Sit on the dazzling waters of Lake Champlain and experience waterside living at its finest when you and your family escape to Colchester! Fun can be curated right from the comfort of your stay as you play on the beach and then barbecue come nightfall. When venturing away from your vacation rental, check out the nearby parks, beaches, and the drive-in theater.
Lounge in the spacious living area after a day spent in the sun. Here, you can warm up in front of the fireplace while engaging in playful competition over a board game or watching a movie. The chef of your family will be delighted with the modern kitchen's gleaming countertops, farmhouse sink, stainless steel appliances, and breakfast bar. Dine inside or outside, depending on your mood.
Each bedroom, as bright and airy as the last, will be a welcomed escape for your loved ones. Grab a book from the home's mini library, refresh your clothes in the private washer/dryer, and practice self-care while soaking in the bathtub.
Wake up each morning excited to create more life-long memories!

The house is beautiful and very well equipped. The layout allowed us all to have quality time together - which was great because we had 3 generations visiting! We absolutely look forward to visiting again in the future.
Our family had a great stay and enjoyed this home. The home was clean and the kitchen was very well equipped for cooking. The beds were comfortable and the bedrooms spacious. The best part of the stay was the beautiful views of the frozen lake. We would definitely stay again.
Very clean, comfortable home right on the water. We enjoyed the gas fireplace and well equipped kitchen. Would absolutely stay again.

Amazing sunsets...great gathering spot for friends and family
Total relaxation; loved listening to the waves lapping on the shore. Wish the home had a deck and/or screened in porch...could get a bit buggy. However, not complaining!!

Great Trip no Fish
House was nice, weather was great relaxed and did some fishing. Visited the shelburne museum which was fantastic.
The house is located right on the lake and was a beautiful view to eat breakfast to every morning. Owners were responsive with questions and messages about the property. Highly recommend this stay.

Lovely lake getaway
Adorable house, so comfortable and quiet on Lake Champlain. We spent two idyllic weeks here and would absolutely go again.
Great stay on Lake Champlain! Love that all the windows are screened so you can open them up and enjoy the sounds of the lake. Nice open main living area with great views. Our 2 year old loved pointing at the families of ducks and geese and watching the boats go by when we weren’t out and about. A nice bonus would have been an outdoor seating area, but we were out exploring so much we didn’t miss it too much. Overall a great stay!

Location, location!
Spectacular location on Lake Champlain. The house is a terrific place for connecting with family. The open concept living area is perfect for hanging out in the expansive kitchen and living room. Great stay!!

Great spot!
The house was wonderful! Everything was just beautiful and the home is centrally located to explore quite a bit of Vermont. The area is serene and peaceful. You couldn't ask for a quieter spot. The lake view is incredible. I would definitely stay here again if we ever get back to Vermont!
