"From the electric heaters to cozy up on a chilly October night to having grilling utensils at our fingertips … the location features a beautiful sunset off the water… highly recommend!"

"I came with two friends. We were here to bike the Colchester Causeway and do some kayaking. We also visited the Ethan Allen homestead and spent time in Burlington shopping and dining. The house was in the perfect location and was just lovely. It was a mix of quaint eclectic and lake decor. The beds were very comfortable, there was a nice kitchen and dining area and a cosy living room. We were steps away from the dock and kayak launch so there was always the sound of water lapping the beach....

"The property I think is as described and the location by the causeway is pretty fantastic, that is the big draw. Being able to walk/ride out to the causeway is excellent. Little things though marred the experience for me. Tiny coffee machine that is a little broken (top falls off, often into cup as you pour) - very cheap and can only make 2 cups. No coffee filters provided. Toaster is tiny, cheap and a bit hard to use. There is no established path so you are just trotting about 50 yards across...

"The place is private, peaceful, clean and well maintained. Dave, the owner, even warned us of an approaching storm and advised us on how to protect screen porch furniture upholstery from getting wet, so communication was excellent, too. "

"All the week-end was beautiful , but if I come back, I will appreciate a path to the door because the grass was too long. Moreover, we saw many ants. Thanks and see you another time. Annie, Julie- Catherine and Jean- Martin"

"The house is really nice. Great full kitchen and nice bathroom. The view is great of the lake. Be aware most things close early around there and nothing is close (food, etc), so get groceries or plan ahead. Great place overall."

"Very enjoyable stay! Very clean, cozy, fabulous views! We loved snuggling on the couch with our Australian Labradoodle!"

"The property was very clean and well stocked with memorable lake and mountain views. We did some fishing, kayaking and traveled to Montréal, which was an hour away. Danny was a wonderful host and responded to all our requests right away. Highly recommend."

"Pleasant, quiet, easily accessible"

"Excellent time had by all. Josie is a top notch host."

"We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves despite bad weather all week. The property is as described. The view was lovely and we appreciated how quiet the neighborhood was. We cooked most of our meals. The kitchen was well-stocked in terms of dishes, cutlery, pots & pans. The only potential issue is that the stairs to the 2nd floor bedrooms are very steep, as others have noted, and our dog wasn’t able to climb them. Other than that, the place was very comfortable and it was great to get away."

"Wonderful stay, we really enjoyed our time by the lake. The kids had a lot of fun swimming and kayaking. Beautiful sunrise, it's a great place to relax and recharge."

"The camp was very clean and had everything we needed for our stay. As mentioned before, the sunsets are unbeatable!"

"4 in our family stayed for 5 nights. Very spacious with plenty of room for everyone. On the go everyday and the cabin with beautiful sunsets was wonderful to come home to. Thank you for sharing your cabin with us."

"A great little lake house with a wonderful view. Perfect for a weekend getaway"

"Upon entering the cottage, there’s a blanket in the living room that says “let’s stay here forever” and we seriously considered it! This place is well appointed, open floor plan, tastefully decorated, and was absolutely spotless when we arrived! Mike and Andrea are very attentive hosts, and have thought of everything to make you feel welcome and comfortable. The view of the lake was gorgeous. We had such an enjoyable and relaxing stay, and wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again!!"

"The property was beautiful and spacious. Wish there was more seating in living room. Paddle boards and kayak were fun. Did not receive code to check in until after arrival time so that was challenging. Water had a strong sulfur smell. Should let guests know prior to bring drinking water Overall a lovely place"

"Everything we needed was available, and even some nice bonus items. Great variety of kitchen and cooking supplies. Great items for kids, toys and books and activities. Great location, an easy, livable cottage."

"We stayed in this house because of it's close proximity to family during the holidays, but it ended up being such a great find that we hope to stay in again! The house uses space very well, the kitchen is spacious and I found everything I needed to do baking and cooking. We loved the room that looked out on the lake with big sliding doors. One thing to note is that one bedroom, with the King sized bed, is down in a refinished area of the basement, so it does require lots of up and down a steep...
