Charming is an understatement when describing this remodeled and perfectly located lake house on 3 flat acres. The original house was completely remodeled and a contemporary addition added in 2018. The house lends itself to extended family and friends as there are 3 bedrooms plus a den, each with it's own private bath. The inviting chef's kitchen has top of the line Thermador appliances and local Vermont marble countertops. There is a large farm table in the dining room which can comfortably seat 8. My favorite room in the house is the screened in porch. There is a large dining table as well as an oversized porch swing for curling up with a book and a cup of coffee in the morning or a glass of wine in the evening while enjoying the westerly views directly across the lake to the beautiful Adirondacks. There is also a large outdoor deck for entertaining with beautiful teak furniture. The house is wired with a Sonos sound system and wifi and has two Apple TV's. We have fallen in love with the town of Vergennes which is a short 10 minute drive away. There are many delicious restaurant options to choose from as well as shops that specialize in Vermont products. The college town of Middlebury is a 25 minute drive and Burlington is 45 minutes. The Basin Harbor Club is 7 miles up Lake Drive, or a short boat ride from the dock or deep water mooring. The Champlain Bikeway is right outside the door which provides world class road and gravel biking. There is also great hiking at Snake Mountain Trail Head which is a 10 minute drive from the house. Water activities are easily accessed down the stairs to the lake where we have a dock and deep water mooring. There is an outdoor shower for rinsing off after an active day. There is a lake side fire pit for evening cocktails and watching the sunset over the lake and Adirondacks. There is a grass landing strip next door but we are not aware of any active use (we have never seen a plane).

Our stay in Panton was truly remarkable. An incredible, immaculate, beautifully renovated farmhouse directly on Lake Champlain, with a dock, a wide open field and and a great fire pit to watch the nightly sunsets. The house was pristine, with comfortable bedding, sumptuous furnishings and all the amenities you could ever want. We cooked dinner on the gas grill, chilled our beverages in the wine fridge and listened to music on the speaker system each night. Mornings were spent sipping coffee on the screened in porch and listening to the loons on the lake, with long walks in nearby trails in the afternoon. The location was easily accessible and our check in was effortless. Amanda, our host, was always readily available for any questions we had about the house and nearby locale, and we can’t wait to visit this unique, incredibly beautiful home again soon. Truly one of the best experiences we have ever had on VRBO. Thank you so much Amanda!

A beautiful home with open, expansive views of Lake Champlain and the Adirondacks beyond. The house has a true cook's kitchen, the furnishings are comfortable and there are plenty of places for all the family to relax and look out at the lake or nearby meadows. We ran on dirt roads, kayaked in the lake and hiked trails just a few miles away. My son was doing online schooling and Wifi was awesome! The owner, Amanda is an excellent host- providing us with all the information we needed to enjoy our stay.
This is a very well appointed and wonderful home. The property is beautiful and quiet. The owner was a pleasure to deal with. We highly recommend and look forward to returning.
The lake house was an ideal escape. We relished in the peaceful pace of Panton by day and the stunning sunsets every night. So elegantly comfortable-we’d love to return!
We had a great stay at the Vermont Gravel House! The yard is huge and we were able to play outside with our 3 year old as well as enjoy the screened in porch in the evenings. The view is to die for and the private dock is perfect for swimming - we were able to swim a good area while not being too deep!
The house itself is impeccable- it was like living in luxury for a week! We were a group of 7 adults and 1 3 year old and we never felt on top of each other. There is more than enough space!
Nothing was spared in the designing and furnishing of this beautiful home in an ideal location. Absolutely gorgeous and comfortable. Lots of different places to be alone or convene inside and out. The lake and mountain view and sunsets were heavenly. Amanda was so helpful and gracious. We will be back!!
We have stayed many beautiful places but this house gets the award for interior design and gorgeous furnishings! My favorite part was all the glistening water views of Lake Champlain throughout the house. It’s perfectly peaceful here with unforgettable sunsets. We walked, hiked, biked, paddled, swam, and boated. The owner could not have been more lovely!
Thank you for sharing your home—
Words do not do justice to this magical location or to the ease with which I worked with the owner. Beyond my wildest dreams. This is heaven! Thank you!!!
I hesitated to write a review of this property because it is so wonderful and I am afraid that it won't be available when I want to go back. This house is gorgeous - beautifully restored and furnished. There is everything you could want and more. The house has comfortable beds and large bedrooms. The kitchen is beautifully equipped and very easy to work in. Seating is located in multiple areas indoors, on the screened porch, on the deck, on the lawn and on the dock. The location is so pretty right on Lake Champlain with fantastic views of the lake and across to the mountains in New York. The check in process is very easy and any questions are answered immediately. Enjoy a wonderful stay. We can't wait to go back.
This is an amazingly beautiful property on the lake in the Vergennes area of the Champlain Valley. Immaculately decorated yet very comfortable. Wonderful access to the lake and only 50 min from Burlington. A peaceful get-away yet with access to hiking, biking, skiing, lake activities and within reasonable distance to Middlebury/Burlington for more action. Vergennes is a lovely place to dine & shop as well. The manager is very considerate as well. Beautiful sunsets to top it all off!
