Vermont rustic camp

perfect for our family. We were in Vermont for a family reunion and it met our needs to house ourselves and our two daughters families which included 4 children. Lots to do for kids and the 12 year old loved the fishing. We were there for the 4th of July and had great view over the lake of many different firework shows. The host very responsive if needed. Alot of room for kids to be outside and safe as it is at the end of a one lane road.

We had a wonderful week at the cabin. Sean could not have been nicer - there was nothing we needed assistance with so I cannot comment on dealing with issues :). The location - between the lake and a cow pature - could not have been more beautiful and relaxing. We also enjoyed going into town and the other local activites.

Beautiful cabin with amazing sunsets!

We always try to find a place off the beaten path a bit, and this cabin was absolutely perfect! The cabin was exactly what we were looking for, and we couldn’t have had a better stay. The cabin is equipped with everything you need, and we enjoyed utilizing the kayaks, paddle boards, and floats. This is a great lakeside cabin for family fun! Sean, the host, is extremely responsive, and he checked in to make sure everything was ok! We would love to come back in the near future.

Rustic cabin

This cabin is very rustic as described in the listing. The lake was beautiful and the cabin is conveniently located close to Burlington, VT and Montreal. A couple of things could be improved. A dock and covered outside porch or deck. I would also recommend a window unit ac for the hot summer months.The owner was very responsive and available for any issues .

Family friendly fun

This is an old camp on a nice bay in Lake Champlain. Plenty of water toys for the kids, lots of bunk space for them. The room overlooking the water is really lovely! As it says in the listing, this is not a pristine rental property. The rustic log cabin element of it is pretty cool. Renovations have been ongoing and the house is a little unfinished in places or needing a bit of care. That said, we were very comfortable with four kids running around it and a dog. The location is private and quiet. The host was very responsive.

Long weekend

A very nice cozy cottage. The place has charm, but could use a few updates. The beds were comfortable and the home had everything you needed. The owner was very easy to work with and was available if you needed him. I would add that the home could use some updates, bathroom on the second floor, secured steps to the second floor and the house keeper should be more detailed as we had no shortage of cobwebs throughout the house. Though the hose had two bathrooms a second shower would of been helpful. Overall I would stay here again as I did enjoy my time there.

Response from VrboOwner on 8 Aug 2023
Thanks for staying with us, Michael, and for your feedback. Very sorry about the cobwebs. You were our first guest of 2019 and guess some were missed. I’ll be sure to go through the place thoroughly this week. Regarding the other comments - great ideas for sure, but apart from tearing it down and starting over, pretty much impossible to do. I think I covered the details in the listing but I’ll review and confirm everything is clearly stated. Thanks, again. UPDATE! I didn't think it was possible but figured out a way to put a small half bath upstairs and did just that. :0)

Great Sunsets

I had a great time at the Sunset Cabin with My Family. Sean was a great host and was there when i showed up early on Saturday and showed me around to let me know of all the amenities the cabin had. My family and i enjoyed the sunsets directly from the back room. It was plenty spacious enough for all 10 of us. Upstairs was spacious enough for all my kids and they had a great time being together upstairs. Stairs up questionable but i had no issues going up and down with the kids all week. Close to any store in St Albans but far enough away that it still felt like a retreat. All in all i would give the cabin a great get away experience and i can't wait to book again next year. Thank you Sean for lending us your cabin for a week!!!

A disappointment

Although there are some good things about this place, like the large lot right on the lake, the good fishing, the three bathrooms, the large sunny front room, and the responsive owner who came and did some extra cleaning when we asked him, I was over all disappointed. The place has suffered from significant neglect. Most of the outside wood steps are rotting, the patio furniture is dirty, the weeds are everywhere, and worst of all, the boat ramp has lots of loose stones and gravel so that it is dangerous. Two of us had falls there. Inside, though the bathrooms and linens were clean, the place had a musty smell and is in need of significant deep cleaning .

