Family Spring Trip

The pictures and videos are on the spot; seeing it in person is BEYOND impressive! We had four adults, three children, and one dog. The house is immaculate, clean, and dust-free. The renovations make the house one of the top five places we have ever stayed. All kitchen cooking, serving, and utensils are uniformed. The decks for coffee and views from the bedrooms make the mornings delightful. The sunsets are striking over the distant mountain range and lake. The kids' multi-bed Room was spacious enough to get away from the adults. The bedding was super comfy in every room. The checkout is at 9 a.m., which is challenging, but they say you can ask for additional time. They do not ask too much before leaving; you can strip bedding, run the dishwasher, and start a load of towels. There are plenty of paper products, trash bags, and cleaning supplies. We have a special needs dog, and entry was just a few steps. There is no “yard” for the dog, but a nice walk down to the water, friendly neighbors, and access if they love water. Don’t worry about no yard; the back decks and access to the water will make up for it!!! Suggestions: Key code for entry (Helpful for multiple guests who arrive at different times or do other things during their stay). Make the Wi-Fi password available on the info sheet, as not everyone knows to look at the router—a few games, cards, and paper/pen for game nights. And I do love a good Guest Journal!!!

Fabulous Lake Champlain Property

Great location with spectacular views of magnificent lake Champlain. Sunsets, Moon sets and everything you could want for an enjoyable get away. Kitchen fully stocked for cooking great meals and the views from the living room are off the charts. Can't wait to return when there is less than a foot of snow on the deck! Still made it out to the Grill and the host could not have been more accomodating. A++

NYE 2023

We had a great stay on Lake Champlain. This VRBO is in a beautiful setting and was a wonderful spot for our family to spend time together during the holiday. The house is very modern and was well equipped to host our extended family of 10.

Lake Champlain family gathering

Lovely home with plenty of beds, large dining room table and lots of seating in the living room. Beautiful view of the lake and mountains out the large picture window. It rained all weekend so we did not spend much time in the deck.

About the host

Hosted by Marty D'Onofrio - Essex, VT - DM me on FB for savings -

My wife and I just love to travel and vacation all over the world. However, we were blessed with a son and needed to settle down. We figured if our travel was limited with the little one we should get a home that has the most vacation fun possible....so we did!This was originally our home and we developed it with TLC we hope that you will find it as warm and comfortable as we did. Oh...the home is very 'child friendly' as well.

Why they chose this property

My wife and I Love life in Vermont. We are huge fans if hiking, boating, skiing and snowmobiling. This house placed us directly in the middle of all of this.

Additionally;Burlington,Middlebury and Vergennes provide a nice mix of culture and entertainment. Fort Ticonderoga is rich in history and just across the bridge to NY. We are centrally located just minutes from cultural & entertainment cities so you may enjoy various activities with your friends and family.

What makes this property unique

This property is unique in so many ways. We can accomodate either small or large parties in total comfort. The layout of the house is conducive to allowing several different groups to gather together while each maintaining their privacy.

We have hosted a few family reunions and our guests always compliment us on the fact that no one feels crowded. With two living rooms, office area, 1600 sq feet of outside decks and a dock different age groups tend to gather at various locations throughout the property. The kids have their own living room, adults their area, BBQing on the deck and others on the dock and in the water all at the same time.

Sunsets are incredible over the Adirondacks are breathtaking. Sunrises over the Green mountains are equally as inviting.

Lake access for boats, cross country skiers, ice fisherman, snowmobilers.
