This was our sixth visit to the Pines since 2017. It is, for us, the happiest place on earth. The owners have made small but noticeable improvements over the years, but the charm and character of the house, the location, and the lake remain. The nearby town of St Albans offers a variety of restaurant options, and the canon is situated just about mid way between Montreal, Stowe, and Burlington.
The owners are always pleasant and communicative, and this year they were proactive in notifying us about a problem with the water quality so we were prepared to bring drinking water with us.
Every year when we leave, we already start dreaming about our next visit. I’d say we’d recommend this cabin to all of our friends, but we don’t want too much competition for the limited availability of our favorite place on earth!
