Beautiful cottage in a quiet neighbourhood, a few yards from lake Champlain

You will love this beautiful cottage. Situated in a friendly neighbourhood where children are welcome.
They will love to play in the sand or in the beautiful waters of Lake Champlain. The water level is very low and goes down gradually so it's great for small children as well as adults.

Rest assured that every step has been taken to insure your safety and ours during, and after this Pandemic.
The cottage is our vacation home that we rent out a few times during the summer to help with our expenses.
We do the cleaning ourselves and will make sure that all surfaces are disinfected before and after you leave.

Our cottage is the perfect place for a relaxing vacation. You can feel safe and there are no worries about keeping your distance with others since you will be alone in the house, on our side yard and the front deck. You also have your private walk down to the water and your private beach area, away from anyone else.

We usually supplied bed linens but during this extraordinary period we ask that you bring your own, if possible.


We have beautiful Airport Park a few minutes away that offers tennis, pickleball and basketball courts as well as a bicycle rental tent if you want to take advantage of the beautiful bike paths all around us.
We have 3 sunny bedrooms plus a sun porch
Sun deck facing the lake with patio furniture, gas grill and a cute fire pit.
Short bicycle ride to downtown Burlington along bike path
Offers 2 queen beds and twin bunk beds.
Perfect for relaxing, swimming or sun bathing on our beautiful sandy beach
Great shopping downtown Burlington or at Essex outlets
A short drive to Stowe
On weekends you can rent kayaks or paddleboards at Bayside park or bicycles at Airport Park.
PERFECT FOR UVM and CHAMPLAIN COLLEGE parents visits or graduations.

Graduation Weekend
Beds were comfortable and the 3 season porch was a great place to unwind. We enjoyed the view of the water from the house. Kitchen is well stocked with dishes. At night we could hear tree frogs calling on the other side of the road, which was fun. There's also a park nearby with walking trails, and a grocery store close by. Zachary's Pizza is also close and we had an excellent pizza there. It was about 20 minutes to downtown Burlington. A very relaxing place to stay, so glad we found it!

Great location near the lake!
This was a lovely little beach house cottage in Vermont. The location was good as Burlington was only a 15 minute drive away. The cottage gets a little cold this time of year (October) so I would recommend using the fireplace for heat at night. Also, the shower is a little small so that is something to consider if you need/want a lot of shower space. Otherwise, the cabin was nice and it was in a good location.

Lovely cozy cottage on Lake Champlain
The cottage was clean, well appointed and cozy! Not far from downtown Burlington by car, and beach access. Beds were comfy and we had a lovely stay. Be watchful of the driveway in arrival if you come after dark—it’s not evident from the street at first glance. Hosts were helpful and communicative.

Lovely camp with everything you want + need
Our stay was absolutely wonderful. The property is in a little neighborhood that is quiet and beautiful with views of the lake and Adirondacks. The kitchen had everything we needed to make our meals and enjoy time together. We loved the fire pit outside and the option to sit under the canopy in the rain. It felt very nice to spend time as a family in someone’s family cabin/camp. We enjoyed playing board games in the evening as well. I cannot say enough great things! We hope to stay again in the future. Thanks for Claire and her family for the great getaway!
