About this property

Year Round Lakeview Cottage with Dock on Lake Champlain

Year round activities in a private lakeview cottage!

Winter:
We are located on the VAST trail (Corridor 78) for snowmobiling with direct access right out of our driveway! Plenty of off street parking for your trailer and machines. Amazing ice fishing right in front of the cabin as well! An hour from Jay Peak, 1.5 from Smuggler's Notch, and 2 hr. from Stowe Mountains for skiing and riding.

Spring:
Spring skiing in the mountains or mountain biking once the snow is gone. Visit a Maple Sugar house, see maple syrup being made, and try the famous "sugar on snow." Of course, Spring is amazing fishing here; it is prime time Salmon and Walleye season in this area!

Summer:
Boating, fishing, swimming, biking, hiking all directly from our cottage! Our dock is directly across the street. A short 5 minute walk down the road will take you to a beautiful sandy swimming beach. Summer concerts, beer festivals, food fairs, farmer's markets, amusement parks, are all 30-45 minutes or less on a day trip to Burlington, Montreal, or St. Albans. Visit the Vineyards and farmer's markets or go antiquing in the Champlain Islands, 10 minutes away.

*We do now share our dock and deck/access with the neighbors, a nice couple. They do not live there full time and are very rarely around so most of the time it will be all yours! They do not have a boat on the dock so that will be the same as it has always been; open and available for your boat during your stay!

Fall:
Foliage is breathtaking in this area! We are connected to the gorgeous Lake Champlain Islands via bridge, only a beautiful hour drive from Jay Peak and 1.5 hours from Stowe with amazing foliage and views! Many Fall fairs, apple festivals, brewery tours, vineyards, music festivals, and of course fall fishing! Duck and goose hunting is big in this area this time of year as well.


For Fisherman:
This area is known for catching unbelievable trophy winning small and large mouth bass, walleye, pike, perch and crappie literally right off our shore! Bass really love the trestle bridge out front and the Missisquoi river to the north. If it's salmon you are after, a short boat ride south will get you in fantastic salmon territory! Hog Island Market is 2 miles away and accessible by car or boat in minutes for fishing licenses, live bait, tackle, boat gas, and snacks. Campbell's Bay Campground is 3.5 miles away for fishing licenses, boat gas, pontoon rentals, tackle, snacks and is accessible by car or boat as well. This spot is MADE for fisherman!
We are located in between the Route 78 Alburgh/Swanton bridge and trestle bridge in East Alburgh, VT. We have a large off-street parking spot, with electricity, for your boat and trailer. You can drop in at the Larry Greene/West Swanton public launch 1/4 mile away (just across the bridge) and tie up to our dock with-in minutes! Our dock is directly across the road from our cottage. Keep your fishing and boating gear safe and secure in our large screened in porch.

For Golfers:
We are located 15-30 minutes from 4 fantastic golf courses! Voted one of the best in Vermont, Alburgh Golf links, is 15 minutes away with beautiful lake views. Champlain Country Club and North Country Golf Club are both 20 minutes away. If you bring your passport the Club de Golf International 2000 is right across the border 25 minutes away!

For couples and families:
Our dock, directly across the road, has a 10X12 ft deck for swimming and sunning with easy access to bring all the water toys you'd like. A row boat and life jackets are included in the rental. Our bay is calm and great for kayaking and SUP. Storage under the deck for all your toys as well. A short 5 minute walk down the road to the south of the trestle bridge, will take you to a beautiful sandy swimming beach that is typically deserted so will most likely be all yours! There is also access to walking and biking trails there. We have a very large and private backyard for lawn games and 2 fire pits for roasting marshmallows under the stars. We are 2 miles from the Missisquoi National Wildlife refuge with great nature trails and bird watching. Sandbar beach on Maquam shore, just a few miles to the south, is a popular spot for anchoring, swimming, and picnicking for the day. We are an hour from Jay Peak, Montreal, and Burlington if you are looking for more public adventures.

The cabin has been completely refurbished on the inside with brand new beds, memory foam mattresses, and linens. We want your stay to be as easy and effortless as possible so we are providing bedding, bath and swimming towels, and toiletries for your comfort. We also have a fully stocked kitchen with new stove, fridge, microwave, utensils, cookware, dinnerware, coffee pot, toaster, ect...

Your rental includes free WiFi and a new smart TV to easily watch and listen to your favorite Pandora, Netflix, Amazon and YouTube music and movies and much, much, more!

Sleeping arrangements: 1 queen bed in the first bedroom. 2nd bedroom has an adult bunk with a queen on the bottom and a full size mattress on the top. The loveseat in the living area folds out into a twin. We can sleep 4 single adults, a family of 5, 2 couples, or 2 couples and 2 children comfortably.

We are year round and have heat for cooler months and AC in the Summer. We have an attached screened in porch for all your toys and gear that wraps around into a covered deck for grilling and relaxing after a day in or on the water.

The cabin is smoke and PET FREE. NO DOGS are allowed. Off-street Parking has room for 2 vehicles in the driveway and an additional truck and boat trailer in side spot.

It was good

It was fine- nothing fancy- nice little cottage on the lake as advertised. I’d stay again- my only note would be that the place needs to be turned over/ actually cleaned prior to new guest. I had to spend about an hour wiping off all the dust from tables, chairs, window sills, counters and sweep plus mop the floors. Once that was done it was ok. That was the biggest bummer as all I wanted to do was relax once I arrived. Thanks.

