Cottage
The best that Lake Champlain has to offer! With the lakeside entrance of the Pines cottage just a few feet from the waters of Lake Champlain, this exit from the cottage transports you to some of the best fishing, swimming, and boating on Lake Champlain, and our sunsets are to die for! The 'Pines' cottage is one of eight cottages located on a quiet, private dead end road. No through traffic and very little traffic to the last 3 cottages on our access road make the Pines an ideal location for children and pets. The cottage has approximately 1100 square feet of living space and features two bedrooms with double beds, an enclosed lakeside porch, an enclosed back porch, and a large combination kitchen, dining, and living area. 'The Pines' has a 3/4 bath and sleeps a maximum of 8....The best that Lake Champlain has to offer!

'The Pines' has a 3/4 bath and sleeps a maximum of 8. The cottage has a fully equipped kitchen including all common small appliances and includes a microwave oven, dishwasher, gas grill, color TV, satellite, VCR/DVD, washing machine, and dryer. The cottage has 60 feet of private lake frontage. The depth of the lot is about 200 feet. The cottage rental includes access to a 14 foot aluminum rowboat and peddle boat. The row boat is registered for use with your motor (motor can be rented nearby). There are 2 boat hoists available, with the larger hoist having a capacity of 3600 lbs. A public boat access to the lake is located about 1 mile away. A 56 ft. common dock is located between and shared by the Pines and the Maples cottages. The beach is a mixture of sand and shale. The water depth increases slowly (about a 1 ft. increase in depth for every 10 feet from shore) making it ideal for children. Attention fishermen! The Missisquoi Bay features some of the best bass fishing in Lake Champlain and northern pike in excess of 10 lbs have been caught here. The cottage is located in the southern portion of the Missisquoi bay. Montreal can be reached in about an hour. Golfing is available in Alburg (less than 10 minutes away) and St. Albans (about 20 minutes). Supplies and dining are available in the towns of Swanton (10 minutes), Alburg (10 minutes), St. Albans (20 minutes), and Rouses Point, NY (15 minutes). Burlington, Vermont is to the south about 45 minutes. If you have a party larger than 8 people, ask about the other cottages we have for rent in the immediate area!

Quiet, peaceful, relaxing cottage with every amenity imaginable
This is the perfect retreat for someone like me who doesn't enjoy "roughing it" but still wants to enjoy a rustic, lakeside getaway. The house is the perfect size, with every amenity - dishwasher, washer & dryer, A/C, fans, fishing poles, outdoor fire pit, rowboats, plates, cookware & even a martini shaker! The lakeside enclosed porch was heaven, even when it was raining. The sunset view was spectacular. Being close to a good grocery store was a godsend. And being allowed to bring our dog was a huge plus! We spent one day in Burlington & Waterbury - a quick ride down the highway - but were eager to get back to our little cottage.

Relaxing family vacation
I stayed at this camp/cottage on Lake Champlain over several years from 1996 until we bought property and built on the lake. I incorporated many of the features of this cottage /camp into my current cottage and we are about to add a porch similar to the one facing the lake in this rental cottage. We have fond memories of the porch, wonderful sunsets, great fishing and relaxing lifestyle associated with this rental. Leisa and Ed who own it are great hosts and fun people.
