About this property
The Big-Lake Lodge at Lake Champlain
Bring the whole family to this great place with lots of room for fun. The size of this home is perhaps its most unique benefit. Very few properties have the open space to host 14 guests without the property feeling "crowded". This property is so large that at times guests may wonder where the kids went....and they are just upstairs in their game room having fun or playing pool.
Rural lakefront neighborhood. We ask of you upon departure that all food is removed from fridge & freezer. Trash is taken care of. Appliances are all off. Gather dirty linen and put it in the bathroom. Double check for any personal belongings. If anything is left behind the item will be mailed to you and you will be charged shipping fees.

We enjoyed our time. Getting to sit on the back porch and play corn hole and listening to the waves crash into shore was amazing. It was very quiet and peaceful stay. Would defiantly let friends know to stay.
The property is elegantly rustic, beautiful views of Lake Champlain. Very well stocked for bathrooms, Laundry, games, televisions, etc. Great Kitchen.We were bookending attendance at a family wedding about 45 minutes away from the property. Very relaxing and beautiful views of the Lake and surrounding hills and forests.The access to the house and then to the Lake are a series of steps that are pretty long and deep. Not well suited to children under the age of 7 or 8 or for anyone with concerns about lots of steps.Remote and somewhat challenging navigation at night to access from the highway.All in all delightful but not for folks with accessibility issues.
We loved the gorgeous views of Lake Champlain and the little rocky beach on the property. The game room was helpful in the evenings and everyone in our group had their own spot. So lovely!
Everything from the house, to the view, to the vibe was perfect. Lake living at its finest. This is a peaceful and quiet place. It has ample space to stretch out and breathe but also quality open space to gather the whole group.
Looking forward to returning again!
We had a lovely family reunion at the cabin. The view is spectacular, the water was lovely for swimming, and the cabin was very comfortable with air conditioning, many comfortable places to sit indoors and out doors with a screened in porch. The pool table was a big hit, and we throughly enjoyed a visit to Ausable Chasm and Rolf's Farm Store.
The place is amazing, spacious and filled with activities so you don’t even need to leave the entire time you’re there. Lifelong memories were definitely made.
If you are looking for a very relaxing place to stay away from everyone i highly recommend here. Its very secluded with an amazing view to wake up.tp every morning. It's also very spaced out so you and who ever you go with aren't all on top of one another.
The house was perfect for our group. The kids (teenagers) had their own bedroom and connecting game room. The bedrooms accommodated the parents nicely. Very comfortable and clean.
The property was clean and well maintained. Floor plan and house layout is unique, but this adds to it charms. Our group went to fish, and this afforded us that opportunity. Would definitely book again.
The house was awesome! The large floorplan enabled privacy when people wanted it and large community areas for socializing! The childrens quarters were perfect, their own lake views and attached to the game room. The large decks provided us with so many beautiful lake views and we loved the kayaks for some relaxing time on the water. I also loved catching a larger laketrout than my brother!!
Our stay was better than we could have hoped for. The property was clean and welcoming. There were no issues with any appliace or amenity. The house was cool, comfortable, and huge . The walk to the beach is like stadium steps steep, but not difficult and well worth it. The mangers were very clear and responsive. The town is quaint and welcoming. The price was well worth it. We had an 20s couple, a 20s, male, a 40s couple, and one teen and one child. Consider costs... the value was unquestionable. Highly recommended this place and the group of managers. Will definitely return.
The Big-Lake Lodge at Lake Champlain was the perfect getaway for my family and my brother's. We were a party of 10 and were completely comfortable in a spacious 2 story house with high ceilings. The views of Lake Champlain from the back porch are spectacular! The house and its surroundings are so peaceful and picturesque. Only issues we had were flies in the house but that's to be expected when you're on the water and in a forest area but Barbara provided fly tape and that mostly fixed the problem. Overall stay was fantastic and we would definitely come back!
The house was nice, large open living area, bunk room upstairs is enormous, plenty of room for people to relax in separate areas if needed, including outside, plenty of things to do in the surrounding areas. Only issues we had were minor, including communication with the manager for trash questions, pool cues had no tips with no chalk to use, a little messy outside (chairs near lake were dirty, under the back deck was dirty), kitchen island is just a small table, bushes on back deck block the view of lake. We really enjoyed our stay overall. Thank you
This is an amazing property. It suited our needs perfectly to visit with family in the area. The house is huge. The views of the lake and sunrises are a bonus. Spectacular. Use of kayaks and paddle boards added to the fun. The kitchen is well-stocked with plates, utensils, pots, pans, etc. Bring extra toilet paper and paper towels, napkins, zip locks, foil etc. Overall, an amazing property. We’re already talking about coming back to this property next year.
House is nice! But the master bathroom is not in the master suite. If you have kids in the bunkbed room, they use the same bathroom. There’s a little hard in the middle of the night sometimes. 31 stairs going down to the lake, which was never talked about in their Verbo profile.
Our large family group had a wonderful time enjoying swimming, paddle boarding, kayaking and boating and fishing. It was worth getting up predawn just to see the gorgeous sunrise from the large deck. The house was very spacious with comfortable beds and seating. We like that the boat landing was so close by though if there had been a dock or mooring for our boat at the property it would have been an added plus. A visit to the close by Ausable Chasm and Highland Winery made our list plus there were a couple of nearby disc golf courses that made our list of activities. This was by far one of our family’s favorite vacation houses and we would certainly love to come back again.
Had a long weekend get together with a handful of friends for my buddies bachelor party. Was nervous about the house not being big enough for 8-9 men but it ended up being more than enough. The house is HUGE and the pictures do not do it justice. House and property were overall very clean and the view to the lake was amazing. Very private property too - tree line on both sides and can abrely see any other houses. The property manager Beth was very responsive with any questions I had as well. Cannot say enough good things about this listing.
Thank you!!
