About this property

The Big-Lake Lodge at Lake Champlain

Bring the whole family to this great place with lots of room for fun. The size of this home is perhaps its most unique benefit. Very few properties have the open space to host 14 guests without the property feeling "crowded". This property is so large that at times guests may wonder where the kids went....and they are just upstairs in their game room having fun or playing pool.

Rural lakefront neighborhood.
We ask of you upon departure that all food is removed from fridge & freezer.
Trash is taken care of.
Appliances are all off.
Gather dirty linen and put it in the bathroom.
Double check for any personal belongings. If anything is left behind the item will be mailed to you and you will be charged shipping fees.

Everything from the house, to the view, to the vibe was perfect. Lake living at its finest. This is a peaceful and quiet place. It has ample space to stretch out and breathe but also quality open space to gather the whole group. Looking forward to returning again!

A week on Lake Champlain
We had a lovely family reunion at the cabin. The view is spectacular, the water was lovely for swimming, and the cabin was very comfortable with air conditioning, many comfortable places to sit indoors and out doors with a screened in porch. The pool table was a big hit, and we throughly enjoyed a visit to Ausable Chasm and Rolf's Farm Store.

Shout out for Value, Ease, Comfort, and Solace
Our stay was better than we could have hoped for. The property was clean and welcoming. There were no issues with any appliace or amenity. The house was cool, comfortable, and huge . The walk to the beach is like stadium steps steep, but not difficult and well worth it. The mangers were very clear and responsive. The town is quaint and welcoming. The price was well worth it. We had an 20s couple, a 20s, male, a 40s couple, and one teen and one child. Consider costs... the value was unquestionable. Highly recommended this place and the group of managers. Will definitely return.

House is nice! But the master bathroom is not in the master suite. If you have kids in the bunkbed room, they use the same bathroom. There’s a little hard in the middle of the night sometimes. 31 stairs going down to the lake, which was never talked about in their Verbo profile.

Truly Lovely
The house location was gorgeous. The description definately matched the listing. There were 8 of us, 4 adults, 3 children, and an infant. It was too big for us, but it was nice having lots of space too. Everyone loved the kayaks,and paddle boards! The lake is spectacular! There were a few little things that we found lacking. The shower door handle in small bathroom near laundry was broken when we arrived, a paddle board oar was missing. The screened in porch is great, we spent a lot of time there, but really dirty floor, cobwebs and spiders. There was broken glass in the fire pit. I reported all to property managers. They were very responsive, but not fixed while we were there.

Beautiful Views and Spacious House For Everyone
The Big-Lake Lodge at Lake Champlain was the perfect getaway for my family and my brother's. We were a party of 10 and were completely comfortable in a spacious 2 story house with high ceilings. The views of Lake Champlain from the back porch are spectacular! The house and its surroundings are so peaceful and picturesque. Only issues we had were flies in the house but that's to be expected when you're on the water and in a forest area but Barbara provided fly tape and that mostly fixed the problem. Overall stay was fantastic and we would definitely come back!

Weekend Getaway
Had a long weekend get together with a handful of friends for my buddies bachelor party. Was nervous about the house not being big enough for 8-9 men but it ended up being more than enough. The house is HUGE and the pictures do not do it justice. House and property were overall very clean and the view to the lake was amazing. Very private property too - tree line on both sides and can abrely see any other houses. The property manager Beth was very responsive with any questions I had as well. Cannot say enough good things about this listing. Thank you!!

Relaxation
If you are looking for a very relaxing place to stay away from everyone i highly recommend here. Its very secluded with an amazing view to wake up.tp every morning. It's also very spaced out so you and who ever you go with aren't all on top of one another.

Plenty of space
The house was very large and clean. Plenty of space for the 7 we had. Unfortunately, the weather did not cooperate much for us. We had rain and a couple days where the air quality was at safe levels for outside activities, and the water levels changed drastically due to all the weather (during all the flooding VT was experiencing but the lake was able to handle it). We made due. We were able to catch a sunrise and it was beautiful. The only complaint that we had was that there are no bath tubs for bathing younger children. It is a fantastic house and within 30 minutes of major cities. Definitely recommend staying here if you can.

