Absolutely Fantastic Family Vacation Spot - Fox Meadow Lakefront
Located right on Lake Champlain in Addison Vermont, we are pleased to offer this wonderful vacation property for the first time. This property was purchased in 2015 with the intent of offering a unique waterfront property with ample capacity for large family occasions. The year round home is owned by a Connecticut builder, he and his family have created an upscale vacation home, specifically designed to take advantage of the breathtaking views of the lake as well as the landscaped grounds that surround the home.
This house is nearly 3000 square feet. While the original log home has been completely renovated with a gorgeous post and beam addition added to provide a state of the art kitchen, living room , a large master suite, a large suite facing the grounds, as well as a bathroom that is shared by both suites.
As you enter the lake house, you cant help but notice that the flooring is spectacular with Vermont maple flooring throughout. The custom cherry kitchen provides for the needs of nearly all levels of cooking skills, with stainless steel appliances, double oven, as well as a gas cooktop located on an island with Cherry cabinets and a gas cooktop. The design of the kitchen allows for wonderful flow and utility, making a fantastic spot to hang out before, during and after family meals.
Each bedroom has a wonderful view to sit and enjoy the Vermont wildlife that abounds. There is also a large family room on the cabin side that provides a nice comfortable atmosphere, separate from the living room and kitchen. Plenty of Places to Relax!
The house sits right on the lake. From the lake house, you can sit anywhere on the 70 feet of porch/deck and enjoy the lake. For those that choose to be more adventurous, On the beach we have 100 feet of dock, located in a protected bay. Safe for swimming, fishing, boating, or just enjoying the sunsets. Great for families! We offer free use of our row boat and kayaks.
While staying here, you will certainly enjoy the privacy you are seeking. However, the location is perfect for getting out and doing things. The Marina is close by for those of you who may want to keep your boat there. One of the areas busiest restaurants is only 1/4 mile away. They make a great breakfast! Additionally, for our guests, we have a list of restaurants we have found worth adventuring out.
Burlington is only 32 miles north, Middlebury is 18 miles to the west, Port Henry New York is right across the lake, an easy drive using the bridge.
I've been told that Lake Champlain is one of the top 5 bass fishing lakes in the United States. In early summer, they hold a national tournament, which is fun to be a part of. Less than a half a mile away this spring, a record breaking lake trout was caught within site of our dock. Maybe you could be the next record breaker!
Comments that I have received back from travelers that have stayed at this lake house have described it as "stunning", "majestic", and "relaxing".
We allow pets on a case by case basis and charge an additional cleaning fee at the end. Additionally, we do require pet insurance which is built into our fee structure

The house is in a beautiful location. It is very clean, and has all that you need for a good time. The host responded very quickly and was very friendly. I will be recommending this place to my friends.
Joe was a great host. PromptCommunication! House is beautiful with even better views! Great lake access for some of Champlain finest fishing! Hope to go again soon!
We went to celebrate NYE as a family and appreciated the holiday decor at the house to continue the holidays. Loved having the two main living spaces for family to hangout. House was clean and cared for. Kitchen was great for preparing meals and hanging out. Furniture and beds were comfortable. Would stay again.

We were happy to host Steven for his event. We were pleased to see they had a party boat at the dock and made good use of the kayaks, row boat and floating raft.
We had a wonderful stay. Property is spacious and clean. Views of the lake are beautiful. Owner was very quick to answer any questions we had. This was our second time staying here and we hope to stay here again in the future. Beautiful place!
House is very nice. Likes having out on back deck on adk chairs looking at the lake. Kitchen was nice well stocked for cooking. The dock was nice for kids to fish with kayaks and off dock.

Our family had a nice time staying at the property.
The views and access to the lake were outstanding. The property was very clean, spacious, and accommodating for families (2 cribs and a changing table!). The space provided the perfect place for a gathering of three small families. We would definitely book again
Property was beautiful . the house is large and sits looking out over the lake just puts you in a relaxing mode. the view of the bridge is wonderful. We were all very happy to stay at this home. we had privacy and all the comforts we could ask for. we have stayed other places but consider this the best of all. Paul
The house was perfect for our family Thanksgiving, with plenty of bowls, serving dishes, etc.. for the 17 people in our family that met up there for dinner, and plenty of room for the 8 people that spent the night. We love that the house is very dog friendly too as my sister brought her dogs along. We had an issue with the heat the first day and Joe responded immediately and got someone out there to take care of it right away.
Our family of 4 (2 teen boys) had a great weekend of ice fishing and enjoying the snow in VT. House was clean spacious, comfortable and had everything we needed. Would definitely book again.

About the host
Hosted by Joe Breen
I am a builder from Connecticut who specializes in the complete renovation/restoration of homes from the 1700 and 1800's.
Why they chose this property
This spot is located on one of the most scenic lots I have seen on the Lake. the acreage surrounding the home lends itself to a scenic and breathtaking view in every direction. While the original structure was a log home, we added a unique blend through a post & beam addition. The result is a fantastic country retreat. As soon as you enter the property, a sense of relaxation sets in.
What makes this property unique
This lake house has it all; Privacy, beauty, convenience, all tied into all the amenities you enjoy with complete access to the lake. This is not a camp but a year round lake house. Whether its water sports in the summer or sledding down the hill towards the lake in the winter. This was designed for family fun. Not many places on the lake have this amount of capacity without crowding. A great pick to get together for family reunions, weddings, graduations, and the like
