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.

Loved the cabin and the view!

Great view, loved the screened-in porch, hammock, rocky beach, outdoor fires, walks along the road, local produce at a neighborhood farm. Overall a great experience. Only downside was the neighbors on either side were noisy, but still we would return. Thank you!

Beautiful view on Lake Champlain

Enjoyed the views from the porch of this rustic cabin on the lake. Ok house for 2 adults and children (max 4 persons). One bed is comfortable, the other is not. Unable to determine the temperature of the oven bc the dial is not attached to the stove making it difficult to use. BBQ grill is nice so plan on all cooking outside. Solo stove in the yard for outdoor fire which was wonderful. Host responds quickly to all communication.

About the host

Hosted by Owner Dave Hansen

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.
