About this house rental
Come relax with a beautiful view overlooking Lake Champlain and the Adirondack Mountains. Enjoy your own bonfire on the beach or dinner on the deck overlooking the water.
If you’re looking for a quiet family getaway, this is the place for you and your family! The property is tucked away in Port Douglas, New York, conveniently located 25 minutes from Plattsburgh, New York, an hour from Lake Placid and Whiteface Mountain, and across the lake from Burlington, Vermont, with ferry access close by.
There is plenty nearby, too. Enjoy hiking in the Adirondack high peaks with options for all levels of experience, local breweries and wineries, and hiking and rafting at the famous Ausable Chasm. Or simply relax at the house, kayak around the lake, and enjoy the views.
I am a superhost on Airbnb but new to VRBO! I am excited to share my longtime family camp with you and your family to experience Lake Champlain and the Adirondacks.

Overall, very much enjoyed our stay 10/3-10/6. Property was clean and decorated nicely. Host was VERY available via text or email/message but overall had little we needed during our stay. The view from the deck was a primary reason for renting and it did not disappoint! We enjoyed relaxing outside listening to nature each morning and evening. Good water pressure with plenty of hot water and a nice shower head. Pleasantly surprised to find very few bugs outside given the remote locale! Appeared to be lots of in house entertainment with board games and DVDs available.
It boils down to-would I stay again if ever in the area? Yes, depending on my needs.
That said, as other reviews mention, a few things to be aware of....
No street lights outside=very dark! Yay!!! But... bring a flashlight or 2.
Believe the master bed to be a full size, not queen. Both full beds have footboards-so may be a challenge for the taller population.
It's not listed, and I truly missed it, I just assumed, but no microwave is available. Factor this in for food prep and food reheating.
The train, yes the host pointedly advised us an amtrak comes by sporadically and gave us the option of canceling. I scoped out the amtrak schedule for that line and figured no problem.... but it's freight trains too. Various times....3am, 4am, 5am on thru 9am a few a day on average during our stay. They do sound the horn at a local crossing but the wheels screeching is what continues for a few minutes. As adults

Pros: Really nice well-kept place with everything you need, great deck overlooking the lake, lots to do in the area. Con: Freight train noise at night. The train tracks are located right behind the property. During our stay (9/15/24 – 9/22/24), one or more freight trains (not Amtrak) came by every night in the wee hours (on the two nights that I checked, 4:30 AM and 3:30 AM). If you’ve ever stood close to a train track when a large train goes by, you know how loud it is. The weather was warm so we didn’t close the two bedroom windows though I doubt it would have helped much. So, depending on your sleep requirements/rhythms, you may want to take this into account. I tried to get more information about these trains from the owner since it would affect my decision to return but he didn’t have any other than it seemed “irregular”.

This home was just what we needed! Spotless clean, well appointed, the host was wonderful. The view of the lake is breathtaking night and day. Easy to get to, and the driveway was not an issue for us at all. Highly recommend this home!
