Just what we were looking for - quiet and peaceful. The house was very clean and comfortable and Tom and Kathy were great hosts. We highly recommend and would not hesitate to book again.

A nicely appointed, casual cottage with all the amenities of home! Complete with two kayaks! Great location too (short drives to Montreal, Burlington, the Hero Islands, Stowe, etc. for nice daytrips. Lakefront location and some great biking was literally seconds from our driveway.
Our hosts, Kathy and Tom, were helpful (when needed for things like restaurant recommendations), responsive (with one minor cottage issue) and gracious (letting us have our space and quiet.)
Would we rent this lovely cottage from Kathy and Tom again? Yes!!

My wife and I stayed at The Beautiful Lakefront Chalet for a week in June 2023. We were positively surprised, since the cottage seems a little bigger than the photos suggest. Well situated, near the bakery.
The kitchen is really fully equiped, you have everything you need and more... The BBQ is a good Weber, works very well (better than mine at home).
Cyclists: Alburgh gives you access to many rural roads very fun to ride. Isle Lamotte is nearby, North Hero is a beautiful scenic ride. From South Hero, which is about a 30/40 minutes drive, you have access to the cycle paths that bring you to Burlington. Very nice place to spend a day.
At the Chalet, Tom and Kathy have two new Kayaks at your disposable. They are stable ans easy to maneuver. In June the water temperature allows you to swim as long as you want.
Kathy and Tom are very helpful, should you require information or any help. We enjoyed chatting with them a few time.
Conclusion: This is a very recommandable place to stay. From the patio in front of the cottage you have a nice view of the lake to enjoy. Just sit back and relax...
PS: For Canadians, the Cottage is about three miles from the border!

We stayed at Tom and Kathy's cottage for a week in early June and thoroughly enjoyed it. The cottage feels quite spacious and is absolutely immaculate and very well-stocked with kitchen items (even including spices and condiments!) and toiletries. I was a little concerned about it being so close to a busy road, but it was amazingly quiet, especially on the lake-facing side. The bed was comfortable and cosy and the water pressure was excellent. Tom and Kathy were unobtrusive but available the couple of times we had questions--really the perfect hosts.
Alburgh is definitely the most working-class of the Champlain Islands towns, and the opportunities for walking/hiking and kayaking in the immediate neighborhood are more limited than elsewhere in the islands. But there's plenty to do within a very short driving distance, and we really enjoyed the trails at Mississquoi National Wildlife Refuge and the Knights Point and Alburgh Dunes state parks. Just driving around getting to know the area was also really fun. We had day trips to Burlington, St Albans (wonderful downtown), and Plattsburgh, NY and loved the combination of lake views and open farmland in all directions.
We also found that people were just incredibly friendly everywhere we went! Maybe it helped that the tourist season was just getting underway ;-). But we definitely sensed a real community vibe and had lots of interesting conversations with all kinds of people.

My husband and I spent a wonderful week at the Sunset cottage. Kathy and Tom were the perfect hosts and made sure that all that we could want or need was available to us. Special touches, from a basket with coffee and maple syrup waiting for us when we arrived to an immaculately kept home with hotel quality towels and bedding did not go unnoticed. The cottage was well equipped for cooking, both inside and out, on the spotless grill. I spent mornings having my coffee on their lovely deck, while my husband enjoyed fishing off the dock. We also made use of the kayaks while we explored Lake Champlain. The location was perfect, allowing us the opportunity to drive to Burlington, as well as Quebec City and Montreal. This was the 6th property we have rented on the Lake and ,by far, our favorite. We home to return some day soon!

A Great Week
We had a wonderful week at the cottage. The cottage was up-to-date, well equipped, and perfectly located. Kathy and Tom were exceptional hosts who were available, but not intrusive. The location of the cottage allowed us to kayak from the dock every day as well as bike along the Vermont Bikeways that ran parallel to the lake. We spent most mornings on the dock with our coffee and good books and ended our days on the dock watching the wonderful sunsets. A great week!

Charming Cottage with Gorgeous Sunsets
I loved the cottage. It is immaculate, comfortable and very well equipped. Kathy has really paid attention to detail and both Kathy and Tom make you feel at home. I rented the cottage on my own for a 12 day stay. A friend joined me for one night and another friend stayed for 4 nights. I felt secure and comfy throughout my stay. Thank you both for your warm hospitality !!!
