About this property

Private Lakehouse with Great Swimming and Epic Sunset Views

Finlay`s Cove is a beautifully & historically restored 4-bedroom, 2-bath lakefront cabin that blends the timeless charm of it`s 1940`s roots with modern living. It was completely rebuilt and expanded in 2018 & enjoys an unbeatable waterfront setting with spectacular western views over Lake Champlain.

The renovation transformed the original cabin into a 2-bedroom Main House with an added `Overlook,` that includes 2 huge bedrooms with windows on 3 sides of each room and spectacular elevated lake views. The Overlook features queen bedrooms, a coffee bar, private deck, and a bathroom with a clawfoot tub and shower. The Overlook is connected via secure and covered set of switchback stairs that open into the hallway of the Main House.

The Main House offers a queen primary bedroom with a private terrace, a bunk room, a fully equipped kitchen with island gas stove, electric oven, a farmhouse sink, oversized refrigerator, and everything needed for family meals. The living room features Stickley leather furnishings, a Vermont Castings wood stove, and an expansive collection of challenging board games. Fourteen large windows surround the living area, filling the home with light and cool lake breezes. A slate rain room shower completes the downstairs bath.

The heart of Finlay`s Cove is the screened porch overlooking the lake. It`s where guests gather for meals, games, and unforgettable sunsets.

Finlay`s private cove offers exceptional swimming from the floating dock with deep, clear water. Guests are welcome to bring a boat or enjoy the two kayaks and two paddleboards provided. Braeloch also offers a tennis court with pickleball lines and a half basketball court.

This is a seasonal home. Heating is limited to the wood stove and bedroom space heaters. For larger groups, our nearby Treetop Yurt (available separately) adds a king bed, composting outhouse, and open-air rain shower, increasing occupancy to 10 guests.

Braeloch is a private lakefront community.
