Perfect lakeside abode

We had a wonderful time at this quaint cabin on the lake. Beautiful sunsets, bird watching and hanging out. The house had all the amenities one needed. We appreciated the kayaks and all the beach accessories. We definitely look forward to a future stay!

Charming lake cottage

Loved our time on the lake in this charming “Camp”/cottage. Felt welcomed with stocked fridge and Vermont goodies. Cottage was thoughtfully furnished with everything we could want. Views of the lake from the living room and front deck were wonderful. Great area for exploring, and just half hour from Burlington. Hope we can return someday.

Vermont Leaf Peeping

Enjoyed the stay. Quiet neighborhood. Right in Lake Champlain. Ease of access to rest of Vermont. Everything is within 2 hours drive. Love that. Wonderful changing of leaves drives. Backroads are the best is Vermont. Thanks

This was a fantastic place to spend some time with the kids. We really enjoyed being right on the lake and spent a lot of time kayaking. The nearby bike path and bike ferry was a lot of fun.

Windy week

The island and the property are just perfect. Weather is weather! It was a stormy week, but still quite beautiful in Vt. We were so glad we stayed in this cozy cabin, it was so nice to relax with the kids before moving our oldest into his dorm at UVM.

UVM Family Weekend Escape

Perfect refuge for me and my daughter on UVM family weekend. Out of the fray and time to reconnect and recharge. Loved having the kayaks (under the stars!) and all the thoughtful touches of the home. This is a gem of a spot. So lucky to have found it. Thank you for sharing it with us.

Beautiful Spot on the Lake

We booked this property to enjoy the total eclipse but got more than just a great view. The house was roomy and well-furnished with anything we could use (linens, towels, kitchen items, etc.). It was super-tidy and welcoming. The beds were a little snug but you can't expect a jumbo bed in a cabin. We would definitely visit again!

Serene & Comfortable with beautiful sunsets

Let's say that I was extremely tempted to rent the place for the rest of the year. It was so pretty, the owner could not have been nicer or more accommodating, and the sunsets were breathtaking. The cabin (or "camp" as it is called in VT) is small but plenty of room for 2 to 4 adults (the one room has twin beds which would also work for kids). It is very convenient - kayaks and life jackets are provided and the storage shed is where we stored our bikes. There is no dishwasher but that was not an inconvenience. The refrigerator was even stocked with eggs and milk and there was a basket with Vermont goodies in it. If you are not fond of reeds touching you, then it wouldn't be a swim from shore kind of experience, but there is a sandy beach a short drive from the cabin on the Sandbar Bridge which is very swimmable. We biked one day to the ferry access and back, 10-ish miles round trip. In short, a wonderful lakefront stay that has stuck with us. I sometimes close my eyes during stressful times and picture sitting on the deck watching the birds and water rippling.

Peaceful Getaway

Breathtaking is the best description of the view from this house. It is perfectly located - a short drive could bring you to a farm stand, hike, or to Burlington for the tasty food scene. The owner was pleasant and easy to communicate with. Highly recommend South Hero for a quiet getaway.

Wonderful family vacation on the lake

This lakeside cottage was great for our family of 4. We enjoyed everything the property had to offer including watersports (kayaks and rowboat) and proximity to local restaurants and attractions. Seb's quickly became a favorite with the kids and we also enjoyed horseback riding on the island as well as the local winery and brewery. Apple Island marina, a few minutes away, was a fun afternoon on the lake with a pontoon rental. The host was easy to communicate with and answered questions and addressed minor issues promptly. Thanks for a great visit!

Wonderful spot!

I stayed with my two boys--9 and 12. The house was perfect for us, with the master bedroom and twin beds in the other bedroom. The bathroom was quite large for the size of the house, and the extra half bath made things that much easier. The kitchen is well equipped and spacious. The house is small and an older style, but all of the furniture and bedding is newer and in great shape. Same for the floors, kitchen cabinets/countertops, and bathrooms. There were plenty of plates and silverware, and all the pots and pans you could need. The window AC unit was much appreciated the week we were there, as it was an incredibly hot week and we would have been sweltering without it. We also made ample use of the kayaks that are available. There is a large side yard that is good for yard games, throwing or kicking a ball around, etc. There is cornhole in the shed but we didn't play it. I agree with the one reviewer who said that the area out front is not great for swimming, which was very unfortunate given the heat we experienced. Most days, we just paddled around the little point to an area that was less weedy, but that meant getting in and out of kayaks in the middle of the lake...much easier for a couple of young boys than it was for this 45-year-old mama! But overall, it's a great location right on the lake and really easy for getting kayaks and paddleboards in and out of the water, which was really what we were there for anyway! This was a great house and we would definitely stay there again.

Recommended! Beautiful location, friendly neighbors, and lots of amenities included.

We really enjoyed our stay at the lake cottage. It was very peaceful and nice location. It was nice to have the kayaks to use. We were able to something different every day. It's close to several nice beaches, a winery, and short drive to Burlington or Winooski. We would definitely go back! Thanks for a great experience.
