It's a great, relaxing location to take a swim or launch on a kayak site seeing cruise along the beautiful shoreline. There is no dock (predominantly west winds) but the front yard offers plenty of space to park a boat and trailer. There are two public boat launches nearby (West Swanton Boat Access .2 miles and Tabor Point Boat Ramp 4.2 miles). In addition, the house is just steps from Hog Island Market where fishing equipment, bait, fishing license, ice, beer, wine, and groceries are all available. Campbell's Bay Campground (\~5mi) is also close by for Pontoon, Motor Boat, or Canoe rentals. West Swanton Orchard (1mi) is a great stop for apples, soft ice cream and souvenirs. Green Mountain Stables is directly across the road where visitors can watch the horses training or take riding lessons, and Missisquoi National Wildlife Refuge Visitor Center is also just one mile away. The house is centrally located within the best Pike, Bass and Walleye fishing grounds on the lake! For those who want a bit more adventure, the Canadian border is just 4 miles north. There is a nice small, waterfront town with several great restaurants called Venice en Quebec just across the border.

It was the perfect viewing spot - the lake is so peaceful and I loved that you can go right down to the beach from the deck. We got some incredible sunset views through the huge east-facing windows. Everything was super clean and well stocked -- there were enough dishes, pots, and pans to cook and bake, and the white noise machine was a big plus (we slept great!). We had a wonderful vacation here and would definitely stay again. ##### Alexandra G.

The kitchen is well appointed, with good quality dishes, cookware, coffee and spices. The patio overlooking the lake is perfect for meals, or just hanging out. Watching the sun set over the water became nightly ritual. Missisquo wildlife refuge is 5 minutes away-nice trails, especially the Black Creek one. (Bug spray is at the house) St. Albans is 15 minutes away, with a few great restaurants, diners, interesting bakeries and shops. And the islands are nice to explore. Bring swimming shoes or sandals- the little beach at the house is flinty. Nice to swim from. Josie is a great host. Highly recommend. ##### Beth R. Stayed 5 nights in May 2024 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Karen K. 6 Aug 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great Family Getaway The house was just right for our family of 4 with the teenagers staying in the loft for a week-long relaxing getaway. Vermont has been pummeled by rain, affecting the level of the lake everywhere, so unfortunately the beach was hard to access, but not impossible. Kayaks were great, and paddles/vests was easily accessible. The owner was easy to reach. In fact at one point a smoke detector was beeping low battery and she came by to replace it within about 15 minutes! We enjoyed restaurants in St. Albans, Burlington, a bakery/cafe in Alburgh and even Shaggy's snack shack in Swanton. The pizza shop in Swanton is also quite good. Sand Bar and Alburgh Dunes state parks were great swimming spots. Next time we would love to venture over the border into Montreal. ##### Karen K.
