About this property
Lakeside Retreat in Adirondack Valley! Summer on the lake; Winter on the slopes!
Oyster Haven is a renovated circa 1830 farmhouse that combines vintage charm with all the modern conveniences, including a state-of-the-art gourmet kitchen with two ovens and an enormous central island perfect for large family gatherings.
Located on the shore of Lake Champlain, this immaculate and comfortable vacation home boasts an acre and a half of property that includes a deck, a large patio with a fire pit, and a grassy yard that stretches out to where stairs lead down to a private beach. With 250 feet of lake frontage, a dock, two kayaks, a canoe, a stand-up paddle board, and a mooring for those who wish to bring or rent a motorboat or sailboat, guests can find a whole host of outdoor activities without ever leaving the back yard.
Located very close to the Adirondack Mountains, enjoy hiking in the summer and outstanding skiing on Whiteface Mountain in the winter. The Fall also provides for breathtaking leaf turning color!
So much history in the area, with museums featuring the Revolutionary War and War of 1812. The portion of the lake off our back yard was the site of the Battle of Valcour of the Revolutionary War! Attractions nearby include Ausable Chasm with rafting (even white water), tours, and even rock climbing. The area has a winery tour and a current explosion of craft breweries to visit. We have a connection with The Valcour Brewing Company located in The Old Stone Barracks on the old Plattsburgh Air Force Base.
For those planning a wedding in the area, we are located right next door to the Valcour Conference Center which hosts year round weddings and receptions. Our home is a short walk to this venue and perfect for housing out of town wedding guests.

About the host
Hosted by Timothy Pearl
We're Tim & Laura Pearl. We grew up in Plattsburgh, NY, were high school sweethearts and have been married for 41 years. We have raised 5 sons and currently have 19 grandchildren.
Tim: I graduated from the University of Notre Dame in 1980, then spent 8 years in the Navy as a Naval Aviator flying A-7's and F/A-18's. I am now retired from a career as a commercial airline pilot for Delta Air Lines for 32 years. I grew up right up the road on Lake Champlain and love the idea of introducing you to this magical area.
Laura: I graduated from The College of the Holy Cross in Worcester, MA in 1980. I spent the majority of our married years raising our 5 sons. When our youngest son started high school, I began a lifelong dream to write a novel. In 2012, I had my first young adult novel, "Finding Grace" published by Bezalel Books. I then wrote another YA novel, "Erin's Ring", which was published in 2014. We now spend most of our time travelling to visit our 5 sons and 7 grandchildren.

Why they chose this property
This area is our hometown. We grew up here and have wonderful memories. We always thought it was the perfect place to grow up; with the lake right here, the mountains close by, a small town feel, with a big city (Montreal) very close as well. We've been living away from here for awhile, but can't keep ourselves away too long. We are thrilled to be able to share our home and this area with you. We know you'll love it as much as we do.
What makes this property unique
Although the house is a lovely, renovated colonial, the thing that made us fall in love with it was the view of the lake, the islands, and the mountains of Vermont in the background. Growing up on the lake makes you a little spoiled. I've always wanted to get back. I could sit and stare for hours at the beautiful scenery right out our back yard.
