This private, rustic cabin on a 40-acre cove will quickly become the quintessential vacation spot for you and your loved ones! Enjoy the very best of Vermont's wilderness with the home's direct Lake Champlain access, enclosed yard, large meadow, and private gazebo. Being one of the few houses in the Chaplain Islands with sandy beaches, and the only house on Isle La Motte with that privilege, scenic days in the sun are always possible. Making your stay that much more magical, the Milky Way is visible most nights of the year.
When you aren't enjoying a lake day with the cabin's floating dock (available seasonally May - September), kayaks, or paddle boards - check out nearby Fiske Quarry Nature Preserve and Goodsell Ridge Nature Preserve. Other landmarks include the wildlife refuge in Swanton and Saint Anne's Shrine. Outdoor enthusiasts will also be thrilled to learn there are nine different state parks and five golf courses in the area to explore as well. Bikers will adore the vast trail system nearby, and winter activities are similarly abundant with the area's stellar ice fishing and snowmobiling opportunities. For those who prefer the thrill of skiing, eight different ski resorts are within two hours away. The island also has two boat ramps within a mile, while a third is approximately five miles away, something boat owners are sure to love.
Lovingly cared for, from the moment you enter the home, you will take notice of the natural light streaming in through the large windows. Throughout the cabin's interior, you'll find hints of rustic charm mixed with modern conveniences. Gather with your loved ones in the living room for a cozy movie night. Or, show off your culinary skills amongst the kitchen's stainless steel appliances and fun backsplash. Full and content, head for the sunroom/screened-in porch where you can play a game of cards and swap stories. Additional interior amenities include partial air-conditioning, a private washer/dryer, high-speed internet (a rarity in Isle La Motte), and a level two electric car charger (30 amp, 7 kW).
As evening nears, gaze out at the mesmerizing sunset views from the floor-to-ceiling windows inside, or outside on the lake's sandy shoreline over a beach campfire. Summer days are especially breezy and comfortable thanks to the northwest wind carrying cool air, a perfect complement to the unobstructed lake views.
