Vues à couper le souffle au bord du lac, confortable éclairé par une étoile, rempli de livres

This is a traditional, rustic lake cottage and a throwback to a softer time. Most of my time was spent on the large deck overlooking the lake, enjoying the 180 degree view. It's partially covered, so you can sit on it in the rain. The sunsets provide a 2-hour constantly changing canvas of color and shapes. The inside of the cottage is open, light and airy with big windows, comfortable seating and beds. and all kinds of artwork, antiques and books. This is a great place to stay no matter the weather or your mood. It's the perfect tranquil spot if you're looking to unwind or have a romantic getaway. Adding to the enjoyment of your stay is Laurel, the host. She is one of the most interesting people you will ever meet -- very bright, quirky, funny, and kind. She's an artist and former professional singer/performer who has put a lot of artistic touches and time, effort and care into making the cottage and its environment a beautiful and magical respite.

This little cottage was a little piece of paradise. The exact kind of place we needed for our honeymoon. This place has character, funky art, vintage furniture, and books. This place is secluded and peaceful with magical sunsets.

We had the honor to meet Laurel the owner and have dinner with her. She is very sweet, very real and just a lovely human. We could sit and chat with her for hours. She was of no bother at all. Gave us our space. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook our meals. The grill had broke the day before we arrived. She immediately went out and purchased a new one. The lake held a greatness about it. Good fishing right from the shore. A rare visit from a Great Blue Heron. Pictures of a teenage eagle. And sunsets beyond words. All memories that will remain with us. We will definitely return!

This is a lovely cottage in a wonderful location. It was a relaxing retreat from real life, and it was close enough to a variety of things to do to keep a girl and her dog busy.

This was our first visit to Lake Champlain and our first time using VRBO. We couldn't be happier with the whole experience.

The cabin was clean, inviting and decorated in a fun and creative way. The view over the lake was exactly what we were looking for and we spent long hours on the deck enjoying quiet mornings and spectacular sunsets.

We were in the lake every day swimming, tubing, kayaking, and canoeing. Our dog (a large Bernese Mountain Dog) felt right at home and, while not a big swimmer, paddled around happily in the shallows while we were in the water. A couple of evenings we built a bonfire on the shore and made s'mores - a big favorite with the kids.

We spent a lot of time reading, drawing, and playing cards and board games. We visited the nearby store (15 mins drive) a few times for supplies and drove to Middlebury (30 mins) for takeout, coffee, and browsing the excellent, dog-friendly bookstore (a big surprise!).

We did two side trips - one to Fort Ticonderoga (excellent) and another to Six Flags (for the kids) and Lake George (for the dog).

Laurel was an excellent host: welcoming, helpful, but not at all intrusive.

We thoroughly recommend this cabin for anyone looking for a real lakeside getaway.

My wife and I spent a half-work, half-vacation week in the cottage, and it met all of our needs. WiFi was great for web conferences, and AT&T and Verizon cell service strong. The lake view is fantastic. Laurel is a great hostess. I recommend this place to anyone looking for a quiet lakeside camp.
