About this property

Secluded Lake Champlain Home on 1200' of Frontage

This rustic, Adirondack-style home is full of charms and quirks. Families and friends have been returning here, time after time, just to enjoy the magic that is 'Camp'. Nowhere on the Lake will you find such a setting as ours along with the casual freedom to enjoy the beauty of the Champlain region. The property sits in the middle of 5 acres of land, so the nearest neighbor feels just far enough away, and you can enjoy the peace and rustic charm of Camp, comfortably ensconced in your own room.
The entire home and grounds are at your disposal. There is a fully stocked kitchen, dining room and living room. The latter two rooms have large windows that look out over the Lake. There are three showers (two inside and one out) and two full bathrooms (one downstairs, one on the second floor). There are 5 bedrooms in the main house and one in a separate building: Camp can sleep 14 comfortably.
From the property, you can enjoy the excellent back road riding on Grand Isle. There are also a dock, raft, and volleyball court onsite. Nearby, a local winery hosts concerts and tasting evenings, the Sunset Drive-In is only a short drive away in nearby Colchester, and our west-facing shoreline provides some of the most amazing sunsets you'll ever see. Convenient to Burlington (30 min) and Montreal (90 min), though once you arrive, you may not want to leave.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

Fantastic family vacation

Our stay at this house on the lake was exceptional—the lake, the sunsets, the fire pit (and s’mores!), the dock, the kayaks and canoe, the raft (and cannonballs!)—it was the perfect location for our extended family to relax and enjoy. The expanded kitchen was a great plus and easy for several of us to work in at a time. Thank you so much for sharing it with us!

Even better than it looks

I booked this property for a college reunion where we filled every bed of this house for a week - a week that turned out to be one of the hottest on record (August 2021). Even though nearby South Hero temps were mid-90s, our location remained cool and comfortable due to the prevailing winds off the lake. The water access was excellent for swimming and boating and there was very little motorboat traffic in the area, which made for quiet, unobstructed views of the Adirondacks. The house was charming and my two concerns from the photos - that the kitchen would be too small for large group cooking and that 1.5 bathrooms would not be enough - had been solved by recent renovations, in which they doubled the size of the kitchen and added a second shower (plus an outdoor shower). We spent the week jumping in the water, hanging out on the wraparound porch, eating around the picnic table, stargazing by the firepit, playing volleyball, cornhole, and basketball - and just breathing in the fresh air. The one slight complaint was that the house was hot for sleeping - the result of it being a very hot week and that many of the lovely old windows do not open. There were ceiling fans throughout the downstairs and box fans for every bedroom, so we actively managed the airflow and it worked out. Thanks to the owners who share their special family place with the rest of us!

We have stayed here more than once and come back for the beautiful lakeside location, ease of enjoying Lake Champlain and simplicity of the camp. The place is equipped adequately and cleaned well beforehand. We like using the canid, kayak and paddleboard to explore.

What a special place to spend a week away from the craziness of 2020. The setting on the lake with the massive water frontage and the peacefulness was reinvigorating. The house itself was campy and could use an update but that didn’t take away from the setting. The house had everything inside and out that you would want for recreation, fun and relaxation. The fire pit on the lake, the swimming dock, eating outside on the water were but a few of the highlights. Proximity, less then a mile, to the winery and bike riding without traffic was a pleasure. We will be back to this very special place. Brittany and Ron as well as Jen were always available for anything we needed. Well done Camp Rushford!

Fabulous location - great vacation rental

Our only regret was that we couldn't stay longer. The property itself is gorgeous - far more spectacular a lakefront than the pictures can do justice to. We had plenty of space for four adults and five teenagers, and plenty to do. The kids rode bikes all over the place and loved the freedom - roads were quiet and made for easy biking. We didn't leave the water often, but when we did, there was plenty of room on the ample waterfront for the kids to swim and play and have their own space and leave the adults undisturbed. The house itself has quirky charm - if you're looking for a resort feel with full-service everything, this will not be the place for you. We felt like we were part of the family there - easy comfort, well stocked kitchen, great game and puzzle selection. We loved the location so much we tried to extend (they were fully booked) and loved South Hero so much we are looking at buying our own property there. It is a perfect family location. .

An awesome lake house!

This was the perfect property for our big group that came to Burlington for the marathon. The house is even closer to the water than I imagined. You can hear the waves lapping at the rocks when you wake up. Incredible views! A great, rustic house to enjoy the lake and unplug with friends and family! We would definitely like to return!

Very nice and quiet house in an amazing location

Great 2-week stay last August 2018, on the lake, with a private beach, facing the Adirondack mountains, with gorgeous sunsets. Lots of rooms and a large living space on 1st floor. Comfort is basic but that's what you can expect from a lake house. Shopping on the island is not too far away and Burlington is only 30 minutes by car. We loved the Thursday evenings at the local winery, half a mile from the house, with food trucks, local beer and live music outside. Just a wonderful experience that our whole family did enjoy.

About the host

Hosted by Jennifer Stone

Host profile image
The Rushford family purchased this home in 1969 and it became our family's 'summer camp'. The 9 siblings and our Mom spent entire summers here with our Dad coming for a month. We have incredibly fond memories of long summer days spent on the water and the surrounding island. We have passed our love of 'camp' to our children and still all 9 of us and our families look forward to our annual trips to VT.

Why they chose this property

I grew up spending summers at this spot. It is ideal for families or adult gatherings, peaceful, and gorgeous. A place to make many happy memories year after year.
