North Hero, Vermont
Spacious, 2700 sq. ft lake house, with westerly views of Lake Champlain and Adirondaks. SATURDAY TO SATURDAY BOOKING ONLY. Our summer home is elevated on a bluff off lake. This is the best setting -it is quieter and more private. Sit on the porch and enjoy views without fisherman or kayaks nearby.
Stairs to the lake are being replaced and work will be done in spring, and the dock will be in ASAP, but likely not before May 15th. The dock is a large, floating dock with cleats for boats.
Rentals are Saturday to Saturday only. Do not book any other ranges.
The home can sleep 16, and in addition, there is a bunk house that can sleep two more on single beds, and more on the floor/air matress. It is a great spot for kids to hang out. (The total count of beds\guests does not include the bunkhouse space.)
There are stairs to the lake. The replacement of them began in the fall, and will be completed in the spring weather permitting. I cannot guarantee when they will be in place, but should be done by mid-May. Also, due to weather and lake levels, I cannot guarantee when the floating dock will be in place, but hopefully by mid-May as well. Again, I cannot guarantee when and cannot refund or make changes to reservations. Understand that if you book early in the spring, this is a risk.
Docks are removed before mid-October.
Fishing off our dock is excellent. There is a sunken barge crib that attracts many fish. Swimming off the dock is a lot of fun. At the end of the dock it is deep, especially in the earlier part of the summer.
The house faces west on the Alburg passage and as such, with the narrower passage, the waves and wind are greatly diminished from the broad lake. During the week, the lake is very quiet. During the weekends, it is busier, but with the house on a bluff, it is very enjoyable.
The original structure was built in 1924. In 2009, we completed a major overhaul. Everything was replaced except for the frame, chimney, some floors, and some siding. It was, essentially, built brand new in 2009.
On the back of the house is a large, beautiful screened in porch.
Sleeping areas are cooled with window AC units.
