The location right on the causeway to South Hero made biking and walking easy and fun, even with young kids. Spectacular sunsets. Clean and cozy house. Lake access with warm water and a shallow bay were also great for the kids. Really great place for a family vacation.

Lovely camp

My family and I had a great time at the lake. The camp was well maintained. The view was amazing and the shallow cove was perfect for the kids to swim in safely.

Wonderful cabin and views!

The cabin is well -equipped with everything you can think of. We enjoyed biking the rail trail and kayaking in the lake. The fireworks were lovely and it was nice to swim at the beach. We enjoyed meeting and talking to the owners who are very nice people. Thanks for a wonderful stay!

Great sunsets, very close to bike path. Gets a lot of sunshine in afternoon which is nice. Steps to beach are steep, just keep an eye on little ones.

Cottage/camp on Lake Champlain

The camp was exactly what we were looking for and the property matched its pictures and description. Clean, functional cottage on the lake with a wonderful back porch for reading, sunsets, etc. We swam in the lake every day and walked/cycled the causeway which is close by. The location is very quiet for traffic from both cars and boats.

The cottage was a perfect place for us as two adults. Four adults would have been crowded. We found the beds to be comfortable. The kitchen was well stocked. I will say I was concerned about the stairs, but it turned out to be a real non-issue. I scaled the steps going down backwards like I was climbing down a ladder, worked like a charm. Coming back up was a bit of a workout, but far from impossible. The week was not without a couple hiccups, but every message we sent to Michelle was responded to quickly, and the issue resolved in due time.

Overlooking lake Champlain beautiful view . While it was very hot, the bedroom stayed pleasantly cool with fan on. We didn’t like the mattress so we slept on what I think was the box spring wonderfulGreat to be so close to the bike path. We’re hoping to come back next summer

Great week in Colchester

Great location, very quick to get onto the causeway to enjoy the great views, and easy to ride to one of the many great parks in Colchester. Kids really enjoyed the clear shallow bay. The house was ideal for the 4 of us, clean, plenty of kitchen tools, and great support from Mark and Michele on any questions we had. A+

Perfect Lakefront Property

Everything you could ask for! The cottage has warmth and charm - very clean and nicely decorated (decor and furniture) with an airy front porch that offers amazing views of the lake. It's in a great location - Colchester has beaches and restaurants and is a short drive to Burlington. The owners were wonderful with communication and attention to detail. We've rented twice and would consider going back again.

very nice

We enjoyed are stay in this house. It was very clean and right on the lake- every night was a spectacular sunset (well except for the day it rained!). Very near a multipurpose trail for running/walking/biking, that lead to the causeway out into the lake. It was fun running on it! I would definitely recommend this house. It was very nice for our family of 4.

Incredible location, rustic with great amenities

We spent a week here with our kids and we're really happy with our stay. The location is incredible - the view of the bay from the porch is definitely the highlight. It is around the corner from the causeway bike trail which is a 4 mile path that goes right across the bay - great for walking or biking. Easy drive to Burlington within fifteen mins or shelboune approx 20-25 mins. The cabin is great - feels rustic enough to be a special experience, but really well stocked kitchen, living and bedrooms to make life easy while you're there. Beds are comfortable, very clean place. Would love to stay again.

This is a lovely two bedroom cottage ("camp") that is charmingly decorated. The breezy front porch offers outstanding sunset views of the Lake and the Causeway. The long and steep stairway down to the shoreline has handrails on both sides and are in great repair. The kitchen is very well-appointed in terms of cooking equipment and dinnerware. Note that there are no staples other than salt and pepper, so bring your own oil, vinegar, flour, sugar, etc. It's a great location: the Mallett's Bay area is charming and Burlington is very close.

Great Family Getaway

This cottage was a perfect spot for our family vacation in Vermont. The kitchen was equipped with everything we needed to cook meals in the home. The location was great for our day trips we planned which included The Vermont Teddy Bear Company, Shelburne Farms, Church Street Marketplace, and Ben and Jerry's. Michele provided great recommendations of other places to visit as well. She was very welcoming and the rental process was simple and we had great communication during our stay. We enjoyed our time spent at the private beach. The small dock was not in the lake until our last day, however my kids had fun floating on rafts and swimming in the water. We would definitely stay here again!

Great, basic camp in a beautiful spot

My family (hubby, 5 year old, and 10 month old) all had an amazing week at this camp. The location is amazing-- right on the water in a calm, protected area, and directly adjacent to the Causeway for walking and cycling. The hosts were excellent and very communicative. My favorite part is that it was SUPER CLEAN! Our baby crawled all over the place and never got dirty-- that is a great testament to how well they keep this camp up. I was worried that there wasn't a dryer, but clothes dried very fast on the clothes line outside so it wasn't a problem at all. We will definitely be back!

No title

-cabin had pleasant appearance, kitchen equipment well organized, "beach" almost nonexistent due to high water this summer, but access adequate, & the lake there very nice for swimming. I would recommend getting a dish drainer for handwashing dishes, and a clothes dryer on top of the washing machine. In this moist environment, dankness and mustiness are the enemy of comfort.
