We opened this farmhouse as a place for families to slow down, reconnect, and make memories the way they used to—long meals, shared stories, and mornings with nowhere to rush to. If that’s the kind of trip you’re craving, we’d love to host you.

This lovingly restored lakefront farmhouse blends classic Vermont charm with modern comfort, offering the perfect four-season escape for families and friends. With room for up to 12 guests, the house sits on a quiet peninsula just outside Saint Albans — a postcard-perfect town on the shores of Lake Champlain.

The home features a spacious wraparound porch that’s made for slow mornings and golden evenings. Sip your coffee as the sun rises over the lake, surrounded by birdsong and the scent of fresh lake air. An outdoor table invites you to enjoy your meals al fresco, and Adirondack chairs in cozy spots around the porch invite you to unwind with a book, a conversation, or simply the view.

Outside, we offer a grill for casual cookouts, and a lakeside firepit awaits — perfect for roasting s’mores with the kids or enjoying a glass of wine under the stars.

Inside, you’ll find multiple gathering spaces — a large farmhouse kitchen, welcoming living and dining areas, and thoughtfully appointed bedrooms that offer both comfort and privacy. It’s the kind of home where you can cook a big breakfast, linger over a puzzle, or share stories at the table after a day outdoors.

We’re thoughtful, responsive hosts who care deeply about making guests feel comfortable and at home. We’re always happy to help with planning, recommendations, or questions before and during your stay, and we do our best to be available whenever needed.

Whether you’re here to explore or to recharge, the experience is yours to shape. Paddle the bay in one of the provided kayaks, bike or hike nearby trails, or head to a sandy beach just five minutes away. In fall, you're front and center for Vermont’s stunning foliage. In winter, some of the state’s best ski mountains are just under an hour away. And if you simply want to relax? This house is ready to welcome you with stillness, beauty, and a front-row seat to the natural rhythms of the lake.
