This is a perfect lake-side cabin. The setting is lovely: in the midst of trees, hanging over Lake Champlain, surrounded by woodland birds, wonderfully quiet. This cabin has its roots in the 19th century, and the other cabins spread around the farm are not much newer. No worry that you'll be stuck in a suburban ranch near water: this is a true hunting and fishing camp, and you can relax and live here without fuss. You will have a superb host, welcoming and thoughtful, with a wonderful sense of humor. Boats can be used of all sort --kayaks, rowboats, canoes --and life jackets and paddles are provided. A rich estuary sits not far off for paddling, bird watching, and contemplation. Sunsets are spectacular. I loved my time and look forward to going again.

Rustic cabin, was rustic. Internet was out more than it worked and the cable tv did not work. We resorted to a small antenna inside. We asked the owner if we could rent the unit next year and the owner said she would really like that. We contacted her about a week before we left about giving her a deposit and she said she wasn’t sure she was going to rent the unit next year. As an owner of rental units ourself that is definitely not what you do to people. We would still like to rent the unit next year but it doesn’t look promising to us. Jim & Sandy Fisj

Very beautiful location - cabin super rustic - kitchen / bathroom a bit sketchy, iff on cleanliness, very hot the week that we were there and 50% of window unable to open. Access to water via the beach - very funky. loaded with muck, algae, not a swimming beach. one kayak has a whole in it and leaks, this is a good place for the young, outdoors rough and ready types

Why Stay Anyplace NOT on the Lake??
Why Stay Anyplace NOT on the Lake??
With this cabin, you're getting two big things: an incredible view of the lake -- it's practically IN the living room and the screen porch -- and historic atmosphere. You're also getting wonderful hospitality from the host and some great amenities, like both charcoal and gas grills to choose from and a wide selection of boats and even fishing poles to deploy for free (there are lures aplenty, too, but worms and other bait are on you ;-) This is a ~100-year-old fishing cabin. It's furnished very nicely and simply, and it has good WiFi and a decent TV setup, but it's still fairly rustic. There's a certain level of dust you just can't get out of an old cabin like this in the middle of the woods. That being said, the cleaning could be a little more diligent, especially of the windows and sills, and the kitchen could use some modest upgrades, like new linoleum. Other reviewers were appalled by this, but I don't think it's that bad. I'd feel differently for a pricier place -- which many lakeside cabins situated so beautifully are -- but to my mind this is a great value for what it is. One other key caveat: Lake Champlain is spectacular and soul-nourishing, but it can be a bit of a mixed bag, too. Global warming has led to lots of algae, weeds and zebra mussels where you want to swim, so that's something to keep in mind and ask about. Overall, we loved this place and the surrounding countryside and could've spent weeks on end here. Would happily come back (and wish it were closer to our home in NYC)!!

My wife and I stayed in this cabin July 2020. The cabin is over 100 years old. There is some uneven terrain around the cabin, the windows are quirky and work in ways you’ve probably never seen. Above the counters in the kitchen there is a six foot wide by 18 inches high window or shutter I should say that is tethered to a rope which you have to pull fairly hard to open the shutter to view the new stairwell down the decking just above the lake. THANK GOD NO ONE HAS SEEN FIT TO REMOVE THIS FEATURE FROM THIS CABIN!!!! I can envision some old fisherman from before the era of the automobile opening this shutter in the morning to check on the fishing. This cabin has a thousand stories to tell. If you are into these things; the cabin is built, it seems to withstand a cat 5 hurricane for some reason. There are big solid 4.4 timbers everywhere, stacked 2x4’s and solid doors. The view from the living room and the screened deck are fabulous, the sunsets are beautiful. I’ve read earlier reviews of this cabin that refer to old dirty linoleum. This is a 100 year old rustic cabin. If you are looking for a “Pinterest” version of Vermont you should stay at the Von Trapp’s. I have stayed in several cabins of this nature around the country, I’ve given this cabin 4 out of 5 stars as I thought the cabin could have been cleaner, though we always prepare for this and bring supplies; also the A/C unit which is an 80’s era Fridgidaire is in the kitchen?! It was the hottest day of the year. The only other item was a fan that wouldn’t blow out a birthday candle. Cabin renting is like camping – come prepared.

The living room, dining area and bedrooms were very pleasant. Except for some areas needing dusting, and the (formerly) beautiful Jodul wood stove being rusty and needing attending to, the living portion of the cabin had a rustic charm that was expected. The owner was attentive to several requests that we made (like how to run the TV). She was pleasant but somewhat passive. (Gas ran out in the grill as soon as we started it.) The real downer was the kitchen! The flooring was unacceptable for a rental of this type, and had layers of grime around the fixtures representing a health hazard as a place to prepare food. The condition of the flooring in the kitchen should be a top priority for the owner (rather than the sunset viewing platform being build while we were there). It is a charming, historic building on the property and should be maintained accordingly.
