We were absolutely thrilled with our stay at WhatAVu! The cottage offered a peaceful setting with lovely views of a nearby marina and the Vermont mountains. It was conveniently located—no more than a 20-minute drive to any point in Plattsburgh, including restaurants and local attractions.The cottage itself was very comfortable and well-equipped, with everything we needed, including reliable internet and a smart TV. We didn’t want for a thing.Our hostess was lovely and respectful of our privacy, staying out of sight but living next door, which felt reassuring.All in all, a wonderful stay on the beautiful shores of Lake Champlain.

Four of us stayed two nights very comfortably and experienced an amazing total solar eclipse. While that event was the focus of our stay we also enjoyed sitting on the lake shore listing to the birds and the rippling water. The view was equally amazing, with a clear day you see the lake and dozens of VT mountains. The location couldn't have been more perfect for the eclipse and is part of our photo's and memories.

My husband and I stayed at this wonderful cottage for a week in July 2023. The cottage was even better than what the pictures indicated; extremely clean and nicely furnished and decorated. The view of Lake Champlain and the mariner could not be beat. Hopefully we will get back next year. Thanks for letting us share your home. Pat and Roger

The cottage was just as advertised and Karen was always available and accommodating. Our pup was so happy and enjoyed the spacious side yard and laying on the deck and staring out on the water. Some days were very hot and it was wonderful to have the water to cool off in. Our kids loved kayaking and playing on the water. Thank you for sharing your property! Would love to return to this little gem :)
