Lakeside Retreat in Adirondack Valley! Summer on the lake; Winter on the slopes!

Oyster Haven is a renovated circa 1830 farmhouse that combines vintage charm with all the modern conveniences, including a state-of-the-art gourmet kitchen with two ovens and an enormous central island perfect for large family gatherings.
Located on the shore of Lake Champlain, this immaculate and comfortable vacation home boasts an acre and a half of property that includes a deck, a large patio with a fire pit, and a grassy yard that stretches out to where stairs lead down to a private beach. With 250 feet of lake frontage, a dock, two kayaks, a canoe, a stand-up paddle board, and a mooring for those who wish to bring or rent a motorboat or sailboat, guests can find a whole host of outdoor activities without ever leaving the back yard.

Located very close to the Adirondack Mountains, enjoy hiking in the summer and outstanding skiing on Whiteface Mountain in the winter. The Fall also provides for breathtaking leaf turning color!

So much history in the area, with museums featuring the Revolutionary War and War of 1812. The portion of the lake off our back yard was the site of the Battle of Valcour of the Revolutionary War! Attractions nearby include Ausable Chasm with rafting (even white water), tours, and even rock climbing. The area has a winery tour and a current explosion of craft breweries to visit. We have a connection with The Valcour Brewing Company located in The Old Stone Barracks on the old Plattsburgh Air Force Base.

For those planning a wedding in the area, we are located right next door to the Valcour Conference Center which hosts year round weddings and receptions. Our home is a short walk to this venue and perfect for housing out of town wedding guests.

The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen, 2.5 bathrooms, and a patio. There's space to spread out with 4 bedrooms and a dining area. Guests can expect to find free WiFi and a Smart TV with a DVD player. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a fireplace, and a coffee maker.

Breathtaking

We had a very busy weekend for my daughter’s wedding. We wish we could have enjoyed all the amenities the property had and would definitely come back for a vacation week. The property was perfect for our family. Very convenient for the wedding which was a short walk to the valcour inn. The host communication was exceptional

Oyster Haven Heaven

Oyster haven was a beautiful place to rest on the lake or play in the backyard any game you could think of (the grassy backyard was awesome)! The house AC worked great. The kayaks were great! The paddle boards were missing the rudders but still usable. The kitchen was a gathering place and fully stocked. We would definitely return! The beds were very comfortable

Family vacation

We have stayed in the Oyster House 3 or 4 times now. It is such a wonderful home. I love the amazing yard off the back, overlooking beautiful Lake Champlain! The bay is sandy and calm for kayaks and paddle boards. Waking up and looking over the lake. We never feel crowded! In fact it also allows us to be hospitable to welcome and enjoy other family we are visiting there on the lake. Highly recommend!!

Celebrating Life at Oyster Haven

We gathered to celebrate my mother's life and stayed at Oyster Haven. If you are judging Oyster Haven from the location, sights, beauty of the house, and everything else you can think of, Oyster Haven is not just a great choice but your only choice, in my opinion. If you want the added bonus of a house that you know is filled with family joy & love from the moment you step in and walk around, then reach out and immediately book Oyster Haven. With much appreciation, Andy Ryan

Beautiful view, lovely home, close to road.

The house was large and very nicely decorated. Kids enjoyed the ping pong in the basement. The views from the backyard were beautiful. The owners were very responsive and helpful both before, during, and after our stay. I gave only 4 stars because we are light sleepers, and house is situated close to a busy highway and a train also passed through the area several times a night. Also, if you are considering bringing a dog, we found out that the shore is lined with burr plants that became tangled easily in our doodles coat and we could not have them at the waters edge. It was October so not sure if they are there in the summer months as well. The private waterfront access would be very nice in the summer!

This was our second summer staying for a week at Oyster Haven. Our multi generation group enjoyed every aspect of the property. The outside space can’t be beat - from the expansive back yard to the private beach area with use of kayaks and a canoe. We all love this property!

Family Lake Getaway

We have stayed on Lake Champlain before, but this property was even better. The house was very spacious, very clean, and very homey. We came with another family with 6 kids (11-17yrs) between us. We enjoyed the tubes, boogie boards, kayaking, canoeing, and SUPs. Great outdoor spaces. It’s the perfect place for a family lake vacation. We hope to rent this property again! Thank you!

We loved our stay at Oyster Haven. The house was comfortable, spacious, and accommodated four couples nicely. There were so many places to gather to eat, hang out, and play games, and the lake view was absolutely stunning. Groceries and supplies were close by in Plattsburgh, and there was so much to see and do within a short drive. We recommend this home to anyone looking for a relaxing lakefront getaway. Thanks for a great stay!

Amazing home for an annual family trip

I cannot say enough good things about this property and it’s host! The pictures do not do it justice, the house is big and spacious and homey. It included everything we needed. The fire pit, yard, and lake were literal perfection. We kayaked, paddle boarded and just enjoyed our time being outdoors. My 8 year old particularly loved the kids room off the kitchen and the ping pong!! We ventured out to Ausable Chasm and a few breweries in the area but we all just wanted to enjoy the house and the perfect weather we had. We had to reach out to the hosts and Tim was kind, responded quickly and such a nice gentleman. If your on the fence about this house, don’t be. It’s perfect!

Great Lake front

My family and I had a great time at this lake house. Overall was a great place accommodating all of us (kids and adults). We made use of the kayaks and other items on the outside shed, kids and adults we all had fund using them and being on the water. The water was still too cold for some of us but that did not stop us from being on it. The only suggestion would be to update the stove, its workable but it could be upgraded to meet the needs of those of us who enjoy cooking variety.
