Beautiful spot!

This was a fantastic place to spend some time with the kids. We really enjoyed being right on the lake and spent a lot of time kayaking. The nearby bike path and bike ferry was a lot of fun.

Perfect lakeside abode

We had a wonderful time at this quaint cabin on the lake. Beautiful sunsets, bird watching and hanging out. The house had all the amenities one needed. We appreciated the kayaks and all the beach accessories. We definitely look forward to a future stay!

Charming lake cottage

Loved our time on the lake in this charming “Camp”/cottage. Felt welcomed with stocked fridge and Vermont goodies. Cottage was thoughtfully furnished with everything we could want. Views of the lake from the living room and front deck were wonderful. Great area for exploring, and just half hour from Burlington. Hope we can return someday.

Beautiful Spot on the Lake

We booked this property to enjoy the total eclipse but got more than just a great view. The house was roomy and well-furnished with anything we could use (linens, towels, kitchen items, etc.). It was super-tidy and welcoming. The beds were a little snug but you can't expect a jumbo bed in a cabin. We would definitely visit again!

Windy week

The island and the property are just perfect. Weather is weather! It was a stormy week, but still quite beautiful in Vt. We were so glad we stayed in this cozy cabin, it was so nice to relax with the kids before moving our oldest into his dorm at UVM.

UVM Family Weekend Escape

Perfect refuge for me and my daughter on UVM family weekend. Out of the fray and time to reconnect and recharge. Loved having the kayaks (under the stars!) and all the thoughtful touches of the home. This is a gem of a spot. So lucky to have found it. Thank you for sharing it with us.

Serene & Comfortable with beautiful sunsets

Let's say that I was extremely tempted to rent the place for the rest of the year. It was so pretty, the owner could not have been nicer or more accommodating, and the sunsets were breathtaking. The cabin (or "camp" as it is called in VT) is small but plenty of room for 2 to 4 adults (the one room has twin beds which would also work for kids). It is very convenient - kayaks and life jackets are provided and the storage shed is where we stored our bikes. There is no dishwasher but that was not an inconvenience. The refrigerator was even stocked with eggs and milk and there was a basket with Vermont goodies in it. If you are not fond of reeds touching you, then it wouldn't be a swim from shore kind of experience, but there is a sandy beach a short drive from the cabin on the Sandbar Bridge which is very swimmable. We biked one day to the ferry access and back, 10-ish miles round trip. In short, a wonderful lakefront stay that has stuck with us. I sometimes close my eyes during stressful times and picture sitting on the deck watching the birds and water rippling.

The "camp" (i.e., house) was comfortable for the five of us. The open layout between the kitchen, dining, and living room was really nice for all of us to be able to hang out together. There's a half bath I didn't realize it had, which was definitely a bonus! The lake view and yard were wonderful. It was pretty windy during our stay, but we did get to go out kayaking one of the days. Given that it's a lake, the water was surprisingly clear, though chilly, while we were there and also very shallow. I was able to walk in pretty far from the shore. Bob was also a great host! We felt very welcome

Beautiful cabin but called "camp". We felt right at home and we were thankful they had AC during the small heat wave. We loved sitting on the deck and on the dock! If we had more time we would have definitely used the 2 kayaks which they provided. Means we have to come back. Thank you to Robert our host he was terrific. Very quick to respond to our messages. Bye to Vermont for now.
