A tried and true favorite place to stay while visiting my daughter at UVM. Love everything about it. The sky over the lake is always changing, making enjoying the view easy even when it’s cold and rainy. Cozy indoors and a nice escape.
Host was very helpful. The view of Mallets Bay from the warm, cozy great room was the best. Kitchen had everything. We enjoyed delicious dinners looking out @ the beautiful sunsets over the bay. We hope to come back.
We loved this home. So peaceful with an amazing view of the lake. Close to so many great restaurants and breweries. It was clean and well kept. Hope to stay again
We had the most incredible stay at this charming Vermont property at the beginning of foliage season, and it truly exceeded our expectations! From the moment we arrived, we were blown away by the breathtaking views of the water and the peaceful, cozy atmosphere.
This was a great lake house… super quiet neighborhood and we felt very safe. Only a 20 minute drive to get to downtown Burlington or Colchester… we drove10 more minutes and found some fantastic hiking trails! I would certainly stay here again!
We had a great time. House is very nice and the views of the lake are amazing!

We always welcome folks like this to our home at Porters Point!
Well equipped property at a nice location. Had everything we needed for a family Thanksgiving get together. On the lake and convenient to downtown Burlington
We had a really great stay at the lake house. The house was well equipped and clean. View from the porch was amazing and our toddler really enjoyed the toys and books in the house.
We spent the Christmas holiday at this lovely cottage. The home was very comfortable with the perfect amount of amenities. It was wonderful to wake up each morning to the spectacular light over Lake Champlain. Just what we needed.
