Good for couples, bikers/boaters, families w/ up to 1 child. 1 bathroom with shower; cozy and bright.
Charcoal grill, kitchen, and Adirondack chairs, WiFi, stereo, A/C!

This home is managed by Islands Only Vacation Rentals, plus a homeowners association head who takes care of all the water, dock and exterior maintenance.
- Park on right side of driveway next to the deck, or behind the pine trees on the grass.
- Don't open the shed.
- Follow all heating/cooling guidelines
- Dogs only, and must be leashed on designated properties (including the cottage association and beach)
- The plastic chairs are susceptible to wind of the lake, always stack them tucked in the corner of the deck overnight or if you're away all day.

Great little hideaway!
Very comfortable cottage with plenty of amenities. Check in was easy, and while we stayed in the fall, as leaves were starting to change (beautiful!), I'm sure it's a popular area in the summertime. Alburgh is a nice small town, great breakfast spot (the Bakehouse). We very much enjoyed our stay here, and would recommend it!

Not as described
First of all it was not a school house. Secondly it was across the street from the lake and not easily accessible. I could not get down the stairs. There was a storm on the last Friday night we were there. We lost all power no water no cooking. We checked out the following Saturday morning as it was unbearable to stay with those conditions

Spring visit
Nice quiet, small house for a short stay. Very clean and well equipped. Great view of the lake. We enjoyed watching the birds and the ducks in the area.

Long weekend away at Lake Champlain
My partner and I stayed at the Alburgh Schoolhouse for a long weekend away at Lake Champlain. It was just what we needed. A cozy relaxing stay. The accommodations were perfect for two people! Just the right size. Extremely clean and bright with beautiful furniture made by the owner’s father-in-law. We could see the lake as we ate our meals. There was lots to do in the area. We will definitely be back! Thank you for a wonderful stay!
