OPEN HOUSE this Sunday, October 11th from 10 am - 12 pm! Your Vermont lake getaway is calling! Tucked away on just over an acre near Lake Champlain, this charming seasonal cottage offers an easygoing escape where summer days are meant to be spent outside and evenings are made for relaxing on the screened porch. Inside, the cottage makes smart use of its space with an open kitchen and living area featuring vaulted ceilings, a skylight, plenty of natural light, a kitchen island, and built-in cabinets. Recent improvements include interior painting and repairs, updates to the bedroom with new flooring and ceiling, and electrical upgrades including a new panel. A 3/4 bath completes the interior, while the screened porch and deck extend the living space outdoors. Follow the right-of-way to Lake Champlain for a swim, a paddle, or simply some time by the water. Back at the cottage, the secluded and landscaped 1.07-acre lot gives you plenty of ways to unwind. Pick fresh blueberries, enjoy s’mores around the firepit, or relax on the porch after a day on the lake. An exterior camper hookup adds flexibility, while a shed provides storage for your summer gear. There’s even more to explore nearby. Kamp Kill Kare State Park is just minutes away, where you can enjoy its sandy shoreline and catch the ferry to Burton Island State Park for another Lake Champlain adventure. Currently operated as an Airbnb and offered fully furnished, this property makes it easy to settle in and start enjoying it right away or explore its continued potential as a seasonal rental. Whether you're looking for a personal Vermont escape, a home base for your Lake Champlain adventures, or a furnished seasonal getaway with rental potential, this cottage offers a lot of summer living in a wonderfully compact package.
