# 9 Isle View - Lake, Fishing, Sunsets, Beaches, Golfing, Biking, Relaxing

Nestled on the serene shores of Lake Champlain, Isle View Cottages offer a picturesque getaway for those seeking relaxation and rejuvenation. Located in Alburgh, Vermont, just north of North Hero, our cottages face Isle LaMotte to the west, and provide the perfect blend of charm and modern comfort.

We have 8 cottages on site, so if you don’t see what you need, please ask. VRBO does not always show you everything that we have available. Whether you're planning a romantic escape for two, a family vacation, or a family reunion requiring multiple cottages, our accommodations provide what you need.

The Accommodations: This is one of a selection of cozy cottages, each thoughtfully designed to ensure your utmost comfort. Wake up to stunning views of the lake from your private deck or patio, and unwind in the evenings watching spectacular sunsets and enjoying the clear horizon-to-horizon starlit sky.

The Amenities: Our cottages are equipped with all the amenities you need for a memorable stay. Enjoy well-stocked kitchens where you can whip up delicious meals using fresh, local ingredients, or barbecue outdoors, then eat on the lake-facing deck while taking in the breathtaking views. Stay connected with complimentary Wi-Fi, and cozy up in the lake-facing sunroom with a good book, board games, or TV for entertainment. This cottage has a washer and dryer in the unit.

The Location: Situated just steps away from the pristine shores of Lake Champlain, Isle View Cottages offer unparalleled access to outdoor adventures. This gorgeous 45-acre site was once a farm that rented summer cottages since the early 1950's. Over the decades, the cottages have been rebuilt and recently totally upgraded for today's guests. Many of our guests comment on how much they enjoy the peace and quiet they find here. We agree, and that's why we choose to live on the site during the rental season!

Spend your days swimming, fishing, or kayaking on the lake, or explore the nearby walking trails and scenic bike routes. For those seeking cultural experiences, Burlington and Montreal are each about an hour away, and each boasts quaint shops, art galleries, and local eateries waiting to be discovered.

This 85-acre preserve offers year-round free access to 480 million year old fossils from the Chazy Fossil Reef. Visitors can take a self guided tour of the fossils and continue to explore the beautiful former farm fields on longer trails traversing the property.

The cottage was immaculate -- it felt like we were the first people there ever! Comfortable beds, well-stocked kitchen. House is not right on the water -- you have to cross a rural street and then descend to the Lake, where there are two nice kayaks and a canoe. Pleasant!

Great weekend!

We spent Labor Day weekend here. The location is absolutely beautiful- we loved sitting out on the front deck and watching the sunset over the lake. The cottage was clean and had new, modern fixtures. It served as a great home base for day trips to Montreal and Burlington. We also loved the Alburgh Dunes State Park down the road. David sent really helpful information ahead of time and also stopped by one morning to make sure everything was going well. Overall, we had a really positive experience.

Comfortable Cottage

Myself and my 2 sisters, enjoyed our time together at the cottage. We celebrated my youngest sisters birthday- Her 76th in fact!! Given our ages and the distance between our car's and the cottage, we were challenged By the moving in and out! However, if you are younger than our ages ( 82-78-76 ) I expect this would not be an issue!! The cottage was the perfect place for our time together- as sisters!

Lake Champlain cottage - late summer

Great week on the lake. Perfect for family of 4. Simple and comfortable cottage with the essentials. Very clean and well-maintained. Setting on the lake is quite nice. We had a rainy week but still enjoyed the quiet and the setting. Lake access (short 3-minute walk away) with dock and kayaks is great. Found fossils and had a fire at the lake. Only suggestion for owner is to figure out better means to share necessary forms as the provided document links do not allow for active links nor ability to copy/paste address from VRBO app. Highly recommended- will consider for any future trips to area.

Beyond a 5 star review

I have been known as the “” Princess and the pea” as far as all things have to be perfect for me to be content “. When traveling this is forever my issue. Not only did David the owner , answer all my questions- with patience and ease- I found the cottage to be perfect for me. Air quality was excellent and the queen bed was so comfortable that I enquired for all info necessary to purchase a mattress exactly like that for myself. I have never been able to give an honest review of a 3 when renting before. This would exceed 5 x2 = a 10.

Comfortable and a great value

Cabin #9 was a clean and comfortable home for our Thanksgiving getaway. We were looking for a place that was pet-friendly and the owner was kind enough to accommodate our two cats after I provided some information. We brought a lot of their things from home and they quickly accommodated and loved it, and so did we three humans. The neighborhood around the house was quiet and pleasant and right next to the lake with some great sunset colors across the water in the evening. The living room was nice to relax in with lots of windows to view the lake and deck. In the late fall, the area is not too exciting and at least a 30-60 minute drive to any attractions (small convenient grocery store/gas station with excellent homemade soups right nearby, though), but it looks like it would be a fun place in the summer and the sunsets might be in a better position too. I had two complaints—one is that there is only one large gas furnace for heating. It’s perfectly adequate to heat the entire house, but the heat was not evenly distributed and it was hard to maintain the right temperature throughout the place. Some electric baseboard radiators in the bedroom might be preferable; however, I doubt that this place gets enough winter activity to make the construction worthwhile. Another issue that could be more easily corrected is that the blinds in the bedroom don’t block the morning light at all. I had to hang a blanket from the window frame to be able to sleep without excessive morning light. The beds were quite comfortable, though. Overall, the minor issues are not significant enough to remove a star; for our purposes (a well-priced, pet-friendly vacation rental away from the city), it was perfect.

Beautiful Location and View

Our stay was excellent. The cottage had everything from supplies in the kitchen (dish soap, garbage bags, paper towels) to great chairs on the the deck. The cottage was recently updated, extremely clean, and the beds were comfy. The internet worked great for streaming videos and doing work. Having our own washer and dryer was convenient. A small convenient store was down the road that had sandwich meats, vegetables, and other supplies. A full grocery store was about 25 minutes from the property. Plenty of trails to hike in the area and shore line to fish. The owners are super friendly, accommodating, and live in close proximity to the cottage. A gas grill was additional plus for grilling in at night. Lots of places to explore as well. We will definitely be back and we are already spreading the word to our friends.

My wife and I had a great time renting here. It was perfect for what we were looking for. A place to disconnect and just sit back and relax.

Comfortable, Clean and Accommodating

As my title states this property was very comfortable, very clean and accommodating. The host was very thoughtful and listed places of interest in the area for us. The beds were so comfortable, and the area was quite. We all slept sound. The location was quiet and had great views, the only con to this property is it didn't have great access to the water. Overall it is a wonderful place to relax with family/friends on Lake Champlain. We will be back for another visit.
