My husband and I chose to stay at this college based on all of the positive reviews which were extremely accurate to the cleanliness and coziness of this cottage. The bed was very comfortable and I loved The water pressure and temperature in the shower. The cottage provided everything you needed for the week. The hosts were great.It was well situated between larger attractions such as Burlington Vermont and Montreal Canada.

Beautiful cottage, amazing view, friendly folks!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Tom and Kathy's cottage, it was so relaxing being right on the lake and watching the sunset from the deck every night! My husband loved being able to fish right off the dock and I was thrilled to be able to swim every day we were there! Tom and Kathy made us feel right at home and made sure we had everything we needed, we will DEFINITELY be back!! Thank you for a great week!!

Great stay at Lake Champlain

We really enjoyed our stay at the Cottage. It was very comfortable, clean and well stocked. Eating on the deck looking out at the water was fabulous along with views of the sunset from the dock. If we had any questions or needed something Tom was on it immediately. We would love to return to the Lake Champlain area again and would stay at this cottage. Thanks Tom, you were the perfect host!

Peacefull

We really enjoyed our stay at Tom and Kathy’s cottage. The cottage was very clean and had all the amenities for a summer holiday. The king size bed was very comfortable. The location allowed for many different explorations of the islands on Lake Champlain .Its greatest asset was an extended peer with two chairs , allowing us to sit over the water and enjoy the incredible beauty and calm of sunsets.Tom and Kathy were excellent hosts. Thank you for a wonderful stay. Richard and Lizanne

Great vacation spot!

A nicely appointed, casual cottage with all the amenities of home! Complete with two kayaks! Great location too (short drives to Montreal, Burlington, the Hero Islands, Stowe, etc. for nice daytrips. Lakefront location and some great biking was literally seconds from our driveway. Our hosts, Kathy and Tom, were helpful (when needed for things like restaurant recommendations), responsive (with one minor cottage issue) and gracious (letting us have our space and quiet.) Would we rent this lovely cottage from Kathy and Tom again? Yes!!

Pleasant & Clean Lakeside Cabin

Extremely clean lakeside cabin. Well equipped kitchen and very thoughtful owner/ manager. Lovely welcome bag including VT maple syrup upon arrival. Breathtaking sunset views from the deck. While the listed description was accurate, it does not mention that aside from the owner’s house next door, there are several other cabins nearby. One of the other cabins, is less than 5 feet away, and for 2 of the days during our rental was occupied with the owner of that cabin pitching a tent essentially outside our bathroom / kitchen windows. Noise was not an issue, but!

Wonderful stay!

My husband and I spent a wonderful week at the Sunset cottage. Kathy and Tom were the perfect hosts and made sure that all that we could want or need was available to us. Special touches, from a basket with coffee and maple syrup waiting for us when we arrived to an immaculately kept home with hotel quality towels and bedding did not go unnoticed. The cottage was well equipped for cooking, both inside and out, on the spotless grill. I spent mornings having my coffee on their lovely deck, while my husband enjoyed fishing off the dock. We also made use of the kayaks while we explored Lake Champlain. The location was perfect, allowing us the opportunity to drive to Burlington, as well as Quebec City and Montreal. This was the 6th property we have rented on the Lake and ,by far, our favorite. We home to return some day soon!

Cozy stay

We had a boat with us to fish. We were unable to dock at this facility. The dock was not built to do so. There was a mooring but wading out in cold water up to your chest wasn’t feasible. Plus access to the dock was very steep. My 84 year old wife had trouble going down to the dock and returning. That said, the owners invited us to sit on their deck to enjoy what few sunsets there were due to cloudy and rainy weather. There are a couple wineries and brew pubs in the area. We were fortunate to to see the Jazzfest in Burlington. All in all, pleasant stay with great hosts.

A Wonderful Stay by Lake Champlain

Hosts Tom and Kathy made our stay in late June exceptionally pleasant. It was like arriving at a second home with all the hospitality and comfort. Our hosts had thought of everything. They provided every kitchen utensil imaginable, well-organized, and easy to find. The rooms were clean and cozy. The small cabin, next door to the hosts' home, felt very private. We had easy access to the lake where we had several wonderful swims, some with amazing sunsets. Just a reminder that this northern locale has hungry mosquitoes, which is why the comfortable cabin was such a great retreat. We slept very well in the king-sized bed. This location is just a few miles south of the Canadian border and a short drive from the New York state line. There is plenty to explore nearby - such as the Champlain Islands, and an easy scenic drive to Burlington. We extend our heartfelt thanks to Tom and Kathy who exemplify the best in hospitality.

Wonderful stay

My wife and I stayed at The Beautiful Lakefront Chalet for a week in June 2023. We were positively surprised, since the cottage seems a little bigger than the photos suggest. Well situated, near the bakery. The kitchen is really fully equiped, you have everything you need and more... The BBQ is a good Weber, works very well (better than mine at home). Cyclists: Alburgh gives you access to many rural roads very fun to ride. Isle Lamotte is nearby, North Hero is a beautiful scenic ride. From South Hero, which is about a 30/40 minutes drive, you have access to the cycle paths that bring you to Burlington. Very nice place to spend a day. At the Chalet, Tom and Kathy have two new Kayaks at your disposable. They are stable ans easy to maneuver. In June the water temperature allows you to swim as long as you want. Kathy and Tom are very helpful, should you require information or any help. We enjoyed chatting with them a few time. Conclusion: This is a very recommandable place to stay. From the patio in front of the cottage you have a nice view of the lake to enjoy. Just sit back and relax... PS: For Canadians, the Cottage is about three miles from the border! Marie and Simon

June getaway

We stayed at Tom and Kathy's cottage for a week in early June and thoroughly enjoyed it. The cottage feels quite spacious and is absolutely immaculate and very well-stocked with kitchen items (even including spices and condiments!) and toiletries. I was a little concerned about it being so close to a busy road, but it was amazingly quiet, especially on the lake-facing side. The bed was comfortable and cosy and the water pressure was excellent. Tom and Kathy were unobtrusive but available the couple of times we had questions--really the perfect hosts. Alburgh is definitely the most working-class of the Champlain Islands towns, and the opportunities for walking/hiking and kayaking in the immediate neighborhood are more limited than elsewhere in the islands. But there's plenty to do within a very short driving distance, and we really enjoyed the trails at Mississquoi National Wildlife Refuge and the Knights Point and Alburgh Dunes state parks. Just driving around getting to know the area was also really fun. We had day trips to Burlington, St Albans (wonderful downtown), and Plattsburgh, NY and loved the combination of lake views and open farmland in all directions. We also found that people were just incredibly friendly everywhere we went! Maybe it helped that the tourist season was just getting underway ;-). But we definitely sensed a real community vibe and had lots of interesting conversations with all kinds of people.

Why they chose this property

When we purchased, there was another smaller cottage on the property, but it needed a lot of work. We replaced it in 2012 with the new expanded cottage.
it has only been available for use by family and friends until recently.
