Year round activities in a private lakeview cottage!

Winter:
We are located on the VAST trail (Corridor 78) for snowmobiling with direct access right out of our driveway! Plenty of off street parking for your trailer and machines. Amazing ice fishing right in front of the cabin as well! An hour from Jay Peak, 1.5 from Smuggler's Notch, and 2 hr. from Stowe Mountains for skiing and riding.

Spring:
Spring skiing in the mountains or mountain biking once the snow is gone. Visit a Maple Sugar house, see maple syrup being made, and try the famous "sugar on snow." Of course, Spring is amazing fishing here; it is prime time Salmon and Walleye season in this area!

Boating, fishing, swimming, biking, hiking all directly from our cottage! Our dock is directly across the street. A short 5 minute walk down the road will take you to a beautiful sandy swimming beach.

Visit the Vineyards and farmer's markets or go antiquing in the Champlain Islands, 10 minutes away.

*We do now share our dock and deck/access with the neighbors, a nice couple. They do not live there full time and are very rarely around so most of the time it will be all yours! They do not have a boat on the dock so that will be the same as it has always been; open and available for your boat during your stay!

Fall:
Foliage is breathtaking in this area! We are connected to the gorgeous Lake Champlain Islands via bridge, only a beautiful hour drive from Jay Peak and 1.5 hours from Stowe with amazing foliage and views! Many Fall fairs, apple festivals, brewery tours, vineyards, music festivals, and of course fall fishing! Duck and goose hunting is big in this area this time of year as well.

For Fisherman:
This area is known for catching unbelievable trophy winning small and large mouth bass, walleye, pike, perch and crappie literally right off our shore! Bass really love the trestle bridge out front and the Missisquoi river to the north. If it's salmon you are after, a short boat ride south will get you in fantastic salmon territory! Hog Island Market is 2 miles away and accessible by car or boat in minutes for fishing licenses, live bait, tackle, boat gas, and snacks. Campbell's Bay Campground is 3.5 miles away for fishing licenses, boat gas, pontoon rentals, tackle, snacks and is accessible by car or boat as well. This spot is MADE for fisherman!

- "The house was just right for our family of 4 with the teenagers staying in the loft for a week-long relaxing getaway. Vermont has been pummeled by rain, affecting the level of the lake everywhere, so unfortunately the beach was hard to access, but not impossible. Kayaks were great, and paddles/vests was easily accessible. The owner was easy to reach. In fact at one point a smoke detector was beeping low battery and she came by to replace it within about 15 minutes! We enjoyed restaurants in St. Albans, Burlington, a bakery/cafe in Alburgh and even Shaggy's snack shack in Swanton. The pizza shop in Swanton is also quite good. Sand Bar and Alburgh Dunes state parks were great swimming spots. Next time we would love to venture over the border into Montreal."

Our family built a new chalet/lake house, and we couldn't be happier with everything the property has to offer. We are renting this beautiful lake house for just a few weeks during the summer while we are away. Enjoy 140 feet of water front, a huge deck for lounging and outdoor dining, all supplies needed for a comfortable stay, a long dock to fish and swim off, kayaks and paddle board, and amazing sunsets.

We built this 2,500 sq ft home from scratch, and are looking for some responsible people to rent out this amazing location. We also finished the basement in 2022: additional bedroom (#4), additional full bath (#3), and TV Lounge area for those rainy days. Located on Maquam Shore in Swanton, VT, interstate 89 is only 10 mins away, 45 minutes to Burlington VT, and 75 minutes to Montreal.

Starting in June, we require a four (4) night minimum stay with check in / check out occurring any day of the week. Then for peak summer, starting in July through August 30th we request a seven night stay with check in / check out on Saturdays. We then switch back to 4 night minimum stay beginning August 30th through the Fall until end of Oct. Check in / check out any day of the week. For payment, we request 50% of payment upon booking and the remaining 50% payment due 45 days prior to your arrival date.

We allow friendly dogs per request ($100 per pet fee), but no cats or other pets allowed. Please let us know if you plan to bring your dog(s).

We are taking all necessary steps to eliminate bugs & spiders in and around the house. That being said, this is a house on the lake, so there will always be bugs to deal with.

