About this property

Welcome to the Champlain Chalet! Take advantage of all the lake and surrounding area has to offer from this cozy waterfront cabin. Now open in the winter as well as the summer, you can enjoy the year-round amenities of northwestern Vermont. As soon as you enter, you'll be greeted by unparalleled views from our 275' of direct lake frontage.

In addition to the usual rental season of May-October, we are now open to bookings for the 2023 winter season. Enjoy the off-season with ice fishing on the lake, snowshoeing on local trails and skiing at nearby peaks. Montreal is also a great winter day trip!

The Chalet’s ample living room features high ceilings, a charming wheel spoke chandelier and gorgeous stone fireplace. The open concept kitchen boasts brand new appliances and all the cookware needed to prepare great meals with local ingredients. There is a gas grill as well.

The master suite has a wing all its own with stone flooring and bathroom, all on the wrap around back deck that leads down to the lakeshore. Under the deck are two kayaks and a paddle board.

There is a guest room with full bed, as well as an additional full bathroom. There are two comfy couches in the living room, one of which is a queen pull-out, for additional sleep space if needed.

There are two desks, one in the living room and one in the master suite, for those who need to work while away. There's also a den featuring a large flat-screen tv and cushy seating.

Installed in 2022, there are two AC/heat pump mini split units to keep you comfortable no matter the season.

Installed in 2023, a new wood burning fireplace insert provides both warmth and ambience as we open the Chalet for winter bookings!

Dogs are welcome at the Champlain Chalet, and there are food/water bowls and pet beds for use. If bringing more than two dogs, please contact for approval.

Best family vacation yet!

This house was more than we were expecting. The water was great. Kids had a blast kayaking and fishing. Very nice yard d on the side of the house. Inside was very cozy. The air conditioning kept the climate very comfortable. The beds were comfortable and the kitchen had every we needed. Thank you for allowing us to enjoy your house. We hope to book again next year.

Returning guest

We loved our stay last year so much we came back this year. Loved the upgrades- fire pit and fire place insert. Property was clean and well kept. The views were beyond beautiful. We tried the recommended Kraemer and Kin pub- delightful. Definitely a 5 star place. Love that it’s pet friendly. We will be back!

Break at the Lake

Fully enjoyed my “break at the lake”! Very nice venue. What a night sky, an amateur astronomer’s dream. April 8 2024 there will be a total eclipse occurring. And Alburg is in the zone of totality.

Family vaca

Location is amazing, house is rustic and we just loved that about it. It rained pretty hard when we were there and one thing that was hard not to notice is the gutters has little trees growing out of them. So the water couldn’t properly drain I hope that doesn’t cause issues for them in the future. I overpacked a lot of things they already had so it was a nice surprise to see things I didn’t expect to be there. Having kayaks and paddle boards there for us to try was a lot of fun and a lot of laughs. The views were amazing! I was up each morning but 1 to a beautiful sunrise and we loved watching the boats go by. We didn’t want to leave! Thank you for sharing your wonderful home with us!

Settled right in to a spacious and special home on Lake Champlain!

The property proved to be both private and in a friendly neighborhood. Lovely landscaping, rustic and plenty of space both inside and outside, complete with apple trees, usable deck and views of the morning sunrise and reflections of sunsets on the the water, as advertised, melted our hearts. The host gave accurate info about the lake. We found our way to Alburg Dunes State Park with the best swimming and sandy beach ever. We ended up doing more biking than kayaking and enjoyed it all. Kitchen came well-equipped and very clean! Comfortable and spacious entertaining everyone came easily. We were thrilled with the space and the area and will consider returning next season

Wonderful vacation spot!

The location and home were wonderful. The beds and furniture were comfortable, and all of the appliances were new and worked very well. It was quiet, peaceful yet still easy access to the freeway to visit Burlington. I recommend bringing some bottled water to drink (there is a slight sulfur smell in the pipes) and some birdseed to attract the birds outside!

Heaven On Earth In The Vermont Islands

Beautiful views of the water from the living, dining room, kitchen, and master bedroom. Nice deck and easy access to the water. We swam every morning. The home is private and quiet and has easy access to Isle Lommotte, Grand Isle, and North & South Hero. About 45-1 hour to Burlington. We did lots of wonderful bike rides, touring, swimming, and kayaking (the house has Kayaks and paddle board). Bring drinking water the house water has sulfer smell. But remember sulfur water is suppose to have medicinal powers. Nice big kitchen well stoced with tea, coffee, spices. Comfortable master bed. Very nice stay in this lovely home.

Beautiful cabin getaway

I’ve never wrote a review.. my family and I stayed in this wonderful cabin from June 1st to the 5th. As soon as we showed up we knew it was going to be a wonderful experience! The setting is just perfect, house is very very beautiful and quaint, area is quiet and calm. We will definitely be back and definitely recommend this place to anybody looking for a quiet fun lake experience. Lots of cool farm stands to get good quality food just about 15 minutes away. *****

About the host

Hosted by Anna K.

After visiting Northwestern Vermont regularly for over five years, we realized we had a special connection to this area and finally decided to take the plunge and invest in a house there to call our own.

Why they chose this property

Lake Champlain is truly magical, and when we saw the Chalet, we knew it was "THE" house. The views of the lake are amazing, and its calming energy washes over you. After a year of having the house to ourselves, we've decided to open it to visitors so we can share this special place with others.

What makes this property unique

Vermont is an amazing place; and the northwest corner is no exception. It may seem remote, but that's part of its charm. Life seems to slow down around here, but you still aren't too far from civilization. It's a fantastic place to unwind and recharge!
