Relax and reconnect
The area was perfect for us! Lovely places to walk with the pup near by. We also found several State Parks and rail trail to pass the time. Home was well kept, and had everything we needed. Local pub and brewery are close by and should be experienced.

Best View in Vermont
We had another outstanding stay at this VT slice of heaven. Waking up to the gorgeous lake every morning and watching the sunset every evening is truly magical. One day while I was eating breakfast on the deck, a bald eagle swooped overhead and landed on a branch to my left. Need I say more?

Location, comfort, convenience
Rainy days found us happy to remain at the house simply relaxing and reading. St. Alban’s Bay Park is a quick walk; Burton Island State park and Kilcare State Park are also nearby. All of our needs were met& questions answered: comfortable bed, incomparable views, proximity to St. Albans with its shops and bookstore, a Rail Trail and so much more! Procedural concerns were addressed within a short time frame.

This was our second stay here and it was absolutely perfect. The house is beautiful and had everything we could ask for. So relaxing and quiet to simply sit on the deck and enjoy the lake and all the wildlife. Very convenient to shopping,great restaurants we enjoyed long walks around the park and lake. Looking forward to returning next year.

Perfect Waterfront
This is a gem of a place and location. The property is very organized and well equipped for all you need for a short or long stay. We rented for its proximity to the 2024 eclipse but would not hesitate to rent again. St. Albans is s great town with a number of really good food options. Thank you to the owners for sharing.

This was our second time staying at the property, and it was just as wonderful as the first. The fireplace is cozy and the view unparalleled. My husband and I spent some delightful hours walking the rail trail in St. Alban's as well. Magnificent!

Just returned from a lovely stay in this great house on lake Champlain! The deck is just awesome for watching breathtaking sunsets and just relaxing! We enjoyed lunches in st albans and loved our walks every morning to st albans bay park with our pit bull bam bam..we just love how dog friendly the town is! We also loved kill Kare state park..just beautiful and so close by! The house had everything we needed and was so comfortable.

House was clean and comfortable. The breeze off the lake made the deck a perfect place to be until about 2 in the afternoon when it was just to hot (80s) the breeze of the morning would die out in the afternoon most days. I would rent again. Thanks

So quiet and peaceful
The house was perfect. Very clean and the view was amazing. We couldn’t have been happier-wasn’t anything more we could have asked for. The location was perfect for long walks for us and shorter ones for our dogs. Very close to some great restaurants as well. The deck was fabulous for sunsets and watching all the birds. Everyone was so friendly. We loved it so much that we are booked for next year.

This property was lovely! The view is exceptional and the home had everything that I needed. St Albans is a great little town, about 8 minutes from the home, and had fantastic restaurants, bakeries, and a farmers market on the weekend. Host is very responsive and would highly recommend!

About the host

Hosted by Gene Sink

Host profile image
Gene and Marilyn Sink are retired VT school teachers who now live on Cape Cod.

Why they chose this property

We built this place after tearing down a camp built in the 1930's that was beyond saving. Having spent the last 25 yrs on the lake we want to share this special spot with others who appreciate the lake and the mountains. The living room and deck have unforgettable sunsets and lake views. It is private and quiet while near the small city of St Albans, VT. Burlington is 30 minutes away and major ski areas are less than an hour from this location.

What makes this property unique

This property has spectacular views and direct lake access.