Response from VrboOwner on 8 Aug 2023
I’m sorry you had a negative experience. I’ve tried to make things very clear in the listing that this is a rustic cabin with imperfections. As one can see the rest of our guests have understood that so this is our first negative review. I will note that after the Judds left we did bring in professional cleaners. We also have a dehumidifier running (quietly) in the basement so there’s no health risk. There’s exposed log walls that are over 100 years old so it smells like an old cabin which many like. We are scheduling deck construction in Spring so we’ll have new stairs going to the lower level (current stairs are actually railroad ties). The furniture on the patio is mainly for decoration as we have numerous other furniture for the yard (maybe we’ll toss it). And I’m sorry you tripped on some stones on the boat ramp. Again, it’s a rustic cabin. As I noted in the listing, its not a sparkling condo or newer property. It’s not perfect but a nice sized property on the lake where you can relax, enjoy the sunsets, use the watercraft, etc.

Great location onnwater

Sean was an excellent host and prepped the house before our stay. It’s definitely rustic and an older lake house but we knew that with the listing and everything worked out great. We even got to use the fireplace which was nice for this fall visit. It’s right on the water and surrounded by farmland.

Beautiful Charming Lake house

This house was just as it is described in the listing. In person it is so much better. I loved the original log walls, it really added to the rustic charm of the house. The lake room is a great room for seeing the beautiful views of the lake. My children and I enjoyed kayaking on the lake. I very much enjoyed the serene views of the lake and farm land. This house is in a beautiful location and the perfect spot to unwind, relax and enjoy the outdoors.

What a Simplistic Beauty!

This place is exactly what I had in mind, in fact I told Sean & Marie after reading the reviews prior to booking it, I particularly liked the very few negative reviews of it not being glamorous or perfect! Simplistic beauty is the best description I could come up with! If you are looking for comfort, serenity, tranquility, and a place to rest your head after soaking in the beauty, this is the place! If you are looking for a mental escape from the noise, an escape from a busy schedule, or just a place to get lost in your thoughts, this is it folks! I brought prepared meals that I only had to warm up, a bottle of red, coffee, bottled water and it was perfect! I did not want to leave... which means I will be back. Thank you Sean & Maria for such a beautiful getaway! :-)

End of June 2021

Have never left a review before for anything. Not usually my thing. This time, though, I thought Sean deserved one. Things went smoothly, despite our share of logistical issues. He's pleasant, obviously cares, and you can trust him. Beautiful place. Easy to find, Easy to get in and out. Gorgeous sunsets. We particulalry liked the kayaking directly from the property, and the firepits at night. My brother, the cook, approved of the kitchen. And my senior mother got around well despite mobility issues. Space in the common rooms, and enough nooks for privacy when needed. On the other hand, it got pretty hot with no a/c in the downstairs bedrooms. And many bugs in windows -- but nothing unexpected. I certainly recommend the property and would return.

Rustic, Beautiful and Private Setting With Nice Amenities

From the cow pasture view in the front yard to the water/mountain view from the rear of the house, it would be hard to find a more beautiful and serene setting. The cottage is very private and quite rustic. Our children aged 6, 11, and 14 enjoyed playing ping pong in the lake room, using the multiple watercraft made available, fishing (even though they didn't catch anything), and looking at the cows. The water was a good depth and temperature for them to swim, but we did encounter some weed/algae growth that made swimming a little less appealing. Towards the end of our stay there was a cyanobacteria bloom which prevented swimming on those days and is something to keep an eye out for when visiting the Lake Champlain area. The cottage accommodated our family of 5 sufficiently and was "clean enough". It is very rustic (as advertised) so if you're looking for something sparkling and pristine, it probably isn't for you. There were a lot of spiders, cobwebs and dead bugs in the window sills. The owner was very responsive and quick to address our concerns about the spiders. It would be good if there were more frequent power washings and/or cleaning of the windows, though I imagine it's tough to battle bugs around a house that is literally 10 feet from a lake. While the setting was very private and quiet, it was a very short ride to the waterfront park in St. Albans. Burlington, Stowe, Smugglers Notch, and Bolton's Potholes were all easily accessible for daytrips. All in all we really enjoyed our stay, and the setting was perfect for relaxing by the firepit and watching the sunset over the water after each day's adventures.
