About this cottage rental
For anyone who camped as a youngster, you'll appreciate the specialness of this property. A camp with all the amenities, extremely private, with breathtaking sunsets, no two ever alike. A fisherman's delight with direct access to the lake and your own mooring. LCI Derby anyone? Crystal clear waters for swimming and plenty of beach for combing. Definitely something for everyone, and you don't have to cross a road to get there!
Wildlife abounds! We have resident herons, osprey, and even a bald eagle has landed on our railing! It is not uncommon to see a family of deer in the field or hear an owl at night. But that's all you'll hear. This is an extremely secluded piece of property, yet you are just a half mile from the main road.
There are plenty of destinations for day trips, Montreal is 1 hour north, Burlington VT is 1 hour south, the Alburgh Dunes State Park is an easy walk 1 mile away. It's a perfect area for biking and exploring. The Lake Champlain Islands are home to many festivals, attractions, and summer concerts.
Bring nothing but your clothes and food, this cottage comes fully equipped with dishes, linens and towels as well as two kayaks, a canoe, gas grill, fire pit, and large lawn for fun and games. Two bedrooms, one with a double bed, the other with a bunk bed. But everyone's favorite are the twin beds on the porch. Or pitch a tent in the yard -- a child's delight.
Rentals are for one week blocks, Saturday to Saturday.

It was perfect! Peaceful, sleeping on the porch was so nice, the sounds of nature around you. My puppy Zoie loved swimming in the lake. I will definitely be returning in the future!
5.0
Exactly what I had wanted - rustic but with the amenities that make it easy to have my coffee and cook when I choose. The view of the lake - and the sunsets across that lake - incredible! Had my two grown daughters join me unexpectedly, but we each had ample space and enjoyed day trips to Burlington and St. Albans. And read books!!! Very peaceful place - other than the deer flies that are everywhere in Vermont this time of year.

Owners live next door to the property. They were welcoming. The views are breath-taking. We enjoyed several of the 4th of July fireworks from the water's edge. The drive to the closest supermarket was 30 mins. Recommend a visit to the nearby towns and farmers market (approx 30 mins drive). We enjoyed fishing, swimming, kayaking, and canoeing. The small fans were inadequate in cooling the rooms and the bedroom with the bunk beds has a window that doesn't open. First day, I had to clean the yard and pick up after previous dogs walked in the area. The owner apologized and she was understanding. It would be a place we would return to if an air conditioner were added; otherwise, the heat is overwhelming at night.

All of the previous positive reviews are accurate. This cabin was clean, comfortable, and beautifully located. Melanie and Vinny were so kind and helpful. After a day of hiking, I was so glad to come back to this cabin. Hannah, my dog, loved the big yard and swimming. Highly recommend this place!

Fabulous week at the lake cottage! Gorgeous sunsets, eagles, herons, geese and a chorus of owls at night! Incredibly relaxing and our hosts thought of every last detail!

Wonderful hosts and accomodations! The lake view, evening kayaking and amazing sunsets were such a treat.
5.0
The cottage is very cozy and inviting, Mel and Vin have really thought of everything! Sleeping on the porch was so peaceful and refreshing and of course the sunsets can't be beat. The location is secluded and quiet. It should be noted that there is a set of stairs down to the water (about 20) in the event someone is unable to navigate. The amount of weeds in the water was unfortunate because we couldn't swim, but we made the best of it. Owners were very responsive and had fresh flowers waiting for us when we arrived. Very tasteful!

We enjoyed our stay. Melanie and Vin are very accommodating.

The Alburgh Cottage with its amazing views was breathtaking........ let alone to watch the resident eagle soar past our window every morning.
The cottage itself besides being cozy had a rustic atmosphere with a taste a fisherman would love and even his wife! Everything was inviting about our cottage. The host and hostess provided us with everything one could imagine. And on top of it it all, it was very clean and kept immaculate.

Listing and location is exactly as described. Fit my family of 4 and dog perfectly. Our dog enjoyed the property the most…swimming, kayaking, canoeing, floating. We visited Burlington and Montreal. Great weather, great week.

