About this cottage rental

This loft-style lake house is located on a shale bluff on Hog Island in Swanton, Vermont and boasts absolutely phenomenal sunsets. It is designed for a relaxing, couples or single family vacation in a nature rich environment.

Open year-round, the house has a fireplace (propane), fire pit on the beach, great swimming water, 2 kayaks/lifejackets/paddles, Wifi (XFINITY Gig), washer/dryer, and air conditioning. It has hot water baseboard heating for year-round warmth.

The house is a new build with a queen-sized master bedroom, full bath, and a loft with two twin beds.

The kitchen has a large refrigerator, stove, microwave, and a dual function keurig (k-cup or drip).

The living room has a 75 inch SMART TV, two barrel chairs that swivel 360 degrees, loveseat with two reclining seats.

The waterfront deck has a grill, dining table and umbrella, and an outdoor sofa and coffee table.

Linens/towels (beach and bath)/plates (regular and paper)/glasses/coffee cups/Keurig (k-cups/drip dual function)/ground coffee/grill/ propane all included.

It's a great, relaxing location to take a swim or launch on a kayak site seeing cruise along the beautiful shoreline.

There is no dock (predominantly west winds) but the front yard offers plenty of space to park a boat and trailer.

There are two public boat launches nearby (West Swanton Boat Access .2 miles and Tabor Point Boat Ramp 4.2 miles).

In addition, the house is just steps from Hog Island Market where fishing equipment, bait, fishing license, ice, beer, wine, and groceries are all available.

Campbell's Bay Campground (~5mi) is also close by for Pontoon, Motor Boat, or Canoe rentals.

West Swanton Orchard (1mi) is a great stop for apples, soft ice cream and souvenirs.

Green Mountain Stables is directly across the road where visitors can watch the horses training or take riding lessons, and Missisquoi National Wildlife Refuge Visitor Center is also just one mile away.

The house is centrally located within the best Pike, Bass and Walleye fishing grounds on the lake!

For those who want a bit more adventure, the Canadian border is just 4 miles north. There is a nice small, waterfront town with several great restaurants called Venice en Quebec just across the border. Montreal is also only one hour north so bring your passports.

Great spot right on the water include kayaks and canoe's for the family. Location is great for trips into Canada including Montreal and Parc Safari, also close to attractions like Burlington and Ausable Chasm. Plenty of places to eat in nearby St Albans. Perfect place for a family trip and host was excellent. Hopefully return someday!

My family of four (adult children) found the property to have everything we could’ve needed. Beautiful view and sunsets. House was extremely clean, well stocked. Road The house is on is wonderful to bike on. Canadian border very close Highly Recommend. Only comment- is that water doesn’t taste great so plan to buy or bring your own.

The home was easy to find (with GPS) and check in was a breeze. It had everything we needed. We were looking for a place to relax which we found. It’s a bit of a drive to get anywhere but there isn’t any traffic so that wasn’t a problem.

This little house has everything a couple or a couple with a young kid or 2 needs. The kitchen is well appointed, with good quality dishes, cookware, coffee and spices. The patio overlooking the lake is perfect for meals, or just hanging out. Watching the sun set over the water became nightly ritual. Missisquo wildlife refuge is 5 minutes away-nice trails, especially the Black Creek one. (Bug spray is at the house) St. Albans is 15 minutes away, with a few great restaurants, diners, interesting bakeries and shops. And the islands are nice to explore. Bring swimming shoes or sandals- the little beach at the house is flinty. Nice to swim from. Josie is a great host. Highly recommend.
