We opened this farmhouse as a place for families to slow down, reconnect, and make memories the way they used to—long meals, shared stories, and mornings with nowhere to rush to. If that’s the kind of trip you’re craving, we’d love to host you.
This lovingly restored lakefront farmhouse blends classic Vermont charm with modern comfort, offering the perfect four-season escape for families and friends. With room for up to 12 guests, the house sits on a quiet peninsula just outside Saint Albans — a postcard-perfect town on the shores of Lake Champlain.
The home features a spacious wraparound porch that’s made for slow mornings and golden evenings. Sip your coffee as the sun rises over the lake, surrounded by birdsong and the scent of fresh lake air. An outdoor table invites you to enjoy your meals al fresco, and Adirondack chairs in cozy spots around the porch invite you to unwind with a book, a conversation, or simply the view.
Outside, we offer a grill for casual cookouts, and a lakeside firepit awaits — perfect for roasting s’mores with the kids or enjoying a glass of wine under the stars.
Inside, you’ll find multiple gathering spaces — a large farmhouse kitchen, welcoming living and dining areas, and thoughtfully appointed bedrooms that offer both comfort and privacy. It’s the kind of home where you can cook a big breakfast, linger over a puzzle, or share stories at the table after a day outdoors.
Whether you’re here to explore or to recharge, the experience is yours to shape. Paddle the bay in one of the provided kayaks, bike or hike nearby trails, or head to a sandy beach just five minutes away. In fall, you're front and center for Vermont’s stunning foliage. In winter, some of the state’s best ski mountains are just under an hour away. And if you simply want to relax? This house is ready to welcome you with stillness, beauty, and a front-row seat to the natural rhythms of the lake.

About the host
Hosted by Michelle Whittles Shelton
Hi! I’m a writer, mom, spouse, and avid CrossFitter based in Los Angeles—but a big part of my heart lives in Vermont. Our family fell in love with Saint Albans for its small-town charm, welcoming community, and the beauty of Lake Champlain in every season.
My daughter and her wife live just five minutes from the house, so we spend a lot of time here enjoying lake days, farmers markets, snowy walks, and quiet evenings at home. We’ve thoughtfully designed this space to feel cozy, comfortable, and well-loved, and we hope it becomes a place where you can truly relax and feel at home, too.

Why they chose this property
Once part of the historic Sweeney family dairy farm and later a beloved bed and breakfast, this farmhouse has long been a place where families gathered, travelers rested, and community thrived.
We chose this neighborhood because it offers the best of Vermont living — open land, lake access, and a strong sense of place. The home sits in a peaceful, rural setting where kids can explore safely, families can unplug, and every season brings new outdoor adventures. Summer days are perfect for kayaking, swimming, biking, and porch time; fall brings foliage, cider mill tours, and harvest markets; winter invites skiing, snowshoeing, and ice fishing; and spring welcomes maple festivals, quiet walks and fresh air.
What we love most is how welcoming and grounded the area feels. Neighbors care about the land and each other, and the pace encourages connection — with nature, with family, and with the simple joys of being together. It’s an ideal home base for making memories while experiencing Vermont the way it’s meant to be lived.

What makes this property unique
This farmhouse is more than a place to stay — it’s a place with a story. Once part of the historic Sweeney family dairy farm and later a beloved bed and breakfast, the home has long been a gathering place where people came to rest, reconnect, and enjoy Vermont’s natural beauty.
What truly sets it apart is the combination of authentic farmhouse character and modern comfort, paired with lake access and expansive outdoor space. Families love the room to spread out, the wraparound porch for morning coffee and sunset views, and the easy transition from indoor coziness to outdoor adventure.
Each season offers something special: kayaking and swimming in summer, foliage and farm markets in fall, skiing and ice fishing in winter, and peaceful renewal in spring. Whether you’re cooking together, relaxing by the water, or simply enjoying time away from busy routines, the home is designed for meaningful moments — the kind guests return for year after year.
