Lake view and pet friendly. Very comfortable beds. Very clean. House can get a bit hot at sunset but the view is beautiful! Strongly recommend water shoes because water access is very rocky. Water was warm and refreshing!

Thank you Lauren for the review! We unfortunately had the Ash trees taken down that provide late afternoon shade on the house (see pics in listing that show shade). The emerald ash borer beetle has wiped out all Ash trees in VT recently. We took 7 trees down alone on our property. We are placing Maple trees in replacement to bring the shade back. But all tree services in the area are very busy. It will be better next year when the Maples are in. Thanks!

This is a great house, with lake access and amazing views of the water. Inside, the main room is bright and airy, the bedrooms are a good size, and the downstairs family room gave our teenagers their own comfortable space to hang out, watch TV, etc. Outside there is a nice big deck (where I spent most of my time), a small grassy side yard with some shade and a fire pit and, of course, the lake. Since the house is fairly new, everything works and is in good condition. We appreciated that our dogs were welcome.

Overall we were extremely happy with the property. It was well stocked with necessities and was accurately described on site. The dock was broken from a storm and needed to be fixed so that was disappointing but it was being repaired as we were leaving,

Great place to stay!

Enjoyed this property very much! It had everything that we needed to enjoy our stay. The house and property were clean and had ample linens, towels, etc. The access to the dock and water was fantastic and facilitated kayaking and paddleboarding very nicely. We brought our two paddleboards but the extra board and two kayaks that are furnished made sure that we could all get out on the water at the same time. The house is close to the towns of Swanton and St. Albans…Nice grocery stores and places to grab a nice dinner. We would definitely come back to this property!

Beautiful and relaxing getaway

The view was breathtaking! Very relaxing, very quiet when we stayed. My only negative comment is that the house needs a good cleaning. It wasn’t terrible and it is dog friendly which is a huge plus for us - but the spider comments are true - I was a little creeped out and was cleaning constantly - could just be me…but just saying. All said, we were very happy staying there with our 2 dogs.

Christine, Thank you for the review and sorry to hear about the non-clean / spider issues. We take many steps to ensure the house is properly prepared for guests including extensive cleaning and a professional service for addressing insects/spiders. Almost all of our reviews mention how clean the house is. Apologize the conditions were not to your expectations. Regarding the spiders...we have made changes and are now working with a new insect control company. While we expect this to improve the spider elimination issue, we also know it is impossible to stop all insects when the house is right on the lake. Thank you again for your stay at our house! Kyle

Our Memorable Family Vacation

When we arrived the view was breathtaking. The house was clean and beautifully decorated! (Even gave me some ideas!) The home was in a quiet friendly location. We were able to sit down by the water with our dogs, who went swimming with us. We also were able to take our boat out ! The weather was beautiful and the lake calm. We loved sitting out on the deck eating dinner and having the view of the lake, also the fireplace was in an awesome spot to look out over the lake! We would highly recommend this rental, we would definitely love to stay here again!! You guys went above and beyond with your accommodations!!! Thank you for a very memorable family vacation!!!!

A great place for a family vacation!

It was a fabulous experience! A great space to relax and play with kids and teens. Plenty of space for those who want time on thier own balanced by communal space to engage in in-door and out-door activities. Quiet location, perfect views, rural but not isolated. Easy to get to Burlington or Montreal for day or half day trip. Just about everything you could imagine you would need in the kitchen. Beds were comfortable, plenty of linen. Board games and the like for all ages. Swimming had some sea weed, but that is expected. Water shoes a msut to bring. Kyle could not have been more responsive, he deserves his stars as a host. A wonderful week away!

Wonderful lake house

Our experience with this property was definitely 5 star. The owner had great communication and was extremely helpful while I was planning. The house is in a perfect location. The view is amazing. Easy access to the lake. Quiet neighborhood. The house was very well equipped. Everything we needed to cook for the week my family. I loved that items like condiments & paper products were supplied that we have always had to supply ourselves everywhere else we have rented. It makes it so much easier grocery shopping. This is our first experience with VRBO and everything went smoothly. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience.

Lakeside family fun

Overall we had a wonderful stay, in spite of record rains and local flooding. The location is great, right on the lake. We took advantage of the kayaks and paddleboard. The living space on the main floor is a little small, so tough for a large group during bad weather. The main floor would benefit from a ceiling fan. The living space on the bottom floor is nice, just not so convenient for accessing the kitchen. But the configuration can be seen in the listing photos, so that's on us for not considering that ahead of time. The deck was great for use during nice weather. The side yard is spacious and good for lawn games. The location of the fire pit is nice, and there are plenty of chairs surrounding it. One of the bedrooms had a window fan which sucked in bugs so a window AC unit would be a nice improvement. Also the grill needs a good cleaning, or should be replaced.

Wonderful location with incredible sunsets

This home comes exactly as advertised. It’s spacious and well-provisioned. Most homes we’ve rented have limited supplies we’ve needed to restock - this was not the case here. Having four bedrooms and three full baths was excellent. We spent lots of time paddling and enjoying the lake, watching great sunsets every night, and sitting by the fire pit. Successful fishing right off the dock as well. There’s not much need to go elsewhere, but it was an easy jaunt to Montreal one day, and another to Alburgh Dunes/North Hero to explore. And we visited Maple City Candy more than once for maple creemees. There was a day and a half where the blue green algae was bad; we tracked it on the state app and used those days for excursions elsewhere. We all loved our time here. As a mom, I loved that the television is on the basement level so when we were up on the main level we could just listen to the lake or interact with each other. Watching my two teens work on a puzzle when they weren’t on the water was gratifying. And, spiders and insects were not an issue in the house. It was perfectly clean and ready when we arrived. A very relaxing and enjoyable vacation.
