With two families of four looking to get back to Vermont for a summer getaway, this was perfect! Right on the water and with plenty of space, we were happy to have a peaceful retreat. Close enough that we could even take a trip into Burlington. Would absolutely stay here again!

Beautiful Place!

My family stayed at this place for a week in July. Every sunset that we saw was stunning and we thoroughly enjoyed eating dinners on the deck while we watched nature’s show. My children enjoyed the paddle board, kayak, canoe, and hammock, and there was plenty to do inside on the rainy days. Autumn was very easy to communicate with, and our stay was very enjoyable. We would definitely stay here again!

A lovely getaway

This is our second year staying at this VRBO property. The owner was more than accommodating and was prompt in answering all of my questions. We stayed a week and loved every day that we were there. Our stay was aided by the fully stocked kitchen, very comfortable living and bedrooms, and it was spotlessly clean. Thanks again for allowing us to stay there.

Hi Kevin. Thank you so much for your 5-star review. Glad you had a great trip! I checked in with my plow person–who is great and generally communicates well–and it sounds as thought he was held up with several urgent situations due to the snowstorm. This is why the driveway was plowed but he didn't make it back in time to take care of the walk before your arrival. I'm sorry that it wasn't shoveled and I appreciate you taking care of it! Thanks again for choosing our property for your ice-fishing trip. Hope to have you and your crew back again next winter!

Great spring break

Perfect house for family of 8, spacious and great place to hang out. Explored the area Goodsell Ridge, Alburgh, Montreal, South Hero- it was all beautiful. Stopped at the little store on the island and the brewery, Kraemer & Kin. Had mounds of snow and then clear skies for the eclipse! It is a great house for a relaxing get away.

Quiet, Spacious, Well-Appointed

Three of us older adults stayed a week in this beautiful home on the shore of Lake Champlain. Everything we needed was there. The home is very private with no visible neighbors, but it had easy access to stores, gas stations, and major roads to our outdoor adventures. The island itself had some interesting features well worth visiting. Our stay was relaxing and rejuvenating. We heartily recommend it for anyone looking for a great base camp in the northern Lake Champlain area.

Beautiful, secluded property

The house has a great layout with a large, open living/dining space. The younger kids enjoyed having a large room with 3 single beds and a TV. The kitchen is equipped with everything you’ll need to cook meals. Each day, we would drive about 25 minutes to interesting spots in the area. Try Seb’s in South Hero, Au Sable Chase in NY and Montréal.

Fantastic memories

We truly had one of the best vacations! The open area made it very easy for all of us to be together with plenty of room to spread out. The sunsets and sunrise views from the dock were spectacular. Kitchen was very well supplied with plenty of dishes, silverware and pots/pans. I would highly suggest going 1/4 mile down the road to the local smoked meat store and grab yourself some brisket too! Thanks Autumn!

Awesome stay by the Lake Champlain !

We had a very delightful stay in the Lake House ! Very peaceful, great location, splendid landscape. The Lake House is very comfortable and spacious. We enjoyed our diners on the large deck overlooking the lake and the beautiful sunsets. Autumn, the owner, was very helpful and communicative to set us up at the house. We didn't have the pleasure to meet Autumn but hopefully will have the opportunity upon our next visit. Everything was perfect. Highly recommended ! Can't wait to go back.

Hi Brian, Thanks for choosing our property & for your review. I’m glad your family had a great time! I also noticed the twin bed was uneven after your stay & a quick peek under the bed revealed that the caster was just out of place in that corner. Easy fix! Thanks for letting me know.

Cozy winter getaway

Johnny’s Dream was the perfect property for our family, including our furry family member, to celebrate the holiday. The views of sunrise from the master bedroom were magnificent! The house was super clean, spacious and very comfortable. My husband and I love to cook, and we prepared all of our meals at the house so the kitchen was more than adequate fir our needs. Autumn was very nice, responsive and easy to communicate with. We had to cancel and rebook our trip, and she was quite accommodating. We look forward to a return trip on the summer or fall to enjoy the lake during a different season!

Family Reunion

The view and size of the property was fabulous. The house was very clean and met our needs. It was dissappointing that the sliders did not open and there was not adequate seating outside to enjoy the view and the warm weather. And the front door lock did not work properly. Needs a little TLC but the owner was very gracious and is working on the problems listed. All and all a great house!!

Great views, Spacious, Comfortable, Private

Our family (2 adults, 3 kids, 1 dog) loved our stay at this great Isle La Motte house. The lake views were amazing and serene. We saw both the beautiful sunset and sunrises from the shoreline. The house was clean, spacious, and comfortable. The property was well maintained with lovely gardens. We enjoyed swimming and kayaking in the lake , seeing the 480 million year old fossils on the island's two preserves, stopping at farm stands for fresh tomatoes, corn, and pies, playing at Alburg Dunes state park (10 minutes away) with sandy beach and shallow waters, and going to Ausable Chasm on the NY side. If we are back in the area, we would definitely try to rent this house again. Thank you to Autumn for being a responsive host and letting us rent her family's special home.

Fabulous location for graduation celebration!

The pictures on this site do not come close to being able to capture the beautiful, serene, picturesque environment of this Isle La Motte lake home. When we drove up to the house and walked in and saw the gorgeous views from the windows spanning the entire downstairs living space we were so excited! It was our daughter’s graduation weekend celebration from UVM and we couldn’t have chosen a more perfect location. The house is spotless, comfortable, well stocked and the owner Autumn responded promptly to any question we had. We couldn’t have been more pleased. While the weather was rainy and damp most of the weekend this house made up for it and gave us a fantastic space to hang out and celebrate. When we came back from the Saturday graduation the sun made its way out and provided a beautiful backdrop to take pictures. Our first night we saw a double rainbow and ran outside to take pictures!!We highly recommend this house to a groupwho wants a space that is inviting with exceptional views and nature all around. We will definitely be back.

Annual Fishing Trip to Lake Champlain

The house and location were perfect. The fishing in the area was fantastic. It would have been better with a boat dock to tie to but anchoring off the buoy was fine. Loading and unloading of the boats were easy with the boat ramp so close to the house. The sunsets and sunrises in the backyard were spectacular. The plumbing in the upstairs bathroom needs work. The shower did not function. Overall we enjoyed our stay immensely. We broke a lower drawer on the fridge when a tub of butter fell off the top shelf. We ordered a new drawer for the fridge but need an address to send it to. Thanks Autumn

Thank you for your review! We are very happy to hear you had such an excellent trip and we appreciate your feedback as we're always working to give our guests the very best experience. Some of the best fishing on the lake is right out our front door and we're so glad you were able to put our new Hazlett mooring to use! We agree a boat dock with a lift would be great, but the variability of the water depth and the sometimes powerful north wind makes the mooring the best & safest choice for our guests and their boats. We're sorry to hear you had trouble with the upstairs shower. We just checked it today and it does function, but the faucet is indeed loose. Our plumber is on it! Thanks for letting us know. We always provide our cell number to our guests so they can be in touch with us directly we can quickly address and remedy concerns. We'd happily welcome your crew back and hope you'll feel free to reach out with any questions during your stay. We're here to help!
