Cozy Lake Champlain Cottage - Property on Lake Champlain
A cozy one bedroom cozy guest cottage tucked behind an 19th century farmhouse on a 1.5 acre lake lot. Enjoy the peace and tranquility of Lake Champlain in our guest cottage. Views abound from the many tranquil spots found on this large lake property. The cottage has fast internet service. Guests should be comfortable navigating stairs.
This guest cottage includes access to the lake shoreline - enjoy your morning coffee or a glass of wine in the evening while viewing Lake Champlain and the Green Mountains of Vermont. Take the steps down to the lake to the slate shoreline. There are bicycles, kayaks, and a SUP available on the property for guests to use at no charge.
With four true seasons, there is always something fun to do outside on the Adirondack Coast - swimming, boating, fishing, hiking, camping, bicycling, leaf peeping, skiing, snowmobiling, etc. The Adirondacks, Green Mountains, Montreal, Lake Placid, and Burlington are all an easy drive away. So the number of outdoor sports, festivals, wineries, breweries, concerts, restaurants, museums, and theaters is very high.
This property is very quiet and serene. Over an acre of green space gently sloping down to a private slate beach. Unmatched views of the lake and the Green Mountains abound. The property is truly a hidden gem on beautiful Cumberland Head.
Guests are welcome to pick the apples, blackberries, blueberries, raspberries, and strawberries found on the grounds. But please don't pick the grapes - they are for wine-making.
Cumberland Head is a little known, quiet peninsula surrounded on three sides by Lake Champlain. This lake is the 9th largest natural, fresh-water lake in the United States. Runners, walkers, and bicyclists frequent scenic Cumberland Head Road.
The property is in driving distance to downhill & cross country ski areas in NY and Vermont. The closest downhill/alpine skiing areas are Beartown (~20 minutes), Whiteface (~45 minutes), and Titus (~60 minutes). A little farther afield are slopes in Vermont. Nordic/cross-country skiing areas are much closer. Contact me for details.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.
