A pleasant spot for a big group!
Review Submitted: August 19, 2008
Date of Stay: August 2008
We rented the house for a week in August 2008 and were pleased with nearly every aspect of our stay. The house was far larger than we needed for our group of seven adults and two children; I think it could comfortably hold at least four or five additional people. The layout of the house is perfect for a big group, with enough room that no one felt crowded. The well-equipped kitchen was great for preparing dinners for a big group; we also used the gas grill outside. The laundry facilities were also useful and let us pack less than we would have otherwise needed.
The only drawbacks for us were that the lawn was very long when we arrived and wasn't mowed for several days. Also, the lake is higher than usual for this time of year and so the sandy beach was under water and the dock nearly floated away. Still, we were able to swim and kayak and enjoy the lake.
The house is a nice walk from the village of Alburg, which is VERY small but does have some basic groceries and shops. You'll find better grocery shopping in St. Albans, which is about 20-25 minutes away. We did day trips to Montreal, Burlington and some Quebec wineries. All were about a one-hour drive from the house, and the nearest border crossing was very easy to navigate.
