A Note for Light Sleepers

The home is located near active train tracks that are used only a few times each day, including one or two early-morning passings. We find the trains to be part of the area’s unique small town charm, but understand they may be noticeable to lighter sleepers.

Both bedrooms are equipped with sound machines to help provide a comfortable and restful night.

At Off the Rails Lake House, you can slow down, reconnect, and enjoy the simple pleasures of waterfront living. Spend your days exploring Lake Champlain and the surrounding Adirondack region, then return home to relax on the deck just yards from the water.

We can’t wait to host you at Off the Rails Lake House.

Guest Access

Guests have access to the entire home via a keypad entry, as well as the entire yard. Please note that the garage on the property is locked and not accessible to guests.

Outdoor security

Security cameras are located near the side door and facing the pump house. NO cameras face the deck, waterfront or sitting areas.

The lakefront is best enjoyed for its views, kayaking, and relaxing by the water. The bay can be weedy, so swimming directly from the property while allowed is not often ideal. Water levels in the bay can become very low later in the season so please keep that in mind when booking later in the season.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

Perfect spot for my husband, dog and I to relax for a few days. We loved watching the birds enjoy the lake from the deck and having a fire by the water at night. The trains do go by a couple times a day, but we didn’t mind the noise.

This is a nice house with great views. Everything we needed was there and the host was very responsive when we had questions. I think it would be a little tricky to find if you were arriving at night.

The little cottage was adorable, very modern and clean. A grab bar in the bathroom near the toilet would have been nice but we are older women so young people wouldn’t need it. The lake level was very low when we were there and I would have liked to walk along the shore but the access to the lake is for younger, more agile people. The rocks at the bottom of the stairs and lack of railings on the lower steps was a problem. The views and the many windows were perfect as was the deck area. In all it was a relaxing stay.

The property was absolutely amazing. Our Australian shepherd Iggy had so much fun and plenty of room to run and play, which allowed us to enjoy our vacation, too. We will definitely be looking to book this property in the future. The owner was very pleasant and made us feel comfortable throughout the entire process. We couldn't have asked for a better experience.

While the property is nice and on the lake, the water was quite a bit of seaweed and kayaking or swimming is not possible. The property while renovated recently has not been maintained as well as it should. The decking and steps are starting to show age. The property could use a good exterior cleaning. I also felt that for the price, the kitchen pots, pans and dishes were very low quality. Fortunately we brought our own. There was also a collection of condiments and other items left from previous visitors. That makes the place transiant. Overall a nice stay but not at the price point charged.

Response from VrboOwner on 10 Oct 2026
We’re glad you enjoyed the property and lake views, but several statements in this review need clarification. During your late September stay, seasonal water levels were lower throughout the entire bay, making aquatic vegetation more noticeable near shore. This is a seasonal condition affecting the bay as a whole. Kayaking is still possible, and guests can paddle out to deeper, clearer water. We disagree with the characterization of the house as poorly maintained and the kitchenware is there for convenience, as most do not travel with cookware while not high end we have never had complaints as it is a lakeside cabin. Our home is cared for, and normal weathering and paint wear from daily use the entire season on outdoor wood does not mean the property has been neglected. Condiments and pantry items are conveniences guests may choose to use or not use and we have had a lot of positive feedback about spices and other basics available from other guests. Their presence does not make the home unclean or “transient.” We respect that opinions about value differ, but this stay was actually at a reduced rate and even at full price we have never had any complaints about value as you have access to the entire private house, yard, lake and amenities.

Overall, we had a great stay. The house was very nice, well-maintained, and beautifully updated throughout. The view was fantastic and made it the perfect place to relax and unwind. If you’re looking for a peaceful getaway, this is definitely the place for you. The train for us, wasn’t an issue at all. You can barely hear it inside the house.

Gorgeous views. Cute cottage with upscale appliances. Very accommodating host. Train tracks were very close as was disclosed in listing. Most trains were during daytime so it didn't bother us.
