About this cottage rental
The Best and Closest View of Lake Champlain hands down, no question. It doesn't matter if you are cooking breakfast inside or grilling on the deck during happy hour, you will feel like you're on the flybridge of a boat because all you see is water. Seagulls glide by at eye level as you secretly watch all the action on the broad lake. Weather fronts are easily spotted coming through the Adirondack Mountains across the lake 11 miles away. Boaters and fisherman can check the lake while your still in bed, others can enjoy the beach, ending with sunsets on the deck and a fire in the sand (Lake water is clean with sandy bottom, no weeds). This is not a big cottage but the view is breathtaking. A king bed in one room and built-in bunk bed in a tiny bunk room. Private stairs go down to the water. 1/3 mile to bike path/causeway, 1 mile to park, 2 miles to river boat launch and 3 miles to Bay launch, 7 miles to downtown Burlington. Grocery, pizza, ice cream, 4 miles. Check your stress at the door and enjoy a secluded piece of paradise with a 270 degree view of the Lake and sunsets behind the Adirondack Mountains. Very clean, just remodeled with VT pine and huge sheets of glass so your view is Crystal Clear no matter what the weather. (Lightening Storms- if your lucky) Linens, towels, coffee maker, ice, microwave, tv/internet, washer-dryer, air conditioning and silverware supplied.

It was perfect. I wish it were close to where I live so I could go back again. The only problem we had was finding it in the dark because it is in a neighborhood; but so secluded. The Owner responded to our call immediately.

Perfect camp with an amazing view that needs to be seen to be appreciated. Convenient to Burlington. Host is very responsive and accommodating. We can't wait to come back!

We loved the location in Colchester right on the lake, just a short drive to many restaurants & breweries in Burlington. Kayaks & bikes for our 4 family members was very appreciated and convenient. With that said, a huge selling point for this property was the steps onto the beach shown in the listing. We arrived to find it had been completely washed away by the flooding & high water levels that persisted this past summer. The water was above the bottom of the stairs and when the water was clear we could see all the sand has been washed away. While we’re very understanding this is not the fault of the property owner, we were given no prior notice & when I reached out to ask about it, the reply was “the property is exactly as listed” which was a disappointing start to our vacation. Fortunately there was a very small pebble beach (with lots of branches/debris) on the other side of the house that we could use to launch the kayaks. The location and views of the lake are phenomenal!!! The home itself is well maintained, comfortable, and clean. At least until several days into our stay when we saw & heard mice in the kitchen & their droppings on the counter near the sink. This happens in homes & we weren’t extremely squeamish about it, but when we kindly pointed it out to the homeowner in a private message at the end of our stay, primarily for the sake of future guests, we received no response at all. The lack of timely & courteous communication overall was disappointing.
