Reviews

• 3/5

  It was a nice cabin and we enjoyed our stay, didn't get to spend time by or on the lake, will have to back in the summer some year.

  We had a great getaway weekend at the cottage. The only dissappointment was the lake access and "beach" which was not really swimable at all. The water was very mucky and still and fill of reeds for a while so we did not spent time in the water as we expected to. We still had a great time, but would have preferred to be able to have better lake access for swimming.

  Manager's Response:

  From the Owner: "Thank you for your feedback. We’re glad to hear you enjoyed your overall stay. Lake Champlain’s water levels can vary from year to year, as there is no regulating authority controlling them. The levels depend entirely on winter snowpack and summer rainfall. This summer has been the driest in Vermont in decades, and the lake is currently at its lowest point in 75 years due to the unusual lack of rainfall. Typically, August levels are more than a foot higher, which helps with shoreline access and reeds. Earlier this year, water levels were actually above normal in June, so these record lows were difficult to predict."

• Not as clean as I was expecting

  4/5

  Generally fine, well stocked kitchen, loved having a dishwasher. House had a funky smell that didn't go away. Yard was untidy, and porch and doorways were not very clean. I expected more for the money I paid. Area was beautiful. Lake was very low (no one's fault), but it meant we couldn't use any of the boats or access the water, which was disappointing.

  Overall everything was fine.The waterfront was very weedy during our stay, but everything else was great.
