Lori and Kevin were more than accommodating. There were nine of us gathering for a Celebration of Life, and even though it was a sad occasion, their peaceful home made the experience much easier. The children loved the outside activities and the adults made good use of the fire pit. We highly recommend.

First off…Lori is an amazing host! The property itself has so much to do. Tons of outdoor activities and plenty of space throughout the fully equipped house. Great house to unwind with the family away from everything!!

This was our first time visiting Lake Champlain and we couldn’t have picked a better host! Lori did a fantastic job welcoming us, showing us the property and getting us acclimated to the area. We all enjoyed paddling around on the lake, checking out the small island, and the kids caught tons of fish. The large yard was perfect for wiffle ball tournaments and corn hole. The views were amazing and the fire pit was a great way to end the days. Thank you so much for allowing us to experience your beautiful property!!
Great fishing at the dam

We had a wonderful family gathering. The yard provided plenty of room for the children to play. We enjoyed the views of the Bay and western sky. The large dining room table was very accommodating. The property was all we hoped for. Thanks Lori.

Wonderful getaway

We live in a different part of the country so coming here and staying at this 10 acre private "compound" was unique and special to us. If it's privacy you seek you have it here. Our family of four had more than enough room to make ourselves feel comfortable. A fire pit over looking the lake's sunset each evening was the cap to terrific days on the water. Lori was very welcoming. Highly recommend!

Beautiful, relaxing stay in a great location

The house and yard is on a hill over looking a beautiful view of Lake Champlain. The host has many comfortable outdoor seating options and a bunch of outdoor games. The house is very comfortable with all of the modern conveniences. We have never had a better more accessible host that really tried to make sure that you had the knowledge to enjoy not only the property but the surrounding area. You are 2 miles from the Canadian border and easy access to an interstate so exploring is easy. Although there is some highway noise when in the yard, it feels very secluded. It is just what my wife and I were looking for!

Family Friendly with a Great View

The house and property have everything. There is lots to do for the whole family. We loved exploring the lake on kayaks. They had enough PFDs and kayaks/paddle boards for all 10 of us with some left over. The beach was a bit mucky and not great for swimming there but still easy to get the kayaks out to a vast lake. The view from the yard is fabulous especially at sunset. Again the house is well stocked with supplies for cooking, sitting around the firepit or playing a game. The hosts started us off well by meeting us at the house to give us a tour. We loved our trip to Lake Champlain.

Anniversary Trip

My husband and I made a last-minute decision to visit Vermont after Hurricane Milton messed with our plans for the Keys. The house is in a beautiful setting right on Lake Champlain, secluded and quiet. It is literally two miles from the Canadian border. That being said, it is also quite a drive to any other destinations that might be of interest. A couple of little issues arose, but they were addressed quickly. Since we were visiting in mid-fall, the one irritating thing was the lack of sufficient lighting. Overall an enjoyable stay.

We had a wonderful time. Lori is excellent in point you to right places. The place is great, family friendly and it’s an awesome well kept property with many great amenities. The only thing you should not do is get on the metal frame hammock, unless it is a new one. The one there now is not working and you will fall without warning. Thank you Lori for a great place and all your wonderful recommendations.

Beautiful lake house

If you like nature this place is it !!!! Lori was amazing she welcomed us with open arms, her place has amazing views and the house was perfect. I have never seen a rental more packed with stuff we didn’t need to bring anything with us we were well entertained while visiting. Lori knows the area well and was able to make good suggestions on where to go! It was handicap accessible which was a huge bonus for us! The views for watching the sunset were awesome. For a rental we felt as if we were at home we weee 6 adults and 3 kids and everyone was able to enjoy everything together. Thank you Lori for this unforgettable weekend we made many unforgettable memories! Families Fallon/Ocain/Desmarais

Lake Champlain Retreat

If you would like a quiet, relaxing, peaceful, and fun stay on Lake Champlain then this is the place for you. The property is beautiful and once you get the lay of the land, it is easy to navigate back and forth down to the water and kayaks. Our whole family enjoyed our time out in the water even though it was high and a little choppy at times. The house itself is a little dated, but suited our needs perfectly. The beds were quite comfortable and the living spaces gave everyone the opportunity to spread out and/or come together for games and fun. This is the most well supplied house we have ever stayed at. It had everything we needed for cooking, grilling, storing food etc.Plenty of towels, bathroom supplies, laundry supplies etc. It really was awesome. The owner is extremely responsive and helped us with a couple of hiccups in a very timely manner. Didn’t interfere with our trip at all. Consider spending your next trip to Vermont here! You won’t be sorry.

One of the most amazing place we booked

Lori is very responsive and accomodating!! She welcomed us during our check in and explained everything to us. The place is very spacious with lots of activities like frisbee, kayaking on Lake Champlain and other board games in which we loved. The view is breathtaking and def worth the price for the stay. We are planning to go back again to make it a yearly habit!! THIS PLACE WILL NOT DISAPPOINT

great outdoors

The house has a giant backyard overlooking the lake. There is a table for 6 right off the porch that's shaded by dinnertime and a picnic table a little further from the house. With seats around a firepit and Adirondack chairs looking out over the lake, there's plenty of space to spread out. There's another firepit with chairs down at the lake level. The Rock River is a great kayak trip--the mouth of the river is quite close to the launch area, so it's a great option on a windy day. Inside, the kitchen is well-equipped. Lots of sitting areas if you want some privacy from the rest of your group.

Fun for families

Great kayaking, paddleboarding and canoeing made for a fun family vacation. Lots of activities at the house including an excellent fire pit, 2 frisbee golf basket/goals, tandem bike, croquet and cornhole. Beautiful view over the lake, plenty of outdoor seating and a hammock made unwinding easy. Beds really comfortable. Nice grill plus dishwasher made for easy family meals. Lori and Kevin were very communicative making sure we had a good stay. Kevin walked us through the house when we arrived which was very helpful. Note well-water is not the most drinkable (fine for brushing teeth) but a case of bottled water was provided at the house. We purchased several 99 cent gallons of water at the Swanton Hannaford to supplement so it wasn’t an issue. Gagne farm nearby had great maple creemees (select days) and excellent syrup. Would definitely stay at Lori and Kevin’s house again!

Family vacation

We had such a wonderful time at this beautiful lakefront house. The owners were so kind bringing over toys and books for our 27 month granddaughter. The place was well stocked and had lots of outdoor space for us during the day. It was a wonderful week spending time with our family.
