Catch spectacular sunsets over Lake Champlain at this Isle La Motte cabin, a beautiful lakefront escape with an amazing view, private beach, a tree-lined deck, dog-friendly accommodations, and a stunning island location ideal for anglers, swimmers, cyclists, and hikers.

This Vermont retreat sits among the treetops on the western shores of Isle La Motte, with 750 feet of lakefront beach on a small, protected peninsula and cove. Here in the tranquil Lake Champlain Islands, you'll be just 46 miles north of downtown Burlington and 60 miles south of beautiful Montreal.

Secluded, spacious, and full of sunlight, The Bird's Nest shares its property with an historic farmhouse that dates back to 1835 (but the two do not share any common walls). Inside the open living space, you'll feel right at home under lofty ceilings, on several plush sofas, and beneath large picture windows that frame the lake and the trees.

Wake up each morning to sip your coffee in the living room, where you can spread out the newspaper on the coffee table, play a few tunes on the stereo, or use the WiFi to post photos. Grab a book from the shelves, flip through the channels on the flatscreen TV, and enjoy the peace and quiet of island living.

Flip pancakes with your loved ones in the full kitchen, where you'll find standard appliances and a dishwasher to take care of the chores. Indulge in some local maple syrup as you eat breakfast in the dining space for six, and throw on your bathing suits and flip-flops for a day of fun on the lake.

Soak in the summer sunshine, dip your toes in the cool water, or spend the morning fishing along 750 feet of lakeshore. Return home in the afternoon to fire up the gas grill, set the patio table, and enjoy an al fresco dinner at sunset on the deck. Please note that as this home's water is drawn directly from Lake Champlain, while perfectly fine for bathing, doing dishes, etc., we do recommend bringing your own drinking water.

With two bedrooms, a loft, and one full bathroom, this Isle La Motte home will accommodate six guests, and a dog is welcome. There are two bedrooms with double beds. There's an additional double bed - which is in a sleeping nook - and a daybed with a trundle in the open loft, as well as a bathtub/shower combination in the full bathroom.

Thanks to its remarkable position surrounded on three sides by Lake Champlain, The Bird's Nest is tailor-made for lovers of Vermont's outdoors. Spend your days sailing, fishing, birding, or swimming off the shores of your own private beach, or hop on your bike to tour the island's quiet country roads.

Make a tee time at Alburg Golf Links just five miles north, or spend the morning at Alburg Dunes State Park only eight miles east. The Historic Fisk Farm also sits within walking distance one mile down the road, offering concerts, arts and crafts shows, and performances and exhibits each Sunday afternoon in July and August.

Had a great time very quiet not noisy at all

It was overall a good experience. Unfortunately, the building does not receive the love and attention the building requires. It does not quite meet the pictures portrayal. Would I stay there again yes, it is though in need of some love and attention. It was for the most part very quiet and private. People kept coming to look for the owner, which we never saw. Sometimes they arrived at 6 am.

The house was well maintained and exists a very short walk down a path from the water. The area on the property by the water has great views of the lake with the mountains on the horizon. The island itself is quaint and the people are friendly. The only thing I’d dock it for was that the internet wasn’t working for us for the long weekend. That said, it didn’t impact our fun much as we were mainly outside and exploring the area. Highly recommended.
6.0 / 10.0Average·Aug 2022
Positives - The property has lake access within steps of the barn. The property is very private. The homeowner greeted us upon arrival and was very friendly. The linens were very clean and there were plenty of towels provided. The homeowner provided a jug of bottled water since the tap water was not potable. We were able to park on site. Negatives - It's a barn. The accommodations were situated in the second level of a barn attached to the main house. Although the main floor is an open plan, the entire residence was filled with an abundance of useless old stuff which created an atmosphere of clutter. The room does get good ventilation at night which alleviated our concerns about the lack of air conditioning. Plenty of fans were provided but they were filthy. Some were so dirty, they carried a musty/body odor smell. The bathroom is in the kitchen and has no ventilation so there is mold all over the shower area window. We did not have hot water the first night, perhaps because there were people in the main house. The upstairs is a loft. Plywood was laid down and there are area rugs to cover the main walkways. The loft would probably be suitable for one nice bedroom. Rather, it is divided into three areas/rooms and everything is crammed together. Because of the limited space in each area and the steep inclines of the ceilings it is difficult to take a couple steps in either direction without hitting your head. It's advertised as able to sleep six, but it would be a very tight fit for four adults. The accessibility to the lake is clearly the highlight of the property. Compared to the photographs, the beach is slightly overgrown with plants and a dead fallen tree. Most of the chairs provided on the beach need to be replaced because they are cracked and about to completely break apart. Even with the great views of the lake, the accommodations make this stay way overpriced.
