Lake Champlain Waterfront: Amazing Sunsets, Private Beach, and Firepit

This cottage is located in the bluffs area of Hog Island, Vermont and boasts absolutely phenomenal sunsets. It is designed for a relaxing, single family vacation in a nature rich environment. The cottage was recently renovated with new flooring, walls, toilet, vanity, furniture, and fresh exterior paint.

The cottage has one bedroom with a queen bed and an additional sleep area in the divided living room with twin bunk beds. All linens are included.

There is one full bathroom stocked with beach and bath towels, shampoo and conditioner, and hand soap.

Linens/towels/toiletries/plates/glasses/coffee cups/Keurig/coffee/grill/ propane all included. The cottage has a kitchen with a full-sized refrigerator/freezer/stove/microwave.

There is a dining room with a table for rainy day dining indoors (seats up to 6) and a table with an umbrella on the walk-out patio for outdoor grilling and dining (grill on the patio).

There are two window air conditioners that cool the entire cottage along with propane heat for cool nights and a fire-pit on the beach. There is also a lot of space on the front lawn for games and activities.

The cottage has internet/WiFi, games and books.

Down the stairs from the cottage is a private swimming/sunning beach. Amenities include: two kayaks, pool floats, sun chairs, beach umbrellas, and 2 adult/3 children's life jackets.

It's a great, private place to take a swim or launch on a kayak site seeing cruise along the beautiful shoreline. There is no dock (predominantly west winds) but the front yard offers plenty of space to park a boat and trailer.

There are two public boat launches nearby (West Swanton Boat Access .2 miles and Tabor Point Boat Ramp 4.2 miles).

In addition, we are just steps from Hog Island Market where fishing equipment, bait, fishing license, ice, beer, wine, and groceries are all available.

Campbell's Bay Campground (6mi) is also close by for Pontoon, Motor Boat, or Canoe rentals.

West Swanton Orchard (.9mi) is a great stop for apples, soft ice cream and souvenirs.

Green Mountain Stables is directly across the road where visitors can watch the horses training or take riding lessons, and Missisquoi National Wildlife Refuge Visitor Center is also just one mile away.

The cottage is centrally located within the best Pike, Bass and Walleye fishing grounds on the lake!

For those who want a bit more adventure, the Canadian boarder is just 4 miles north. There is a nice small, waterfront town with several great restaurants called Venice en Quebec just across the border. Montreal is also only one hour north so bring your passports.

Great lakefront cottage in Swanton
We had a wonderful time enjoying the lake and Quebec at this cottage- swimming, grilling, sunsets and games on the front lawn. Cottage was updated and clean, with good wifi and properly equipped for a long stay. We hope to stay here again and highly recommend!

Cottage much bigger than I expected
We were 2 adults & we had lots of space inside and out. Unfortunately the lake was very high so we could not enjoy the beach. We made lots of use of the fire pit at night. There as a nice patio table and chairs with a view of the lake where we enjoyed our meals. Would recommend it to anyone!

Windy!
We had a great time. There was a problem with the outdoor grill, but Josie took care of it immediately by getting a new one as a replacement.

Third time is a charm
Third time staying here and first time bringing our dog. As usual, we enjoyed time on the lake, kayaking & swimming and watching the dog live his best life! Due to recent flooding in the area the lake was abnormally high and covered the beach area but the lake was clean and it didn’t affect our level of enjoyment. Thank you Josie!

July on the Lake
We were very pleased with the property especially all the amenities provided in quantity (soaps, shampoos, coffee, many kitchen items, bedding, towels, and water). There were games and books to pass the time on rainy days. West facing, beautiful sunsets. Fire ring on the beach and next to camp. Kayaks, lifejackets all provided. Final bonus was very pet friendly. Two boat launches nearby and store within walking distance.

Definitely recommended, stay here
Our host was great. We had minimal contact purely from having everything we needed. Bring water shoes, the "beach" behind the property is mostly shale rock, and can be sharp in spots. Also bring lots of bug repellant and any other bug solutions you want. There were a LOT of nats,may flies, moths, some mosquito's but not a ton. This has more to do with the area than the property itself though.

Beautiful lake stay
We had a great time at the lake and with the kayaks. Sunsets are amazing. Josie is great and has everything together. Missiquoi nature preserve trails are very special. We enjoyed biking the beautiful Missiquoi valley rail trail that runs from St Albans to Richfield VT along the river and farmland

Beautiful sunsets
The cottage is exceptionally clean and well stocked. It was so nice to only need to bring clothes and food. Josie is gracious and kind. The back patio has a gorgeous view of beautiful sunsets. I can't wait to go back!
