We had a great stay. The house was clean and had everything we needed, the beds were so comfortable, the property and the views were so peaceful and beautiful. Everyone that stayed at the house with us was happy. Wonderful stay!!! Great communication with Ardie throughout our entire trip. If we are ever in the area again, we would definitely stay here again.

Run from this place
Terrible location, view of a 24 hr paper plant. Noisy, glaringly lit and intrusive factory which impacts on the view of lake. Large amount of black mold located in cramped bathroom shower. Extra fees were required for including dogs, linens & cleaning service after stay. Screen porch faced due west with no shades and door has holes. Furniture needs updating & a deep cleaning of overhangs is also necessary.Host was intrusive & very forceful in selling extra services such as food (restaurant meals) & fishing products. TV was not working for 2 days & not checked prior to our arrival.

Good Vibes in Vermont
This is the perfect place to get back to nature with modern convenience. The property is surrounded by trees and beautiful Lake Champlain, and is well maintained. We saw cotton tailed rabbits hopping around golden eagles flying above. It is extremely quite and peaceful, a great spot to take a break. Really cool towns are a short drive (20 mins) away for provisions and restaurants. Burlington is only 1hour and twenty. A really fun day trip, the Leahy Martime Museum is great for kids and adults. Definitely a spot we will return too.

Great time
We had a great time there! We loved being able to get up and go on the boat. Our 22’ boat fit just fine. We enjoyed nice views from the screened in porch. Most important our dogs and kids were welcomed. That was key for us. We had a great week.

A slice of heaven
Ardie and Mike are fantastic hosts! Hospitality was 100% The cottage that we stayed in was very clean and cozy. We all felt completely relaxed. A very quiet and safe area. It was awesome to learn about the family history of Watch Point Cottages, it made the stay even more special! Fishing Lake Champlain from the shoreline was incredible! Highly recommend Watch Point Cottages! Thank you again Ardie and Mike for the experience! 10 out of 10!

Not my first pick
the stay wasn’t the most pleasant. The female owner was a bit invasive, commenting on our appearances as soon as we got there. When we would finally get back from a long day at Lake George, she would complain about us having the porch light on while we were hanging out before bed. Speaking of bed, every single bed in the place was stained and dirty. It was the most filthy place I’ve ever stayed. We even put on our own spare sheets and we still felt dirty. We didn’t even bother trying out the hot tub after seeing that the entire place was not clean. Not recommended unless you want to just sleep for a few hours. And be monitored by the owners the entire time for either using or not using their properties amenities. Description failed to mention the cash cleaning fee, check deposit, and also that we needed to bring our own sheets. When Tom arrived to resolve our issues he himself agreed that some pillows should be replaces and the mattress covers as well.

Relaxing stay
We actually rented 2 cabins from Ardie and her family. My family stayed in one and my sister in law and her sons stayed in the other. They were clean and comfortable. Even though we had some rain, we enjoyed the peacefulness and the great views. The kids loved fishing and boating on the lake and we had a wonderful fireworks display. We can’t wait to go again!

Amazing getaway
The property is right on a lake with panoramic views from the front porch. Ardie is a wonderful host who showed us around and made sure all of our needs were taken care of. Additionally, Chef Mike's 30 years of cooking experience shows, we ordered dinner from the hosts two nights, and it was simply amazing. Fantastic hidden gem of a BnB, great place to get away and unwind.

Special Spot!
Despite the glimpses of International Paper in NY across beautiful Lake Champlain this property is a sybaritic special spot! A family property since the 50’s now run by the next generation and “invested in” by the grandchildren we felt cared for upon arrival and throughout our stay. Reminiscent of long-ago visits to friends and family properties it’s flavor is familiarly friendly while acceptably COVID-19 preventative.

Great house and the home owners were super friendly
Had a great trip to watch point inn cottages. The house was perfect for us and having the dock the leave out boats in the water was amazing. The home owners were some of the most friendly people I've ever met. They even let us borrow gas cans to put gas in our boats and left us vegetables from their garden. Will definitely be staying there again when I'm back up to lake Champlain!

Nice place to relax and unwind and with your pets
Beautiful spot on the lake. Nice event deck to enjoy the view and golden eagle flying overhead. Ardie and Mike were very attentive. Had an issue with one burner on stove and it was fixed within hours. Great for our dog. Thank you Ardie for his swimming lesson. If you stay there visit the sculpture walk on Route 74

Review of Watch Point Inn Cottage, Shoreham, VT - the Osprey
My wife and I and our 4 young adult children (ages 25, 22, 19, 17 and small dog -Casey the Cockapoo) had an amazing and wonderful experience renting this cottage out for the week of August 12th. The Owners - Ardie/Mike were so friendly and accommodating and made us feel so welcome - as if we were family. The property is gorgeous and the views of Lake Champlain spectacular! The cottage comfortably fit the 6 of us (plus plenty of TVs.) Chef Mike and Ardie prepared the most delicious home cooked meal of Bruschetta, Chicken Parm & Steak that we ever tasted! That was a memorable evening for my family - which is what family vacations are all about. If you desire an affordable, quiet, relaxing, and peaceful vacation - plus a glimpse of paradise - I would highly recommend your family stay at one of the 3 Watch Point Inn cottages. You will have no regrets and memories that will last a lifetime. Ardie suggested we hike Snake Mountain a few miles away and the view when the entire finally reached the top was absolutely breathtaking and beyond words!!! This place is two thumbs up!
