The house was beautiful, bright, clean, and comfy with beautiful views of the lake and fabulous sunsets! The house was fully stocked with all that we needed. Check in and check out were easy, and Tom, our host, was readily available with the couple of questions I had. I highly recommend this house as a wonderful vacation spot.

Relaxing and exceptional views of the lake. Home equipped with all that is needed in a home away from home. Stairs and split level room navigation awareness is needed for this property. We live in a ADA home and placing reminders around these areas presented no problem for us at 74yrs in this beautiful home on Lake Champlain.

Outstanding - Yet again!

What a perfect place and setting, it never disappoints. This is our 3rd year here, and we have already booked for next year. Views continue to amaze us, you will not find a better spot for sunsets or for a fire in the firepit area. We even caught a few fish off the backyard. The house is comfortable and close to everything that you need. Thomas our host was very communicative. The house itself is very well furnished!

An amazing retreat on the lake!

Alan's property was super clean and well maintained. The property was exactly as advertised. Check in was simple and there were plenty of amenities that we were able to bring in all our food for three days and rarely needed to go out. The view of the lake was amazing!

Gorgeous Lake Views, Small Town Charm

We have rented here twice and absolutely fell in love with the home's location right on the edge of the lake sitting on a modest cliff with access to a dock. Sunsets are beautiful along with the occasional sailboat, fisherman and wildlife. Great firepit area and chaise lounge chair area set up to the side. We enjoyed visiting the local restaurants, general store and golf course along with day trips to Burlington, Stowe and Montreal.

Stunning Views!

An amazingly cheerful, clean, cozy cabin with stunning views of Lake Champlain! The kitchen was well-appointed and the beds extremely comfortable. The home is well-decorated and cared for. Even the grounds were well manicured with beautiful plants and flowers on the deck. Our kids enjoyed swimming and fishing off the dock. Communication with the owner was easy. We'd definitely stay here again!

A Gem of a House

We - adult couple - had a Saturday to Saturday rental in late June. We also had two single family members visit for one night each. This is a case where the on-line photos accurately show how special this house is. The house itself is charming, and ideal for smaller groups...our guests were delighted with the loft bedroom and bath. It also is the BEST equipped home I've rented in 40-odd years of vacation rentals. There is absolutely nothing that isn't provided. But apart from the style and comfort of the house is the spectacular view of Lake Champlain...from the house, from the deck, and from the terrace below. During our week we had quite varied weather, from stormy and windy with whitecaps, to sunny, warm and dead calm. And the lake was fascinating at all times. And toss in several stunning sunsets. A final major plus is the close availability of several very fine dining options, both more formal for dinner and casual for lunches...so it's certainly not necessary to cook at home very often. Bottom line: we loved our week here and plan to go back!

I can only echo what others have already said. The cottage was charming, clean, and appointed with many. lovely touches. The home is not large, but the useful space has been deliberately and cleverly maximized. And, while it was partially a working vacation, my "office" in the dining area, with windows overlooking the lake on three sides, often made it hard to focus on my computer screen. (I didn't really mind.) The deck is vacation destination in and of itself, with views that can't be beat. They didn't have to add the beautiful climbing flowering plants, but I am so glad they did. It immediately brought me back to a long ago stay overlooking Lake Como. As noted by other guests, the broad retractable awning made the space comfortable for most of even the hottest days. The property is private, quiet, and very peaceful. Falling asleep in the hammock is not hard to do. Classic summertime vibe.I would definitely consider booking again. That said, there are a couple things I would like to point out. The mini split in the main living area does nicely cool most of the house. However, the loft bedroom can remain rather warm, even overnight. And, if you need to keep the door of the primary bedroom closed, it does get pretty toasty. Standing fans to circulate the cooler air would be a helpful addition. Finally, I had not realized there was no direct access to the lake. Replacing the dock would make this spot practically perfect!

Great house , skip using Evolve if at all possible

This house is fantastic. The housekeeper is a love. The contact person had sadly died and Evolve never knew. They also charged us $1,000 more for the property than it was being rented for the following week. If you can get this property without them involved I recommend it %100, it is gorgeous!

Sweet “SugarShacj”

Lovely home on the lake with beautiful sunsets every night. Home is best suited for 4 overnight guests, as the nook doesn’t provide any privacy. We loved the fire pit and the kitchen is very user friendly for dinners cooked to perfection. Water access not user friendly, short ladder on tall peer, but water level is low. Instructions for home use might be helpful for future guests.

Gorgeous view!!

Family of 5 with 3 teenage boys: the view is amazing, right on the water, boys enjoyed skipping rocks, hammock was lovely, loungers were perfect for morning coffee, kitchen is well stocked, dining room table is surrounded by windows on 3 sides, master bedroom has great views of the lake as well, sun setter awning was great for shade on the deck. We booked a sailing tour in Burlington and an e-bike tour in Montreal, highly recommend. Bring your bikes if you can.

Quintessential Lakeside Cottage

This is the second time I’ve stayed at the North Hero cottage on Pelots Point. Whoever designed this home thought of every possible detail! It is also decorated impeccably including many lovely original pieces of art. In the perfect location to explore North Hero and adjacent islands, it also is situated to take in the amazing sunsets over the lake. If you are looking for a lakeside cottage, definitely stay here! You will be delighted!

Beautiful place in great location

My family (husband/wife/kids 14 & 11) stayed here for a week in late June. We were looking for a quiet, relaxed getaway and this place was perfect for us. First - the property: well-designed, very clean and well maintained inside & out, very modern feeling, plenty of amenities. One note for awareness - the loft bedroom doesn't have a door and it has openings to hear down to the first floor. We liked feeling connected, but just be aware if you prefer more privacy that only the main bedroom has a door.. The location is amazing - only one house next door but otherwise it's on a low traffic, low noise road. The views of Lake Champlain are amazing from both the deck and the dock. We swam in the lake (with watershoes - slippery rocks) and kayaked. There are a few small stores (Hero's welcome ~ 5 minutes and Harborside Market ~ 10 minutes) that can stock you up, but just be aware that the nearest big grocery store is ~40 minutes away. We loved this place and highly recommend.