Average

Nice cabin but in a so so neighborhood. We fund a sock under the furniture but mostly clean. We would suggest installing security bars outside the bathtub would help getting in the shower. A light over the sink is needed. The WiFi is very capricious.

Recommendations

Directions in binder where private Sandy Beach is located...( Path by railroad tiles ...just passed the crossing Oil all door hinges ..that way won't wake up others that are still sleeping...since no AC in bedrooms have to leave doors open to be comfortable in the bedrooms. Remote died and no AAA batteries, so went and bought some at DG store New grill ..that one worked but not hot only front part had flames...no way to cook food for 5 people. Door code only work to get in...so couldn't lock the doors when we left...which really wanted to!?! Fire pit on beach ... should be added like the round ones neighbors Beach has ...one there was all grown up and way toooo buggy where located and no sitting around it. My recommendations to make the stay better... ones sleeping

Tired

Overall the property was fine. No dishwasher. No TV. No internet. I contacted the owner about the last two concerns. They said batteries foe the remote were in the laundry room. There was only one. I contacted about the wifi and did not get a response. We had the a/c set at 60 degrees and it never got cooler than 70 degrees. I did read prior to our arrival to bring water for drinking....but I was not prepared for the sulfur smell. Nor were we prepped for the handy man shoveling outisde our room at 8am.

Nice cottage and location!

We enjoyed our time in this cottage so much last spring that we booked it again for this spring. The cottage is minutes away from the Missisquoi National Wildlife Reserve and Lake Champlain boat launch. There is so much to do here and it’s perfect for people who enjoy fishing, kayaking, birding, or walking nature trails. The cottage was very clean and thoughtfully appointed. We’ll be back.

Wonderful stay on the lake!

My family and I had a great little getaway for two days at this location. Check in was super easy and Khara was very receptive to any questions we may have had. The cottage was very clean, cozy, and the beds were very comfortable! Definitely am going to re book another weekend for a small getaway again!

Great area in a nice neighborhood

We enjoyed our stay in East Alburg cottage. The beds were super comfortable, giving us a restful night. We did not know how to stay on their property as it was so overgrown. When we found out where [behind neighbors mailbox] we still couldn’t enter because husband discovered steps and deck were in such bad shape. Probably from recent storms.The coffee pot was old, wet, & dirty we had to purchase vinegar to clean it before using. Area was clean except for thick dust buildup on exhaust fan in bath. Microwave was used as our breadbox only because plates weren’t microwaveable. I don’t have ocd, but these little things are important to me. This cute little cottage is stocked well and will be a perfect place to stay when these dangerous areas are taken care of.

A nice cottage that’s in a great location

My husband and I had a great vacation while staying in Khara and Steve’s cottage. It is immaculate and is equipped with everything you will need for a stress free vacation. The cottage is in a quiet neighborhood just minutes away from the Missisquoi National Wildlife Reserve. Natural beauty is everywhere. Communication with Khara was excellent. We enjoyed ourselves so much that I have already booked our vacation at this cottage for next year.

Charming "home base" cabin for exploring this Lake Champlain area.

This cabin was such a pleasant surprise! Super clean, appointed nicely and perfect to come back to after each day of exploring! It is an older cabin so things were dated, but that just added to the charm. It had everything needed for a comfortable stay, in a very quiet neighborhood. We had so much fun in the area. We came to fish, but the water levels and crazy weather patterns didn't make it easy. We did fish Sandy point - literally a stone's throw across the bridge . We visited Hog Island Market, Alburg Dune's State Park (beautiful), ParkHero's Welcome General store and took a drive into Montreal for a day. There is a train trestle out front and we got to see a couple trains, which was very cool. We didn't use the dock or deck by the lake because of the weather, but we did enjoy sitting on the covered front porch looking out at the lake. Khara was really nice and did everything she could to make us feel welcome. I would definitely stay again!

Relaxing cottage

Very quaint cottage, nice neighborhood area, very quiet. Loved the kitchen reminded me of being in my grandparents kitchen as a kid in Connecticut back in the 80s, loved it. The seating was challenging in the living room, but for 2 people all good. Dock down at lake, needs some attention. Over all loved the place.

About the host

Hosted by Khara and Steve Henry

Host profile image
Steve grew up in this area and would spend summers here on the shore fishing and swimming with his brothers. Wanting to preserve those fond memories he and his brothers have purchased multiple properties in the neighborhood and have been renovating them for family use the past few years and now have begun renting to share this beautiful shoreline with other families. We boat, fish, snowmobile, golf, and relax in the area at our cabin down the road and can give recommendations for anything you are looking for!

Why they chose this property

Lakeside privacy in quiet neighborhood but less than 1 hour from all the action in Montreal and Burlington! One of the very few year round rentals in the area. One of the ONLY rentals with a boat dock!

What makes this property unique

A very magical area, Alburgh is a peninsula bordering Canada and connecting the 'mainland' of Vermont with the infamous Champlain Islands. A must do excursion with breathtaking Views of the Green Mountains in Vermont and the Adirondacks of New York surrounding you as you drive along Lake Champlain. One of the few working Trestle Train Bridges left in New England is right out your front door! Enjoy watching the train cross the water as you sip a drink from the lakefront deck. We are the ONLY lodging in Vermont that is on the VAST trail AND Lake Champlain for snowmobile and ice fishing enthusiasts! Wildlife refuge and walking trails right down the road. The best fishing in the state out your front door- so good televised Bass tournaments are filmed in the area! You can relax in your private, nature filled cabin and it is only a 45 minute drive to Burlington, VT or Montreal, Quebec to experience top notch restaurants, shopping, art and theatre!
