About the host

Hosted by Paul

Host profile image
Aloha, I’m Paul, and along with my wife Maui, we’re the founders of Koala Ohana.

Koala Escapes was created to offer comfortable, thoughtfully designed stays in places we truly love — spaces that feel easy to settle into whether you’re visiting for a getaway, a special occasion, or simply some time to unwind.

Our homes are prepared with care and attention to detail, focusing on comfort, cleanliness, and a smooth, stress-free experience from booking through checkout.

In St. Albans, our properties are part of the Champlain Collection by Koala Escapes, featuring both elevated bluff views and waterfront stays along Lake Champlain — each offering its own unique way to experience the area.

When you stay with us, you’re not just booking a place — you’re part of the Koala Ohana. It’s about creating a sense of comfort, connection, and a stay you’ll want to come back to.

Why they chose this property

This location is personal. It’s where I grew up, so this area has always felt like home. Coming back to it now, it’s easy to see why — there’s something about this part of Lake Champlain that just sticks with you.

Each property offers a different way to experience the lake. From elevated bluff views to quiet waterfront coves, this area provides a mix of perspectives that you don’t often find in one place. Mornings and evenings here both have their own character — whether it’s sunrise over the water or sunsets across the Adirondacks.

At the same time, you’re close to everything that makes this area special. Kill Kare State Park, Burton Island, and downtown St. Albans are all just a short drive away, offering a balance of peaceful lake life and easy access to explore.

For me, choosing this neighborhood wasn’t just about location — it was about sharing a place that has meant something for a long time. It’s a setting that feels calm, familiar, and worth experiencing, whether it’s your first visit or one of many.

What makes this property unique

What makes this property stand out is simple — it’s the view and the feeling that comes with it.

Perched on a bluff above Lake Champlain, the home offers an elevated perspective you don’t get at most lake properties. Instead of being right at the waterline, you’re set above it, with wide, open views and some of the most memorable sunrises in the area.

It’s a different kind of lake experience — quieter, more expansive, and shaped by the natural setting around you.

Inside, the space is designed to be comfortable and easy. It’s a place to settle in after a day outdoors or enjoy a quiet evening in. The layout works well for couples, families, or small groups, with a mix of traditional sleeping spaces and a custom bunk setup that’s ideal for kids or additional guests.

You also get the best of both worlds: a peaceful, private setting with access to the lake just a short walk away.

As part of the Champlain Collection by Koala Escapes, this property offers a unique contrast to our nearby waterfront Cove retreat — trading shoreline proximity for elevation, openness, and sunrise views.

This isn’t just a place to stay — it’s a place to slow down, take in the view, and enjoy a different pace for a while.
