Great Sunsets

We had a great week at this place. The quaint farmhouse and accommodations were comfortable and we found everything to be as described. Although the house sits on a busy road, it is very private. The sunsets were amazing! Thank you Marc and Sophie for a great week.

Charming old house with great lakeside access.

We had a fantastic time enjoying the charming home and property. Plenty of amenities both indoors and out. The kayaks, row boat and paddle boat were great fun and our children loved adventuring and swimming in the lake. The road in front of the house was surprisingly busy and the speed limit is not followed so be careful with little ones. Communication with the owners was fantastic and they were delightful to speak with when making arrangements.

Relaxing Re energizing Week

The farm house property is a lovely spacious place to stay. The grounds are beautiful. Meadow flower gardens, tall trees and well maintained lawn surround a corky farm house with spacious island kitchen a joining a great room. There is also a memorable screened in porch on the front with a wonderful view of the Lake Champlain and her spectacular sunsets. The beds are firm but quite comfortable. Bring your own fun because the area is quite rural. Lots of time to reconnect, exercise or just be. The road it sits on is a Traveled road drivers are for the most part very curious and it is part of the Champlain bikeway.
