This home was perfect for our family vacation! The location was great, offering easy access to both the bike trail and the beautiful lakefront. When it was time to unwind, we were spoiled with choices of the lovely porch swing, the back deck, the spacious fenced backyard, or the relaxing hot tub.The house itself is incredibly charming and well laid out. It provided more than enough room for us and our three adult children (plus one partner): everyone had their own space to relax without ever feeling confined. We also enjoyed coming together nightly to enjoy cozy dinners around the lovely kitchen island. The home was well-stocked and fully equipped for our needs—it was even a nice bonus to find a well-stocked spice drawer and a second fridge. We truly felt right at home and didn't find ourselves lacking for anything.We also loved the local area! We had a fantastic time visiting the nearby Snow Farm Vineyard (thanks for the wonderful suggestion!), as well as an excursion to Waterbury to visit Ben & Jerry’s, Cabot, and Lake Champlain Chocolates. Walking and biking along the nearby Causeway was also fun and the lake views were spectacular.Regarding the hot water for showers, it simply takes a little while to warm up, which actually served as a great reminder for us to slow down and embrace the relaxed pace of vacation. We had such a wonderful stay and would highly recommend this home to anyone looking for the perfect Lake Champlain Island getaway!
