My group of 10 people had a wonderful time at the house. The home itself is excellent with plenty of room for a large group and so many interesting spaces to spend time. The beach and lake are great and there are many things to do within a short drive from Westport. Communication with the host was easy and quick and Antoine is helpful and informative, I highly recommend this property!
This property is a beautiful, rustic, classic Adirondack property overlooking Lake Champlain. It has a great mix of modern amenities and vintage furnishings. Antoine was very helpful with check-in and any questions we had regarding the property. The house is a great stay for a large family or group of friends. We look forward to returning next year.
