D and M (initials only bc apparently I’m not allowed to use their names) are the best hosts! The cottage is always stocked with food when we arrive so that we don’t have to worry about getting to a store right away. D has excellent communication and is always making great recommendations to maximize our time and fun while staying on their property. The cottage is always clean and well-stocked with towels and toiletries. I look forward to this trip every year and will never stay anywhere else when we’re in the area. Their property is beautiful and they are so very friendly and accommodating. Thank you so much, D and M!

We really enjoyed our stay at the cottage. It is surrounded by beautiful greenery and the lake, very quiet and peaceful. Debbie and Mark were amazing hosts. They provided excellent communication. The refrigerator was stocked with food when we arrived so we were able to make breakfast a few days as well as have delicious snacks during our stay. Highly recommend staying here.

Fabulous place. Very calm and quiet, right on the shores of Lake Champlain. Very comfortable and spacious indoors with excellent outdoor amenities. We have stayed at numerous vacation homes over many years. Debbie is, by far, the most gracious, engaging, and delightful host we have ever had…so welcoming. A wonderful place to stay—we would love to return!

Debbie Malmos is, hands down, the best hostess on VRBO. She requires so little of renters and her generosity is extraordinary. The guest house is impeccably clean, well laid out, and so, so comfortable. There were just two of us and we enjoyed every minute. Be sure to try out the swing near the lake. (I did, with my book, a cup of tea, and a throw blanket.) It's just so peaceful. Also, it faces west and it's a great spot for watching the sun set. We had a wonderful time and already have dates picked out for next year. We will enjoy a much longer stay! Thanks so much, Debbie!

Lovely Place and and a great host

Debbie was a great host. She greeted us on our arrival and had generously stocked us with groceries and a yummy homemade coffee cake. The cute little place was spacious and cozy with a beautiful outdoor space with the view of the lake. It was a great location to our daughter’s house in Middlebury, her wedding venue in Bridport and to Basin Harbor for the rehearsal dinner. We were extremely pleased with our stay.
