About this house rental

The Lake Champlain House (LCH) is a "one of a kind", that comes with amenities that are just not matched/comparable, and can comfortably (3 king beds/2 Queen/2 Full beds with 3.5 baths) accommodate large families/groups up to fourteen (14) overnight guests in beds.

The LCH is available Year Round for weekly or daily rentals. You’ll love the “full-service” modern amenities and privacy of this rental property for its open spaces (waterfront Boat Shack/deck), and recently built large (12 x 14) outdoor covered cooking pavilion with both a grill for your burgers/steaks and dual burner outdoor stove for boiling lobsters/corn.

Invite the whole family to enjoy boating, swimming, fishing and just relaxing. You can enjoy sunrises over the Green Mountains of Vermont, breath taking views of Lake Champlain, sunsets over the Adirondacks, and evening campfires in the large family fire pit.

The Lake Champlain House or the 'Life is Good' house is located on the peninsula known as Point Au Fer, which is on New York's shore of Lake Champlain. It is an easy drive to Montreal, the Adirondacks/Lake Placid, and Burlington, Vermont.

The beautiful Lake Champlain House was newly constructed in 2008 with 100 feet of private shoreline and a private 70 foot dock. A large 20’ x 20’ deck with picnic tables, a covered cooking pavilion (gas grill and outdoor burners), a key west style Boat Shack/deck and large lawn area for kids to play games. Plenty of Adirondack chairs, and a large family fire pit (with fire wood) for everyone to fit around and enjoy nightly campfires.

In the water your family can enjoy a swim float, a mooring for your boat, or any of the boats provided: 6 sit on top kayaks, 2 canoes, and an aluminum row boat with oars.

Inside is a spacious kitchen/family room area with great views of the lake and mountains and a large fireplace. 4 bedrooms (can sleep up to 14 in real beds, see below) and a loft, 3 1/2 baths. All linens provided along with kitchen and bath towels. Central Air Conditioning so your family can sleep on those extremely hot, muggy summer nights.

The Champlain House will accommodate the following fourteen (14) guests:

· Master Bedroom 1- King Bed (sleeps 2)
· Master Bedroom 2- King Bed (sleeps 2)
· Guest Bedroom- King Bed(sleeps 2), with 2 Full Bunk Beds (sleeps 2)

(*Note – stairs to fourth bedroom and loft are steeper than normal)

Wow! This home and the property are amazing! The amenities are top notch. We stayed a week at this home. Beautiful inside and out. Clean and comfortable. Homeowners Tom and Karen were terrific to deal with. They were friendly and were quick to respond with questions. The backyard was awesome. Kayaks are there and it was so awesome to walk out the back door and get a kayak and go on the water. The dock was nice and we enjoyed watching the sunsets (they were phenomenal). The grill area was terrific as well. Covered which is always a bonus. The kitchen has everything you may need to cook at the house. The dining table was huge. We didn't get to use the fire pit as it was too windy most evenings. There is a fireplace inside and we didn't get to use that either as it was too warm while we were there however I can see where it would be terrific for a cold fall or winter evening. This home was convenient to where we wanted to go and see however it was nice to just stay there given everything there was to do. We would definitely love to come back at some point.

Our family of ten were extremely comfortable in this spacious well-kept home.We especially appreciated the abundance and variety of boats, allowing us to spend wonderful family time on the lake together.

Staying here has become a family tradition! This rental continues to be one of the best VRBO's we've stayed in. Everything you could possibly need or want is at the house. And the views and access directly to the lake are unparalleled. Communication with Tom is simple and easy. We can't say enough about the rental and we'll be back!
