Amazing location!
We had a fabulous stay at Duck Blind and hope to return someday. The bay it’s on was mostly frozen (many ice skaters, wind skaters and even mountain bikers out in the ice) so we ventured out a bit which was lots of fun. The property was well furnished, everything you could need in the kitchen, games for kids and adults, comfortable, clean, and slightly bigger than we thought, which was great. While it listed as a 2 bedroom, there’s an additional bunk room in the basement which was great for the kids. I would have liked window coverings in the windows in that room , but that was the only thing I would have changed! We hope to go back next winter, but also interested in warmer weather too!

great location / property
Most amazing views with plenty of privacy. Here on a winter weekend that was warm enough to be on the huge wrap around deck. Everything was clean and plenty of space. Enjoyed the 3 days would definitely rent again.

Peaceful sounds of the lake
Beautiful, isolated location, with water on 3 sides, where you can sit quietly on the large outdoor deck and listen to the waves bumping into the rocks. Walk down the long driveway, along peaceful farmland, for an easy hike in the woods. And all this is not far from the great restaurants and biking in nearby Burlington.

Rest & relaxation
This home is perfect for rest and relaxation. It's far away from the hustle and bustle of a busy city or neighborhood. We had plenty of laughs and the views are to die for.
