This is a beautiful and pristine property on the shores of lake champlain. Traveled with my mom and step-dad, my husband and three young children (ages 8, 6 and 2). The property was comfortably accommodated all of us, was cozy, and a lovely place for the kids to be indoors and outdoors. Swingsets and hammock on site. The hosts were gracious and went and above and beyond to help us feel comfortable--even stocked fired pits with wood and kindling. There were kid-sized kayaks, and paddle boards ready for us on the beach. The beach had some seaweed (so bring water shoes!) but was sandy-bottomed and super shallow for a way out which was great for our little people and non-swimmers. Right next door to a public beach with swings, and deeper waters. Spacious screened porches made for lovely slow mornings waking up while looking at the green mountain range across the lake. It's a drive to most activities (and restaurants), but we enjoyed ausable river rafting (5 min), plattsburgh beach and state park (30 min), fairy via essex to burlington and the science center (1.5 hrs incl ferry + drive) and climbing mount poke-o-moonshine. Lovely extra touches like, music playing as we arrived, made our stay sublime. Thanks to the hosts for a lovely time. We'll definitely plan to return!
