Excellent Stay! House very well appointed, especially the kitchen. Lots of pan choices, great/newer appliances. Handy laundry room w/ storage for off the kitchen. Beds newer and very comfortable. AC units in the right places within the house. While there’s limited space between the house and other homes, we were able to get out 14’ kayaks down to the lower deck, and then down to the shore. The shore is flat shale, no sand. And this part of the lake is very shallow, so while there’s no jumping off the dock, fishing is possible/feasible. Great biking around the area - both paved and gravel. Very quiet part of the lake for good SUP and kayaking. Loved this home. Owner obviously cares for this property and has instilled a lot of creature comforts. Highly recommend!

Outstanding location and beautuful views over Lake Champlain from the large upper deck. Saw 3 juvenile eagles and 2 loons. Such a treat! Well appointed kitchen with coffee pots, air fryer, and new major appliances. Large dining table. Nice gas grill on upper deck worked great. The outside space is magic.Check in and out were easy and owner very accommodating. Large new bathrooms. Bring your own shampoos and soaps. You will love Vermont and this location is centrally located and a joy to come home to.

Overall nice and relaxing. Was very disappointed the dock was not available. It was one of the main reasons I chose your location. The house was beautiful. The master shower curtain kept dropping. The master shower mixer valve didn’t work properly, so it was either too hot or too cold. Not sure what we were doing wrong, but the dishwasher didn’t seem to run a full cycle without starting it a few times. The house’s furniture felt very comfortable.

The location was great. There was plenty to do for myself, teenage kids and my parents. The easy access to the lake with the kayaks and to watch the sunset was amazing.

Property was well equipped, clean and had the most beautiful views! Marty the owner was very available to answer questions about the property and area.

Gravel road leading to property and several other properties so need to drive slowly up the drive which is not very long so no big deal.

Fantastic week at the lake
We had such a great week and loved the house. Stayed with six adults and five kids (ages 4-11). Everyone absolutely loved the house and location. Beautiful views of the lake off the decks and easy access for swimming, kayaking, and paddle boarding. There were two kayaks at the house, and we brought our own paddle board, extra kayaks, and floats/water toys.
Bedrooms were spacious with large, comfortable beds, and there was AC in every room, which helped keep the house cool and dry. Hot water in all the showers that seemed to never run out was an extra bonus.
Highly recommend the house and would definitely go back!

Heavenly Days Along Lake Champlain
We stayed at Marty's wonderful property on Lake Champlain for a few days during our 25-year Middlebury College reunion. It was ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL.
The house is very comfortable and it's easy to feel at home here. Most mornings we headed outside to swim from our own dock, greeting the morning along with the birds and squirrels. The decks have gorgeous views, and are furnished to make it comfortable to spend hours there: chairs, tables, a large awning, etc. We didn't use the kayaks, but it was clear that it would've been very easy to launch them from the dock.
Marty is the perfect host: we had great communication whenever we reached out, and Marty made sure we had all the information we needed, but we were left alone to just enjoy the house and relax.
We would return to Marty's property in a heartbeat... in fact, as we friends scattered to our various corners of the USA following our shared vacation, we've joked about running back up to Vermont as soon as we can. We all miss being there already!
Thanks, Marty, for a truly wonderful stay. Hopefully we'll be back again before long!

A room with a view
Comfortable, high end furnishings and a quiet neighborhood. The home is lake side and we spent many hours out on the back deck. Shaded by an electric awning made afternoons a delight. Everything, from the bedding to the entertainment areas were super comfortable. My dealing with the host family felt like I was talking to my old neighbors. We found the surrounding towns to be places to visit again. Wasn't at all disappointed.

The title of this home is perfect... Newly renovated lake house... It was our most comfortable VRBO rental ever, where the pictures UNDERstate the size and comfort of the living area, dining room (with a gorgeous table for 10!), and bedrooms (super comfortable beds and linens)!

Family Spring Trip
The pictures and videos are on the spot; seeing it in person is BEYOND impressive! We had four adults, three children, and one dog.
The house is immaculate, clean, and dust-free. The renovations make the house one of the top five places we have ever stayed.
All kitchen cooking, serving, and utensils are uniformed. The decks for coffee and views from the bedrooms make the mornings delightful. The sunsets are striking over the distant mountain range and lake.
The kids' multi-bed Room was spacious enough to get away from the adults. The bedding was super comfy in every room.
The checkout is at 9 a.m., which is challenging, but they say you can ask for additional time. They do not ask too much before leaving; you can strip bedding, run the dishwasher, and start a load of towels. There are plenty of paper products, trash bags, and cleaning supplies.
We have a special needs dog, and entry was just a few steps. There is no “yard” for the dog, but a nice walk down to the water, friendly neighbors, and access if they love water. Don’t worry about no yard; the back decks and access to the water will make up for it!!!
Suggestions: Key code for entry (Helpful for multiple guests who arrive at different times or do other things during their stay). Make the Wi-Fi password available on the info sheet, as not everyone knows to look at the router—a few games, cards, and paper/pen for game nights. And I do love a good Guest Journal!!!

Fabulous Lake Champlain Property
Great location with spectacular views of magnificent lake Champlain. Sunsets, Moon sets and everything you could want for an enjoyable get away. Kitchen fully stocked for cooking great meals and the views from the living room are off the charts. Can't wait to return when there is less than a foot of snow on the deck! Still made it out to the Grill and the host could not have been more accomodating. A++
