Funky Lakeside Family Getaway in Alburgh, VT

Funky and fun family escape on the shores of Lake Champlain in Alburgh VT. Golf, restaurants, and fun things to do within a few minutes drive from the camp. This has been our family retreat for years and we have recently remodeled it. If you're into funky wallpaper and you're not afraid of the Golden Girls being on your bedroom wall then you'll love our space. This is our first year renting our beloved family camp and we expect folks to treat it with the same respect as they do their own home.

We're located with a southwest view on Lake Champlain. The sunsets are killer. We have a dock that reaches out about 60 feet onto the lake with a small platform to chill out with a couple of chairs at the end. The water is usually very clear in our spot and our kids and their friends love swimming. The water depth is usually about 3-4 feet deep in the early summer, but gets shallower as the summer wears on. The further out you go, the deeper the water gets, but it doesn't drop off until about 100 yards out.

Further out from the dock, about 100 yards, there is a drop off into deeper water and the fishing is some of the best on the lake. In the mornings and evenings you will see sport fishing boats hanging out and pulling in some lunkers!

Once the summer is in full swing, we have a ton of reeds that grow in the area off our break wall. At first, we didn't like this but then we realized that they provide excellent cover for water fowl like geese and ducks. We also see a bunch of turtles and other marine life. We have several duck families enjoying the shelter of the reeds all year. This natural filter also is part of the reason why the water quality is nice. Our dock is placed on the left side of our break wall so you're not sitting over the ecologically important reeds.

Our camp includes:
1 King Bedroom
1 Queen Bedroom
1 Bunk room with two twin beds on bottom and one queen above it.
A large TV in the living room and a TV in the bunk room for when the kids need to chill.
A screen porch which is an amazing place to read a book or take a nap.
An expansive deck with a table for 6, a grill, and rocking chairs.
A HUGE yard for lawn games.
A rowboat with oars for use for fishing. (bring your own gear)
A Paddle board
Window AC units in each bedroom and one that cools the kitchen and living area.
Various life jackets and fun things in an outdoor storage box.

Our kitchen is fully stocked with everything you need to feed the family. Pots, pans, serving dishes, etc. We have a gas range and a dishwasher.
We have a washer and dryer on site, though we prefer to dry our stuff on the clothesline in the breeze.

We provide linens and towels for use during your stay, but we will ask that you strip the beds and load the washer before you roll out.
We do not have trash pickup where we are, so you will be responsible for removing your own trash and recycling and taking it to a local dump only a few minutes away.
We provide a rules and information book in the kitchen that you will want to make sure to reference.
