THE MOST RELAXING!

We are originally from upstate N.Y., so when I found Annie’s listing and saw the photos, I knew it was perfect for us. Indeed it was, from the location in Essex where we found unique shops and galleries to ice cream stores and funky bars with perfect water views! We were hooked after being at the original camp where Annie shared history of her beloved summer home. The kitchen had everything……each room was styled in the true Adirondack style….comfortable beds and a sweet secondary cabin for additional guests! Thank you Annie for your beautiful place on Lake Champlain!!

Great cabin by the lake, with lots to do at the beach and town

The house was a comfortable stay. With great areas around the house such as fire pit and screened in porch to visit. 5G Wi-Fi and full fridge, kitchen and microwave.. The cabin is like going back to the lake camps of the day, airie, open, big yard and close to town!

Great weekend

The cottage was rustic but incredibly cozy and exactly what we were looking for as a weekend getaway. The place was exactly as advertised and more. We will definitely look to go back.
