Would definitely look again at renting for the summer months

My family and I stayed for a weekend visit to spend time with my son who is attending Plattsburgh University. We loved the home and all want to come back soon! We stayed in early October and the view of the lake was beautiful. The home was clean, bright and open. The rooms were perfectly spacious to fit our large family. I loved the oversized dining table. We had plenty of room to carve pumpkins after going to Bankers Orchard in Plattsburgh on our way up. The fall leaves were spectacular and the area around the lake with the farms and mountain vistas were perfect! I was hoping for warmer weather for the weekend so that we could use the kayaks and go fishing. Unfortunately it was only in the 50s and the lake affect wind was just too much. We did bundle up and we sat around the fire pit. There was plenty of wood provided for us to stay warm. We played horse shoe and we even hung a tree hammock in the corner of the property for enjoying the best views by the water. My daughter’s Silver Lab had a blast in the water. He didn’t mind the cold temps!! We walked around the neighborhood in a big loop that takes you around the block and enjoyed waving to the friendly neighbors. We cooked in the well appointed kitchen and also used the grill. We played some of the board games from the cabinet (we love Bolderdash!) and my sons played chess all weekend with the lovely chess set provided. We forgot to bring our own logs from home to use for their lovely fireplace. We were able to purchase a few bundles in the nearby town. I also forgot that you need to bring your own toilet paper from home. I will always cherish the memories of sitting by the fire, feeling warm and cozy while looking out at the lake and spending time with my family at this wonderful home. It went way too fast- We are definitely coming back!!

The rental was great. Good size bedrooms and 3.5 bathrooms. The kitchen had every utensil you ever needed. The water is well water though… not real crazy about that feature but other than that the stay was great.

We had a nice week at the start of September. Our favorite parts of the property were the kayaks/canoes available to guests and the boat house shed with a fun tiki bar atmosphere. My husband loved the grill area. The fire pit area was great and wood was provided (though it needed to be split). We were disappointed that the water level was too low to use the dock or mooring with our powerboat (21ft bowrider) despite communication with the owners about boat use just a few weeks prior. The water level was two and a half feet or less at the mooring ball. The house was fairly clean, although the bedding smelled a bit musty in some rooms. The kitchen was well equipped for a large group. We were a group of 6 adults and had enough bath towels, but would have needed more if the full 14 people on the listing had come. The towels also seemed well worn. We traveled with our parents and they would highly recommend adding non-slip grippers to the master shower floor and guest bathtub floor. All in all, it was a great week and we'd stay there again when the water levels are higher.

Great location and house, loved it! Thanks for sharing!!

Staying here has become a family tradition! This rental continues to be one of the best VRBO's we've stayed in. Everything you could possibly need or want is at the house. And the views and access directly to the lake are unparalleled. Communication with Tom is simple and easy. We can't say enough about the rental and we'll be back!

Loved every moment we were there. It was beautiful with so many places to sit and relax.we can't wait to do a whole week the layout of the house was beautiful and very thought out.Loved the color themes. Thank you for such a great first time lake living. We always went to outer banks.

Dear Tom & Karen, We had a wonderful and memorable stay at Champlain House. Lots of love and laughs were shared and we will always cherish this amazing getaway. We will not hesitate to refer you to friends & family. Many thanks! Sophye & Scott

This lakefront home was perfect for a winter getaway with the extended family. There were enough rooms for everyone to feel they had their space, and great gathering areas both indoors and outdoors to allow us all to reconnect and make some family memories. Although I visited in March, it is clear this venue would be amazing to visit in the summer. Nevertheless, I would totally recommend it for a winter visit as well - there were opportunities to go sledding in town, snowshoeing closeby, and sitting by the fire in the backyard.

We had a lovely weekend looking out at the frozen lake and enjoying being inside the cozy house. We loved everything about the house and everything was very well appointed. The kitchen had everything we needed for a long weekend, and our two labs loved lying on the floor in front of the fireplace. There were plenty of bedrooms, each with its own space heater, rv, and plenty of extra blankets and pillows. We had a great weekend!