Beautiful!
Our large family group had a wonderful time enjoying swimming, paddle boarding, kayaking and boating and fishing. It was worth getting up predawn just to see the gorgeous sunrise from the large deck. The house was very spacious with comfortable beds and seating. We like that the boat landing was so close by though if there had been a dock or mooring for our boat at the property it would have been an added plus. A visit to the close by Ausable Chasm and Highland Winery made our list plus there were a couple of nearby disc golf courses that made our list of activities. This was by far one of our family’s favorite vacation houses and we would certainly love to come back again.

Great views, large space for family
Overall the stay at this lake house was nice. It had plenty of space for my entire family (7 adults) to hangout and sleep. The back deck view of the lake is amazing. Plenty of areas around the house to hangout especially when it rained. Things that could be improved upon with be the screened in porch. The porch was covered in dust, pollen and dirt so we had to clean all the furniture and tables before enjoying it. Also, they gave us a ‘starter supply’ of paper towels and trash bags which was only 1 roll of paper towels and 2 trash bags for a family of 7 for 5 nights. We had to go out and purchase more. The clean out process was slightly confusing as the check out process online was different than the book in the house. Something that people with pets should know is that the neighbors dog ‘Wilbur’ comes into the property daily and will explore the deck and yard. It was a pain to deal with our dogs and Wilber. I know the property owner cannot do much about the neighbors dog however future guests should know. Overall a good stay but definitely some things that could be improved for the price point of the house.

Great way to create memories with the family!!!!
The house was awesome! The large floorplan enabled privacy when people wanted it and large community areas for socializing! The childrens quarters were perfect, their own lake views and attached to the game room. The large decks provided us with so many beautiful lake views and we loved the kayaks for some relaxing time on the water. I also loved catching a larger laketrout than my brother!!

Nice, spacious, quiet area
This property was great for a large group. Plenty of sleeping and dining space. 3 bathrooms with 3 showers was a big plus with a large group. Definitely glad we were advised to bring water shoes as the beach area is very rocky however having a little section of Lake Champlain to ourselves was amazing!

Beautiful Fall Stay in the Adirondacks
8 Adults and 1 pup had plenty of room to enjoy picture perfect fall weather in a beautiful location. Enjoyed the cottage on the lake which included kayaking, bonfires on the beach. Great area to take walks. We made daytrips to Burlington, Lake Placid, and Plattsburg. Went to the Ausauble Chasm. Lots of breweries to choose from when we didn't cook and wanted to explore. We only skimmed the surface of all there is to do. Very comfortable beds. Very nicely furnished and gorgeous views.

This is an amazing property. It suited our needs perfectly to visit with family in the area. The house is huge. The views of the lake and sunrises are a bonus. Spectacular. Use of kayaks and paddle boards added to the fun. The kitchen is well-stocked with plates, utensils, pots, pans, etc. Bring extra toilet paper and paper towels, napkins, zip locks, foil etc. Overall, an amazing property. We’re already talking about coming back to this property next year.

Beautiful Lake House
Truly enjoyed our time with family and friends at this perfectly located waterfront house. It was just right for our group with enough separate rooms for privacy, shared linving spaces and water access. We loved watching the sunrise with coffee in the morning and fires on the rocky beach as the sun set. Its also near a brewery and winery so another plus! Loved our visit and would recommend to others looking to have a large group get together.

Stunning Views
My three grown sons and I had an excellent week at this house. The views are amazing, as the house is up on the side of the mountain. The steps to the water would require vigilance with young children, assistance for the elderly. The beds are very comfortable, no cheap mattresses. The furniture is also really comfortable in the living room with a large tv. The house has a water dispenser and all the jugs were provided. Canisters of propane were also provided for the gas grill. Loved the screened in porch with the comfy furniture and the master deck as well. I loved waking up and seeing the lake from the master bed! We kayaked, ate healthy dinners at the house, explored the Chasm, played golf, explored Burlington… so much to do from this gorgeous house! The nearest grocery store on late Saturday is 20 min away so bring some food to get started! Not many restaurants around either. Its a well-stocked, beautiful house to spend some time. Highly recommend it.

Annual Lake Champlain Getaway
House was huge and gave us all space to not feel on top of each other. Upon arriving I emailed the host to make them aware of a couple items that in no way affected our stay but I just wanted documented. Immediately someone was sent out to address the “issues”. I was very impressed with the promptness and attention we were given. Thank you!
