About this house rental

Fall in love with Isle La Motte! Explore a unique, unspoiled corner of Vermont. There is truly something magical about the beauty and quiet of this place.

The spacious house is situated on one acre, with 100 feet of lakefront access and a stunning view to New York’s northern Adirondacks. A deck with chairs overlooking the lake provides a space to relax. A private dock, shared with a cottage on the same property, provides direct access to the lake, and a swim raft will provide hours of fun for the swimmers. A private mooring (installed in 2019) will hold your boat. Four kayaks, a canoe, and a stand up paddleboard are available for your use, with personal flotation devices available. A game room in a detached converted garage will lure the young at heart with ping pong, air hockey, and foosball tables. Swings, a variety of lawn games, and a volleyball / badminton net will keep everybody active when they’re not in the water or out exploring the area.

The house is fully equipped for your relaxing vacation. Downstairs features a large comfortable open living area with sliding glass doors overlooking the lake and a gas fireplace for chilly evenings. A fully-equipped modern kitchen connects to a dining area with seating for 12. A kids’ play area offers games, books, art supplies, toys, and a table. A large flatscreen is equipped with Roku.

The first-floor bedroom includes a queen and a daybed with pullout trundle. A desk alcove offers a quiet work space for those who just can’t leave the real world completely behind. The large en suite bathroom includes both limited-mobility and tub showers. An additional full bath and washer / dryer are located off the kitchen.

Upstairs are three bedrooms and a bathroom. The Blue Room has a queen, a daybed, a pullout trundle, and a fantastic view over the lake. The Flower Room has a full bed with views to the lake and the back yard. The Bunk Room has one bunk bed and a cozy window seat / reading nook. All upstairs rooms are wood paneled and carpeted, with adequate storage for all your stuff and multiple windows to catch the cool evening breezes. Each room has an individual thermostat for your complete comfort. A full bath with tub shower completes the upstairs.

Local attractions and activities are almost too numerous to mention. Swim or fish right off your own private dock or head out onto Lake Champlain in a kayak or canoe. Learn the rich geologic history of the island's Chazy Reef at the Isle La Motte Historical Society. Walk along the fascinating interpretive trail through the Goodsell Ridge Fossil Preserve. Visit the haunting Fisk Quarry Preserve, right around the corner. The historic Fisk Farm is a half mile up the road. St. Anne’s Shrine at the north end of the island draws thousands of visitors every year. Five state parks and a golf course are nearby. A 30-minute drive will take you to local vineyards with frequent wine-tastings. For those wanting an urban experience, Montreal and Burlington are each about a one-hour drive, and Stowe is about 90 minutes. Hiking in New York State’s Adirondack Mountains is just across the lake. You will find a complete detailed guide to local attractions at the house.

Experience all that “island time” has to offer…we look forward to sharing the South End Lake House with you!

This was our second time in this lovely lakeside vacation home, and we will definitely be back. Spacious , comfortable, well appointed living areas, stocked inside and out with everything you could possibly need. Even the rainy days brought enjoyment—the game room, books, puzzles, large screen TV, and fully outfitted kitchen gave us plenty of ways to enjoy a rainy day in paradise. Hosts Abi and Bill have thought of everything, and communications were welcoming, clear, and timely. We biked, ran, swam, boated, strolled, fished, played board games and game room games, did puzzles, read books, cooked, and watched movies. We visited the Fisk Farm Art Barn, Fisk Quarry, Goodsell Ridge Preserve to see fossils, Hero’s Welcome, and Cafe Rouge for breakfast in the Quebec village of Bedford, about an hour away (highly recommend!). We had an easy drive to and from Burlington to pick up a family member from the airport and we shopped nearby for organic groceries. I can’t say enough good things about this property, the hosts, and our stay.

You're on Island Time is a beautiful, well located property that exceeded our expectations. We had a great time enjoying all that the lake has to offer with our family especially the panoramic lake views from the house and dock. Spectacular sunsets!! We also loved the close proximity to the local restaurants and stores. Our barbecues with food from local stores were fantastic, especially "Happy Bird". You're on Island Time had everything to create a wonderful family vacation!

This is a wonderful vacation house, which we thoroughly enjoyed. It is attractive, has lovely grounds, and is thoughtfully appointed. We loved the beautiful deck with its comfortable chairs and the picnic tables on the lawn. It was great to have the use of the games in the game room. Isle LaMotte itself is relaxed and scenic. We had a big group to feed every night and it was delightful that there were always enough plates, plenty of mixing bowls and serving platters, and the right utensils for preparing meals. Thanks for sharing your beautiful home.

This is a truly beautiful property directly across the road on the water with a private dock. The house was large and comfortable with all of the amenities you could ask for! Very clean!
