John and Stephanie were great! Very accommodating to make our stay perfect and available to answer any questions. My favorite part was having coffee and creamer stocked for us! We will be visiting again.

Thank you Terry! It was a pleasure to meet you and we look forward to seeing you again.
This was exactly the relaxing cottage we needed. As we walked in we immediately noticed that it smelled fresh and clean. The owners provided everything we could imagine we might need from napkins to kayaks! It was a stress free time. We can't wait to go back.
Nice quiet area with small bay setting. Very enjoyable if you are looking to relax. Renters very accomodating. Hard water smells sulfury, but a small price to pay for what you get. Hoping to return next year!
This cottage vacation is both a good place to relax and at the same time there are so many active possibilities. We swam and skipped stones, watched wildlife and walked along the lake. There are 2 kayaks to use plus a little blue rowboat that children like. As well the area restaurants are varied for quick diner meals or a lovely evening out. This was our idea of a good summer break.
My son and I enjoyed our trip immensely. The proximity and tranquility of the lake is captivating!!! We spent many hours watching and listening to the life around us on that perfect little beach! Nice seclusion. The amenities provided were bountiful, the neighbors were very quiet and respectful, easy access to 87 made travel easy. Thank you so much John and Stephanie you have outdone yourselves! Also, the water was perfect! No odor :)

Hi Rodney. Thank you for choosing our summer camp and for your review. The property description clearly states there is no TV and no AC. However, there is internet so you can use your own devices and there are lots of floor and ceiling fans and great open windows for catching the breeze off the lake. Sorry to hear you had difficulty parking. We love having fishermen and women stay every year. Most love the long driveway and open yard to park boats on both sides of the house. We have had three boats stay without any issues with parking. We hope you enjoyed the fishing on beautiful Lake Champlain and hope you will return to the area in the future!
The location could hardly be more perfect! just across the road from the lake, the cool breezes made for pleasant relaxing on the deck as we enjoyed the beautiful views of the lake and the islands. the hosts allowed us to use two kayaks, which made it even more wonderful not having to rent our own.
The kitchen provided all we needed for cooking and there is even a grill though we did not use it. We also enjoyed relaxing by the firepit on the lake (though we did not use that either). It's a simply fantastic setting and perfect for enjoying the lake.
Some of the other reviews mention the odor in the water which we also noticed. The hosts provided some bottled water and we bought additional for drinking. No biggy.
The only real disappointment in the property was the beds. After sleeping one night on the queen bed my back was so sore it did not recover until after I returned home, and I had to sleep the rest of the week on the floor to avoid further injury and pain. I strongly urge the owners to consider replacing all of the mattresses as the full size mattresses in the larger bedroom weren't any better.
I love this location, and couldn't ask for nicer or more accommodating hosts. John and Stephanie are wonderful, and we thank them again for sharing their little slice of heaven with us. We love Camp Moonshine!
The Wests provided us with everything we needed for our stay. We were prefectly content to enjoy a good book by the beach or explore the beautiful Lake Champlain area. Gracious and considerate hosts.
Owners were next door and very helpful in explaining. Believe them about closing the windows if you go out. We went out for an hour, and on the way back a storm out of nowhere appeared. We were very greatfiul for the heads up. Thank you for the weekend on Lake Champlain.

So glad you enjoyed the weekend. Your kindness and assistance with our docks is greatly appreciated! Enjoy the rest of your summer.
This s a hidden gem location in a quiet calm cove on Lake Champlain. We enjoyed our stay and would recommend to anyone looking to be on the Lake and away from the bustle The host was accommodating and helpful while also respecting our space. The cabin is quaint and outfitted for pretty much anything. They also welcomed our dog which is a big plus. The decor and furnishings might be a bit dated but functional and comfortable. We had a great time.
Lovely property and great view of the lake. Stephanie and John have thought of everything and everything you might need is there. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and just wish it could have been longer.
A comfortable home on Land Champlain. Beautiful Sunrise.
We loved biking and hiking in the area at Point Au Rouche Paark which is just minutes away.
Our dog also enjoyed the trip.
Nice view of the lake from the front porch/living room. The only negative was the well water. The owners have done the best they can by including a water treatment system, but there is a strong sulphur from the water.
This was the perfect place to share quiet time away from the stresses of the world. The lake beckoned us every day, and the weather was phenomenal. Our hosts were wonderful.
