About this cottage rental

Loved cooking dinner over the fire every night while enjoying the lake views

This was a return visit and the location is as lovely as ever. The hosts are very gracious and as a dog friendly property, it was fun to see their lovely dogs greeting and interacting with guests. The cottage is cute, comfortable, and well-appointed and despite some inclement weather, lots of rain, the short stay was just fine with great time in and by the lake.

Welcoming host; charming cottage; gorgeous lake views from the deck overlook and pier below; kayak, canoe and SUP. Brought our dog who had a blast in the water and on long walks along the gravel lanes.

Loved this cottage. It was perfect for our needs and we were able to bring our dog. Catherine and Tom were so nice and available if needed. Very clean and had everything you would want in the kitchen. There is a deck to watch the sunset and kayaks available. I can’t wait to go back.

The cabin is a perfect spot for two people. I like that even though it was a small cabin (plenty big for two though) there are two different doors for entering and exiting, and the porch overlooking the lake is a great spot for sitting. There are several comfortable places to sit and enjoy the view on the property. We appreciated the use of bicycles and canoe on site. The house is located about 1 mile down a gravel road, so it’s also a quiet spot (no street noise). Catherine is a generous host. I would recommend this spot to anyone looking to stay in the area.

We stayed in Vermont for a few days prior to running a half marathon in a nearby town. We had 2 dogs traveling with us and they loved the lake! The views are perfect, the hosts are attentive, the cabin was cozy and clean, and the lake was inviting! It was perfect for our little family and we hope to return one day!

Property is in a great location on the tip of south hero in lake Champlain. We were unable to use our kayaks at the property as the shore line was a 30 ft drop down a steep stairway. The property is secluded on a 1.5 mile gravel road off of the main highway. The house was in good condition. Wi-Fi very weak.

Lovely little cabin on the lake
Small cabin but with all the amenities needed for two people (and a dog!). Clean, supplied, owners on site for any questions. View is spectacular, with a deck on an overlook and a dock on the lake. Wish we could have stayed longer.

A Special Spot
This cozy, rustic cabin is perched at the end of a point on South Hero Island in Lake Champlain. We biked around the island, ate local farm fare. On the private deck, we did yoga overlooking the sunrise and sipped wine as the sun went down. The hosts are next door,, helpful and delightful.

Wonderful stay at a wonderful location
The location of this property is perfect if you enjoy scenic solitude. There were kayaks and bicycles available to use which were great.
We brought our dog and the hosts as well as the whole island are very welcoming to dogs.
It was a very peaceful and restorative stay

Peaceful retreat
Cozy cottage with a spectacular view. Classy welcoming gifts and decore. Welcoming hosts for both man and dogs. Spotlessly clean with many helpful kitchen amenities. Endless local farms! It was fun to source so many great home grown goodies, cook them up, eat on the deck as the dogs lumbered in the yard. Our luck, we could see the fire works, for the fourth, from the couch:)

The cabin is very comfortable and quite cozy.
Although the outside temps were quite warm and the cabin does bot have A/C, it was comfortable with fans. The morning sunrises were spectacular. Unfortunately, we did not spend al lot of time at the cabin due to a family wedding. The hosts, Catherine and Tom are very accomodating, and have thought of everything as the cabin has every necessity. Should we ever revisit this area, we would surely stay here again!

Most gracious hosts. Our stay was a perfect retreat vacation with spectacular and brilliant sunsets
We were inspired to cook and dine at “home”, as to enjoy the serene and tranquil views of the lake from our porch deck.. Looking forward to our return.

Serene
Our first time there. We brought our dog and cat. Our dog met new friends and so did we. Tom and Catherine are amazing hosts. Our cabin was just perfect. Sitting on the deck or swinging on the chair or sitting on the dock the view is breathtaking! Only a few miles from Canada so don't forget your passport.
We most definitely will be going back and staying longer the next time.

Relaxed and quiet
The location is secluded and quiet. The only traffic noise was from passing boats! We were always steps away from an incredible view of Lake Champlain. Access to the lake via stairs to a private dock was convenient. Incredible sunrises and sunsets. We fully enjoyed our stay, and are discussing a return visit.

Loved the property
As a former Vermonter, I know that this is one of the prettiest parts of Lake Champlain! The views are spectacular and the cottage was sweet and just perfect for one or two people and a dog. Catherine and Tom were accessible and I appreciated the makings of fresh OJ in the morning. Had a little mishap with a young, visiting family member and Tom was 'on the spot' with antiseptic cream and a bandaid! Would definitely recommend and book the property again myself. It was a great week.

Great Relaxing Cottage with views of Lake Champlain!!
The cottage next to the tennis court was spectacular. It had a nice setup with a bathroom, living room, bedroom, and little kitchen. The cottage had a nice porch looking out to the lake. The cottage met all our needs. The owners Catherine and Tom were amazing and very accommodating to making our stay perfect. The property is beautiful and perfect for everyone, including dogs. Our dog, Abe, very much enjoyed the property and the friendship of doggie residents Lucy and Linus. Kayaks are available on the property and recommend using them to enjoy the scenery.
