The Golden Eagle cabin was perfect for our family of five. Very clean and well-stocked. A/C throughout the cottage, which was great as it was hot and humid during our stay. Hosts were helpful upon arrival and very communicative leading up to and throughout our stay. My children had so much fun catching fish from the shore, including some huge catfish! Mike kept us stocked with worms and bobbers so the kids could fish nonstop! We brought our boat and was able to keep it at the dock, which was convenient.

We had a great stay at Watch Point! The cottage was lovely and clean. A lot a space and fit our group of 6 comfortably. Stocked kitchen for cooking meals. Board games to play and Tv in the living room and bedrooms. The lake was nice and not too chilly. We were taken out on the lake by Tom in his boat so we could go tubing which was a blast!!! The best part was getting to know Ardie and Mike who are the hosts. So nice to talk to and informative about the lake and area of Vermont. We are lookikg forward to returning again and again.

Secluded spot

This is a very private secluded spot on a beautiful lake, but still close to plenty of activities. The owners were very helpful and the catering was delicious. We brought our boat and we’re able to dock right on property. We had a great time in these cabins with our family!

Nice and quite area to vac at

The over all stay was great my kids loved the fishing. Just wish there was more things closer to the property to do. You do have to drive quite a bit if you want to go do things. The boat ride with Tom was a great educational about the River and very fair priced.

Great Fishing

Our kids were mostly concerned about the fishing and Champlain did not disappoint. They caught bass, walleye, catfish, as well as many small fish right from the dock. Our cottage (Golden Eagle) was very clean, cozy, and well stocked. The owners were very friendly and attentive and as were their dogs that we fell in love with, especially Jabba :) We very much enjoyed our stay.

A lovely getaway

We had a wonderful stay at Watch Point Cottages--it's a beautiful spot, the Golden Eagle was a clean, cute and cozy cabin with a kitchen stocked with tons utensils, pots and pans, etc. for cooking, plus a gas grill outside and a fire pit! We enjoyed sitting back the lake on the beautiful deck, going out on the lake in the kayaks and checking out the area. Ardie and Mike were friendly and attentive hosts and made check in and out very easy. Thank you!

Golden Eagle cottage could use a bit updating but the view and scenery was lovely.

The banquet/lobster bake that Chef Mike put on for our crowd was outstanding! Tent, decorations, preparations, service, staff helpfulness and the gorgeous chair of honor for our 90 year old birthday girl were all absolutely wonderful. Our biggest thanks to Ardie, Chef Mike and the rest of the staff for a most memorable event!

About the host

Hosted by Ardie G./Tom D./ Kelly P.

Host profile image
My parents purchased the property for our family & we lived here year round until the winters got to tough on my mother. However, we lived here for the summer months & my parents rented out the cottages until 1991. My mom used to do all the interior work & would make & sew all the curtains! We had regular 'renters' year after year, some of whom my parents became good friends with & would play bridge or 'uno' in our summer home. We 'kids' would play with their 'kids', fish, waterski, boat, swim, or do what kids love to do, play! It was a great place to grow up & my children who now have children of their own, own the property with me, and love it as much as I do! We are in this joint venture together & you will choose our site for your vacation. We hope you will join us @ this beautiful property on the shores of Lake Champlain!

Why they chose this property

Because...see for yourself, there is NO OTHER property like it! Minutes to all kinds of entertainment & historical landmarks. There is so much to offer! You will delight in it's charm, sunsets, lake, fishing, views, boating, & so much more! We have rentals available for the fishing enthusiasts, the kayaker, and pontoon boat cruises available with reservations! Please reserve early to obtain the week /weeks you want! You will be pleasantly surprised!

What makes this property unique

For the anglers, boat & water enthusiasts one can go anywhere from this lake. The beautiful sunsets are an added bonus as well as watching all the various types of boats on the lake & then there are the fishermen who love to brag about 'catching the big one!' We enjoy the privacy of our property, but only have to go minutes to nearby shopping, theaters, & more! In the Golden Eagle cottage the beams are from our black locusts trees logged & seasoned right on the premises! Each cottage is unique with it's own character! They are sheltered from the hustle & bustle of the 'city life'! Come rest, relax, enjoy, & discover why everyone loves this truly 'one of a kind' piece of luxury away from it all! We can accomodate large groups! Bring your extended family! There is PLENTY of room!! We have had FAMILY REUNIONS, WEDDINGS, BRIDAL SHOWERS, PARTIES, or small couple's getaways. Your wish is truly our command...
