Family Gathering

The exceptional views, warm fireplace, and spacious living and kitchen made our family gathering most enjoyable. The location allowed us to easily walk into town as well.

House 5, Housekeeping 1

House 5*: The lakehouse truly is a "gem", as other reviews mentioned, both comfortable & historic...excellent location for leaf-peeping & exploring E Adirondacks & VT, scenic water/mountain views with gorgeous sunrise, cozy & charming (like Grandma's!), spacious (all 7 of us had our own bed), assessable master & large well-equipped kitchen big plusses. Many pantry items furnished, along with soaps, paper goods, first aid supplies. Housekeeping 1*: First impression not great...house number covered by bush so unsure we were at right house...entering, we were greeted by so many mosquitos & spiders (& other bugs & nests), cobwebs in every room & on ceilings, dust behind beds & furniture, etc, so before unpacking, we armed with brooms & flyswats to bug kill & cobweb clear just to be able to sleep! Next morning we discovered a really dirty oven, a floor that didn’t meet our standards with kibble, cobwebs & dust, so before preparing breakfast we mopped the kitchen & wiped everything down. (Never had to do that at a VRBO!) Linens clean but 2 threadbare topsheets tore when 2 of my roommates merely turned over, then 1st chair we pulled out at (living room) table was broken. (Beware: no handrail & steep steps down to basement w/d.) And, I didn’t want to write any of that because I’ve never given anything but a stellar review in all my many years of vacation renting, but suspect Robby is an absent landlord & his standards are not reflected in what we found & experienced!

lake life

this camp is lovely. very positive vibes! the surrounding area had just enough restaurants and shops to keep me entertained while staying "home" was a delight as well. having my dog with me was the cherry on top. please note steps to lake are a challenge and the shower on the first floor cannot be relied upon for hot water. everything else was great!!!!

About the host

Hosted by Robby Barnett

Born and raised in the Adirondacks. Founder and Artistic Director of the globally acclaimed Pilobolus Dance Theater.

Why they chose this property

My father was an editor and writer for Life Magazine, my mother a settlement house volunteer, and they left NYC in 1946 to live in Westport. I was born in Elizabethtown and my brother Tim and I still spend much of our time in the house our parents bought in 1947.

What makes this property unique

THE GROUND FLOOR OF THE HOUSE IS FULLY HANDICAPPED ACCESSIBLE... in addition to a great beach, spectacular views of the lake and the Green Mountains stretching from Mt Mansfield in the north down past Mt Abraham and the southern peaks.
And, of course, Westport: a remarkable small town, with direct train service from Penn Station in NYC, a first-rate summer stock theater, excellent marina, beautiful 19th century library, many good restaurants, a terrific brewery, state boat launch for easy access to our great Lake Champlain, and a lovely park overlooking the lake in the center of town with a sandy public beach.
