The property is very nice, and decorated in a nautical theme. The layout is a bit odd, since one of the main bedrooms sits in the middle of the house, so it’s a pass through area. There are separate outside doors though. We had a few minor issues, but the property manager handled them promptly. The view is beautiful, and the house is not damp because it’s not right on the lake. The house is a bit dated,and could use a coat of paint. Overall we had a great stay.

The view of the mountains and Lake Chaplain was stunning. Our family settled in comfortably for a week's stay. We enjoyed the large table in the dining area, which was the center point for family gatherings. Plenty of space on the back deck for the children to play. Beautiful bathrooms and plenty of towels. We also took advantage of the beach passes provided. The host did his best to address a few issues that included a broken dishwasher, an exterior door that did not close and an un-mowed lawn. All were addressed by the time we left.

Our family, including children and adults, had trouble finding a property on short notice for our desired summer get together on the Champlain Islands. This place seemed like a good deal but when we arrived we discovered it had many quirks. If you only need basic amenities and don't mind oddities, it might work for you. The washer/dryer and beach gear were useful, and the view was lovely. The kitchens were well appointed. However, the property was not a "resort with hotel quality amenities" as described. Overflowing trash and a broken screen door greeted us. The layout was strange—the largest bedroom was located between two living areas so privacy was problematic. The BBQ didn't work, and despite contacting the owner, no repairs were made during our 5-day stay. The main dishwasher was also in disrepair when we arrived and was not repaired while there. The broken back door's glass was held by duck tape, deck parts were rotting, and a railing loose. The kitchen sink's hot water came out of the cold tap. Beds were not supportive. The owner did offer us a free meal at a local restaurant as recompense for the appliances disrepair but we declined because we had already purchased ample food for our intended bbq (which we had very much looked forward to as central to the joys of our stay.) No contact info was provided for concierge, private chef, or massage as mentioned in guide. In summary the property is well priced for a large family but it was not as advertised.

We are an extended family - 4 generations-who travel together yearly for the sole purpose of all being in one place for a full week. This was a perfect location for this year’s trip. Overall, we loved the house; however, there were a few minor problems that need to be addressed. Our impression was that the owner is not onsite often so minor repairs go unnoticed unless reported. When contacted, the owner responded immediately and did everything he could to make sure we were comfortable and safe. As a family who cooks every meal in the home, we loved the fully stocked kitchen. The washer/dryer was also a welcome addition! A perfect place for our family to enjoy some much anticipated time together, I would highly recommend this property.

The view was amazing and the amenities plentiful for the 9 days we were there. The house is located near restaurants, a brewery and a cool place called “the rest stop” that’s literally down the road. Burlington is a short 30 minute drive as is Hannaford’s (full grocery store). We were there when it was unusually hot but the 3 AC units kept the house nice and cool!! We had a great time and will definitely be back!!

Lots of space. Very well stocked and lots of towels. Very clean

We had the opportunity to visit Vermont “off season”/late Fall and had a first-rate experience. This property offered a great location, great views and a great value. Accommodations were spacious yet cozy for our family. We were close to Burlington and accomplished our apartment hunting objective, and also close enough for sightseeing in Montpelier and a day trip to beautiful Montreal (bring your passports!). Ilmar was a generous and flexible host, graciously allowing us to extend our stay beyond the original booking dates and reminding us to take advantage of the Blue Paddle Bistro gift card (delicious!) and ECHO museum pass (next time!). Highly recommend this unique island property!