Our hosts, Melanie and Vinny, greeted us at our arrival with a warm welcome, a tour of the property, lovely local flowers which graced the kitchen table and an offer of kindness and friendship. They are a wonderful and gracious couple.
The camp is delightfully simple and thoughtfully supplied. It was the relaxation we were seeking and included such things as kayaks for exploring the lake and/or fishing, a small woodstove for one chilly, rainy day, books, movies and games. The sunsets are truly spectacular, the chipmonk colony entertaining and there is a charming background of bird song throughout the day. It was everything we hoped for and more... and like many before us, we hope to return.

My wife and I stayed a week at the cabin for our anniversary trip. It was our base camp for daily trips to nearby towns for hiking and biking. We enjoyed the peace and quite as well as the amazing sunsets!

I had a wonderful time at this sweet cottage. Such a warm welcome from the owners, the beautiful and private spot that is dog friendly, and expensive beach…I feel lucky to have found it. The cottage is immaculate and has everything that you need. So looking forward to my return!

Wonderful peaceful week in the Alburgh cottage!

We had the most wonderful stay at this cottage! Vincent and Melanie have set this up so we had everything we needed, and all questions were answered by the note on the fridge. We spent most of our days paddling around in the kayaks and canoe; we also went swimming at Alburgh Dunes one day and horseback riding at Breakaway Farm another. And, of course, we enjoyed maple + chocolate soft serve at the local creemee and made s'mores by the campfire! But mostly we just relaxed—something that is not easy for my husband to do. This place is magical, however. My teenagers stayed mostly disconnected from their devices, for a change, and we all enjoyed each other's company. The cottage is clean, comfy, and cutely decorated. Even on the hottest days (88 degrees Fahrenheit), we stayed cool in the shade with breezes blowing across the lake. You cannot beat the location if you're looking for a peaceful spot. The other people who have commented here aren't exaggerating about the sunsets. They are spectacular. The sound of the waves lapping the shore in the morning while the birds sing and ducks quack sets the tone for every blissful day. We even saw a bald eagle soaring overhead. Wow! We noticed that our usually tense little rescue dog seemed far more relaxed than usual. Highly recommended. Thank you, Vincent and Melanie!

We had a most relaxing week and wished we had booked the property for two weeks. The sunrises, sunsets, birds, and weather all cooperated with this lovely cabin on Lake Champlain to provide us with a most relaxing week. A trip is great when you leave wanting more and that's exactly how we felt. The owner, Melanie and Vinny were at their home next door when we arrived and welcomed us warmly - suggesting food and shopping locations. They left us to enjoy the secluded site and returned when we were leaving. That worked well for us. We are pretty solitary people and enjoyed the privacy of the darling cabin.
The cabin was appointed with everything we could need and there was a place to get food, and ice cream, within a very short drive. We especially loved the beds in the porch. We slept there every night and got some of the best sleep either of us had experienced in ages.
Our dog, George, was with us and was welcome most places we went. He's a 16 pound white fluffy and was especially popular at the local golf course patio restaurant.
We highly recommend this spot.

This quaint cottage was the perfect spot for my family! The bird watching was amazing!

The cabin was a perfect classic Vermont lake cabin from my childhood but without all the musty smells and bugs. This cabin was spotless, quiet, secluded, on the shore and positively lovely. We found tons of fossils on the rocky beach. We even had fresh flowers waiting for us when we arrived. We already know we want to come back next year.

This property is simply wonderful! Clean and well maintained, so much thought went into the property inside and outside. Peaceful, quiet, and secluded which makes this property the perfect place to relax and get away from the everyday grind. The hosts communications make planning your stay easy.
The perfect sunsets are a daily occurrence!

Our stay at the Alburgh Cabin was peaceful and quiet. The cabin was very clean and well set up for our stay. Vincent and Melanie communicated quickly and were helpful. We enjoyed the closeness to the Alburgh Dune's State Park which is the best beach in the area. We appreciated the private location, beautiful sunsets, and easy access to the waterfront.
2.5
The cabin was comfortable with everything you might need for entertainment included. We wanted a quiet relaxing time and got it in spades - I even read 2 books. Very clean and the hosts were extremely helpful and understanding. Thank you!
