House was better than expected and very clean. Hosts provided many activities inside and out and made the effort to make sure the house was well stocked with all the necessities. Will be our place to stay when we visit our son and daughter in law

Glad the stay at the lakehouse was good. Our cleaning service is excellent and this is why we have had a 7 yr relationship. A pool table inside is a good thing especially in early April when there is still ice on St Albans Bay.

The property was just as described and the quiet stay is exactly what we desired. Not much better than watching the sunset over St. Albans bay and the Lake Champlain area. The lake house location is well located for our exploration of northern Vermont. Would definitely consider returning in the future.

We had a wonderful stay on Lake Champlain in St. Albans! Very peaceful and quiet location. The weather cooperated some so we were able to enjoy relaxing on the deck watching the spectacular sunset and well as the morning moon set. We also enjoyed many games of pool. The table is very good condition. A fantastic getaway!

Perfect!

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed The Lakehouse. It was clean, comfortable, and well-equipped. It rained the first couple of days, and we still enjoyed watching the lake. Then the sun came out, and we saw why everyone mentions the beautiful view. The lake sparkled and a family of ducks swam by to greet us. We would definitely stay at The Lakehouse again.

About the host

Host profile image
Gene and Marilyn Sink are retired VT school teachers who now live on Cape Cod.

Why they chose this property

We built this place after tearing down a camp built in the 1930's that was beyond saving. Having spent the last 25 yrs on the lake we want to share this special spot with others who appreciate the lake and the mountains. The living room and deck have unforgettable sunsets and lake views. It is private and quiet while near the small city of St Albans, VT. Burlington is 30 minutes away and major ski areas are less than an hour from this location.

What makes this property unique

This property has spectacular views and direct lake access.
