About this property

Private Secluded Waterfront Cottage - Getaway from It All!

For anyone who camped as a youngster, you'll appreciate the specialness of this property. A camp with all the amenities, extremely private, with breathtaking sunsets, no two ever alike. A fisherman's delight with direct access to the lake and your own mooring. LCI Derby anyone? Crystal clear waters for swimming and plenty of beach for combing. Definitely something for everyone, and you don't have to cross a road to get there!

Wildlife abounds! We have resident herons, osprey, and even a bald eagle has landed on our railing! It is not uncommon to see a family of deer in the field or hear an owl at night. But that's all you'll hear. This is an extremely secluded piece of property, yet you are just a half mile from the main road.

There are plenty of destinations for day trips, Montreal is 1 hour north, Burlington VT is 1 hour south, the Alburgh Dunes State Park is an easy walk 1 mile away. It's a perfect area for biking and exploring. The Lake Champlain Islands are home to many festivals, attractions, and summer concerts.

Bring nothing but your clothes and food, this cottage comes fully equipped with dishes, linens and towels as well as two kayaks, a canoe, gas grill, fire pit, and large lawn for fun and games. Two bedrooms, one with a double bed, the other with a bunk bed. But everyone's favorite are the twin beds on the porch. Or pitch a tent in the yard -- a child's delight.
Rentals are for one week blocks, Saturday to Saturday.

Family of three and pets

Owners live next door to the property. They were welcoming. The views are breath-taking. We enjoyed several of the 4th of July fireworks from the water's edge. The drive to the closest supermarket was 30 mins. Recommend a visit to the nearby towns and farmers market (approx 30 mins drive). We enjoyed fishing, swimming, kayaking, and canoeing. The small fans were inadequate in cooling the rooms and the bedroom with the bunk beds has a window that doesn't open. First day, I had to clean the yard and pick up after previous dogs walked in the area. The owner apologized and she was understanding. It would be a place we would return to if an air conditioner were added; otherwise, the heat is overwhelming at night.

cozy and relaxing

All of the previous positive reviews are accurate. This cabin was clean, comfortable, and beautifully located. Melanie and Vinny were so kind and helpful. After a day of hiking, I was so glad to come back to this cabin. Hannah, my dog, loved the big yard and swimming. Highly recommend this place!

About the host

Hosted by Vincent Lizotte

Vinny Lizotte and Melanie Atwood have owned this property for close to 20 years. We both enjoy photography and have our cameras ready when ever we're outside at the lake. Wild life and sunsets , you never know what you'll see! We enjoy meeting our guests and sharing our our little piece of heaven on earth with them.

Why they chose this property

When this property came up for sale, we went over to talk to the owner and said we'll buy it, without even asking for the price! We already had owned the property adjacent to the cottage and wanted to insure that the area stays quiet and secluded. We've done many improvements and updates to the property to make it as comfortable as possible and still retain the "camping on the lake" experience.

What makes this property unique

We love the privacy of our property. Located on a dead end road with only one property beyond us and vacant wooded lots before us, we feel very fortunate. The beds on the porch are the most popular claims for those who have stayed with us before. The young ones love the bunk beds, who gets the top? With every spring we look forward to spending time at this very special place.
