Let's say that I was extremely tempted to rent the place for the rest of the year. It was so pretty, the owner could not have been nicer or more accommodating, and the sunsets were breathtaking. The cabin (or "camp" as it is called in VT) is small but plenty of room for 2 to 4 adults (the one room has twin beds which would also work for kids). It is very convenient - kayaks and life jackets are provided and the storage shed is where we stored our bikes. There is no dishwasher but that was not an inconvenience. The refrigerator was even stocked with eggs and milk and there was a basket with Vermont goodies in it.
If you are not fond of reeds touching you, then it wouldn't be a swim from shore kind of experience, but there is a sandy beach a short drive from the cabin on the Sandbar Bridge which is very swimmable. We biked one day to the ferry access and back, 10-ish miles round trip.
In short, a wonderful lakefront stay that has stuck with us. I sometimes close my eyes during stressful times and picture sitting on the deck watching the birds and water rippling.

This was a fantastic place to spend some time with the kids. We really enjoyed being right on the lake and spent a lot of time kayaking. The nearby bike path and bike ferry was a lot of fun.

We had a great time riding bikes, paddle boarding, reading, and exploring the area! The property was a good home base for us and it was really nice to be able to store bikes in the garage/shed.

Breathtaking is the best description of the view from this house. It is perfectly located - a short drive could bring you to a farm stand, hike, or to Burlington for the tasty food scene. The owner was pleasant and easy to communicate with. Highly recommend South Hero for a quiet getaway.

This lakeside cottage was great for our family of 4. We enjoyed everything the property had to offer including watersports (kayaks and rowboat) and proximity to local restaurants and attractions. Seb's quickly became a favorite with the kids and we also enjoyed horseback riding on the island as well as the local winery and brewery. Apple Island marina, a few minutes away, was a fun afternoon on the lake with a pontoon rental. The host was easy to communicate with and answered questions and addressed minor issues promptly. Thanks for a great visit!

I stayed with my two boys--9 and 12. The house was perfect for us, with the master bedroom and twin beds in the other bedroom. The bathroom was quite large for the size of the house, and the extra half bath made things that much easier. The kitchen is well equipped and spacious.
The house is small and an older style, but all of the furniture and bedding is newer and in great shape. Same for the floors, kitchen cabinets/countertops, and bathrooms. There were plenty of plates and silverware, and all the pots and pans you could need. The window AC unit was much appreciated the week we were there, as it was an incredibly hot week and we would have been sweltering without it.
We also made ample use of the kayaks that are available. There is a large side yard that is good for yard games, throwing or kicking a ball around, etc. There is cornhole in the shed but we didn't play it.
I agree with the one reviewer who said that the area out front is not great for swimming, which was very unfortunate given the heat we experienced. Most days, we just paddled around the little point to an area that was less weedy, but that meant getting in and out of kayaks in the middle of the lake...much easier for a couple of young boys than it was for this 45-year-old mama! But overall, it's a great location right on the lake and really easy for getting kayaks and paddleboards in and out of the water, which was really what we were there for anyway! This was a great house and we would definitely stay there again.

We really enjoyed our stay at the lake cottage. It was very peaceful and nice location. It was nice to have the kayaks to use. We were able to something different every day. It's close to several nice beaches, a winery, and short drive to Burlington or Winooski. We would definitely go back! Thanks for a great experience.

We loved celebrating our daughter’s graduation at this wonderful place. We especially enjoyed kayaking and hanging out by the campfire. Our only regret is that we didn’t book for a longer stay!

My husband and I had a great visit in late July. Great deck with beautiful sunset views. Enjoyed the fire pit, kayaks and grill. Property was very tidy and well appointed and the owner, Bob, was responsive during stay. We enjoyed a wine tasting at Snow Farm winery and some time at the local beach. Would recommend this property to others!

My family was looking for a quiet spot on a lake to completely unplug and just "be" for two weeks. This camp was exactly what we needed. The house was small but cozy and well appointed, down to a waterproof carrier for our iphones when out on the lake. My husband and children used the row boat almost daily to fish when we weren't kayaking or biking the island. The island was completely bikeable even for my 7 year old son who could handle a number of miles that ended in ice cream at Seb's or a swim at White's Beach. The neighbors were friendly and the town inviting. We took day trips to visit Burlington and AuSable Chasm but otherwise, spent our evenings around the fire pit watching the sun go down with a glass of wine while the kids made S'mores.

The stay at the cottage was everything we hoped for and more. The layout of the cottage was open and inviting, and while small, was more than enough room to move about - nice open concept. Loved all the woodwork. No hassle access to the lake with our kayaks. Only downside was that you couldn't swim directly in front of the lake, as it's very shallow and a lot of reeds. But it was good for hopping on a tube and floating around! Bob was very hospitable and stopped by to be sure we had everything we needed. Thanks, Bob! Will definitely consider coming back again.

We had a wonderful week on the lake. After spending A LOT of time at home lately, it was nice to have new surroundings. We enjoyed the lake, the kayaks, the fire pit, yard games, and the well-equipped house. The house is clean and comfortable with enough space for a family of four to enjoy. We highly recommend a visit.
