THE MOST RELAXING!
We are originally from upstate N.Y., so when I found Annie’s listing and saw the photos, I knew it was perfect for us. Indeed it was, from the location in Essex where we found unique shops and galleries to ice cream stores and funky bars with perfect water views! We were hooked after being at the original camp where Annie shared history of her beloved summer home. The kitchen had everything……each room was styled in the true Adirondack style….comfortable beds and a sweet secondary cabin for additional guests! Thank you Annie for your beautiful place on Lake Champlain!!

Great cabin by the lake, with lots to do at the beach and town
The house was a comfortable stay. With great areas around the house such as fire pit and screened in porch to visit. 5G Wi-Fi and full fridge, kitchen and microwave.. The cabin is like going back to the lake camps of the day, airie, open, big yard and close to town!

Our family loved our stay! We had 7 adults total and our dogs. Beautiful view of Lake Champlain. House was rustic and was the perfect place for our family to stay. Private and close to town and the Ferry to Vermont. Annie and her husband were wonderful hosts. Highly recommend.

Delightful and soothing
Yarrow Cottage is a wonderful step back in time in which you all have all you need: the view from the porch, the lapping water, the mountains in the distance, room for friends and family, great sleep and peace and quiet. The hosts and neighbors were also perfect. It was hard to leave and I look forward to going back.

Rustic Cabin Getaway
The main cabin sleeps 5 with 1.5 baths, small cabin in back sleeps two with a full bath. The view of the lake from the front screened in porch and additional outside deck was lovely! It's a short walk across the quiet country road to the shared dock and beach with Adirondack chairs provided by the water. Water shoes are necessary, as the beach is rocky. There is a large yard with room for lawn games, a fire pit and charcoal grill. You will find the quaint little town of Essex two miles north. You can take the tiny ferry with your car or walk-on to Vermont (It takes 35 cars at a time). Three or four lovely restaurants are near the ferry, a couple of gift shops and ice cream shop. Just wonderfully off of the beaten path. You will not encounter big crowds, which was just our style. The owner was incredibly responsive and took care of a couple minor issues rapidly. The beds are luxurious, comfy mattress and plenty of bedding for the cool evenings. No AC is provided, as it's not necessary unless it's a heat wave. There were plenty of fans provided.

Clean, Comfy and Convenient
This house was perfect for what we needed. Plenty of space, very clean, and well-appointed kitchen. Annie was easy to communicate with and the little details that she paid attention to were very appreciated. Having fire wood and toilet paper and dish soap on the first night of vacation is so convenient, but not every owner is as considerate. Plenty of sheets, pillows and towels are provided, which is another luxury in the ADKs. We loved the screened-in and front porch! Thanks, Annie, for a wonderful stay!

Idyllic Stay in Essex
This cottage was everything we hoped for. Set in a beautiful location on the Bay, we spent our days kayaking, eating on the beautiful screened in porch, and relaxing by the fire. Annie was a wonderful, communicative host. We would absolutely recommend this stay!
