Cozy Cottage on the shores of Lake Champlain with views of the Adirondacks

Cozy one bedroom cottage located on the shores of Lake Champlain. Nestled in tall cedars on McNeil's Bay, across from the Charlotte-Essex Ferry. A spectacular location, with views of the Adirondacks across the lake. Fall asleep to the sounds of waves lapping on the shore and halyards lightly ringing on the sailboats moored in McNeil's Bay.

Views across the lake of Sloop Island and glimpses of the Adirondacks through the living-area window and spectacular views of the Adirondacks from the rocky shoreline less than 40 feet from the cottage.

Private beach, excellent location for bird watching, fishing, kayaking, sailing, standup paddle boarding and swimming. You can rent a sailboat from the Charlotte Sailing Center across the bay or you can moor your shallow-draft motor boat or sailboat in a protected spot steps from the house (trailered boats can be launched at the nearby Converse Bay Fishing Access).

This house is the perfect getaway for one person or a couple. The kitchen is small but functional. You can sit inside in the living area or on the small porch reading and/or enjoying the water, look for fossils on the rocky beach, or walk or bike on the private dirt roads. 20 minutes from the Shelburne Museum, 30 minutes from Burlington, easy access to the Green Mountains or the Adirondacks via the ferry. A favorite activity of ours is to park at the ferry dock, walk on to the ferry, ride to Essex while enjoying the breeze on the lake and the views of the High Peaks of the Adirondacks, get dinner and/or ice cream, and ride home looking at Mt. Mansfield, Camels Hump, and the rest of the Green Mountains.

A cozy simple house in a spectacular location.
