Beautiful, Rustic Spot

My partner and I really enjoyed our short stay here. The cottage was a little more rustic than we expected, but the gas wood stove and the new oven (the latter updated from in the listing photos) were great additions. The cottage is just a staircase away from the lake where we could sit and watch the sun set. We would definitely stay here again.

Beautiful location on the lake. We had 4 adults and found the bedrooms very small. Need second toilet. The cottage is well maintained but showing it age.

Lakefront Cottage

We’ve stayed at this cottage four times now - great location - Dave is a good host and communicates well. Peaceful spot and can’t beat the view. It’s also easy to get to Burlington or across to New York depending on what you’re looking to do.

Cozy cottage in a great location

This immaculately maintained cozy little cottage is situated right at the edge of the shore of Lake Champlain. The sunsets were breathtaking and the area so peaceful and relaxing. Perfect spot from which to explore all the islands have to offer, while also easy to reach Burlington.

The place is private, peaceful, clean and well maintained. Dave, the owner, even warned us of an approaching storm and advised us on how to protect screen porch furniture upholstery from getting wet, so communication was excellent, too.

About the host

Hosted by Owner Dave Hansen

Host profile image
My wife Anne and I have lived in Grand Isle, Vermont for Twenty five years. Now we are raising our three year old son MAX here. Anne takes the ferry to work across the lake in Plattsburgh, NY. When I am not looking after MAX, I work as a Cabinet Maker out of our home here in Grand Isle. We both love to sail and spend a lot of our free time racing sailboats.

Why they chose this property

We found this property twelve years ago. it is just down the street from where we first lived in Grand Isle. We had been looking for a property to invest in for years. when this one became available we jumped on it. We are so glad we did. It is a special place and I hope you will enjoy it.

What makes this property unique

There are a few things that makes our cottage so wonderful. First, It sits only 30 feet from the lake so you feel like you are right there. There is a screened in porch where you can spend long evenings drinking wine and talking about your day or relaxing with a book. One of my favorite things to do is to sit on the lawn in an Adirondack Chair on a nice summer afternoon and watch the sailboats go by. The cottage is a quiet place. It sits 300 feet from a road that is not busy in the first place. If you want to venture out for the day or evening there are great choices. First, there are some great restaurants locally. Burlington is only 30 minutes away and if you have never been to Burlington you need to go. Burlington is a wonderful small city with fantastic restaurants, shops, music, and more. Montreal is a 90 minute drive north. just don't forget your passport.
Grand Isle is a wonderful place to bike, paddle, fish, swim, or just hang out and relax with your favorite drink. I hope you come and enjoy our cottage.
