Charming 3-bedroom lakefront house with large yard and sandy beach

Please note as of November 2024, we are personally hosting and managing our home (after several years of hosting through a property management company). Our goal is to provide the best experience for our guests through clear communications, personal service, and a well-maintained property. We have addressed the maintenance concerns noted by previous guests and improved our cleaning regimen. We look forward to hosting you on the shores of Lake Champlain!

Spend quality time with the ones you love in this home's cozy, cabin-like interior with amazing lake views. Full of rustic accents, including comfortable furnishings, new mattresses in 2023, exposed beam ceilings, and knotty pine walls, the interior provides the perfect refuge needed for relaxation at the end of an activity-filled day. Relax in front of the (electric) fireplace or stream your favorite shows on the flat screen smart TV.

Outside you’ll find a lovely patio and lawn, sweeping waterfront views, and direct access to Thayer Beach on Lake Champlain for sunbathing and swimming. Several beach chairs are available to stick in the sand. With few distractions in a peaceful rural setting, the quaint lakefront living at this home will win over your heart.

Besides the lake, you are 20 minutes from the University of Vermont and downtown Burlington with shopping, restaurants, microbreweries, waterfront, farmer’s market, and lots of activities for the whole family! You’ll be a short trip from the 584-acre Niquette Bay State Park, Ben & Jerry’s ice cream factory, or the scenic town of Stowe. There are several ski resorts within an hours drive including Stowe, Sugarbush, Smuggler’s Notch, Bolton Valley, and Cochran’s ski area.

Back inside, the kitchen is stocked with pots, pans, and plenty of other cookware, standard appliances for quick and easy meal prep, and ample seating indoors and/or outdoors for your whole group. There is a washer and dryer in the cellar (with laundry pods provided) so you can pack light. The house has WiFi throughout so you can stay connected while enjoying your stay.

Immerse yourself in the beauty of Lake Champlain and find numerous adventures steps away from this waterfront vacation home. Book it today!

Beautiful view - on Lake Champlain
Had the amenities we were looking for. Plenty of seating for several guests. A suggestion- add a few end tables between a few chairs. Also, have a few throws available for chilly nights. Overall, we enjoyed our stay. Very quiet and peaceful

The view and location are amazing
View of the lake was gorgeous. Condition of the home was not good. It needs a deep clean and refresh. We appreciate rustic but cobwebs, dust and crumbs along with broken window shades not our idea of acceptable.

Vermont Brewery Tour 2024
The property was excellent, of course...on the water, facing west, very quiet, immaculate neighborhood. Bit of an old, musty smell - like an old camp. Did not bother us but it was there. Very easy directions and instructions for use of the property. Uber was easy picking up and dropping off. Towels and linens were very clean. Thank you for a great stay.

1st visit to Vermont
Came up from TX to visit family that recently moved to Burlington and found this cozy place for four adults. This was PERFECT for our ~1week stay and was just 10-15 minutes from all the action around Church St in Burlington. VERY quiet and secluded neighborhood right on the lake at a very affordable price :).
