Quintessential Vermont camp for a quiet getaway on the lake. It was perfect for our family of 5 (kids are 11,13,16) with fishing, swimming, kayaking and paddle boarding off the dock with beautiful sunrises and sunsets. Definitely on our list of places to stay again!

Peaceful getaway on the lake

We enjoyed a few lovely days at the Boat House with friends and family. The camp is rustic but has a very well stocked kitchen, comfortable furniture, clean linens and comfy beds. We loved the location, neighbors are friendly, and overall - it's just a peaceful and relaxing place to spend time with family and friends. We hope to be back!!

Great location and ample water sports equipment. But upstairs lacks insulation and windows need replacement, which makes sleeping during the summer season problematic since there is no A/C.

It’s more like a camp

We enjoyed our stay. It’s more like a camp than a cottage which was fine. The upstairs is creepy and no one would go up there alone. It does look like they are starting to remodel some of the camp. We enjoyed paddle boarding and the area is really nice.

Nice location, could use some TLC

The Boathouse is in a great location on the lake, and it is a typical old-time summer lake cottage, but it needs some attention to provide guests a better experience. We did have a few issues while there, and the host was responsive. I would caution potential renters that this is a rustic experience. And while the interior was relatively clean, we had to clean a lot of spiders, webs, and dirt from the from porch and the kayaks to make them useable.The next door neighbors Harry and wife Cassie were awesome, and very helpful!

Expected it to be clean

We stayed at the Boat House in the first week of October, 2022. My first impression was pretty bad. We paid a cleaning fee so I expected the previous guest to have paid it as well. The bathroom was filthy. There was mold on the shower curtain and hair all over the tub, floor, rug and sink. Not at all what I expected given the price paid per night. I had to wash the shower curtain and rug as well as clean the entire bathroom just to use it. Windows had been left open and the house was really cold when we arrived. There is one heater in the house but it does not warm the upstairs at all. We did not use the fireplace. The kitchen was pretty nice with all the basic stuff to prepare meals. I loved the cabinets. The living room is cozy and comfortable. The first floor bedroom is advertised as a queen bed but it’s only a double bed. On the plus side, the house is in a great spot with beautiful views. It was great for taking a long walk and catching the sunsets. This is not a place to stay in cool weather but I imagine in summer it would be great, as long as it was cleaned!

Enjoyed our stay, but could use some TLC

Good location on a beautiful lake in a quiet neighborhood. The kitchen and bath looked recently updated, but some of the kitchen cookware was old and rusty. Place could have used a deep clean as there were many cobwebs and mold on the shower curtain. The downstairs bedroom has a full bed rather than a queen bed. The grill was not left in a usable state so we chose not to use it. The mattresses are old and uncomfortable and should be updated. Despite these faults, we enjoyed our stay. However, for the price we paid we would have expected a more updated camp.

We loved the feeling of a summer house from our childhoods, the exposed interior walls and ceiling upstairs, and the spacious front porch overlooking the lake. Thanks so much, we'll come back when we can.

Great location

Quintessential older lake house. Plenty of space for our family. We loved having a working fire place for the colder rainy evenings. Kitchen was well stocked. Could use a new grill. Being an early season booking we felt we opened the camp with basic clean up. Beds were full size not queen size but did the job for the week. We had an issue with the washing machine and the owner and manager quickly responded. Overall we thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Boathouse.

Lovely lake house, but quite rustic

We loved the location of the house, right across the street from the lake with use of the 2 kayaks and standup paddleboards. We were out on the lake every day, swimming and/or boating, although the steady breeze made paddleboarding a bit too challenging to try more than once. It was lovely to sit and read and look out over the lake from the beautiful porch. The house was nicely equipped -- we cooked dinner on the grill one night and made breakfasts and lunches in the kitchen. The shower and laundry room off the kitchen seemed like an unusual layout, but it really worked out quite well. The open walls and ceilings upstairs with exposed electrical wires creeped out our young adult kids, who refused to even go upstairs. The sleeping areas upstairs were spacious, but would benefit from some updating to match the downstairs, which was lovely. The neighborhood was very friendly with people walking by with and without dogs and saying hi. The lack of curtains on most of the windows was disconcerting at night, when people walking by could look right into the house. We enjoyed our trips to nearby Cookie Love for milkshakes and cookies and we took some nice trips to Burlington, including some local breweries and an admissions tour of the University of Vermont. Ryan was very easy to communicate with and made us feel very welcome.

perfect Vermont family getaway

Beautiful lakeside home with front screened porch along tranquil bay dotted with islands. Perfect family getaway for paddling, walking, and seeking out some of the best maple creemies in Vermont ( which we found right down the road at Vermont Cookie Love. Burlington a quick drive north. Kids loved the stand up paddle boards.

Wonderful old fashioned lakefront cottage

Comfortable, charming, beautifully situated. The house is funky in the best possible way. It is an old fashioned cottage with a breezy front porch and a great dock. The paddle boards and kayaks were great out on the lake, and swimming off the docks was also lovely. The kitchen is well supplied and easy to cook in. The cupboards are a special touch! The beds were comfortable, we only used the downstairs bedroom and the four single beds upstairs. You may want to bring plenty of drinking water as the tap water is strongly flavored. We loved our stay and hope to return soon!
