I booked this property for a college reunion where we filled every bed of this house for a week - a week that turned out to be one of the hottest on record (August 2021). Even though nearby South Hero temps were mid-90s, our location remained cool and comfortable due to the prevailing winds off the lake. The water access was excellent for swimming and boating and there was very little motorboat traffic in the area, which made for quiet, unobstructed views of the Adirondacks. The house was charming and my two concerns from the photos - that the kitchen would be too small for large group cooking and that 1.5 bathrooms would not be enough - had been solved by recent renovations, in which they doubled the size of the kitchen and added a second shower (plus an outdoor shower). We spent the week jumping in the water, hanging out on the wraparound porch, eating around the picnic table, stargazing by the firepit, playing volleyball, cornhole, and basketball - and just breathing in the fresh air. The one slight complaint was that the house was hot for sleeping - the result of it being a very hot week and that many of the lovely old windows do not open. There were ceiling fans throughout the downstairs and box fans for every bedroom, so we actively managed the airflow and it worked out. Thanks to the owners who share their special family place with the rest of us!
