Lake Champlain Waterfront: Year-round, Incredible Sunsets, Kayaks, Firepit & W/D

This loft-style lake house is located on a shale bluff on Hog Island in Swanton, Vermont and boasts absolutely phenomenal sunsets. It is designed for a relaxing, couples or single family vacation in a nature rich environment.

Open year-round, the house has a fireplace (propane), fire pit on the beach, great swimming water, 2 kayaks/lifejackets/paddles, Wifi (XFINITY Gig), washer/dryer, and air conditioning. It has hot water baseboard heating for year-round warmth.

The house was built in 2022 and has a queen-sized master bedroom, full bath, and a loft with two twin beds.

The kitchen has a large refrigerator, stove, microwave, and a dual function keurig (k-cup or drip).

The living room has a 75 inch SMART TV, 2x barrel chairs that swivel, and a comfortable couch with side-by-side recliners.

The waterfront deck has a grill, dining table and umbrella, and an outdoor loveseat and coffee table.

Linens/towels (beach and bath)/plates/glasses/coffee cups/Keurig (k-cups/drip dual function)/ground coffee/grill/ propane all included.

It's a great, relaxing location to take a swim or launch on a kayak site seeing cruise along the beautiful shoreline.

There is no dock (predominantly west winds) but the front yard offers plenty of space to park a boat and trailer.

There are two public boat launches nearby (West Swanton Boat Access .2 miles and Tabor Point Boat Ramp 4.2 miles).

In addition, the house is just steps from Hog Island Market where fishing equipment, bait, fishing license, ice, beer, wine, and groceries are all available.

Campbell's Bay Campground (~5mi) is also close by for Pontoon, Motor Boat, or Canoe rentals.

West Swanton Orchard (1mi) is a great stop for apples, soft ice cream and souvenirs.

Green Mountain Stables is directly across the road where visitors can watch the horses training or take riding lessons, and Missisquoi National Wildlife Refuge Visitor Center is also just one mile away.

The house is centrally located within the best Pike, Bass and Walleye fishing grounds on the lake!

For those who want a bit more adventure, the Canadian border is just 4 miles north. There is a nice small, waterfront town with several great restaurants called Venice en Quebec just across the border. Montreal is also only one hour north so bring your passports.
The cottage is air-conditioned and features a kitchen and a patio, and there's space to spread out with 2 bedrooms. Guests can enjoy a Smart TV and stay connected with free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a fireplace, and a coffee maker.

We loved staying in this cozy little lake house. It was perfect for my husband and I. It was so nice watching the sun rise and set over the lake. It was very peaceful there and we always got a good nights sleep. We packed a lot into 3 days. Great communication with host. Looking forward to when we can get back to Vermont.

This was one of the more comfortable stays that I've experienced in a vacation rental.Josie was an accommodating and friendly host. There are a lot of thoughtful touches to this place such as lamps with warm lighting in the living room that add a cozy touch after you turn off the ceiling lights. The sunsets and sunrises are really beautiful. The location is near a friendly store. I recommend this home for anytime of year.
