Great fall stay
Stayed here with my mom, 3 year old son, and our 2 dogs for a few nights. It was absolutely perfect for my son. He had a blast with all of the toys in the loft area and running around with the dogs outside. Sunsets on the deck were incredible. Very cozy, family friendly house. Communication with the host was great too.

Magical property
When I walked into the house, I thought, Ï could live here! What a cozy, magical and comfortable place. We loved everything about it and will be staying here whenever I come up to visit my daughter at UVM. She spent hours studying in front of the fire while we made apple crisp. Saturday morning when we woke up there was a full rainbow outside where you could see both ends. Home is clean, comfortable and fabulous!

Lovely view of the lake from the deck
The house is fine. The half bath is teeny tiny. The overall feel of the house is that it is old and a little neglected. The windows and screens were dirty, the stairs to the dock were very old and very steep. There were a few modern updates like the appliances and the granite countertop in the kitchen but other amenities were old…..mismatched old towels, mismatched cutlery, old bedding. It felt like the house needed a refresh. The location is nice down a private road but it was difficult to find! Don’t come after dark.

Beautiful Lakefront Property
There is so much to say about our wonderful stay at the deck house. The views and sunsets are unmatched and the access to the water is ver convenient, especially for my young children (and dog). The house itself was the most well equipped rental I’ve ever stayed in. We brought stuff from home that we never even needed. From beach towels to toilet paper to dish detergent. My kids also had a blast with Lego building contests and watching old VHS’ in the loft. Don was very responsive to questions that we had as well. A must visit!

Great family stay
We had a wonderful stay on Mallets Bay. Having previously stayed at the house next door (owned by the same host) we knew we could expect a clean property and this delivered. There was plenty of space for all 5 of us. The open floor plan allowed our toddler and dog ample running around options and our son was obsessed with the stash of toys upstairs in the loft. Everything was set up for comfort and the views can’t be beat. Looking forward to coming back next year!

Fabulous Serene accommodation
Correspondence with the owner was quick and informative, arrival went flawless. Property is private and do peaceful. House was spotless and had all you could want and more. Sat on the deck watching the lake, sunsets, waking up to birds and a view to make you just want to stay. I would recommend this lovely property to everyone.

Porter Point Paradise
The house is beautiful, comfortable and welcoming. It's right on the lake in a quiet neighborhood, but minutes from Burlington. My husband, I and 2 friends enjoyed activities in the area during the day and time at the house in the evening. The well-appointed kitchen made it easy to cook dinners and the dining table afforded beautiful views of the lake and sunsets as we ate. We went at this time of year with hopes of seeing some Northern Lights. While the conditions and weather were not cooperative for that, we spent one evening with hot chocolate out on the deck gazing at the stars. Many thanks to Diane and Don for sharing their beautiful home. I highly recommend this property and would stay there again next time I'm in the area.

Nice trip to Burlington (UVM)
Home was warm and inviting. Locaton is close to Burlington and University of Vermont. Local area has all you need. Restaurants, grocery shopping, gas and pubs are all with a few miles. House is on Lake Champlain with beautiful sunsets. It was a great place to get away.

We loved our time at this house! My only complaint is being told at booking that the dock wasn’t in yet and therefore made boating a challenge. I would rent this house again-it provided a lovely opportunity for our family to be together, clean, spacious, and beautiful, quiet location.
