Perfect place! Perfect location! We had the best time at the cottage! it was clean and had everything you could need for a great week on the lake! We will be back for sure.
The cabin was very nice but not completely finished. Will be perfect when done. It was very quiet, beautiful and peaceful. St Albans was a cute town with a variety of restaurants.
Just a wonderful place to relax and decompress. Major stores not even 10 minutes away on route 7. The sunrises and sunsets were amazing and the fishing right of the dock was fantastic.

So glad you could enjoy the beauty of the cottage, the lake and decompress! Come back soon! Tonja
Serene and quiet area, private lot, kayaks and life jackets easily accessible, and excellent communication with host, did not realize the open/no ceilings in bedrooms, all pots/pans/plates/utensils we needed were at the rental, quite a lot of cob webs/dust (but expected some for a lake house), the BEST sunrise lake view we have seen, easy check out
The title says it all - this was a great little cottage for our long weekend on Champlain!Anyone bringing a boat - there is great dock with electric available. Thanks for sharing your place with us!
The cottage was very cozy and well kept. It has a beautiful screened porch that we read, ate, and played games. It is directly on the lake with a beautiful view. We took out the kayaks and swam. There is a very nice state park and beach in the town. Plus a Hannafords. We had a wonderful time. The host is very nice and responsive.
Great Lake house and wonderful set up. Clean and had all the amenities that were listed. Property manger was so nice and very quick with responding to questions. This is one saved in the books when we come back to VT.
The cabin, detached additional bedroom, and grounds were immaculate. We prepared several meals and barbequed over the weekend. The kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed.The host was most gracious and helpful. Our only regret was not having another few days to enjoy Vermont and this waterfront paradise! The family has already discussed returning next year!
Relaxing. Peaceful. Wonderful setting on the lake. House(camp) was great. The little bunkhouse was adorable and can see a place for kids enjoying it! And the fishing was good. .
We had a wonderful stay at this lake house. The propery was true to the VRBO online description and was very clean, with easy access when we arrived. The "neighborhood" was quiet with easy travel to get groceries or meals out. The host was terrific. Tonja was very responsive to our questions and left us a wonderful Vermont-esque treat upon our arrival. We highly recommend this spot for a quiet getaway in northern VT. Thanks, Tonja!

Fun place to stay
Was disappointed to find out that the 3rd bedroom and bath were located outside in a different building
Spent a weekend at this lovely little cottage. We were able to go kayaking right out our back door. We also brought our dogs who really enjoyed themselves as well. Thanks for being a wonderful host Tonja!
This trip was just what I was looking for, a get away to relax I was looking for a cabin on the water with a fire pit and grill, this had all of this and then more. We did not want to leave the peace and quiet, I had my coffee on the porch overlooking the water every morning. We hope to go back soon.
We stayed for a week in the fall. The cottage has nice interior updates. The property is well equipped for relaxing and access to the water with a beautiful view. Communication with the host was quick and easy. Thanks.
The time spent at this cottage was just what we hoped for including a beautiful lake view and peaceful screened porch, which was perfect for morning coffee and anytime relaxing. The cottage was clean, comfortable and had all the amenities we needed. The kayaks, canoe, and corn hole were nice extras! The host was quick to respond to a message and very pleasant. We would definitely return to stay again in the future!

About the host
Hosted by Tonja Curtis Danowski
I grew up in Vermont and spent summers on Lake Champlain with family and friends. The pristine water is enjoyable all summer long - for swimming, kayaking, sailing or fishing combined with gorgeous sunrises over Vermont Green Mountains or sunsets over the Adirondacks!
Why they chose this property
The cottage is located at the far end of the peninsula with minimal traffic but easy access to the town of St. Albans
What makes this property unique
I wanted a lovely lake front property to enjoy with my family but be able to proudly rent for those who want to enjoy some peaceful time on the Lake.
The cottage sits on a nice sized piece of waterfront property that offers privacy but also lovely neighbors! No road noise! Just the sounds of water lapping the shore and wonderful dock to swim from, fish from, enjoy a morning cup of coffee or an evening underneath the stars. Grill dinner and eat outside. Build a bonfire and roast marsh mellows! Sip a glass of wine... just relax!
