A Perfect Lake Front Vacation Spot In Beautiful Grand Isle, Vermont

Note: July and August is only available Saturday to Saturday seven nite stay Minimum.

The cottage sits 30 feet from the edge of the lake. Wonderful sunsets

The property is located on West Shore Road in Grand Isle on the 'Broad Lake' looking across Lake Champlain to the Adirondacks. The cottage sits 100 yards off the road shaded by old cedar trees. It is a beautiful piece of lakefront with a private beach. Great for swimming, fishing, or lounging in the sun down by the water. Bring a kayak or a boat (free boat launch ramp 400 feet down the road). Great area for biking.

The cottage sleeps four in two bedrooms, one with a queen-size bed, one with a double bed. There is also a double futon in the living room. Nice, comfortable living room and kitchen, bath with stall shower, and a lovely lakeside screened-in porch. There is a gas grill as well as a charcoal grill, Adirondack chairs, town water (not a well or the lake). Bath towels and bed linens supplied. Please bring linens for futon if planning on using. Gas fireplace. Free wireless internet. New in 2021 is our wonderful outside shower.

There is also an outside table with umbrella and four chairs.

Perfect fall getaway!
My wife and I spent few nights here in early October and what an incredible spot right on Lake Champlain! We couldn’t get enough of the sunsets over the NY foliage. Looking forward to going back

Beautiful, Rustic Spot
My partner and I really enjoyed our short stay here. The cottage was a little more rustic than we expected, but the gas wood stove and the new oven (the latter updated from in the listing photos) were great additions. The cottage is just a staircase away from the lake where we could sit and watch the sun set. We would definitely stay here again.

So calming and beautiful
Such a nice property! The view is STUNNING and the sunsets every night are unbeatable. I love that the cottage is older and rustic. Something about it just calms you down and makes all your worries wash away. You are a short drive to 2 grocery stores, things to do, a couple restaurants, and plenty of baked goods! Yum! The only thing we agreed was not the best was the beds. They were pretty uncomfortable and there were a couple nights we didn't sleep well. But otherwise we were calm and happy the entire trip. We even got engaged here!!

Amazing views
Quaint little cottage with amazing views. Very relaxing and peaceful. From morning coffee on the porch, the cozy hammock and watching sunsets on your own private beach. If you do venture out, drop by a farmer's market, take in a concert at the Snowfarm Vineyard or grab the 15 min Ferry to New York and visit Ausable Chasm. We definitely will be back. Thanks Dave!

View of Lake Champlain
Beautiful, comfortable cottage on Lake Champlain with incredible view of sunsets! Although small, we spent most of our time on the screened porch (when we weren’t golfing). All over very clean, kitchen had everything we needed. Spacious outside shower (very private) was amazing especially since we had 90F heat wave! All in all our 5 day stay was wonderful, thanks Dave!

The place is private, peaceful, clean and well maintained. Dave, the owner, even warned us of an approaching storm and advised us on how to protect screen porch furniture upholstery from getting wet, so communication was excellent, too.

We’ve stayed at this cottage four times now - great location - Dave is a good host and communicates well. Peaceful spot and can’t beat the view. It’s also easy to get to Burlington or across to New York depending on what you’re looking to do.

Loved the cabin and the view!
Great view, loved the screened-in porch, hammock, rocky beach, outdoor fires, walks along the road, local produce at a neighborhood farm. Overall a great experience. Only downside was the neighbors on either side were noisy, but still we would return. Thank you!

Beautiful view on Lake Champlain
Enjoyed the views from the porch of this rustic cabin on the lake. Ok house for 2 adults and children (max 4 persons). One bed is comfortable, the other is not. Unable to determine the temperature of the oven bc the dial is not attached to the stove making it difficult to use. BBQ grill is nice so plan on all cooking outside. Solo stove in the yard for outdoor fire which was wonderful. Host responds quickly to all communication.

Wonderful relaxing stay!
This was my second time at this cottage, and I loved it again. So did my girlfriends for whom it was a first visit. We loved eating and chatting on the screen porch, hanging out in the hammock, dinner on either porch or at table outside. The views are hard to beat, and the neighborhood is peaceful. I had some wonderful swims in the lake, and enjoyed the walking and biking in the area too. We will be back! Thanks again for sharing this wonderful part of Vermont!

DO NOT RENT THIS PROPERT
I read all the reviews for this “cottage” before I made my reservation. According to the host it’s not a “cottage” it’s a “camp”. But not according to the listing. It’s listed as a “cottage. I don’t understand how VRBO allows such poor properties on their site. It’s obvious my expectations are different than previous guests reviews. There was nothing nice about the “camp”. It has a dangerous and over used oven/range, with poor wiring and lighting throughout and too few electrical outlets. It is furnished with Junk for furniture. The porch was infested with black ants. Forget the inside shower, you will have to use the one outside…even in the rain. Contact with a host was limited. In one of the 2 conversations I had with him he was a bit cavalier in addressing the reality of one issue I had. And, basically offered no solution.

West Shore Road Cottage
Comfortable A/C in bedroom. Lots of fans with nice screened porch. Convenient to South Hero Wally's and Seas. And to Burlington for Dining in the evening, baseball, and Movies in Essex. Nice shower always a plus. Insufficient directions for using TV, could have called, not a big deal so didn't call. Had some evenings sitting and watching the sunset. We enjoyed out time there.

This immaculately maintained cozy little cottage is situated right at the edge of the shore of Lake Champlain. The sunsets were breathtaking and the area so peaceful and relaxing. Perfect spot from which to explore all the islands have to offer, while also easy to reach Burlington.

We stayed for two days/ nights during the June heatwave. Didn’t need heat but would be a great place to snuggle and read, watch movies. Being right on the lake with the sunsets was wonderful! Great area for walks, runs, biking. David so friendly, responsive and helpful! We will find our way back! Thank you! And the windows so clean!

A perfect lake front vacation spot indeed. That view though. You will have to come and see for yourself. We had mostly cloudy weather but it just didn’t matter. The cottage was peaceful and cozy. The owner Dave was available, not that he was needed, we had everything for a perfect stay.The neighbors where, friendly. Felt like home away from home. Dave we will be back.
