We had an amazing time at the Duckblind!! The views are stunning no matter which direction you look. The house is clean, well appointed, and has plenty of space to relax. If you're looking for privacy this is it, as you are literally surrounded by the lake on all sides. Ian was a fantastic host, even was over accommodating with early check in and another special request. We use VRBO a lot and typically don't revisit places, this is one I would definitely go back to!!

Special spot!

We had a wonderful time at Duck Blind. The home is beautiful, spacious, and well appointed. It offers amazing views over the bay and feels secluded, while still being accessible to downtown Burlington. Its proximity to Niquette Bay State Park allowed for excellent winter hiking. We hope to return!
