We are a family of 6 siblings with spouses, and various cousins, nieces, nephews in and out of the house from other nearby houses. The house is large enough to accommodate us all very comfortably and the many bathrooms is almost unheard of for places in the Lake Champlain islands. The house had everything we needed for large family dinners every night after "cocktail hour" out on the deck. The owner, Jeff, has been wonderful over the 9 years we have been staying here, is responsive and communicative. We will miss this place, as I think the owner wants to now enter a new phase of his life where summer rentals are not part of his plan. Thank you Jeff for letting us stay in your wonderful house all these years and good luck in this next chapter of your life.

We needed a place that would accommodate our kids, their spouses and our grandkids. This house was perfect and easily accommodated all 12 of us. It is large with many en-suite bedrooms. The house was well stocked. The gardens around the house are spectacular. The lake was great and kids swam and fished. We used the fire pit and really enjoyed everything about this lovely home. I would love to try to get everyone together and stay here again! I highly recommend this property. The owner was super responsive with any questions.

Everything was just perfect, more than enough room for all of us (6 adults and 9 children) and everything could need! Starting the day with a cozy fire was awesome! Thank you for providing us a great place as we celebrated our sons wedding!

There are so many rooms to hold people of different sizes and needs, and the proximity to the water is hard to beat. It’s a little far from Burlington and the main land, but there’s so much to do in North Hero and the other islands!

We have been coming here for a few years and this place is large enough to accommodate us all, 12 adults and 2 dogs. There is a wonderful deck where we had evening cocktails and hors d'Oeuvres looking out on the lake. The kitchen is well stocked with all amenities. While not as hot this year as in past years we appreciated the air conditioners that were available in the "hottest" rooms and the fans that were spread around. We love this place and Jeff is a great host, easy to contact.

Our family enjoyed every moment of our stay at White Gables. The home is cozy yet accommodating for our family of 14. We shared in cooking our meals, playing board games, puzzling, swimming and floating on the lake, kayaking, paddle boarding and sitting by the campfire.

We had a wonderful time with family- the house was beautiful and perfect for everyone staying. The owner was great and very responsive to any need- which was very few since they provided so much in the house.
Thank you for making this such a great trip for us!! Will definitely be back!!

This was an amazing experience. The house was great and very private. One of the best equipped rentals I have ever stayed in.

The house was spacious, very comfortable, had everything you could think of needed for cooking and entertainment for young and older! Books and games galore.
Although there is a busy road behind and a road in front of the house, the traffic was not bad due to the time of year. Might be busier in the summer making it a bit more challenging for our age grandchildren (1-7 yrs old). The beach was perfect for them with a buffer from the road, shallow waters and lots of rocks to play with. Kyaking fantastic! Overall a really wonderful house and setting!!!

We loved the variety of rooms and the privacy among them. We loved the incredibly well-organized kitchen. We loved the many chairs, indoors and out. We loved the garden and the fire pit. The sunrises over the lake are well worth getting up for, whether you peer through the window or sit out on the dock. We were a big group of old friends spending a long weekend together, and we couldn't have wished for a better place to do it. Jeff is also a terrific host, by the way.

Beautiful Property
The house and property are well cared for and clean - the photos do not really convey the size and many different spaces in the house. Our extended family of 10 adults and one five-year-old were well able to spread out. The outdoor areas are beautiful too. We enjoyed the fire pit area and the beautiful views of the lake. If you can get up early enough, sunrise on the lake is well worth getting up for.

So much fun….
Incredible place for family reunion! Lake is across the street with beautiful views of mountains. The front garden is also very beautiful. The inside is more spacious than the pictures show. There is a lot of room for 14 people! We definitely would come back.

Magical place
The photos do not do this property justice. It is a beautiful home on a picture perfect property. The gardens were in bloom and simply stunning. The home is so well appointed-above and beyond all expectations. And to top it off, the lake access and beach are steps away. What a great time we had.

Absolutely perfect for all ages!
This place is an absolute gem! There were so many wonderful things to do for both adults and children. It has by far the best game closet I have ever seen and every thing you need for entertaining and hosting a large group. We will definitely be back!

Perfect for us
We have been coming to this property for a few years and we love it. We are 6 adult siblings/spouses and 2 dogs and this house accommodates us all very comfortably. The kitchen has everything you could need. There were many updates this year, including additional seating in the dining area, improved furniture in the living room, and a fire pit! The waterfront has a lovely dock for sitting and the water was very clear this year at this time. We have stayed here in July also and the only thing I would say about that time, especially with climate change upon us, is that it can be quite hot for sleeping. There are lots of fans available and sometimes a good breeze, but AC would be a wonderful addition, to the bedrooms anyway.

