About this property

Our families and children have enjoyed this summer 'camp' for many years. The beach is sandy and the views of the open and clean bay are A+! We welcome your family to enjoy it as well and build your own 'summer camp' memories. Our cottage is well maintained and very beloved. We have intentionally kept it a "lake camp" and enjoy the family history and nostalgia that comes with it. Wireless Internet is available at the cottage.

The kitchen is open to the living and dining area (separated by a breakfast bar). The kitchen has all the necessities for cooking and baking; propane gas grill is on the deck for your use and enjoyment! There is an oversized picnic table and a round deck table for your meals; looking out over the Keeler's Bay.

Lake Champlain

Property was perfect for a lake retreat. Beautiful lakefront location and close to town center. Enjoyed the Adirondack chairs to relax in by the lake. House was well equipped and would definitely stay again!!!

Cute lakeside property but bring swim shoes

We rented this for a family weekend over Labour Day as we attended a wedding. We were disappointed with the swimming - the shore is quite rocky and sharp underfoot with zebra mussels so swim shoes are a must. We didn’t know that so didn’t have shoes. We would recommend that information be included in the listing. It was also quite weedy which I think was a problem everywhere this year. We did enjoy the kayaks that were left for us. The deck and lawn with picnic table and hammocks and barbecue is perfect for a family gathering. The inside of the cottage is cute and worked well although it can be noisy since the walls do not go all the way up to the ceiling for the bedrooms. They do for the bathroom! And it is carpeted throughout - even in the kitchen and bathroom. The bathroom has been freshened up and is quite nice except for the shower which does need attention. It was a bit mouldy. The beds were very comfortable and lots of good air circulation with ceiling fans and cross ventilation. To contact the property manager you need to text. Apparently emails through the app are not seen easily (the property manager told us). We didn’t figure that out right away so were not able to reach the property manager quickly at first when we had questions.

Fantastic Location and Property

About as relaxing as you could imagine on a very quiet road. The yard was splendid and provided all the lake life checkboxes you could possibly desire! We found an eagles nest nearby, caught tons of wonderful fish, explored the local farmers market. It was a 10 out of 10 week on Keeler's Bay. Multiple rainbows and sunset combos!! The property was in great shape and better than the photos. We were not wishing for something we didn't have at any point. The owners were responsive and the neighbors respectful.

About the host

Hosted by Camp Driftin

This is a family cottage since the 1950's. We love being able to share our cottage with guests and hearing about their lovely summer memories. We know how special they are!

It is fun to see who else "shares" this cottage with you... here is a picture of our family! We love this cottage dearly and welcome you to come make incredible memories!

During your stay, if you have any concerns, please reach out directly to us so that we can assist. We appreciate you thinking about stating at our lake camp!

What makes this property unique

The beach is mere steps away from the deck which makes it easy to access your boat, watch your children play or jump in on a hot day. The water is a very gradual slope with the end of the dock coming about 4 - 4 1/2 feet deep. We are on a dead end which makes the road quiet... we wake to the birds in the morning and go to sleep smelling like bon-fire smoke from roasting s'mores. It is a place to re-connect as a family, build memories, play in the water, bike ride on the road and just simply explore and slow down...
