About this property

Unique Family Rental on Lake Champlain, NY! "Life is Good"

The Lake Champlain House (LCH) is a "one of a kind", that comes with amenities that are just not matched/comparable, and can comfortably (3 king beds/2 Queen/2 Full beds with 3.5 baths) accommodate large families/groups up to fourteen (14) overnight guests in beds.

The LCH is available Year Round for weekly or daily rentals. You’ll love the “full-service” modern amenities and privacy of this rental property for its open spaces (waterfront Boat Shack/deck), and recently built large (12 x 14) outdoor covered cooking pavilion with both a grill for your burgers/steaks and dual burner outdoor stove for boiling lobsters/corn.

Invite the whole family to enjoy boating, swimming, fishing and just relaxing. You can enjoy sunrises over the Green Mountains of Vermont, breath taking views of Lake Champlain, sunsets over the Adirondacks, and evening campfires in the large family fire pit.

The Lake Champlain House or the 'Life is Good' house is located on the peninsula known as Point Au Fer, which is on New York's shore of Lake Champlain. It is an easy drive to Montreal, the Adirondacks/Lake Placid, and Burlington, Vermont.

The beautiful Lake Champlain House was newly constructed in 2008 with 100 feet of private shoreline and a private 70 foot dock. A large 20’ x 20’ deck with picnic tables, a covered cooking pavilion (gas grill and outdoor burners), a key west style Boat Shack/deck and large lawn area for kids to play games. Plenty of Adirondack chairs, and a large family fire pit (with fire wood) for everyone to fit around and enjoy nightly campfires.

In the water your family can enjoy a swim float, a mooring for your boat, or any of the boats provided: 6 sit on top kayaks, 2 canoes, and an aluminum row boat with oars.

Inside is a spacious kitchen/family room area with great views of the lake and mountains and a large fireplace. 4 bedrooms (can sleep up to 14 in real beds, see below) and a loft, 3 1/2 baths. All linens provided along with kitchen and bath towels. Central Air Conditioning so your family can sleep on those extremely hot, muggy summer nights.

The Champlain House will accommodate the following fourteen (14) guests:

· Master Bedroom 1- King Bed (sleeps 2)
· Master Bedroom 2- King Bed (sleeps 2)
· Guest Bedroom- King Bed(sleeps 2), with 2 Full Bunk Beds (sleeps 2)
· Fourth Bedroom- 2- Queen Bed (sleeps 4)
· Loft- sleeper chaIRS (sleeps 2)

(*Note – stairs to fourth bedroom and loft are steeper than normal)


FEES/QUOTES:

Standard fee quoted is for four (4) Guests: The rental rate/quote will be higher for larger groups. Therefore, a stay for 12 is going to be more than a stay of just 2 people. Similar to a hotel.

Additional Fees below may apply to any quote and are taxable
- Extra Guest(s) $37.50 per night per each guest (more than 4)
- Cleaning $250
- Pets (per each) $150 per stay

**MINIMUM RATES - PEAK SUMMER WEEKS (MID JUNE - AUGUST) GUESTS**
The 2024 peak summer weeks have a FIXED RATE of $5,500. This "minimum weekly rate" will apply for late peak June - August weeks . During all “other weeks” the fees are dependent on the total number of overnight guests. Unfortunately, the current VRBO fee quote system does not allow for fixed rates, and therefore may provide inaccurate initial quotes for peak summer weeks.

PET POLICY: Only acceptable Pets (dogs only) may be permitted and only with advance written (email) notice to the owner. Dogs must stay in the yard or be tied up. There is an additional $150 fee for any acceptable pet. Dogs must NOT be allowed on any furniture or beds and must be crated (if necessary) if left alone. Guest is responsible for cleaning all pet HAIR & WASTE and placing in garbage/bags during visit. Any pet WASTE or HAIR found on the property

Family Thanksgiving
Our family wanted to get together for Thanksgiving this year and our original plan fell apart early on. So I started to look for something else and found this wonderful house on Lake Champlain. Perfect location, perfect space, clean and well stocked in the kitchen. The weather was nice enough to embrace the beautiful lake and yard. Sunset was stunning as hundreds of snow geese gathered in the bay. I can't tell you how many times everyone mentioned the house and how much they loved their stay. It was very memorable to all of us. Also Tom was very easy to work with and takes good care of his lovely property.

Life is Good on Lake Champlain
We loved our week at this VRBO on Lake Champlain. The lake house has an open kitchen, dining, and living area that is perfect 2 families traveling together. The view of the lake was spectacular. There is ample amount of indoor and outdoor seating to gather and a number of kayaks, canoes… provided to explore the lake that has easy walk-in or dock access. This house was a home away from home that was truly relaxing. Loved it!

Excellent Stay
Once again, amazing stay! This our 3rd year renting what has to be one of the best VRBO's out there. There's a reason we keep coming back! The house has everything you could ever want or need, including an upgraded washer and dryer this year, and lake front access is like no other. Communication with Tom is easy. We look forward to booking again next year!

Beautiful spot on quiet Lake Champlain
We were a group of 8 older men in town for 4 nights. We prefer staying in a house with comfortable living room and well equipped kitchen over the choice of an average hotel 20 minutes away in Plattsburg. This home sits on a quiet peninsula on the northern reaches of Lake Champlain. It was windy and cold during our mid March stay but this must be a wonderful place to stay during warmer months. The house is well equipped with boats, dock, etc. but we did not make use of the. The kitchen was able to accommodate those in the group who love to cook and the dining table was plenty big enough for 8 men and food. Living room is comfortable and the fireplace works well, plenty of wood. Bedrooms vary in size, some adults would not like climbing into an upper bunk bed or using a folding sleep chair but our group was fine with the sleeping arrangements. 3 full bathrooms with showers and one half bathroom in the loft area. Plenty of parking including the driveway across the road for our 6 vehicles. We would definitely stay here again if the occasion arises, hopefully! The owner was easy to contact and prompt/accurate in his replies.
