The place is beautiful and most of the rooms are quite large. There were enough bathrooms and bedrooms for us each to have our own and their kitchen was equipped with everything including an array of spices. The host was quick to respond and very accommodating.

We had a very good family gathering. Enough bedrooms and bathrooms. Furniture made living rooms cramped. House very well appointed and decorated. Outside decking needs refurbishing. Nice view of the lake, but not a lake house.

Stunning Views of Lake Champlain

If you like nautical decor and spectacular views of Lake Champlain, this is the place for you. It has everything you need, great location in South Hero, Vermont (an island on Lake Champlain) and is close to Burlington and Shelburne, Vermont where there is lots to do and see. House and property are very quiet and peaceful.Excellent communication with host.

The view is absolutely beautiful!!! Just gorgeous!!!The house is set up a little odd but I knew that from other reviews and the picture of the layout (which is very hard to make out online). The kitchen was not well stocked for cooking at all. And I’m not sure the person they are using to clean is doing their job completely. There seemed to be some missed areas and the grill was super dirty. One grill did not work at all. The host was so nice and kind. My husband spoke to him once and I spoke to him once as well. I would definitely stay there again if I’m ever in that area.

Good times enjoyed by all

I think the most amazing thing was the communication with the owner. He was generous in some of the extras he provided and responsive when we contacted him.Overall, we enjoyed our stay. Drove into Burlington a few times. Found the local restaurants and shops. Went to some of the beaches. And relaxed around the house.We got used to the layout of the house and everything worked out just fine.

We enjoyed our stay! The owner has included some very nice touches that had us out and about in the area, enjoying the beautiful island. We really appreciate him going the extra mile to be so welcoming and accommodating. It helped us to eat and shop local on the island.
