About this property
Tree Tops Cottages. Up to 4 lakeside cottages available
Experience Tree Tops Cottages. You are renting more than just a cottage with beds.
We are more like a resort, and we offer many extras included in your rent:
-Free use of kayaks, paddle boards, rowboats and even a pedal boat for calm days!
-70' long dock for swimming and fishing.
-Gas and charcoal grills.
-Free laundry room.
-Free wifi on the property for checking email. (We cannot always promise enough bandwidth for streaming.)
-Plenty of seating/lounging at the beach.
Please inquire about which of our 4 cottages are open. We will let you know if it will be appropriate for your family or group. Note that we rent Saturday-Saturday.
Please read our full description below:
The Tree Tops Cottages is a small family friendly resort located on the Southern end of South Hero on a private 7+ acre property with over 920 feet of direct frontage on Lake Champlain. Originally built in the 1920's, there are only 4 privately sited cottages on the whole 7.5 acre property. Multiple generational families have been coming to Tree Tops Cottages for decades. It may be possible to rent 2, 3 or 4 cottages at the same time for a family reunion. Each unique cottage is restored in the rustic Vermont Camp style, and offers great lake views. This is not a luxury resort, rather a down home, friendly, relaxing place only 20 minutes to Burlington.
The gradual shale beach is weed free and is rare (for Lake Champlain) due to the fact that it is south facing, which affords all day sunshine and protection from cool northerly breezes. The 'Outer Malletts Bay' lake location offers warmer and calmer water than the 'Broad Lake'.
We will allow 1 pet per cottage with a surcharge.
