Beautiful, Rustic Spot

My partner and I really enjoyed our short stay here. The cottage was a little more rustic than we expected, but the gas wood stove and the new oven (the latter updated from in the listing photos) were great additions. The cottage is just a staircase away from the lake where we could sit and watch the sun set. We would definitely stay here again.

Cozy cottage in a great location

This immaculately maintained cozy little cottage is situated right at the edge of the shore of Lake Champlain. The sunsets were breathtaking and the area so peaceful and relaxing. Perfect spot from which to explore all the islands have to offer, while also easy to reach Burlington.

Amazing views

Quaint little cottage with amazing views. Very relaxing and peaceful. From morning coffee on the porch, the cozy hammock and watching sunsets on your own private beach. If you do venture out, drop by a farmer's market, take in a concert at the Snowfarm Vineyard or grab the 15 min Ferry to New York and visit Ausable Chasm. We definitely will be back. Thanks Dave!

Lakefront Cottage

We’ve stayed at this cottage four times now - great location - Dave is a good host and communicates well. Peaceful spot and can’t beat the view. It’s also easy to get to Burlington or across to New York depending on what you’re looking to do.

Wonderful, quiet, well equipped. The house was clean and comfortable - the owner wonderful to work with. The views of the lake are spectacular!! The owner should post pictures of the lake at night with the moon reflecting off the water - beautiful! We hope to return again and would definitely recommend to our friends.

Loved the cabin and the view!

Great view, loved the screened-in porch, hammock, rocky beach, outdoor fires, walks along the road, local produce at a neighborhood farm. Overall a great experience. Only downside was the neighbors on either side were noisy, but still we would return. Thank you!

This property is in a great location with a perfect lake view. We were looking to stay at a small cozy place and the screened in porch looking out to the lake was a definite plus. This property was immaculately clean. The neighborhood was quiet. We were looking for rest and relaxation and found it here. Great stay.

So calming and beautiful

Such a nice property! The view is STUNNING and the sunsets every night are unbeatable. I love that the cottage is older and rustic. Something about it just calms you down and makes all your worries wash away. You are a short drive to 2 grocery stores, things to do, a couple restaurants, and plenty of baked goods! Yum! The only thing we agreed was not the best was the beds. They were pretty uncomfortable and there were a couple nights we didn't sleep well. But otherwise we were calm and happy the entire trip. We even got engaged here!!

Wonderful relaxing stay!

This was my second time at this cottage, and I loved it again. So did my girlfriends for whom it was a first visit. We loved eating and chatting on the screen porch, hanging out in the hammock, dinner on either porch or at table outside. The views are hard to beat, and the neighborhood is peaceful. I had some wonderful swims in the lake, and enjoyed the walking and biking in the area too. We will be back! Thanks again for sharing this wonderful part of Vermont!

We stayed for two days/ nights during the June heatwave. Didn’t need heat but would be a great place to snuggle and read, watch movies. Being right on the lake with the sunsets was wonderful!

A little slice of heaven

A perfect lake front vacation spot indeed. That view though. You will have to come and see for yourself. We had mostly cloudy weather but it just didn’t matter. The cottage was peaceful and cozy. The owner Dave was available, not that he was needed, we had everything for a perfect stay.The neighbors where, friendly. Felt like home away from home. Dave we will be back.

West Shore Road Cottage

Comfortable A/C in bedroom. Lots of fans with nice screened porch. Convenient to South Hero Wally's and Seas. And to Burlington for Dining in the evening, baseball, and Movies in Essex. Nice shower always a plus. Insufficient directions for using TV, could have called, not a big deal so didn't call. Had some evenings sitting and watching the sunset. We enjoyed out time there.

Beautiful view on Lake Champlain

Enjoyed the views from the porch of this rustic cabin on the lake. Ok house for 2 adults and children (max 4 persons). One bed is comfortable, the other is not. Unable to determine the temperature of the oven bc the dial is not attached to the stove making it difficult to use. BBQ grill is nice so plan on all cooking outside. Solo stove in the yard for outdoor fire which was wonderful. Host responds quickly to all communication.

About the host

Hosted by Owner Dave Hansen

My wife Anne and I have lived in Grand Isle, Vermont for Twenty five years. Now we are raising our three year old son MAX here. Anne takes the ferry to work across the lake in Plattsburgh, NY. When I am not looking after MAX, I work as a Cabinet Maker out of our home here in Grand Isle. We both love to sail and spend a lot of our free time racing sailboats.

Why they chose this property

We found this property twelve years ago. it is just down the street from where we first lived in Grand Isle. We had been looking for a property to invest in for years. when this one became available we jumped on it. We are so glad we did. It is a special place and I hope you will enjoy it.

What makes this property unique

There are a few things that makes our cottage so wonderful. First, It sits only 30 feet from the lake so you feel like you are right there. There is a screened in porch where you can spend long evenings drinking wine and talking about your day or relaxing with a book. One of my favorite things to do is to sit on the lawn in an Adirondack Chair on a nice summer afternoon and watch the sailboats go by. The cottage is a quiet place. It sits 300 feet from a road that is not busy in the first place. If you want to venture out for the day or evening there are great choices. First, there are some great restaurants locally. Burlington is only 30 minutes away and if you have never been to Burlington you need to go. Burlington is a wonderful small city with fantastic restaurants, shops, music, and more. Montreal is a 90 minute drive north. just don't forget your passport.
Grand Isle is a wonderful place to bike, paddle, fish, swim, or just hang out and relax with your favorite drink. I hope you come and enjoy our cottage.