This is a lovely home with modern updates and an open floor plan on the first floor. It is fully equipped for cooking, entertaining and hanging out with family. Communication and information flow from the owners was excellent, and we had all the information we needed to seamlessly enter the home and have a relaxing weekend over the holiday. We were ther ein the winter, but it is obviously a gem of a spot in the warmer weather. The sleeping space is perfect for adults and teens, and our expectations were met for this rental. So grateful for the clarity and depth of information about the house so that we could feel confident about being in the home.

The house was great, clean and inviting. Tom the host was very accommodating. We came to the area for a quick waterfowl hunt with a local guide. House was conveniently located.

The setting is gorgeous and the house is well maintained and very comfortable

Beautiful property with everything you could want

This beautiful home has plenty of great spots to enjoy the view and hang out with each other. Back yard has a great view and tons of chairs. Kayaks were fun. Kitchen is well equipped and they had lots of spices so you didn’t have to buy all that stuff. Owner was super responsive and helpful. Don’t miss this great house. Many of the pics for rentals are fake news. These pics were the real deal.

My friends& I all turned 50yo this year and went on this trip to celebrate. The property lived up to all our expectations. The amenities are great; the "Boat House," fire pit, the grill area, the watercrafts, great outdoor seating areas, long dock, large kitchen/ living room area, etc. We ran into a plumbing issue that the owner resolved quickly. Couldn't be happier with how it was handled. Thank you to the Robinson's. They are doing it right.

The property is beautiful and just as described. We had an awesome time. Even though the weather wasn’t great the guys still got some fishing in. Had some evening fires and the sunsets are beautiful. Tom is amazing to work with.

A great house. Our family and friends had a wonderful time enjoying the lake everyday. House comes with everything we needed. The boathouse and outdoor cooking area was a nice bonus. Many kayaks and canoes provided by owner. Dock is nice and in good shape. House was clean at arrival and check in/check out was a breeze. Great communication by owner. No issues. Will hope to return one day !

The rental property was nice and was in a nice location. The contact person answered questions in a timely manor. If you want to focus on family time this is the perfect house.

Such a beautiful place that feels like home. Amenities for all ages! The sunset is absolutely stunning. Very easy process! Home away from home. This may be our new summer spot!

Beautiful lake house. Plenty of space. Clean and comfortable. We'll be back!

What a gem! Plenty of room with. all the amenities you could think of. Beautiful view of the lake. Breath taking sunsets.

Enjoyed our stay at the property up on Lake Champlain. We had great communication all the way through the process. The view is absolutely immaculate, and I would certainly stay here again.

The property was clean, quiet, comfortable, had everything anyone would want or need for a vacation. All the amenities one could need. A great place to go and forget about your worries, boat kayak, swim, relax......what more do you need. Oh a great fire pit wich this property has.Thanks Thomas. The owners answered all my questions and were detailed. Great stay.

It was a pleasure to work with Tom to set up our stay at his house on Lake Champlain. The setting of the house is spectacular. You have a great view of the lake, distant mountains and beautiful sunsets. The house is gorgeous and perfectly set up for a multi generational family gathering. The chefs in the family loved the well equipped kitchen and the huge wooden dining table. We all loved the fireplace with its surround of nap worthy furnishings. There’s plenty of room for gathering and plenty of space for privacy. Thank you, Tom, for creating such a beautiful, comfortable space.

We had an amazing week at this home- the house itself is beautiful and well-stocked- better than any other home I have stayed at as far as kitchen appliances/tools. The downstairs open plan kitchen/dining/living room was the perfect space for us to all be together with plenty of room for everyone to be comfortable and relax, cook, play cards, read, etc. The boat shack was awesome, as well as the deck in front of it for coffee and dinners. We used the kayaks and canoes, it was so great to be able to just head into the water for an hour or two so quickly! We had fires every night at the firepit and it was great to have firewood provided. Tom was very receptive to any questions or needs we had, and we are so glad we had the chance to stay at this property! We were all heartbroken to leave at the end of the week, and hope to come back again in the future.
