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.

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.

Cozy cottage in a great location
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’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.

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!

Total relaxation
This property is in a great location with a perfect lake view. We were looking to stay at a small cozy place and the screened in porch looking out to the lake was a definite plus. This property was immaculately clean. The neighborhood was quiet. We were looking for rest and relaxation and found it here. Great stay.

Grand Isle Cottage
Wonderful, quiet, well equipped. The house was clean and comfortable - the owner wonderful to work with. The views of the lake are spectacular!! The owner should post pictures of the lake at night with the moon reflecting off the water - beautiful! We hope to return again and would definitely recommend to our friends.

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!

Beautiful!
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!

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.

A little slice of heaven
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. Thanks for your hospitality!

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.

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.

4 sisters annual May bike trip
This property and its owner are very special! The owner has been most helpful by great communication, friendly, accommodating changes in schedules when we requested alterations. How and when to arrive were very clear. The cottage was just as was advertised...clean, small, comfortable for 4-5 guests, all the kitchen needs met, friendly neighbors greeting us and offering help. This is a perfect place for bikers to stay for short or longer time. In May, hardly any traffic, flat, scenic rides, loops, or longer rides around the several isles, several state parks to visit, a quarry where fossils are Visible, views of New York, the islands , nurseries that offer plantings, country store s, craft shops, restaurants, galleries, state parks, winery with tours, boat launches, nearby bike trails along the lake nearer Burlington. This cottage specifically has all that a 3-7 day stay might need. Gas fireplace to warm the cottage if cool mornings, back yard table and chairs for meals, incredible view of the NY shore and Aderondaks, and sunsets. The site is private , cozy, making you feel at home, but threated to luxury setting. Shale beach for fishing or swimming, or sitting and reading, chattting, dozing! This rental was just what the four sisters needed this 2021 spring to celebrate. 2 birthdays, a tradition of biking, and pinochle, and meals....family, and health! Thankyou , Dave for sharing this place! Elaine, Kathy, Janie, and MAry

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.
