About this cottage rental

Step back in time at this classic Vermont summer cabin, built in 1906. The rustic wood clapboard interior remains largely untouched since its earliest days as a lakeside retreat.

Please note: this is a rustic Vermont cottage without insulation. While many guests find this charming and authentic, we want you to consider whether that suits your vacation plans before booking.

Camp "Bayside" offers:

- 2 bedrooms upstairs (one large room divided by a partition)
- A large, sandy private beach with a gentle slope into the water
- A wonderful screened-in porch, perfect for morning coffee and evening sunsets
- Free use of an aluminum fishing/rowboat, kayaks, and a paddleboard
- A swim raft with slide (a guaranteed hit with kids!)
- Basic TV channels
- WiFi internet
- Mooring available for your own small boat
- Gas BBQ grill, charcoal grill, and gas range
- A fire pit for evening s'mores under the stars

Please note: our cottage has always operated on a bring-your-own-linens-and-towels basis, given the quick turnover between renters. If you're flying in or otherwise unable to bring your own, just let us know at booking and we can provide linens for a small additional fee.

Beautiful location on the bay. Loved eating on the screened in porch watching the sunset. Easy access to wonderful drives along the lake. The host was very friendly and easy to communicate with. Very special family camp with history that was so interesting to learn about.

Great old family camp that was very relaxing with a fantastic location and great access to the bike path and Lake Champlain. The host was wonderful, kind, and very responsive! 100% recommend!

Wonderful quaint old cottage on the lake. Perfect amount of room for my husband and I. Beautiful view from the back screened in deck. Owner provided kayaks, paddle board and rowboat for our use. Enjoyed bonfires on the beach. Had extreme weather changes during our visit.. some hot 80 degree days mixed with rainy cool days with temperatures in the 50’s at night. Fans kept us cool in the heat and owner provided electric heater for cooler days. A short drive to Burlington, where you can walk Church Street and find great restaurants and shops. The Ben and Jerry factory and Shelburne museum were fun activities on our rainy days. Would definitely stay here again. Hopefully better weather with more time to enjoy the lake.