Perfect for large family gathering
This was our third time vacationing here. We all love everything about it - the proximity and access to Lake Champlain; the house that comfortably accommodates us all (and our dogs); a well stocked kitchen. We can’t wait to return next year.

Great house for a family; lots of quiet spaces plus open areas.
Our annual family reunion was held here. The kids played tag in the yard, we "elders" watched them, the beach is shale so wear water shoes, s'mores at night. I couldn't ask for more.

Wonderful White Gables
Our family vacation at White Gables exceeded our expectations! The home provided everything we needed and more. We are a family of 14 (9 adults, 4 teenagers and 1 preschooler) and had plenty of space. The kitchen came equipped with everything needed for our family meals, the living space allowed for family game night, puzzling and relaxing conversations. The lake was incredible. We kayaked, swam and fished. The breathtaking gardens and yard were awesome. We played lawn games and enjoyed campfires in the evening. We all said there was nothing else we wanted or needed. The location of White Gables was another bonus. Burlington was a 40 minute car ride and the sweet stores in North Hero were perfect. Our time together provided dear memories we will cherish forever.
Everyone wants to plan our next vacation at White Gables!

Wonderful family trip.
Jeff was fantastic and we had a wonderful week on the lake. House fully stocked with towels, bedding, kitchen items, games. Lots of rain our week, but the house was big enough for us all. Fantastic to have the dogs with us, made it extra special.

Interesting House
Would definitely rent the house again. Its a great location if you are fishing the North End of Lake Champlain. Felt a little tight in the kitchen and dinning area with 10 guys in the house, but has plenty of space every where else.

A Perfect Fall Spot
This house has more than enough room to accommodate any random collection of adults and children. The kitchen really does have everything you could need, the bedrooms were clean and comfortable. Having the lake across the street added to the experience.

Labor day weekend 2020
We had an incredible weekend in North Hero thanks to Jeff. The house is VERY clean and fully stocked with board games, beach chairs, kayak, pedal boat, grill, fire pit and all the kitchenware you may need. Beautiful location with lots of yard space and a private dock. Most bedrooms have their own private bathroom which was incredibly helpful. We definitely look forward to coming back!

Great place to stay and bike the islands
Our bike group ( 6 couples ) have been biking together for about 35 years and thought the combination of accommodations and bike routes was perfect for our group. Expected to find seating for twelve at two tables. Only seating for eight at one table.

Great family gathering spot!
Large lake front home! Well stocked modern kitchen. Perfect for the family gathering with lots of bed rooms and bathrooms. Places for everyone to relax. Games and puzzles 🧩 to keep everyone busy. The lake views are amazing and the water was warm and great for swimming! Beach is rocky so water shoes came in handy. Great birthday weekend celebration! Having our dogs with us made it even better!

Large waterfront property
My 5 siblings and I continue to return to this wonderful property every summer. It accommodates six adult couples quite well and there are enough bathrooms for all! The kitchen is well stocked with just about every item you could need, even a slow cooker which we used this time! The large yard is great for sitting out on warm evenings, underneath the beautiful old trees and for playing outside games. It was really hot when we were there and there are fans in every room for cooling down, although AC would've been nice. We never use the 3rd floor which sleeps another 5-6 and would be perfect for children/cousins to sleep in.
Water access is across the road and the beach is rocky as is most of Lake Champlain. Nice sitting dock.
All in all we love it here and will continue to return as long as we can.

Happy Independence Day!
Our extended family of 11 - ages 14-84 - had a great week long stay in North Hero over the 4th of July week.
This house provided ample accommodations for everyone and was a great base of operations for swimming, boating, golf, visits to Burlington and Montreal, and local historic and scenic sites.
The nearest grocery store is in Swanton, 18 miles away, but there are several convenience stores within just a few miles.
Be sure to visit the local sites and take in all that the Champlain Islands have to offer.

Out Vermont Vacation
Every member of our party from 14 to 70 years old enjoyed our stay. The family checked out the neighborhood and surrounding towns, toured various local sites and points of interest, and enjoyed the lake. Fishing, boating, floating, and even swimming in the cool lake waters in mid-June were enjoyable to them. Family members enjoyed the tandem bike and the pedal/paddle boat. We would recommend this house to any group who wants to visit Vermont. Our communications with Jeff were answered quickly, and he was very helpful with information about the house and the area. We had 15 people in our party and the 7 bedroom house was large enough for all of us to have a comfortable stay. We would definitely recommend this house to others and would stay there again in future visits to the area.
