About this property

Designer Lake Champlain Retreat with Adirondack Views & Private Waterfront

The View at Ryan is where everything else quiets down and the lake welcomes you home. This beautifully curated three-level lakehouse on Lake Champlain has been designed from the inside out by a professional Interior Stylist — every corner thoughtfully considered so you can simply arrive and be present.
The home sleeps families and groups comfortably across four bedrooms — a king master suite with a Romeo & Juliet balcony, a bunk room perfect for kids, and two lower-level queen rooms, one with French Doors opening directly to the lake. Three full bathrooms, radiant floor heating, Bosch Split level AC on main and upper floor, and a fully outfitted kitchen. This means every season is a good season here!
Step outside and the lake is right there waiting. Kayaks, canoes, paddleboards, a fire pit, and a coal smoker are all yours to enjoy. Yoga mats and weights are on hand for lakeside fitness, and the back yard is the perfect place to do absolutely nothing — beautifully.
Guests are welcomed with a curated Aroma Home gift package of non-toxic, essential oil-based products. Adventure is minutes away — Ausable Chasm, Adirondack High Peaks, Whiteface Mountain, and the Essex-Charlotte Ferry to Vermont are all close by. Local dining gems are a short drive away.
Come make your family's tradition here. We'll see you at the water.

We had a wonderful time. We loved the view and the lake access. We found the house to be very clean, comfortable and well-appointed. The hosts are quite attentive, friendly, and eager to make sure their guests have a great vacation. It was a wonderful place for our family of five’s retreat (but would also have comfortably accommodated more than five).

This was a beautiful property with an unforgettable view. The layout was fun and inviting and fit our entire family comfortably. There were more than enough activities to keep us all entertained and many chill-out/relaxation zones. The kitchen was a bit tight for our multiple chefs and the waterfront access was a little tricky for my elderly/wobbly parents. My teen and school-aged kids LOVED it all. Beds were comfortable, bathrooms and showers great, and again... THAT VIEW!!!! The host was kind, generous and accommodating.

We had an amazing time and will definitely be back!

The house was everything we wanted- a place for our family to enjoy kayaking, swimming, hiking, exploring and just being together to play games, cook meals, read and relax. The views from the house are beautiful and you really do not need to leave the deck, but if you do there is plenty to do around the area.

Loved the neighborhood and location!! Had some nice walks. We spent lots of time on the big deck, enjoying the incredible view of the lake. We are foodies, so the kitchen was a bit small for us who like to cook, but had great appliances and was well stocked with staples. We also enjoyed the fire pit in the yard d!

About the host

Hosted by Chiara Farcher

Host profile image
We are a family who fell so deeply in love with lake life that we stayed. The View at Ryan began as a dream shared between best friends on yearly lake vacations with our young kids — and it became something even more meaningful than we imagined. We have laughed here, healed here, and made memories that will carry our family for a lifetime. I am also a professional Interior Stylist and Event Planner by trade, so every detail of this home has been curated with real intention — not just for beauty, but for the kind of ease that lets you actually exhale the moment you walk in. We are so glad you found us. Come on in and enjoy the view.

Why they chose this property

Willsboro, New York sits right on the edge of Lake Champlain with the Adirondacks as your backdrop — and once you see it, you will understand why we never looked away. It is the kind of place where the pace slows down the moment you arrive. Local restaurants are a few minutes away, Ausable Chasm and the Adirondack High Peaks are close enough for a day adventure, and Vermont is a scenic ferry ride across the lake. But honestly? Most days you will not want to leave the property. That view has a way of keeping you right where you are.

What makes this property unique

The View at Ryan is not just a rental — it is a fully designed lakeside experience. Every room has been styled by a professional Interior Stylist with the lens of beauty, ease, and true lakeside living. The home is cleaned exclusively with non-toxic essential oil products from my own company, Aroma Home, and every guest is welcomed with a curated gift package on arrival. We offer kayaks, canoes, paddleboards, yoga mats, and a coal BBQ smoker — plus personally vetted local guides and experiences for guests who want to explore the lake and the mountains beyond. Two distinct living levels make it ideal for families sharing the space. This is where your family's tradition begins.
