About this property

Summer Time at the Big-Lake Lodge on 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 kindly ask that you ensure the following tasks are completed before your departure:

1. Remove all food items from the fridge and freezer.
2. Take care of the trash.

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.

Family Wedding 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.

40th Anniversary weekend!

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!

A week on Lake Champlain

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.

Nice, spacious, quiet area

This property was great for a large group. Plenty of sleeping and dining space. 3 bathrooms with 3 showers was a big plus with a large group. Definitely glad we were advised to bring water shoes as the beach area is very rocky however having a little section of Lake Champlain to ourselves was amazing!

Relaxation

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.

Beautiful Lake House

Truly enjoyed our time with family and friends at this perfectly located waterfront house. It was just right for our group with enough separate rooms for privacy, shared linving spaces and water access. We loved watching the sunrise with coffee in the morning and fires on the rocky beach as the sun set. Its also near a brewery and winery so another plus! Loved our visit and would recommend to others looking to have a large group get together.

Great unique gem on the lake

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.

Great way to create memories with the family!!!!

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!!

Beautiful Views and Spacious House For Everyone

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!

Relaxing atmosphere, great location

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

About the host

Hosted by Barbara Davidson

Host profile image
Owned by a family looking for a place to make their own memories as their children grow up. This home has been designed to allow each person to have their own space while the open floor plan keeps everyone together for group events. Comfort and convenience have been the focus of the furnishings and staging. The master suite is set up to allow the occupants to enjoy their own private after-dinner glass of wine while sitting on their private deck and then to brew their coffee and relax as the sun comes up over the lake the next morning. This family wants their guests to enjoy the same memory-making opportunities at this lodge as they have experienced themselves.

Why they chose this property

This property was specifically selected because of it's location. The setting is private and wooded and allows the guests to feel as if they are in the heart of the Adirondack Park. The waterfront location on Lake Champlain allows the guest to have the best of both worlds - The Adirondack Park and Lake Champlain. Boating, sailing, paddling, jet skiing and swimming make those hot summer days pass quickly when it is too hot to hike those high peaks of the park. Why this property? LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION.

What makes this property unique

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.
