About this cottage rental

Relax with the whole family at this peaceful place to stay. Disconnect from social media at this lake side cottage situated 60ft from the 115ft of water frontage. Equipped with a 60ft aluminum dock to fulfill your fishing pleasures. Boat launch on premises for small boats (ex: small bass boats). Enjoy gorgeous, west facing sunsets most nights on the Adirondack swing or while eating dinner on the spacious deck. Out back enjoy a large area for your recreational needs. 5 beds to share enough sleeping room up to 6 people.

The Queen room has a ceiling fan, 1 queen bed (linens provided) with table side lamp, wireless charging for your phone, EarPods and watch. Includes a dresser to place all your belongings and a closet with hangers to hang any outfit if needed. Also in the bedroom is a foldable portable mini crib (sheets provided). You will also find in this room the baby monitor and charger. The camera for the monitor is located in the twin room, but can be moved anywhere for your needs. The camera is connected only through Bluetooth between the monitor and camera, there is no wifi so it is a secure stream of video. Monitor can be taken outside with antenna up and out of any pockets to be able to view video of child inside the cottage.

The Twin room has a ceiling fan, dresser, closet, two twin beds (linens provided), one with a removable rail. Usually move it to the wall side of the bed. This rail is helpful for keeping young toddlers in bed who still need that crib feel but are too big for the mini crib. In the closet you will find a pack and play. On top of the dresser is a night light with remote, that casts twirling colorful stars and crescent moon on the ceiling and has music. You will also find two of the classic Berenstain Bears books. These books each have 6 books in 1!

The front living room has a ceiling fan, two reclining chairs and one full size futon (will need to bring own linens for the futon). This room also has a TV, equipped with a DVD player and a few movies to pick from. There are “bunny ear” antennas that do pick up a few local stations dependent on the weather (PBS is a hit with the kids). There is NO WI-FI or satellite/cable available. Once sitting in the living room you will be looking directly out the three windows towards the water. Watch wildlife and beautiful sunsets most nights.

The middle living room has one full size futon (will need to bring own linens for the futon).
There are two wall lamps that are perfect for reading a book or you can simply watch out the windows towards the water.
On the wall, right outside of the twin room is hooks where you’ll find life jackets for littles. (30lbs to 50lbs)
On the same wall you will find an additional table and stools. On the opposite wall there are two windows and right above those is the heat and A/C pump provided with a remote to heat and cool down the cottage. Directly below the windows is a Rinnai heater if needed, but we find that the pump unit does an efficient job.

The Dining room has a table that seats 6 people. High chair is also provided for those little ones. Placemats provided and a hanging “chandelier” above the table.
To make this space useful in between meals there are several Board games located in the Queen room closet.

The Kitchen is completely stocked with plates, bowls, silverware, glasses, utensils, bakeware, you name it!
Directly across from the stove is our coffee bar! Equipped with a Keurig that has three cup size modes. K-cups provided (Breakfast blend and dark roast).
Full size fridge and freezer. Inside the fridge you will find a brita filter, although the water is perfectly fine to drink from the tap, we understand some desires for that additional filtration. Inside the freezer are ice cube trays and a bin to hold ice cubes.
Above the stove you will find various spices to cook with.
The Microwave is to the right of the stove.
Plenty of storage for your food you wish to bring with you. The deep double sink is situated looking out towards the big back yard. Most mornings you can find wildlife (some to included, deer and rabbits).

The bathroom has a single stand up shower (no tub) with a shower head/wand. The wand has a pause feature on it so it is simple to wash up the kiddos. Also located in this bathroom is a stacked washer and dryer. Laundry pods and dryer sheets provided.
Directly underneath the sink is a first aid kit, extra toiletry supplies and a hair dryer.
Towels and washcloths are located in the linen closet right outside of the bathroom to the left.

The back deck can be accessed directly out from the kitchen, you can find a patio set that seats 6 people, several umbrellas to provide shade and two sun loungers.
There is a propane grill provided for all your grilling needs! Grilling utensils are located in the kitchen.
The back deck also has two exits down to the side yards.

The front yard has a gradual slope down to the water. No cliffs or stairs!! 115ft of water frontage and a 60ft aluminum dock for your fishing pleasures! Four fishing poles and a simply stocked tackle box located inside the cottage.
There is also a paddle boat that can seat up to 4 people, available for use (upon request). Also in the front yard to the left of the boat launch is a fire pit. You may use the fire pit when it’s not too windy and I please ask that you do not create large bonfires, please put the flames out when going in for the night. There is NO WI-FI OR CABLE/SATELLITE TV. This cottage is a complete disconnect from the internet world. There is cell service in the living room areas and outside if you must make a call or browse the internet..

The dock is for small boats. There is usually 4.5-5ft of water towards the end of the dock. Depending on the height of the lake level the dock may be on the higher end out of the water. The lake level can vary from day to day and sometimes can be challenging when docking a boat. There is a boat launch on the property just to the right of the fire pit. If having troubles launching onsite there is a public launch approximately 1/2 mile up the road on Bridge Road.

Cute and cozy house right on Lake Champlain. Conveniently located off route 2 (some white noise from the roadway is noticeable). House has two small bedrooms (one with a queen size bed and the other with two twin beds). There is also a full bath with a washer & dryer. There are two comfy futons in the common areas that can also be used for additional guests to sleep on. Kitchen is fully stocked with appliances, utensils, seasonings and spices. Desiree was incredibly communicative and thought of all the little touches like having board games, extra paper towels, toilet paper, towels and dish soap. The living room has stunning views of the lake. Only downside is the neighbors on either side are very close, so privacy is minimal. The access to the lake is perfect for boating, fishing or kayaking. Our family had a great time here!

Beautiful clean property with a dock on Lake Champlain.. wonderful bass fishing, bird watching, kayaking and paddle boarding. The owner is super kind, there was a storm and the owner messaged to check on us. You will not regret the peaceful beauty of this spot!

My brother and I stayed at the lakeside cottage for our weeklong fishing trip. The place was spotlessly clean, the kitchen well-appointed, and there was plenty of room in the main area to relax and unwind. The dock on site was in great shape. If you want to get away from the hustle and bustle, this is the place to go. I would highly recommend it.

Loved this little cabin. This place is well stocked for anything that you need. The sunsets were incredible. For fishing enthusiasts the dock was perfect. We truly enjoyed our stay. We have stayed at many places over the years of going to North Hero, and have not found the perfect place. This place checks off most of our needs. One small issue is there in no wifi, we didnt care about the tv but it is hard to keep track of business while staying here. I can not understand why there is no wifi, we have stayed at places that offered alot less than this location, but they still offered wifi. They need to put in lamps or lights in the living room it is hard to read when you do not have adequate lighting. All in all we will stay there again and stay longer next time. We loved this place.

This place was beautiful. Felt like home with everything you need. Quaint, cozy, and fun. Spent the day on the dock watching the eclipse. The views from the property alone were with the trip. Sunsets are stunning. Communication with property owner was seamless and they went above and beyond. We can’t wait to come back in the summer!
