Amazing location right on the lake
The location of the place is top notch, right across from beautiful Lake Champlain. The cottage had a beautiful open floor plan between the newly renovated living room and kitchen. One bedroom was renovated with distressed hardwood floors, however it contained a bed with the comfort level of one of Jigsaw's Saw traps. The other bedroom was not renovated but had an attractive jute rug to cover the old linoleum floor, which pulled it together nicely. This bed in this room also wasn't too comfortable. The owner said this will be renovated, so that should not be an issue going forward. However beware, neither bed is big enough to accommodate two full sized humans. As far as the bathrooms, the showers emitted a rancid sulfur smell. I thought perhaps it was septic due to the high rain fall the previous week. The owner responded to my husband's text immediately and came out to change all the water filters and explained that smell was due to the hard water and was not harmful. Although the filters and cartridges were changed, the smell never completely went away. My son & I took our showers in The Champlain. Now, the mystery of the toilets. One day in, my husband noticed what looked like seaweed coming down the insides of the bowl. I lifted the tank and to my shock, I saw what appeared to be either the remains of some ancient cephalopod or creature from old folklore (Champ?). It also emitted an odd smell. Otherwise it was a very nice place!
