About this property

Camp Hickory House

Charming Cabin located in St Albans, Vermont. This cabin is on a one acre lot with shared private lake access about a 5 minute walk from cabin.

The space can accommodate up to 4 adults: there is a queen sized bed in the bedroom and a pullout couch which can accommodate two people. There is also a camper hook up on the outside of cabin which can be used for an extra $20 a day to accommodate more sleeping space if you are traveling via camper (click extra guest to add to reservation).

The cabin is located within a community of seasonal cabins and winterized homes — it does have neighbors! However, there is an expansive and private yard which is fenced on one side and surrounded by forest on the other three. The yard contains a screened in patio with ample seating, a fire pit with Adirondack style chairs, a picnic table, a hammock, a swing set, and a small deck which contains a grill and a large standing cooler. There is plenty of space to play yard games (stored in the back shed for your use) and there is a small garden. There is space for several cars or trucks in the driveway as well.

The lake near the cabin has a rocky beach with two docks, one for boat launch and one for pedestrian access. The area is great for walking, birdwatching and wading in the water, and the cabin reservation includes Vermont state park passes which can be used at Kill Kare state park, which is only a short drive away. While it is safe to swim at the camp’s lake access location, Kill Kare state park has lovely beaches and is a more popular swimming spot. The rental comes with access to water shoes, lake floats, and two kayaks

The kitchen contains plenty of basics for your convenience including a stovetop, coffee machine, microwave and toaster oven, pots, pans, dishes and cutlery. We try to keep the fridge and cabinets stocked with basic staples like olive oil, salt, pepper, and coffee, but we would recommend bringing anything you can’t live without!

The cabin is a short, 10-minute drive from downtown St. Albans where you can find excellent coffee, family restaurants and pubs, a market containing health food and specialty items, and some small shops. There are several grocery stores and box stores only about 15 minutes away from the cabin as well, and a convenience store only 5 minutes down the road for snacks, beer, and fishing supplies. Burlington is roughly 40-45 minutes south of the cabin, and boasts a wider selection of restaurants, breweries, and shopping spots.

Great place to stay

We had a great time here! The home was perfect for our visit and we loved the outdoor spaces. Temperatures were perfect for the firepit and sitting outside. We will definitely stay again on our next visit!

great little getaway

This is a great little house, complete with cozy decor, a well-stocked kitchen, lovely outdoor spaces (grill, firepit, and screened-in deck/living room), and plenty of games to play. The neighborhood was very quiet and some friendly dogs from the neighbors came by to say hello. It was a great basecamp for bike rides, paddleboarding at Kill Kare SP, and a lunch in town. Lake Champlain and St. Albans Bay are just stunning!

Vermont vacation

My granddaughter and I had a wonderful time in St Albans. The house was so cozy. We spent most of our time in the outdoor living area. We loved the location. We were visiting family who work at Kill Kare State Park so the location was perfect. Vermont is a beautiful area. I look forward to returning and hopefully renting your house again.

Cozy camp

We enjoyed our stay at Hickory House!. The camp was quiet and everything we needed was there. I had wanted to kayak, but there was no way i could get the kayak to the lake on my own so that was my only bummer

Personal oasis

Just fantastic. I selfishly wish this Camp were my own. Attention to detail and sweet, surprise provisions were top notch. Owners provided excellent communication. We loved the “things to do locally” dossier as well as vintage board games, the fire pit, the Lake and kayaks, and the outdoor screened-in “cabana” were all simply perfection. Thank you!

Wonderful Getaway

This place was perfect for our stay in Vermont. Adelle was super responsive. One morning our power went out & Adelle dropped off an extra cooler and ice to help keep our Vermont cheese cool & fresh. The lake & kayaks were a perfect addition to our stay. Would definitely stay again!

Camp Hickory House Review

We were very pleased with our stay at Camp Hickory House. The camp inside and the grounds were well kept and we literally had everything we needed at our disposal. The owners left us a welcome gift and information packet to help us decide some of our weekly events. The camp is situated in close proximity to the St Alban's Bay public boat landing, so it made our trips to the lake very convenient. We would highly recommend Camp Hickory House to other travelers looking for something other than a hotel room. We wanted the privacy of a home, yet the feeling of camping. Our vacation was amazing and having a great place to stay where it's clean, friendly, and safe is a comfort all in itself. A+ rating for Camp Hickory House. Would love to return in the neat future.
