Everything was perfect, from start to finish. The location was great (and would be a wonderful spot to come back in the summer) right by the lake. The host Kevin and his wife were delightful. We happened to meet them while walking past their property close by. Gave us a quick history of the area and made us feel comfortable and relaxed. Highly recommend, the house is cozy and warm, plenty of games for a rainy day. They had fire wood in case we opted to sit outside one evening. The kitchen and bathroom were fully stocked. Thank you again for the opportunity to stay at your home.

I loved this place as soon as I walked in. It is so comfortable inside and out, with wonderful outside space. The large outside deck is enjoyable to relax and eat meals. Everything you could want for a memorable getaway is here.

We loved the house! It was extremely clean and the kitchen was very well stocked with everything you would need. It was a short walk to the lake and we even liked the neighbors that we talked to. There were many nice thoughtful touches such as night lights throughout the house. St. Albans was close by and we loved the Thai restaurant. The house has lots of natural light and was very inviting.

Beautiful property, wonderful stay!

Wonderful vacation spot - the camp was all we could ask for while spending a relaxing week with family in Vermont. The camp was extremely well appointed - everything you would need they had, and more! Enjoyed relaxing on the deck, beds were very comfortable and lots to do in the nearby town of St. Albans and surrounding state parks. Hope to be back soon!

This cottage was exactly as depicted on the website. It was clean, cozy and only one property away from Lake Champlain. You could tell that the home had been lovingly cared for by its owners. Owners were friendly and helpful. It was a pleasure staying here.

They also provided a folder that had a number if helpful suggestions for local restaurants. We would book another stay at this property when returning to the area.

Great location, quiet, pretty, tucked in the woods, walk to lake, everyone so friendly. Comfy and well stocked with all you’ll need. Good central location, did everything Vermont: Shelburne cheese, maple syrup, vineyards, Ben and Jerry’s, Von Trappe place, smugglers Notch, lake cruise, Teddy bear factory, etc. We are older, don’t hike but so many places, wish we could have. Highly recommend.

Perfect!

My Children and I stayed at this cottage at The Pines for a week and It was lovely. The owners were super friendly and accommodating. The Cottage was so quaint, clean and well equipped, every little detail was thought of. Stores and restaurants are all within a short drive from the property. The sunsets on the lake beach were just one of the many highlights we enjoyed. Every second of our stay was perfect! Thank you.

Fantastic rental for families!

Overall great experience on the rental. For people looking for a "cabin feel" while still having all of the nicer comfort features (Air Conditioning, Washer, Dryer, propane grill etc) this is the place to go. Quiet neighborhood, quick walk to the beach, and massive wrap around deck. Lots of things to do in the region. It was a great place for our family (two kids under 6). Owners were extremely helpful and did a great job making the property accommodating. As a side note, it was a heatwave (90+ Degrees most of our trip and the AC kept the cabin very comfortable).

Perfection Among the Pines

As you drive down the narrow tree lined road to the camp your first impression is “where am I going?” Quickly you realize you’ve been lucky enough to find a very special place. The camp has everything you need and the grounds are beautiful and peaceful. The view of the bay is gorgeous. We spoke with Joanne a couple of times and we enjoyed listening to the history of The Pines and we truly appreciated her suggestions of things to do and places to see. It is definitely a hidden gem and we are so glad we got to experience The Pines.

Autumn Splendor

I have read about Northeastern “camps” but this was my first experience. Rustic but comfy and impossibly Americana, this camp was a delightful surprise. The beds were comfortable, the kitchen well stocked (thanks for the s’mores fixings), plenty of linens and a nice Lounge area with TV if desired. We were in town for a family event wedding which required a lot of travel. Unwinding at the camp meant cornhole competitions, campfires and relaxing in the autumn sunshine. Thank you so much for sharing your piece of heaven with us.

Wish It Was Two Weeks!

We spent the week at The Pines and didn't want to leave. We could of stayed another week, easy! The McGinns were fantastic hosts and their cozy, comfortable camp was very well stocked with all the amenities. Some of the highlights for our young family were 1) exploring the waterfall at nearby Mill River 2) beach access on Lake Champlain for swimming and sunsets 3) the beautiful deck overlooking the expansive yard and softball field 4) roasting s'mores in the fire pit and 5) the water park and world class frisbee golf only 45 min away at Smugglers Notch Resort in Jeffersonville, VT. We hope to be back next summer! -Matt, Rose, Molly (6), Dougie (4), and Joey (2).

Delightful charming cottage.

We loved this cottage! It’s super cozy, quiet, comfortable, and even cuter than the pictures. We loved the antique touches, old wood floors, comfy chairs and such. The giant deck, abundance of windows, and ample sitting areas made it welcoming and relaxing inside and out, rain or shine. We were almost sad to go sightseeing, we just wanted to stay at the cottage and enjoy it. The hosts made our arrival special and welcoming with a lovely framed welcome sign and bottle of wine. They have a very in-depth and thoughtful guest binder with helpful info on just about anything you need to know about the area. The cottage is nicely stocked with dishes, cookware, towels, washer and dryer and many other useful extras. We were so busy and it was cool and rainy that we didn’t even get to utilize the kayaks or hang at the beach just a short jaunt away. I can only imagine the pleasure of a longer stay with perfect weather. Thanks for the stay!

A little slice of heaven!

In Vermont they call it a “camp.” Well, hands down this is the most comfortable “camp” we’ve ever stayed in. We arrived on a hot 90 degree day and the “camp,” with its air conditioning, was a welcome respite from the heat. After the first day, the heat broke and we used the 3 ceiling fans and opened all the windows, which let a beautiful breeze flow through. We spent much of our time on the “L” shaped deck. It’s complete with a view of the lake between other cottages, a wonderful grill and comfortable seating, including table and chairs for eating outdoors. The tall pine trees provide shelter and just the right amounts of sun and shade can be found on the deck at all times. The cottage is perfectly appointed, spotlessly clean, and meticulously maintained. You can’t help but get swept up in enjoying the basic joys of summer and feel the generations of love left in this cottage by its owners. It made for the perfect backdrop to celebrate our grand-daughter’s 5th birthday and it was a great place to reconnect with our family, barbecue, play home-run wiffle ball derby in the field, enjoy games at the oak table at night, sit around the fire and roast marshmallows, or simply read a book. We also took a ferry ride to Burton’s Island and enjoyed the St. Albans rail trail on our bike (highly recommended). Don’t over pack, as everything you could possibly need is there. There is a very large grassy field in the backyard that belongs to the community, and was a great place for our grandkids to play and for our family to enjoy some games. And as peaceful a place as it is to get away from it all, if you are looking for something to do, St. Albans and the magic of Lake Champlain, and all it has to offer, are nearby.