ACTIVITIES:

- Activities: There is great fishing right off the dock (we provide a couple fishing rods/reels & tackle). There are many fishing boats in the area looking for bass. Also take advantage of our onsite water toys (2 adult kayaks, 1 child kayak, and a adult paddle board) and head out on the lake for an adventure!

- Bringing your own boat: While there is a dock, it is not ideal for tying up a boat (if you plan to bring one). The lake can become very wavy / windy where we are located, and we would not recommend having a boat tied to the dock during a storm (for both the safety of your boat and for our dock). There are State boat launches near by to access the lake with a boat if you use a trailer to put in / remove your boat each day. There is also a new marina in St Albans Bay (Saint Albans Bay Marina about a 8 min drive) where you could rent a boat slip during your stay. They also have pontoon boats & jet skis you can rent daily.

- Golf: Champlain Country Club is less than 10 mins away. Great golf course!

- Dining: There is a variety of restaurants and shopping options in St. Albans (15 mins away). We provide recommendations upon arrival.

- Clean Lake Champlain for swimming. Please bring swimming shoes, as the beach and swimming area is rocky. But the lake water is very clean where we are located, and we typically avoid any algae break outs that occur in bays or other areas on Lake Champlain.

- Amazing sunsets by the fire pit! (firewood not included)

- "Awesome vacay!! Beautiful views from the house and deck, with direct access to the water. Big spacious clean house. So much natural beauty in the area." - "This home comes exactly as advertised. It’s spacious and well-provisioned. Most homes we’ve rented have limited supplies we’ve needed to restock - this was not the case here. Having four bedrooms and three full baths was excellent. We spent lots of time paddling and enjoying the lake, watching great sunsets every night, and sitting by the fire pit. Successful fishing right off the dock as well. There’s not much need to go elsewhere, but it was an easy jaunt to Montreal one day, and another to Alburgh Dunes/North Hero to explore. And we visited Maple City Candy more than once for maple creemees. There was a day and a half where the blue green algae was bad; we tracked it on the state app and used those days for excursions elsewhere. We all loved our time here. As a mom, I loved that the television is on the basement level so when we were up on the main level we could just listen to the lake or interact with each other. Watching my two teens work on a puzzle when they weren’t on the water was gratifying. And, spiders and insects were not an issue in the house. It was perfectly clean and ready when we arrived. A very relaxing and enjoyable vacation."

Welcome to our new family cottage on Maquam Bay! We recently purchased the cottage and are excited to share it with our guests.

This spot has it all! A front porch, back deck and a patio along the edge of the water all provide great spaces to relax and enjoy the peace of the lake. There is also a wood burning fire pit (wood is provided).

- "If you would like a quiet, relaxing, peaceful, and fun stay on Lake Champlain then this is the place for you. The property is beautiful and once you get the lay of the land, it is easy to navigate back and forth down to the water and kayaks. Our whole family enjoyed our time out in the water even though it was high and a little choppy at times. The house itself is a little dated, but suited our needs perfectly. The beds were quite comfortable and the living spaces gave everyone the opportunity to spread out and/or come together for games and fun. This is the most well supplied house we have ever stayed at. It had everything we needed for cooking, grilling, storing food etc.Plenty of towels, bathroom supplies, laundry supplies etc. It really was awesome. The owner is extremely responsive and helped us with a couple of hiccups in a very timely manner. Didn’t interfere with our trip at all. Consider spending your next trip to Vermont here! You won’t be sorry."

The directions were clear and the blue door made it easy to spot. Clean soft bedding and plenty of extra blankets and towels. The beautiful shady yard made the heat of the summer feel comfortable and all of the windows create a lovely cross breeze." - "Had a great time and loved the cozy atmosphere and easy access to the lake!"

- "Great stay with family at lake house with wonderful lake views and sunsets. Osprey were hunting and diving on view from deck. Well furnished and supplied house. Enjoyed nearby wildlife preserves and biking on Champlain Islands and rail trails." - "Where do I begin, because I might not stop! This place is clean, and has everything you need. The décor is adorable and very comfortable; it makes you feel at home right away. The back deck is just heavenly with the sound of the lake and the whistle of the trees and you can sit comfortably in the Adirondack chairs and watch the sunsets or the lightning storms across the lake. We wanted to stay longer and will hopefully return. Thank you so much for making this available!!"

