About this property

Private Sandy Beach, Kayaks, Mountain Views, Beach Bonfires, Bikes, Pet-Friendly

Welcome to your private Lake Champlain retreat — a rare 100-foot-wide sandy beach just steps from your door, with panoramic views of Vermont’s Green Mountains. This secluded 3-bedroom, 2-bath home sleeps 8 and offers everything you need for a perfect summer escape. Spend your days kayaking, paddle boarding, or relaxing on the soft sand. Evenings bring beach bonfires under the stars — firewood included. The lake bottom is sandy and shallow, perfect for kids and wading. Boats can be moored or pulled up directly on the beach. Inside, enjoy a fully equipped kitchen, air conditioning, washer/dryer, and comfortable sleeping arrangements for families or groups. Bikes are available for exploring the quiet gravel road and surrounding area. Pet-friendly, too! Located in the heart of the Adirondacks, you’re just minutes from Ausable Chasm, Lake Placid, and the ferry to Burlington. Whether you’re here for adventure or relaxation, this is the lakefront experience you’ve been dreaming of.

If you are looking for a peaceful, relaxing vacation this is the spot to pick. Second time here and sitting out on the back patio watching the lake and birds drinking our coffee is just how I remembered it. Stand up paddle boarding on the lake as well as exploring the Ausable river was a great way to spend a warm summer day. Happy also to bike the Causeway bike way to Burlington bike way which has been on my bucket list. The owner, Karol, is a kind, caring person who is very responsive to any questions we had.

Had a wonderful time! We had a little bit of trouble finding the place because GPS was a little misleading, but we were thrilled at the house and the views of lake Champlain! Important to note that each guest is responsible for a full cleaning of the property including washing sheets and towels, cleaning all rooms including the kitchens and bathrooms, taking out the trash and recycling etc. I like this as it keeps us from paying for a large cleaning fee, but it's also helpful to know that it's the expectation in advance. We ended up bringing our own sheets and towels so we could avoid the laundry and that worked great! Will absolutely stay here again, we had such a lovely weekend!

Post retirement getaway

I just retired and wanted to get away for a few days to unwind. The place had everything I needed. The weather was beautiful, the area was beautiful and the view of the lake beautiful. So glad I decided to stay here rather than a hotel.

Wonderful stay with lots to do. Place comes well equipped for biking, kayak paddling, paddle boarding and even has the life jackets and bike helmets. Gracious host met us on arrival and updated us on activities available and general info of what’s in the area. The views of the green mountains and Lake Champlain never got old.

We had a great time at Karol's camp! It had everything we needed for a great week. The beach was great. We enjoyed sitting around a fire on the beach many a night. The camp was clean and comfortable. We would recommend Karol's camp to anyone looking for a relaxing time on Lake Champlain.

Perfect and Peaceful

Our stay here was absolutely lovely!! The owners provide everything you need to have a fun and enjoyable lake stay. The house is rustic and quaint and the perfect size for our family of 6. It is off the beaten path but still close enough to take fun day trips if you choose. We enjoyed peaceful days on the beach and water, along with campfires at night. Will definitely be returning in the future.

Perfect Location

We had a wonderful stay with family members at this cozy and comfy lake house. This camp has all the amenities to help you enjoy the beautiful Lake Champlain area. Several evenings we sat on the beach and enjoyed a bonfire while gazing across the lake to Vermont. A big thank you to our host, Karol. Your communication was excellent and we would not hesitate to return to this beautiful lake property in the future.

Perfect summer beach house

This beach house had everything our family needed for relaxing and fun. Adirondack chairs on the front covered patio, canvas chairs for the evening firepit down by the water, beach chairs, boats and a magnificent view. The cottage is comfy with plenty of rooms for our family. The kids played in the sand and sandy bottom lake was shallow enough for our 5 year old. Karol is great and answered questions immediately!

Relaxing mini-vacation at camp

This camp was wonderful. It was so easy to pack and get away- the owners have thought of so many details and there is so much available here to use! The water is not drinkable, but the host supplies bottled water, which we appreciated tremendously (we have stayed at places before where we must bring our own and it is so burdensome). The location is amazing, with lake access, and incredible views of the mountains. We enjoyed watching the trains go by and the geese flying South. So easy to just relax and enjoy! We hope to go back.

Mountaineer Top Notch Camp

This Camp is amazing, it has all the amenities you need, wood for the fire pit, washer & dryer, fully stocked kitchen as well as a garage full of fun things to use in the water. Bugs can be bad so make sure you bring bug spray. We sat by the fire pit every night and looked at the constellations which was absolutely amazing. Karol & Joe are very kind and helpful with whatever we needed. Looking forward to going back again next year.

Kids said best vacation rental ever!

Family loved the beach and all the games, from shuffle board, beach Frisbee, fishing, paddle boarding, kayaking. Bonfires on the beach at night with our s'mores. It was the perfect relaxing vacation with our large family. There was so much for them to do age 15, 14 and 12. At night inside we played cards at the large kitchen table. It so nice to go somewhere and the kids hardly touched their phones. Thanks again.

This is one of the most beautiful places we have ever stayed on vacation. We most definitely will be back probably around May. Karol was amazing. She first of all had to help us find the place way back off the road. Then then she gave us all kinds of ideas as to where to go for sightseeing. We had an amazing time. She was very patient and accommodating. She was ready to help whenever we needed it. We highly recommend this place for a quiet getaway and beautiful scenery.
