Fabulous place. Very calm and quiet, right on the shores of Lake Champlain. Very comfortable and spacious indoors with excellent outdoor amenities. We have stayed at numerous vacation homes over many years. Debbie is, by far, the most gracious, engaging, and delightful host we have ever had…so welcoming. A wonderful place to stay—we would love to return!
We had a great time at Debbie's guest house. It's right by the lake Champlain. We loved watching the sunset from the garden swingset. Would love to visit again
Debbie Malmos is, hands down, the best hostess on VRBO. She requires so little of renters and her generosity is extraordinary. The guest house is impeccably clean, well laid out, and so, so comfortable. There were just two of us and we enjoyed every minute. Be sure to try out the swing near the lake. (I did, with my book, a cup of tea, and a throw blanket.) It's just so peaceful. Also, it faces west and it's a great spot for watching the sun set. We had a wonderful time and already have dates picked out for next year. We will enjoy a much longer stay! Thanks so much, Debbie!
AMAZING hosts! Debbie & Mark are beyond generous & kind, and we are so grateful they shared their wonderful guest home for our weekend on the east coast.
Perfect spot for relaxing, taking in the beauty and magic of Vermont, Lake Champlain and endless green farmlands. We enjoyed all in spite of fog, rain and spotty sun! Would love to enjoy the perfect layout, comfort and prestine condition of the lodging! Simply marvelous...Thank you!
Debbie went above and beyond to make our stay great. The house was clean, comfortable, and well equipped. Beautifully situated on a point over looking Lake Champlain.
I would like to live there, I already mentioned that to the owners, best place to stay!!!! I will be staying there for all the times I go to Vermont.....
the hostess barbra was fantastic. the whole stay from beginning to end was perfect i couldn’t ask for any better i diffinitly will be coming back i have stayed at a lot of places this place was by far the best
Debbie was there to greet us, show us around the property and grounds. The kitchen was well stocked, and the hosts provided some great snacks, fruit, butter, eggs and bacon! Even a coffee cake! The Guest House is on an amazing site, with Lake Champlain on three sides, and many beautiful trees. The house was immaculate and well provided with linens and towels. Debbie and Mark are lovely hosts, very responsive, but not at all intrusive. They went above and beyond what one might expect.Great wifi and tv reception too!Vergennes and Middlebury are 25-30 minutes away, with good shopping and restaurants. We highly recommend the Guest House!
We have stayed here before. Relaxing, peaceful setting overlooking Lake Champlain. The owner is very accommodating. The cottage is clean, comfortable and inviting. The surrounding Vermont countryside is beautiful. Accommodations great! We will be back again next year!
THE most thoughtful hosts ever. Beautiful setting on the shores of Lake Champlain. Everything and more that you’ll need for a great stay. We would happily return!
We thiroughly enjoyed our stay. Deb and Mark were welcoming toward us. Deb provided us with all the necessary amenities and dome doecisl treats. The views are amazing and the cottage was so comfy!!
Debbie and Mark were amazing. Debbie was in such great communication, was incredibly helpful, and completely accommodating. My son and I visit family in the area every year and I will never stay anywhere else. Not only did they stock the house with everything we needed (and some yummy surprises), but Debbie went out of her way to find some games and toys for my son. The property is lovely and the views breathtaking. Everyday we saw beautiful animals - bald eagles, bunnies, a deer and the adorable resident groundhog. If you’re looking for relaxation and tranquility close to excellent cultural and nature activities, this is the place! We can’t wait to return next summer!
Debbie was a great host. She greeted us on our arrival and had generously stocked us with groceries and a yummy homemade coffee cake. The cute little place was spacious and cozy with a beautiful outdoor space with the view of the lake. It was a great location to our daughter’s house in Middlebury, her wedding venue in Bridport and to Basin Harbor for the rehearsal dinner. We were extremely pleased with our stay.
