About this property

Lakeside retreat with grill, fireplace, W/D, AC & sunset views - dog-friendly

Sit on the dazzling waters of Lake Champlain and experience waterside living at its finest when you and your family escape to Colchester! Fun can be curated right from the comfort of your stay as you play on the beach and then barbecue come nightfall. When venturing away from your vacation rental, check out the nearby parks, beaches, and the drive-in theater.

Lounge in the spacious living area after a day spent in the sun. Here, you can warm up in front of the fireplace while engaging in playful competition over a board game or watching a movie. The chef of your family will be delighted with the modern kitchen's gleaming countertops, farmhouse sink, stainless steel appliances, and breakfast bar. Dine inside or outside, depending on your mood.

Each bedroom, as bright and airy as the last, will be a welcomed escape for your loved ones. Grab a book from the home's mini library, refresh your clothes in the private washer/dryer, and practice self-care while soaking in the bathtub.

Wake up each morning excited to create more life-long memories!

Absolutely loved being right on the lake. We were able to enjoy the gorgeous views of the lake from huge picture windows. Sunsets and starry nights were amazing. Perfect set up for my immediate family and in-laws there to celebrate my daughter's graduation from St. Mike's.

Amazing sunsets...great gathering spot for friends and family

Total relaxation; loved listening to the waves lapping on the shore. Wish the home had a deck and/or screened in porch...could get a bit buggy. However, not complaining!!

Great stay on Lake Champlain! Love that all the windows are screened so you can open them up and enjoy the sounds of the lake. Nice open main living area with great views. Our 2 year old loved pointing at the families of ducks and geese and watching the boats go by when we weren’t out and about. A nice bonus would have been an outdoor seating area, but we were out exploring so much we didn’t miss it too much. Overall a great stay!
