Perfect spot to view the eclipse
We rented this house for a short visit for the 2024 solar eclipse. Had a great view of the sun over Lake Champlain! The house was perfect for my wife and me with our 20 month old toddler - just needed a baby gate to keep her from dashing up to the loft.

Lakefront cabin
Very lovely cabin overlooking Lake Champlain. We found the place very tidy and well appointed. Quite comfortable for our stay. Would stay there again in a moment.

Nice lakefront spot for a quick stay
We had a nice stay. The view is beautiful. The house was clean aside from well-worn furniture that is past it’s prime. Found the listing description a bit misleading in that it makes a point to reference using the fireplace, but firewood is not provided and isn’t available at the nearby grocery store. Also says pet friendly, but it turns out this is specifically dog friendly (not car friendly). Interactions with property management felt sterile and corporate—not very helpful.

Great House, Beautiful Views
Great house, beautiful views, and the best welcoming committee (the golden retriever next door). The location is perfect… secluded and yet close to everything. My only recommendation would be to have a broom available to sweep the hard floors as needed (I found a dustpan but no brush). Also, it would have been nice to know some of the amenities that weren’t mentioned (like a hair dryer and a cornhole set). We had such a wonderful stay and would go back in a heartbeat.

Beautiful View Terrible Management Co
Check in -horrible. We drove over 5 fr RI w/ 2 dogs . We were given a pass code prior to visiting,pass code did not work. It took over 2 hrs for someone to contact us through text, the 800 number was busy, high call volume. After numerous texts/ tries w/ re-doing the pass code, it still did not work then I was told that I would be getting a phone call from management, We arrived at 5 o’clock. This is now coming around 8 o’clock on Thur. Finally about 830/9 ish someone from management contacted us via cell and his exact works were “ I’m the manager and keep gettin calls about an emergency, I’m on vacation “ not professional in my opinion. End result the keyless combo door lock wasn’t working and had to use the lock box key. Luckily during all this drama we found out the patio door was unlocked and was able to get in that way but it should not have been a problem initially! As for the house, exterior could use some clean up landscape was over grown, driveway is not paved or pebbled and with this weather it was a huge mud pit if you have a low car you would be stuck. Exterior and interior windows were dirty filled with webs and spiders both in and out ! Interior was surface cleaned only, needs a deep clean webs ,spiders/bugs were in every room in all the corners Walls need a scrub >marks/ dings , washer >mold in it, exhaust fan in bath- huge layer of dust on it. rugs=old/dirty we rolled up. Furniture -old , A+ on view/location. Probs>mgmt /clean/ update furn/ esp for the $

This place has it all!
This waterfront house is modern, clean and has water access and views! We found everything we needed or wanted in drawers and cupboards. We laughed about having our every wish fulfilled! Past comments convinced us to bring deck chairs and trash bags. These things were present. We loved it here!

Nice stay for a few days
Our stay here was part of a 3 state trip over 10 days. The home was very cozy for just the 2 of us-with only one bathroom I’m not sure it would be ideal for couples who are traveling together, but just fine for a small family. The two downstairs bedrooms (1Q, 1F) had window AC, as well as the living room, when we were there. They cooled the house effectively -it was low 80’s when we visited. Upstairs has just a ceiling fan & large floor fan, but we slept up there due to the beautiful views & high ceiling and had no issues with being too warm. Very clean except for cobwebs along ceilings/corners. Neighbors have erected a small fence to demarcate the lot line (and keep their friendly Golden Retriever in their yard). Great views of Adirondacks across the water! Would recommend to a friend.

Beautiful home
This house was clean and had a stunning backyard right on the lake. I’m only deducting a star because, as another reviewer stated, the management company gave canned responses when I messaged them and communication with them felt less efficient than it could have been. However, the house itself was beautiful and we highly recommend.

Water view close to Burlington
Conveniently located for visiting Burlington-Charlotte area. Loft area queen bed is firm. Would be nice if the full bed was queen sized. Would say comfortable for 5 rather than six. Dinner table has only 4 chairs. Only one chair out on deck. Clean, well stocked kitchen. Only one bathroom and shower curtain liner should be replaced and the curtain raised. Liner sits in tub water. Tub shower otherwise good with grab bars. Decent towels provided. Handy washer/dryer. No screen on door at back entrance; be mindful of letting bugs in when dark outside. Would stay again but with four.

Great location, terrible management company
The location is fantastic. Right on the lake, nice little yard, quiet, house is very cute. Sadly Vacasa made the stay an exercise in frustration. All communication pre stay was entirely canned responses and not helpful (asked about early check in and got canned response). The first night, we went to empty the trash and found no exterior trash bins and no extra trash bags. Contacted Vacasa and received an barely intelligible reply that said to leave the trash outside (unprotected from critters) and go buy more trash bags. Called in the morning and didn't get any better results. I reviewed Vacasa 4 business days before writing this review and no response. So, I would only recommend this stay if the owners change management companies or you are willing to deal with incompetence and poor service.

Beautiful Views and convenient to Burlington
House has beautiful views all around. House was very comfortable for the six of us. The deck and yard over the lake were incredible. No grill or lawn furniture though, sit on the deck or lake steps or bring your own. We used it as a home base when our daughter graduated from college and was very convenient for all we needed to do. VCASA fees are outrageous but their process in was good. Bonus on them they did let me know when the house was ready so we could check in early if we wanted to.

Nice location but very disappointed that there were no chairs or any other amenities at this lake front location. It would have been nice to at least have a few outdoor games. The home was also infested with carpenter ants.

Beautiful setting right on the lake with beautiful views of Shelburne Bay and the Adirondacks beyond. The house was very cozy and had everything we needed. Close to everything that Burlington and surrounding area has to offer. Easy access to grocery stores etc.
