Great stay and great host. Highly recommend this location and the recent remodel is excellent. Views are hard to beat…

The house is great and the location is wonderful. Tucked off a dirt road right up along the water, this spot is magical. Just a short 25 mins drive to Burlington keeps you right near the attractions. The house is clean and had everything we needed. The dock is a wonderful place to spend time in the sunshine. I have nothing but great things to say about this place. I would highly recommend it.

Location is beautiful, and the house is even better than the website, I would definitely come back again and I recommend this property.

Beautiful house, even if we werent in the water due to the temperature. Easy to get to burlington and other locations. Great kitchen with plenty of counter space to easily cook for many people

Our party of six had an amazing time watching the 2024 solar eclipse from this home. The views of the bay are breathtaking and can be enjoyed from anywhere on the expansive wrap around porch. The home is fully equipped and kid friendly. Plenty of towels, cleaning supplies and there are fun elements like a karaoke machine and chalk board wall for the kids. Also, two types of coffe markers (drip and kuerig). We are already making plans to come back. A true hidden gem!

We had a fabulous stay at Duck Blind and hope to return someday. The bay it’s on was mostly frozen (many ice skaters, wind skaters and even mountain bikers out in the ice) so we ventured out a bit which was lots of fun. The property was well furnished, everything you could need in the kitchen, games for kids and adults, comfortable, clean, and slightly bigger than we thought, which was great. While it listed as a 2 bedroom, there’s an additional bunk room in the basement which was great for the kids. I would have liked window coverings in the windows in that room , but that was the only thing I would have changed! We hope to go back next winter, but also interested in warmer weather too!

Most amazing views with plenty of privacy. Here on a winter weekend that was warm enough to be on the huge wrap around deck. Everything was clean and plenty of space. Enjoyed the 3 days would definitely rent again.

Fantastic place in a brilliant location. Two families with teens, we had a great Thanksgiving together!

Beautiful, isolated location, with water on 3 sides, where you can sit quietly on the large outdoor deck and listen to the waves bumping into the rocks. Walk down the long driveway, along peaceful farmland, for an easy hike in the woods. And all this is not far from the great restaurants and biking in nearby Burlington.

This home is perfect for rest and relaxation. It's far away from the hustle and bustle of a busy city or neighborhood. We had plenty of laughs and the views are to die for.

A beautiful and spacious home with amazing sunset views over Lake Champlain. The house has a wonderful kitchen and comfy beds. We loved the screened in porch and the wrap around deck. The property is private and secluded but also close to everything we wanted to see in the area. The islands and the ferry to NY are easily accessible. The rental experience was trouble free. Thank you, Ian for sharing your wonderful home with us.

We had such a beautiful weekend away at DuckBlind! The property is gorgeous and Ian was very responsive when we had questions. I would highly recommend this property to enjoy all that Lake Champlain and Burlington has to offer!

Second time staying here! Such a wonderful experience and retreat. Ian is so accessible and easy to deal with.

When we were finally able to get to the property (gps takes you the wrong way, owner warned us of this) we were instanty in awe the pictures dont give the place justice, its a beautiful property nestled right on the water. 10/10 would recommend to anyone who is looking for a lake house getaway.

What a beautiful home and property. The pictures are exact and the whole process was easy. A wonderful stay with our extended family for UVM graduation. I only wish we had found it 4 years ago!

We had a wonderful time at Duck Blind. The home is beautiful, spacious, and well appointed. It offers amazing views over the bay and feels secluded, while still being accessible to downtown Burlington. Its proximity to Niquette Bay State Park allowed for excellent winter hiking. We hope to return!

Beautiful location right on Lake Champlain. Very quiet and private.

Enjoyed our vacation tremendously.

The tranquility of DuckBlind is indescribable. Views from every corner, sunsets of multiple colors , glass like lake and the home has everything you need. We were sad our week was up. The owner was so accessible and kind. Hope we can come back next year! Paula and Ed M

Our family loves Duck Blind. Swimming cove is perfect—shallow for Frisbee, deep for laps. Wonderful paddling. Excellent kitchen. Delightful eat-in screened porch. Ian is a gracious and responsive host.

Owner is easy to work with. This was our second time renting this house, improvements made from last year were perfect!

Tons of amenities provided. Property was advertised accurately. Enjoyed the stay/views.

In order to celebrate our daughter’s graduation from UVM, we searched for a special spot which reflected the beautiful Lake Champlain area. Duck Blind was absolutely that perfect spot! The changes in weather and sunsets on Malletts Bay at this location are captivating. The house is located off a very unique and beautiful private drive, sits right out on the water, has it’s own cove, and is very secluded. Accommodations were very clean and modern, and the large Kitchen, Family Room, and Dining Room, constantly direct your attention to the outdoors, of the bay and the Lake Champlain islands. We absolutely spent most of our time outside on the wrap around deck. The house has two levels with each offering a large amount of living space, sleeping areas for extra guests, or large families. We also really enjoyed the fire pit and especially that firewood was provided. Ian is a great host, very responsive and accommodating. We absolutely plan to escape NJ, in the future, to return and experience the different seasons, at Duck Blind.

We were a group of 5 adults with different tastes and this house had something for all of us. The open layout kitchen with fabulous views of the lake through the large French windows was my most favorite thing to wake up to every morning. The house has been setup and maintained very thoughtfully. Everything is placed naturally where you’d expect to be and the cleanliness of the place was immaculate. We didn’t get bored for even a minute in the house. There were 2 TVs, lots of books, board games and even an electronic keyboard synthesizer. Even something like the lack of TV in the living room which we thought initially was an inconvenience, turned out to be a great idea! We were able to spend more time chatting with each other than we would have, had there been a TV in the living room. The internet was fast enough for two of my friends to work simultaneously, since they were working for a couple of days. Overall we were very satisfied with our stay and would love to go back soon!

Very nice manager that took care of everything for us. Perfectly set up for a family. We enjoyed the stay over Thanksgiving. I am sure summers here are spectacular. Loved the kitchen.

This is the ideal location for lots of fun with family and friends. My husband and I stayed here with our best friends and our son and his girlfriend. It is so close to Burlington and many other great locations e.g. hiking and apple picking. We especially appreciated the kayaks and the indoor fireplaces. We spent many nights sitting on the deck watching the sun set.

The property sits in an extremely beautiful location with water views on three sides. The dock and water amenities were very good. The property was in very good shape and we would definitely rent again.

The house is spare and elegant with walls of windows that bring the outside in. The property is wooded and extremely private. The swimming cove is completely private and idyllic. Many boats to paddle added to the pleasure. The kitchen is well equipped. The host--extremely responsive. We had a magical family gathering.

Had a wonderful family vacation. Our son lives in Burlington with his family, it was easy for him to bring his boat and leave on the dock. Also easy for them to drop off our grandchildren for overnights! Fishing, boating, canoeing, swimming, were all a lot of fun. Ian supplies all you need! Don't bother packing any family board games, the house has it all! Family dinners were perfect in the screened in porch - the kitchen has everything one needs to make a gourmet meal!! Communication with Ian was perfect!! Thank-you for a wonderful family vacation!

Incredible one of a kind experience on Lake Champlain.

What a wonderful place to celebrate our daughters graduation from UVM! Duck blind was a dream for our family. That kitchen is just gorgeous! We didn’t want to leave! Many thanks Ian!!

This property was exactly as advertised! A hidden gem of a property just north of downtown Burlington!
