lori knows the area well and was able to make good suggestions on where to go! It was handicap accessible which was a huge bonus for us! The views for watching the sunset were awesome. For a rental we felt as if we were at home we weee 6 adults and 3 kids and everyone was able to enjoy everything together. Thank you Lori for this unforgettable weekend we made many unforgettable memories! Families Fallon/Ocain/Desmarais

    The house and property have everything. There is lots to do for the whole family. We loved exploring the lake on kayaks. They had enough PFDs and kayaks/paddle boards for all 10 of us with some left over. The beach was a bit mucky and not great for swimming there but still easy to get the kayaks out to a vast lake. The view from the yard is fabulous especially at sunset. Again the house is well stocked with supplies for cooking, sitting around the firepit or playing a game. The hosts started us off well by meeting us at the house to give us a tour. We loved our trip to Lake Champlain.

    The house and yard is on a hill over looking a beautiful view of Lake Champlain. The host has many comfortable outdoor seating options and a bunch of outdoor games. The house is very comfortable with all of the modern conveniences. We have never had a better more accessible host that really tried to make sure that you had the knowledge to enjoy not only the property but the surrounding area. You are 2 miles from the Canadian border and easy access to an interstate so exploring is easy. Although there is some highway noise when in the yard, it feels very secluded. It is just what my wife and I were looking for!

    If you would like a quiet, relaxing, peaceful, and fun stay on Lake Champlain then this is the place for you. The property is beautiful and once you get the lay of the land, it is easy to navigate back and forth down to the water and kayaks. Our whole family enjoyed our time out in the water even though it was high and a little choppy at times. The house itself is a little dated, but suited our needs perfectly. The beds were quite comfortable and the living spaces gave everyone the opportunity to spread out and/or come together for games and fun. This is the most well supplied house we have ever stayed at. It had everything we needed for cooking, grilling, storing food etc.Plenty of towels, bathroom supplies, laundry supplies etc. It really was awesome. The owner is extremely responsive and helped us with a couple of hiccups in a very timely manner. Didn’t interfere with our trip at all. Consider spending your next trip to Vermont here! You won’t be sorry.

    First off…Lori is an amazing host! The property itself has so much to do. Tons of outdoor activities and plenty of space throughout the fully equipped house. Great house to unwind with the family away from everything!!

    We had a wonderful family gathering. The yard provided plenty of room for the children to play. We enjoyed the views of the Bay and western sky. The large dining room table was very accommodating. The property was all we hoped for. Thanks Lori.
