About this property

Lake Champlain Waterfront: Amazing Sunsets, Private Beach, and Firepit

This cottage is located in the bluffs area of Hog Island, Vermont and boasts absolutely phenomenal sunsets. It is designed for a relaxing, single family vacation in a nature rich environment. The cottage was recently renovated with new flooring, walls, toilet, vanity, furniture, and fresh exterior paint.

The cottage has one bedroom with a queen bed and an additional sleep area in the divided living room with twin bunk beds. All linens are included.

There is one full bathroom stocked with beach and bath towels, shampoo and conditioner, and hand soap.

Linens/towels/toiletries/plates/glasses/coffee cups/Keurig/coffee/grill/ propane all included. The cottage has a kitchen with a full-sized refrigerator/freezer/stove/microwave.

There is a dining room with a table for rainy day dining indoors (seats up to 6) and a table with an umbrella on the walk-out patio for outdoor grilling and dining (grill on the patio).

There are two window air conditioners that cool the entire cottage along with propane heat for cool nights and a fire-pit on the beach. There is also a lot of space on the front lawn for games and activities.

The cottage has internet/WiFi, games and books.

Down the stairs from the cottage is a private swimming/sunning beach. Amenities include: two kayaks, sun chairs, beach umbrellas, and lifejackets.

It's a great, private place to take a swim or launch on a kayak site seeing cruise along the beautiful shoreline. There is no dock (predominantly west winds) but the front yard offers plenty of space to park a boat and trailer.

There are two public boat launches nearby (West Swanton Boat Access .2 miles and Tabor Point Boat Ramp 4.2 miles).

In addition, we are just steps from Hog Island Market where fishing equipment, bait, fishing license, ice, beer, wine, and groceries are all available.

Campbell's Bay Campground (6mi) is also close by for Pontoon, Motor Boat, or Canoe rentals.

West Swanton Orchard (.9mi) is a great stop for apples, soft ice cream and souvenirs.

Green Mountain Stables is directly across the road where visitors can watch the horses training or take riding lessons, and Missisquoi National Wildlife Refuge Visitor Center is also just one mile away.

The cottage is centrally located within the best Pike, Bass and Walleye fishing grounds on the lake!

For those who want a bit more adventure, the Canadian boarder is just 4 miles north. There is a nice small, waterfront town with several great restaurants called Venice en Quebec just across the border. Montreal is also only one hour north so bring your passports.
