About this property

Moonpath Cottage at Kibbe Point–the ultimate romantic escape

One of two cottages on the tip of Kibbe Point, South Hero that is surrounded by the waters of Lake Champlain with an easterly view. Its sister cottage Heron Dance can be accessed by a separate listing on the HomeAway site (#242458). Moonpath sits above the water with unobstructed views of Vermont's Green Mountains and several private islands. No cars go by as we are the last property on a private dead-end road. Moonpath is surrounded by 200 acres of lush meadows and 320 feet of very private lakeshore. Exceptionally quiet and nature is all around you. This is the ultimate escape for creative types or anybody that just wants to get away from it all. Moonpath has a private waterside deck as well as another adjacent deck attached to the cottage itself. Moonpath is very charming and is furnished with antiques and comfortable furniture. She is fully equipped with everything that you will need for your stay. 25 minutes north of Burlington; 90 minutes south of Montreal.

Idyllic getaway

This cabin is a true gem on one of the most gorgeous properties I have stayed. The multiple views of Lake Champlain from the cabin, the patio, and the lakefront itself are stunning, and the experience at this property is the height of beauty and tranquility. The owners have put so much love into creating this oasis, I will definitely be back!

Wonderful stay at Moonpath cottage

What a peaceful and tranquil location! We enjoyed listening to the birds and water lapping the shore. The deck was amazing with its view of Lake Champlain and its cool breezes. Jan and Sue were fantastic and responsive hosts. The cottage had everything we needed and was neat as a pin! We plan on returning soon!

We thoroughly enjoyed our escape from the world when we spent a week at this charming, hyper cozy cottage. The owners were gracious and never bothered us. We saw almost no human lifeforms except for when we went to town for food and the most delicious cinnamon rolls we've ever been fortunate enough to consume. The best way to view this place is as a comfy hideout. It is small for sure, so don't bring your whole rugby team; for the two of us and our small dog, it was perfect. It has everything you'll need for a week and shopping isn't far away, although sometimes this means buying your groceries at a gas station. We would suggest avoiding gas station steaks. Burlington is not far away, but for us that meant re-entering civilization. This struck us as an unappealing option compared to reading a good book while glancing occasionally at beautiful Lake Champlain.

Magical escape

This hidden gem tucked away from the world put me under its spell at first look. The coziest cottage I've ever stayed at. The love and care of the owner is evidenced by the decor. Spent a majority of time on the upper deck. I'm a nature lover so I was delighted by the bird song and bunny. At dusk, we had our nightly visit in the meadow by beautiful deer. We will return and again enjoy a peaceful retreat from the world.

Peaceful, gorgeous views, clean & welcoming adorable cottage! We loved every minute!

This was a spur of the moment, 34th anniversary combined with visiting our 2 grown VT sons. The picture here is perfect & we miss it already! We were greeted warmly, lots of informative brochures, our dog, Dusty, loved it so much! Lots of chipmunks & squirrels! The sound of the water lapping the shore, birds chirping, our weather was great for the time of the year. We would come back in a minute! Thank you so much for sharing your slice of heaven with us!

Paradise

We wanted a COOL place to spend some quiet time since we deal with extreme heat in Texas. Not only was the weather perfect but Moonpath exceeded all our expectations. We had everything there we could ever want. The decks are wonderful ... two of them! We spent a lot of time on the decks and gave up a lot of visits to the area simply because the beauty and serenity at Moonpath and the lake was all we needed (or wanted). Beautifully decorated and so many books to read, and we read plenty while there! We met Jan and she is a joy to talk to ... like a friend I already knew!

This quaint cottage was just what we needed for a refuge from the world for a week! We had a great time, and our dog loved the proximity to the water! The cottage was also close to a lovely state park and hiking. We left feeling renewed. Thank you for sharing this lovely place with us!!

Great time at Moonpath Cottage

We had a great week at this delightful, comfortable cottage right on the beautiful shore of Lake Champlain. It is quiet and secluded but close enough to local businesses and major roads that it was a wonderful base for a week of exploring, eating out, shopping and all-around enjoyment. Jan and Sue were ideal hosts. They were helpful and friendly but gave us complete privacy so we could relax and recharge. We would happily stay here again!

Relaxing Retreat

Moonpath is a perfect place for a couple's retreat. Quiet, secluded location with stunning sunrise views across Lake Champlain. The lower deck is a great place for your morning coffee or tea and to just sit and watch the lake traffic. Cottage is cozy and has everything needed for a relaxing week.

Peaceful Bliss!

The moment I stepped onto the deck and then through the front door, I knew my week's vacation would be the most relaxing and rejuvenating one I'd taken in some time. A calm breeze, lapping waves and crickets were my companions. Walking down to the water and watching the sunrise with a cup of coffee and my pup made for a perfect start to the day. Thank you Jan and Sue for an unforgettable experience.

We cannot say enough about this property! It was one of the best trips we have taken. The peace and tranquility is just what we needed and Moonpath did not disappoint!! A little piece of heaven; we spent the whole time on the lower deck and we can't wait to go back! See you next summer (if not earlier!!) The cottage is very clean and the grounds are well kept.

Moonpath Cottage

This is our second stay at Moonpath Cottage. The serenity and beauty of its setting is what attracts us. What struck me the first time we stayed was and is the peacefulness of the cottage and surroundings. Try not to miss sunrise on the lake as well as moonrise that reflects a path of light across the lake. The kitchen has everything needed to prepare meals featuring abundant local produce. We enjoyed visiting orchards and farm stands in October. The weather was ideal.
