Come explore the wonders of the Champlain Valley! Situated on the shores of Lake Champlain directly across from historic Crab Island, of the Battle of Plattsburgh fame, your vacation getaway is planted in the perfect place to explore the region. You can't beat the spectacular views of Vermont and the Green Mountains! If fishing is your thing, you've found paradise! The property has a private beach and dock, perfect for fishing and water play. The dock is unable to handle a watercraft for overnight docking due to wind and large waves. Please note that dock installation occurs in late spring and is dependent on water level. Dock removal usually occurs in early September at the discretion of the dock service provider. Public boat access is just down the road at the Peru, NY boat launch. Short term dock rental may also be available at nearby Snug Harbor. A variety of kayaks, boats and bikes are available for rental just miles away. The home is equipped with 3 kayaks and lifejackets for your use.
