Incredible find for your family lakefront vacation. Enjoy your coffee in the morning in the privacy of our wraparound porch while ducks practice their morning maneuvers.

Shallow entry with a small stretch of rocks leads to a full sandy bottom beach.

Minutes to petting zoo, fresh vegetable markets, Snow Farm Vineyards, Allenholm Farm maple cremees and Seb's famous french fries. 2 miles to everything you need including fine dining at The Blue Paddle. 25 minutes to downtown Burlington.

Excellent location on Lake Champlain

We were a large party that stayed for a graduation event. The house and property are lovely. Everything was exactly as in the description and Deb was a superb hostess. She was responsive and very helpful in advance of our visit with dining suggestions. I would highly recommend this house to any large family wanting some time on the lake. The marina at South Hero is not far and the grocery store is 5 mins away.

A peaceful retreat

We had such a beautiful stay in this lovely farmhouse. Gorgeous sunsets among the beautiful trees as their reflections danced in the waters. The geese were a joy and the daily visit from the eagle just was icing on the cake ! It was perfect and we look forward to visiting in the summer.

Family reunion

This property has the most beautiful sunsets. This is the third time we stayed here and the visit was just as amazing as the previous two. My whole family enjoyed the house immensely. The kitchen is fully equipped. The kayaks and sups provided fun for all. Thanks for a fulfilling family get together!

Beautiful spot

Incredible location on the lake, amazing porch and fire pit, and comfy house. We had a great time there! Would definitely come back. Easy to communicate with hosts, and when there was a small issue with the water they came out to fix it promptly at the agreed time. Something to know: there aren't any cooking basics at the house (like oil and spices), so bring whatever you'll need if you're cooking.

Outstanding lake house experience

My family and I thoroughly enjoyed our week stay! Everything exceeded our expectations. Deb and Andrew were always quick to respond to our questions. The atmosphere was so calming and peaceful; sitting in the rocking chair looking out over the lake with a cup of coffee was the perfect way to begin each morning. We look forward to returning!

Serene, Peaceful, gorgeous place to be.

We absolutely loved our week in this charming cottage. Time with family, playing croquet, cribbage, kayaking, walking, biking and eating from the local farmers were just some of the highlights. We sat on the porch and enjoyed fabulous sunsets waterside. Could not have asked for more. Simply stunning. Thank you. Tomasen

Summer Cottage

This is a perfect cottage on the lake for a family vacation. The location in South Hero is tranquil and also still close to any of the wonderful local amenities and attractions that this part of the island offers. The water was delicious and we took full advantage of it - swimming, using the kayak and paddle board. As has been said in other reviews - beautiful sunsets, and very very peaceful. About the cottage - it is a camp cottage so anyone wanting thick carpeting and sound proof rooms should look elsewhere. This is what we loved about it! And anything you might need is EXACTLY placed where and when it occurs to you that you need it. Such a perfect use of space and efficiency. Would love to go back!

Greatest Location, Ever!

We loved the views of the lake and the Adirondacks, from the yard and bedroom windows. Deb and Andy have everything together for you to have a fantastic time. Kayak, paddleboards, cornhole, fireplace, firepit. And much more. We loved that it's an easy bike ride to South Hero and the Snow Farm Vineyard. Not to mention the causeway to Burlington. Check out the trail that runs from Tracy Road down to White's Beach. The Blue Paddle was a fantastic place for dinner, and we went to McKee's Pub 3 times. Fun! I can't imagine a better place to explore Grand Isle. Did I mention that the sailing in our Hobie Cat was wonderful? Valcour, Sawyer and Crab Islands, Cumberland Head, , over to Mallett's Bay, you can't beat it!

Quiet cottage with spectacular views and lake access

Very relaxing week spending time on the deck in rocking chairs watching birds, boats, and sunsets. Easy drive to Burlington, MT Eagle, Mt Philo, etc. Also had a day adventure to Ausable Chasm across the ferry just up the street. Lots of fun and we barely scratched the surface of things to do in this area.

So perfectly equipped

A return to this beautiful old place but to different weather! 3 REALLY hot days, 2 cool to cold days and 2 just right days gave us a chance to see how perfectly equipped Summer House is!! A fan in every room, windows that all work, and even heat for the morning in the 40's. Gorgeous sunsets that made the excellent TV ALMOST superfluous.The best corn we ever tasted from Goulet farm stand. When a drain was clogged, Andy came and blew it out and also exchanged grills with us when we admitted that "ours" was on its last legs. We had a wonderful time together!

Wonderful Vacation!

What a fantastic week we had! The house and location are amazing. Off the beaten path yet not too far from route 2 for quick essentials from Keeler’s Variety store, Seb’s snack bar, or a farm stand. The house is so charming - cozy and rustic yet also super clean with modern conveniences. Nice open kitchen, dining and LR area. We enjoyed the front porch and fire pit for AM coffee and PM cocktails. The view and sunsets are quite beautiful. Barnes bay is quiet with the occasional boat, kayak or paddle board gliding by. Great waterfront area for lounging, swimming and water toy fun. The lake is clean and clear although a bit shallow around the shorelines - easy in and out for the kids. Overall we had the best time. Lots to do and see in the area yet serene and peaceful Vermont at its best! Thanks to Deb for being a perfect hostess. We will return for sure!

Perfect Lakeshore Property

The house was the perfect balance between rustic camp and well appointed lake house. We had 6 adults, 3 kids, and a dog and had plenty of space with room to spare. Beds and bedrooms were very comfortable even on hot days and evenings. Our 10 year old twin boys claimed the best sleeping accommodations for the week - the sleeping porch! The front porch was perfect for relaxing at all hours of the day. Amazing sunsets doesn’t begin to describe the evening light show… The bay provided endless fun filled paddle boarding and kayaking as well as a place to moor our 20 foot I/O safely all week. The dog spent hours swimming and fetching as well. The flat rocks lakeside serve as a great water level patio too! Deb and Andrew are fantastic hosts and owners. The house and property are well cared for. Definitely on the short list of places to return to!

This house has it all. Beautiful lake views , direct access to swimming and paddle boarding, relaxing on the hammock or on the porch!

Week to Remember

3 generations from 5 states blended into the embrace of this great old lake house. So clean! The shore is so usable in Sept. Maintenance must be a challenge! We loved plenty of hot water, piles of towels, comfortable beds, welcoming big furniture, breezy porches. Grandma loved the sleeping porch. A highlight was midweek fishing charter with Capt Joseph Wells of maelynnguide service@gmail.com yielding 4 delicious fish. Hoping to return!

Magical Lake House with Sunset Views

We loved our stay at this beautiful property on the lake celebrating our mother’s 70th birthday. Our family made so many happy memories, it truly was a magical week. The lake was perfect for swimming… shallow, sandy, and clean water. We enjoyed paddle boarding, kayaking, and anchored up our boat. The property was private with trees all around, a grassy front yard for sitting around the fire or playing yard games. The house was well stocked and has a rustic camp cottage feel which we love. The owners were excellent with communication and responded right away. We love that it’s dog friendly. Our family made so many happy memories… it was a delightful experience and we hope to come back. Thank you so much!
