Graduation Weekend in Plattsburgh. Our family stayed at this perfect lake-front property for our son's graduation from SUNY Plattsburgh. Everything was in perfect condition, the home was well supplied with everything need for an enjoyable stay. The kitchen was well stocked and the outdoor space made for a perfect weekend. The location and views are one of the best we've seen in the area. The communication with Tim was easy and the check-in process was seamless. The home is now one of our top places to stay in Plattsburgh, highly recommend.

This rental was the perfect home base for our family in town for a celebration. We enjoyed ample space and comfort, making it easy for everyone to gather together. The two ovens and large dining table were especially useful for preparing meals. With a great location, fire pit, and grill, this home created a truly special occasion for everyone, and the play area was excellent for the kids.

OysterHaven

We loved this place! The back yard was large & flat (great for kids); the beach was perfect and the lake is beautiful! Loved that the water stays shallow for a decent distance for young children. Lots of water toys: kayaks/paddle boards/a canoe. Nice sized bedrooms and plenty of room in the house. Great kitchen and nice fire pit outside with plenty of seating.

We stayed here for the total eclipse in 2024. We had three families and the place was great. We want to come back and explore, there were so many interesting places we didn't have time to see.

Beautiful house

There were 9 of us and we had plenty of room. Tim was easy to reach and was a great host. The kids loved the kayaks and all the games. The beds were very comfortable and we loved all the outdoor seating. We spent most of our time on our boat and exploring Valcour island.

Family Vacation

We had a great time staying at Oyster Haven. The house was plenty big for the 11 people we had staying there. The deck and back yard were huge, which was perfect for the kids. We really enjoyed using the paddles boards, kayaks, and canoes. The only draw back was that the house is on a very busy road so there was nowhere for the kids to ride their bikes. But overall, our stay was great.

Family vacation

We have stayed in the Oyster House 3 or 4 times now. It is such a wonderful home. I love the amazing yard off the back, overlooking beautiful Lake Champlain! The bay is sandy and calm for kayaks and paddle boards. Waking up and looking over the lake. We never feel crowded! In fact it also allows us to be hospitable to welcome and enjoy other family we are visiting there on the lake. Highly recommend!!

Breathtaking

We had a very busy weekend for my daughter’s wedding. We wish we could have enjoyed all the amenities the property had and would definitely come back for a vacation week. The property was perfect for our family. Very convenient for the wedding which was a short walk to the valcour inn. The host communication was exceptional

Celebrating Life at Oyster Haven

We gathered to celebrate my mother's life and stayed at Oyster Haven. If you are judging Oyster Haven from the location, sights, beauty of the house, and everything else you can think of, Oyster Haven is not just a great choice but your only choice, in my opinion. If you want the added bonus of a house that you know is filled with family joy & love from the moment you step in and walk around, then reach out and immediately book Oyster Haven. With much appreciation, Andy Ryan
