We had the most incredible stay at this charming Vermont property at the beginning of foliage season, and it truly exceeded our expectations! From the moment we arrived, we were blown away by the breathtaking views of the water and the peaceful, cozy atmosphere.

Wonderful view of the lake through one whole side of the house. Quiet and peaceful. House was accessible for my elderly father in all respects except for the shower which is a tub/shower combo. He had to skip showering but the rest of us enjoyed the incredible water pressure coming out of the shower head :)Lots of steps down to the beach but our young dog managed them well. Appreciated the gates on the deck so we were able to have our dog hang out there and not worry about him escaping down to the beach when weren’t looking.

Loved the deck with the beautiful sunsets. Enjoyed our stay. Unfortunately there is a bit of a drought and could not use the dock or mooring. To no one’s fault but mother nature. The one thing I would say is if you have a boat more than 21 feet (as we do). You would have an issue with the narrow roads & getting into the driveway. Had a bit of a snag with finding the road. But neighbors were very helpful. Great communication with owner, very helpful with any questions. Would def recommend.

Deck House

The Deck House was perfect for a long weekend visiting our daughter who attends UVM. We loved the beautiful views of the lake from the main living area. The kitchen had everything we needed. The beds were very comfortable. 1 1/2 bathrooms was great too. We hope to return.

Absolutely lovely!

This please was fantastic! We had a wonderful time staying here, it felt like a true vacation. The view of the water was picture perfect and being just steps away made it that much more luxurious. It had everything we needed and more! Great location to stores and downtown Burlington. Bedrooms were spacious enough and comfortable. Having so many fans was great, we all like a little white noise at night. Having use of kayaks and canoe was a plus, we used them daily! The house was tricky to find, maps did not take us directly to it and those roads were tricky to figure out, but once we arrived it was no problem! Thank you so much for sharing your home! Best VRBO we have stayed in yet!

A cozy stay

We spent Thanksgiving week at the Lake Champlain Deck House. The views were amazing, the house was warm and cozy, and given that we cooked for Thanksgiving, the kitchen was well stocked. We went on a ton of walks and it was close to a lot ! We will have to head back in the watmer weather.

Perfect location

We had a great stay at this beautiful cottage on a bluff overlooking Lake Champlain. Very safe and quiet neighborhood that was great for our toddler and dog and made a perfect base for exploring Burlington and the Green Mountains. House had everything we needed to cook nice meals and enjoy the lake.

Great fall stay

Stayed here with my mom, 3 year old son, and our 2 dogs for a few nights. It was absolutely perfect for my son. He had a blast with all of the toys in the loft area and running around with the dogs outside. Sunsets on the deck were incredible. Very cozy, family friendly house. Communication with the host was great too.
