Cozy, clean, and had all we needed

Stayed here with a group of friends for a local pond hockey tournament. House had all we could ask for, was clean, comfortable and location was perfect between the Lake and Burlington. Kyle was quick to communicate with, accommodated our late check out request and helped make our trip easy and that much more fun. Highly recommend his place - quite clear it’s the perfect spot to enjoy during any time of the year!

Lake Champlain House

This lake house accommodated our family of 8 comfortably. Each of our adult children with their partners had a comfortable, clean bedroom to themselves. The kitchen was very well equipped, we enjoyed creating several family dinners in this space. As we visited during a hot week we spent a lot of time in the lake which is accessed down a several tier staircase onto a huge dock. Lake Champlain is a wonderful clear, temperate, fresh lake. With the water toys offered it was very relaxing and everyone was happy.

Best summer vacation spot on the lake!

Absolutely loved this house, location and spot on the lake! The house had every amenity we could think of but was not cluttered. The kitchen especially was well stocked with utensils, platters, etc. The lake was clean and the dock made for great swimming. The location is private, in a nice wooded area but also a conveniently close to the highway. We enjoyed opening up all of the windows and getting a breeze from the lake. Both Kyle and the housekeeper made us feel welcome. I would rent this house again in a heartbeat.

Lovely house, fabulous setting. Note: The fireplace is featured in the photos, in fact the description list two fireplaces and firewood, yet once you arrive guest are asked not to use them. This should be clarified.

A trip down memory lane

The views are spectacular, the water is amazing. The home is well kept and very comfortable for my family of 6 (children, 20. 18, 16, 14) with in-laws in tow. My wife and I graduated from two local colleges and we wanted to visit Burlington after being away for 20+ years but we wanted lake front. This home is outstanding, it's very quiet which is what we wanted. Overall, a spectacular find for my first VRBO experience.

Ringing in the New Year!

The cabin was everything we had hoped for - we especially enjoyed the beautiful lake views. We had a bald eagle pay a visit and enjoyed watching it fly around. It was great to sit around the wood burning stove and watch a movie and see the snow fall outside. We even warmed up in the hot tub and walked through the snow with our barefeet! The neighboring towns were great to visit, Burlington, Stowe and Winooski all still decorated with holiday lights. We were very comfortable in the house and are already planning a visit next year. Thank you it was great!

Rebecca V., Where do you live?

Great property

Ours was a party of 5: 2 adults, 2 college students, and 1 high schooler. The house was perfect for us. Plenty of room, an Apple TV that we hooked up to our laptop to watch the pathetic presidential debate, a well-stocked kitchen, and the most beautiful scenery. The house was clean and comfy. The location was especially great...far off the main road, but with easy access to the highway so that we could visit Burlington and go apple picking at Shelburne Orchard. So while we felt secluded (a positive for us), in actuality, we were near all the attractions that interested us. Kyle provides a binder full of helpful information as well as instructions for things on the property. He really has made it so that all you have to do is pay the rent, pick up after yourself, and enjoy. We would definitely stay here again. I would love to go back in the summer, when the dock is out and we could enjoy lake activities.

Beautiful Location

We booked this lake house for a short vacation. It is situated on a private lot with direct lake access and beautiful views. We had a couple of hiccups during our stay but Kyle was wonderful to work with and quickly made everything right. We enjoyed our stay and would recommend this property to anyone who wants to spend tranquil days by the lake.

Great Home with Amazing Location!

We were visiting the area for the long holiday weekend, and could not have stayed at a better place! The house was clean and spacious. The kitchen was great, and we cooked steaks on the grill. If you want an amazing view, this house is for you. We spent each night sitting outside listening to the water, and enjoying the fresh air. If you appreciate the outdoors, this is the spot!

Everything you nerd

Love this place! Second time here, and was able to take advantage of everything, the dock, the kayaks, the hot tub, and of course the house. Proximity to Burlington is ideal for a fatty trip while the property provides plenty of privacy. Sleeping arrangements did the trick, with 5 of us in the loft amongst the two beds and 3 air mattresses (provided by the property). Cannot recommend this property highly enough!
