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.

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!

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!

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.

About the host

Hosted by Tonja Curtis Danowski

Host profile image

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!
