Very nice place with top of the line kitchen equipment. Nice walking path right on property which abuts State Park. I would definitely stay again and recommend it to others. I might come back with my extended family.
My wife and I enjoyed the location because it is not to far from so many attractions in many different directions. Restaurants, little farm stands, convenient stores, NY state, Boarder crossing into Canada etc." We had a wonderful time biking, and then relaxing on the deck which overlooks lake Champlain. Just so Peaceful.
Thank you Dave for your awesome hospitality.

Thank you Rick. I look forward to seeing you again next year!
Wonderful experience at pristine lakeside cabin in Alburg, Vermont. Owner David could not have been nicer and very prompt with any questions I might have had. Cabin was new and modern with all amenities and spotlessly clean. A 2 bedroom cottage with a lovely indoor sitting area with full lake views. There is also a wooden deck outside cabin with Adirondack chairs for viewing outside if the bugs are not biting. The cabin sits in the front row of a small group of cabins just across a narrow rode from the lake. The owner lives in the red house at the far end so he is close by is there are any concerns text him.
We also had access to a tandom kayak and rowboat which is available to all guests staying at properties during the summer season. Life vests are provided. Lovely shale beach area just before red house accessed by steep wooden staircase. Boats are by shore in season. Ares is known for ancient fossils so check and you may get lucky like we did. Alburg Stare Park is about a mile away and has a nice swimming area and also great place for photos around rocks or on neighboring small cliff area. We were also there on a very windy day and the lake was quite dramatic to see. Lake was clean and nice for swimming when things calmed down. Lots of fun stores and restaurants in area to explore. Harborside Market small local place for meat or eggs and basic things. Overall a great stay we would have extended our stay for a day but we had other stops planned before we headed home. Too bad Canada was closed or we would have taken a side trip to Montreal a short drive away. Burlington is about 1 hour south and a great day trip. Lots of walking by the bike Causeway in Burlington and waterfront area with fabulous lake views on both sides a must if in the area. Overall a great stay conveniently located to a number of places for day trips and wonderful lake tranquility. Would easily go again.
Cute cottage that could use a little up-grade. The furniture was outdoor living style, it’s nice for the sunroom but the “living room needs a comfortable couch and chair. The dining table could be a bit more substantial. And the AC unit in the master bedroom was noisy.
Ideas for shade on the deck…a well placed tree could do wonders!
All in all we enjoyed our stay!
This is a lovely place to spend time. The cottage faces the lake and the sunsets are amazing. It is quiet and peaceful, and there is easy access to the State Park at the end of the street. The cottage is well equipped and the owner is responsive and helpful. We plan to return, just thinking about the peace and quiet will help us get through the rest of the summer.

We had a great stay at David’s place. Everything was clean and we loved going for walks to the park.

Exactly as advertised. Quiet, beautiful view, and very cool little cottage. I’ve been to Burlington before, but never the islands. I cannot express how beautiful it is there. We’ll be back
We stayed here for about a week and were very happy with the property - well maintained, good amenities and excellent information provided by the host regarding check-in/check-out and activities around town. Good views of the sunset from your front deck and wifi which worked well. This property is great if you want to be away from the hustle of big towns and close proximity to upstate NY or Canada. Short drive to many of the trails and sand dunes.
My mother and I were in the Islands for a wedding, I chose #7 cottage due to the walk in shower for my mom. The cabin was very spacious and easily accommodated her walker. There were spectacular sunsets during our stay and at night the fireflies came out. Hadn't seen them in years. I will definitely recommended it to others.
Thank you David and Lucy for your hospitality. We really enjoyed our stay at Cottage #7. It was clean and comfy - perfect and exactly what we were looking for. Putting our dog Saylor’s bed in the front room, she even felt at home! The lake was beautiful, and we made sure to catch the sunset every night! Boating on the lake was wonderful - it was like having the water to ourselves! That’ll change once COVID is behind us all! Being early birds, we saw a red fox run by one early morning And several bald eagles flew low over the lake giving us opportunity to witness their beauty. Perfect getaway for relaxing.
Beautiful view of the lake. David was available yet not intrusive. We had a fire on the beach one evening which was great. The description of the property was accurate. It was spotless!
Super clean, David waa a super host. Just wanted a long weekend to relax. Was very nice.

About the host
Hosted by David Bogue
Dave and Lucy live in Burlington, Vermont, where Dave grew up, and where both graduated from UVM. They have two grown children, Emily and Max, who live out-of-state.
Why they chose this property
We wanted a cottage with lake frontage. We saw the cottage, recognized its potential to become a lovely and inviting home, and turned it into one! We love the addition of the sunroom on the front of the cottage, and the open feeling we were able to create in the cottage because of it.
What makes this property unique
Dave and Lucy love the openness of the land in Alburgh. It allows you to fully appreciate what the sky has to offer: amazing cloud formations; storms approaching over the lake; breath-taking sunrises and sunsets, moonrises and moonsets; full rainbows and double rainbows; birds such as osprey, gulls, and an occasional bald eagle. We love it all, and it is constantly changing and surprising us!