- "This is a beautifully and thoughtfully renovated cottage in a peaceful, private setting with a gorgeous view of the water. Our hosts have thought of everything to make a stay here delightful. We are retired and enjoyed the peace and quiet but there are lots of opportunities for fun on the water. Our kids and grandkids visited us for a day, as we all live locally. Just a very special place that we plan to visit again." - "We had a fabulous time during our stay in Swanton. I've rented camps for years on Lake Champlain and this is definitely one of the best layouts for a camp. The interior is cozy with all you need for your stay and plenty of outdoor and water equipment are at the ready. Absolutely loved the three-tier lawn/beach area which is very unique for a camp. The solar lights and outdoor lighting add to the ambiance of nice summer nights. You'll enjoy the fabulous sunsets...a view that never gets old. Mike and Andrea are fabulous hosts and were available for any questions or concerns we had. We plan on coming back to this camp! We loved the camp...and if you choose this camp we believe you'll love it too."

Spent time on the outside covered porch with a coffee listening to birds. Would 100% recommend this property for a family looking to get away and do day trips in Vermont and Montreal. Internet strong enough to work on. Property host great too" - "Me and my friends came from Canada to spend the weekend. Steven was amazing, and quick to respond, quicker to help.

- "The property is welcoming, quiet, and has a wonderful, secluded beach. Mike was a pleasure to rent from and communicate with. Highly recommend." - "The property is exactly as advertised. The lake bottom is rocky, but the water is very clear. Tevas or swim shoes solve the problem. Great paddleboarding and swimming. I stayed ten days but could have easily stayed longer. One suggestion: the living room furniture could be replaced with something more comfortable -- with relaxation in mind (sectional or recliner -- anything confy). All in all, great stay, great lake, great sunsets!"

this is an off grid style living but has power and hot water, The bathroom is a portable toilet but does “flush” and seal.. It is nothing fancy, the bathroom is not heated or insulated as this is only a season rental.

- "Perfect for our weekend stay. A classy alternative to camping in a superb area. The place is very well kept and clean. The toilet is small: while quite ok for the Wife and I as we are small persons, it could be annoying for large or heavy persons. The owner was very quick and helpful on all communication. Enjoy!" - "Nice minimal, clean, tastefully decorated cabin. Very short around the corner walk to Lake Champlain. We used the available double person kayak and had a beautiful excursion on the lake. Rt. 7 access nearby for nice biking routes. Spotless internet service in the cabin."

- "we just love the place!! right on the shore of Lake Champlain, with all the amenities that anybody could wish for and excellent and peaceful location the islands as well as tons of fishing places. The owners that live next by helped us a lot during our stay and provided anything we asked for. If you're looking for a place to relax this is the spot." - "We stayed for a family reunion. The owner was very pleasant and receptive and let us have our space unless we needed something from her. The home is older but clean and well kept and right on the water. We had a very nice stay there and would do it again."

-Bed linens and towels are provided.

It’s a super cozy house and has one of the most beautiful sunset Lake views both from inside and outside. If we ever have the pleasure of being in northern Vermont again, we would certainly book another stay there!" - "We really enjoyed our stay on The lake. The weather couldn’t have been nicer which always improves the time. Plenty of space, kayaks, long dock to dive from. Fire pit, shooting stars. The camp was roomy and beds were comfy. Only drawback was water pressure in the shower, easily got over that with all the plus’ Jeremiah was prompt with our questions and just so nice!! Location was quick to town and maple city creamees are a must!!!"

This is a 3 bedroom 2 bath summer cottage for those who like to be outside on beautiful Lake Champlain. Located outside of Swanton Vermont in a private family location. Docks and plenty of summer fun await you.

The lake house was very clean comfortable and accommodating had everything we needed including extras not listed like a/c in master bedroom. The host goes above and beyond to make it feel at home and is there to answer any questions and help with your needs if you have any. The lake is beautiful with easy access an great fishing.

- "lovely place right on the water owner was great we had a great time you walked right out into the water. The cabin was beautiful and the porch screened and glassed-in was fantastic. The only issue is you really can't drink the water so we had to use bottled water not a big deal outside of that we would definitely go there again and we plan to"
