Our family comes together once a year for vacation and we have been to Lake Champlain four times. This was our first time in this house. The biking is outstanding. This house offers rides in all directions and a quiet road for walking or jogging. We also made frequent use of the lake access. The back deck is a great spot to hang out and take in the sunsets. The kitchen provided everything we needed to make the special meals we like to make on vacation. Everyone agreed that this was a perfect place to enjoy all our vacation activities.

What a beautiful property! We were there mostly to sleep because of family obligations over the weekend. There were supposed to be 13 of us and it ended up being just 3. The house is definitely going to be a place we go back to with the entire family.....it will easily accommodate all of us and I can see many memories being made in the future.

This was a wonderful house on the lake. Great location and the listing was very accurate. There was a croquet set in the shed and we had a blast playing on the huge lawn. The sunsets were gorgeous and coffee on the large back deck looking out on the lake was so relaxing. The owner added some personal touches that made us feel welcome and I would highly recommend this home to anyone looking to enjoy Vermont.

Great property, great location! Hope to be back!

Wonderful for large groups. Only downside is difficult access to the water and having no visual of our "beach " from the house or deck...didn't affect the teens at all but a little boring for slightly handicapped grandfather! However, would definitely rent again.

We had a wonderful week. Plenty of beds. Only problem was access to the water. Very rocky and dangerous. We had a boat but nowhere to safely dock .

We love South Hero and the location of this house is perfect! The grounds of the home are absolutely beautiful, spacious, private and well maintained. The house itself is pretty and spacious. However, the house itself is in serious need of some upkeep (needs to be painted, broken furniture removed, needs new mattresses - ugh our backs, appliances don't work well). But my real issue is with the unresponsiveness of the property manager, Evan. We arrived on Saturday at 4 pm and very quickly noticed the refrigerator was not cold enough, even on the coldest setting. I reached out to Evan early Sunday morning and he called me back late in the day on Sunday, was apologetic and said he would come Monday morning to take a look. On Monday morning, Evan did come. He entered the house without even knocking and he shined a flashlight at the fridge (looking at nothing in particular) and said he would call a repair person but the fridge might need replacing. Next, I heard from him on Monday late in the day and he said that a repair person had "ordered a part" and I should unplug the fridge for 20 minutes and see if that helps. It didn't help. The repair person never came all week, Evan stopped responding to my emails and we had a lot of spoiled food. I even sent an email asking Evan to supply me with his office phone # so I could speak to a manager but he ignored that request too. Not worth the $ we spent to stay here.

This property is large and comfortable and has everything you need in terms of kitchen and linens. I wish the property owner with do some pruning of trees and shrubs so the entire, incredible view could be seen from the house and lawn (only from the dock is the full mountain and sunset panorama visible...and it is breathtaking). Investment in pruning would increase the value of this property significantly. Renters who are interested in canoeing or kayaking should know that the water on this side of the island is VERY rough/windy/choppy. Our group loved the swimming and spent time in the wonderful, refreshing water every day, but we struggled to enjoy our kayaks.

Great location for a multi-generational group. Beautiful setting!

We were a group of three families and dog. Kids slept on the third floor which made the trip very pleasant for the adults! Great location, didn’t have an issue with sheets or beds like another reviewer but we also got the good bedroom. Note: the master is amazing and the other bedrooms were adequate. There is a dock with a ladder (too shallow at the end for jumping) and a rock beach. Highly recommend water shoes for all people as the rocks are slippery and jagged. This appears to be due to the rock formation of the shores of the lake. There is a rock beach entry to the water as well - helpful for the dog and launching our kayak, but I’m glad we didn’t have a toddler on the beach. House is set up well. Deck is fantastic. Plenty of seating inside as well. Highly recommend bringing bikes as the bike causeway is beautiful and only 8 miles from the house. The ferry to Plattsburgh is a mile or so north - made it easy to visit auasable chasm - much faster and cheaper than the Burlington ferry. House is not air conditioned but has lots of fans and temps dropped most nights so everyone was comfortable. Although the master has windows on three sides so I think we got the best room again! Only suggestion to the owner: maybe put the felt pads on the bottom of the dining room chairs, really loud on the floors - see place is so great that this is my suggestion!

Peaceful setting, beautiful house and grounds

3 families had plenty of room to spread out. Awesome ‘kid’ room. Very nice master. Other two rooms were tight. Beds & sheets need updating throughout. Nice Fire pit, dock, big yard & deck to play/relax. Kitchen had lots of odds & ends but could use some organizing or replacement of most needed pots/pans. House could use a thorough cleaning. Close to lots to do in the area but nice quiet location w/ farm stand across the street & winery down the road.

Waterfront is ideal for swimming, kayaking, and windsurfing. Location is peaceful and with the city of Burlington and the mountains all nearby.

Fantastic!

Great property- Lake was beautiful and we even had a cat the kids loved. Close to all activities we wanted to do or within driving distance. Loved the area and Vermont.

We were thoroughly impressed with the house and property. The sunsets every night are amazing and the deck and yard are great for just hanging out and relaxing. I would highly recommend this property if you have a couple families and kiddos as the 3rd story is great to let the kids have their own space. The dock is great to access the water and tie off a raft to float around on. South Hero is a great little area as well.

Spent the weekend here with family. House is good for a large group. Location is great. close to Burlington and ferries to New York with a beautiful view of the lake. House could probably have been cleaned a little better.

We had a wonderful family vacation at this beautiful home and location. Amazing views, tons of amenities, would definitely stay again! Very friendly and helpful owner and caretakers.

Great for families and extended families. Master bedroom and bath are unusually nice, and the large third floor room is terrific for kids and teenagers.

Great spot with fantastic views. Deck is great for relaxing and the backyard has great space for kids to play whiffle ball, etc. The dock is a short walk down from the backyard. We had kids ranging in age from 3 to 14 and they had a blast jumping off the dock, and fishing from it as well. We had kayaks with us as well and spent some time out in the lake on them. The house was clean and well equipped. Would recommend grabbing provisions in Burlington area. There are a number of stores on the island that can provide for daily necessities, though. Location is great, a number of state parks around for beaches. We jumped the car ferry over to Plattsburgh for a day, and spent a night in Burlington, too. The third floor is perfect spot to leave the kids, a lot of beds and plenty of space. For couples, the master bedroom (awesome), 1st floor bed and one of the second floor bedrooms are best. There is a small bedroom on the second floor that has a single bed. Gran Isle is beautiful. Would definitely rent here again and highly recommend. Peaceful, relaxing plenty of space.

The house was beautiful - clean, large and well stocked. The setting is lovely and we watched the sunset and enjoyed great campfires. Sleeping arrangements worked well for our family, kitchen and outdoor grill provided great spaces for meals. We were all very satisfied.

Great house

The house was great! Location was excellent and all accommodations were as stated, roomy, comfortable and clean. Only 2 VERY MINOR complaints. The TV was difficult to operate but the picture was excellent. Also the oak tree in the center of the yard blocks the view of the sunset from the deck. Trimming a few branches would make a significant difference. (However it probably helps prevent erosion, keeping the house from sliding into the lake so what can you do?) Overall I would highly recommend this place to anyone, and if we vacation at Lake Champlain next year, would try to rent this house again.
