Grocery store nearby; supermarket in Vergennes.
On their grounds is the Maritime Museum, presenting important underwater nautical artifacts from the Revolutionary War and the War of 1812, where Lake Champlain figured prominently in the early history of the United States.

There is plenty to do for the active, sports-minded; and it is an ideal spot for quiet relaxation and serenity. Fully equipped kitchen with wonderful lakeviews. Fall Foliage season is a beautiful time at New England's best kept secret!

best I have found

I have rented a number of times from VRBO, and this is my favorite. The location is not only physically beautiful, but the area is friendly, safe, and feels like home. The house is spacious, appointed with everything you could need, soap, tons of towels, a great kitchen, coffee filters and on and on. (and even better now, I left the stuff I took, not expecting there to be those things) There are lots of toys, a great back deck, great beds, and comfortable space for 10 adults. Also, it was spotlessly clean. I will happily stay here again. Thanks!

The first thing you notice when you enter this home is that it is sparklingly clean. You go on to realize that it is fully stocked with new towels, kitchen gadgets - everything you need. There is an overhead fan in each room - beds are very comfortable and bathrooms seem to be brand new. Nothing disappointed! The location is terrific, and the views of the sunset are magical. I would highly recommend this rental - just not for the week that we hope to go back!

We have been renting this beautiful cottage on the shore of Lake Champlain for many years and can't say enough about it. The cottage has been beautifully renovated and decorated, the lawn is large and flat, the proximity to Basin Harbor club is ideal for those looking for an afternoon cremee, and the view of the evening sunsets can't be surpassed! We look forward to returning year after year!

Breathtaking views and sunsets highlight this beautiful Lake Champlain location. Our large family has enjoyed the experience of staying at this Mile Point location for many years now and are eager to return every time. The newly redecorated and renovated house looked great!

A Wonderful Family Vacation

This was our second year staying at this property and we, again, thoroughly enjoyed our time. The house was spotless when we arrived and well-appointed. We were able to start our vacation right away. We brought our young children and our elderly grandmother and the location was perfect for all of us. We never had to worry. The lake was spectacular, perfect for swimming and boating. The neighbors were also a pleasure. We will be returning next year.

This is the most delightful home. Large enough for our big family. Right on the lake with wonderful sunsets and views of the New York Adirondack Mountains. Large comfy rooms and a great kitchen full of cooking bowls and windows that fill the room with sunshine. Wonderful Wonderful home!

I just wanted to thank you so much for renting your wonderful house to us. We had an extremely restful vacation and enjoyed the spectacular beauty of the setting. A blast was had by all, from our babies right on up to my 95 year old grandmother. It was so wonderful, we hope to be able to rent it again next year!

We had a wonderful family vacation in this idyllic setting. The views were spectacular and there was so much to do, no one was ever bored. The house, lawn, and beach were perfect for all ages and everything was very clean and well-appointed.

Our family and friends have been renting this home for the past 6 years. We love the location on the lake, the proximity to Basin Harbor Club and the overall feel of the property. The neigbbors are all friendly and ready to assist should you need any help. We highly recommend this property for a scenic and peaceful vacation.
