Memorable Family Time Together

Our family had a wonderful time together at Kelsey House, especially "White Christmas". I strongly recommend Kelsey House to everyone who wants relaxing vacation in Vermont. We were very impressed by cleanness and welcoming atmosphere. Also, communication with Jack and Nicole (Jack's assistance) was excellent. Thank you, Jack and Nicole!

Peaceful getaway

Kelsey House is a wonderful lakeside property. The grand rap-around porch was most enjoyable. Everything was top- notch and Jack was a generous host. We much enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend this property. Our little dog enjoyed her stay as well. Great getaway, a true treasure.

Most Relaxing Week

Had an amazing time with the family at the Kelsey House. The house itself was beautiful with the wrap-around porch and the amazing views. The walk through with Jack regarding the history of the house was great and kept in immaculate condition. Received tons of information from Jack throughout the week about the area so we could easily navigate the best spots. Highly recommend Kraemer & Kin for a casual dinner out. The fishing (kayak) was fantastic. Tons of smallmouth & largemouth bass (several personal bests). I would highly recommend if you want to just get away from it all and enjoy what life it meant to be.

Serene views of Lake Champlain from a picture perfect porch

My husband, daughter and I spent an absolutely lovely week at Kelsey House on Grand Isle. Even the couple of rainy days were well spent just reading on the huge wrap-around back porch. The property has been beautifully maintained and Jack was an ideal host - always just a text away if we had a question. If you want a relaxing, peaceful stay on Lake Champlain, this is the place. We also highly recommend the sandwiches at Heroes Welcome in North Hero!

Enjoyable and relaxing

Kelsey House was wonderful. You walk in and immediately feel at home and you begin to relax. Jack has provided you with everything you could possibly need for your stay and was such a great host. I slept in the master bedroom and I had the best sleep each night, so comfortable. One of our favorite places to eat was at The Blue Paddle Bistro in South Hero. The food was delicious and everyone was pleasant. The night we went they had music, she was great and entertaining. I highly recommend you at least try this once during your stay. We highly recommend this lovely home for your vacation. Enjoy!

Serenity on the lake

From the moment we were greeted by Jack, our stay at the Kelsey House was outstanding in every way. The house is stunning, down to every detail, you can feel the history and love that it holds which is very appealing to me, it evokes a feeling of “home”. Jack is a gracious host attending to any request or need. There is no doubt we will be back.

Vermont Bliss

What a fabulous, relaxing vacation! Not only is Jack the warmest of hosts, the lakeside location is quintessential Vermont at its best! The front porch and the dock were our favorite resting spots post biking, swimming or hiking. We had our dog, Cado with us and if he could write, the stories he would tell! (One small request would be better lighting in the living room. ) We already reserved for next year. Thank you Jack!

Heaven on Earth

What an absolutely glorious time we had at Kelsey House for a few weeks this past August. Jack was away visiting family when we arrived, and we were met by the charming housekeeper, Nicole, who welcomed us and introduced us to the charms of this beautiful house and property. We never wanted to leave! I wrote to Jack and told him that I hope he knows a good, local excavation company, because he was going to have to hire them to get us out at the end of our stay (I have never said such a thing before!). His response was that he wasn’t too concerned about any trouble, because the next guests coming in were returnees, and that they were highly motivated! (LOL!) Anyway, I think that little exchange says quite a lot for the irresistible charm of the place. It was an outstanding visit, and we truly cannot wait to return! Thank you, so very much, Jack, and thank you also to the lovely Nicole! We will be back!

Paradise Found

To say we had a great time is an understatement. With its expansive view of the lake, abundant gardens (the peonies were intoxicating), and birds singing from every tree, Kelsey House is a sensory delight. Indoors, every spacious, light-filled room is the perfect blend of comfort and graceful style. We appreciated many thoughtful details: the fresh cut flowers, the dog bed in the living room that our pup quickly claimed as her own, and even the upstairs laundry basket. Jack is the quintessential host – genuine, kind, and available but not at all intrusive - and we are exceptionally grateful for his willingness to share his beautiful home. Though we wished we could have stayed just a little longer, we packed our bags without regret, certain that we’ll be back.

Lakeside tranquility

My husband and I chose this property due to it's location being ideally situated for the total eclipse on April 8. And it was absolutely perfect! While we couldn't take full advantage of all the property had to offer due to it being off season, we still loved the peacefulness of sitting lakeside on the front porch during sunset. Jack is an amazing host and the property is perfectly appointed with anything and everything you need...even a dog bed for my senior boy! My only minor observations are that the TV is a bit small for the size of the room. In the summertime that wouldn't be an issue (the best view is outside the window!) but since we had a lot of spring rain during our stay the TV was our only option. Additionally, I would have liked some ottomans or footstools to elevate my feet since my husband commandeered the only recliner. Despite these two things, we were both extremely comfortable and relaxed during our stay. I would highly recommend this property!

Iconic Champlain Lake House

A truly memorable property on Grande Isle. We had a wonderful stay, and as my youngest son would say, provided memories that one will take to the grave. Anything I write cannot do justice to the property; from the spectacular lake views from the the wrap around porch to the shale beach. Wonderful opportunities to kayak to nearby islands. Our dog loved the beach and the hay fields across the road. The host, Jack, was accommodating, meticulous - wonderful to talk to and very knowledgeable about the history of Lake Champlain from the times of early settlements, indigenous peoples to present day Vermont. Always available, if any needs arose. The only problem was that we had to leave after a week. Looking forward to returning to Kelsey House as often as possible. It is the property that you wish you owned.

extraordinary stay

Kelsey House exceeded our expectations in every way! As soon as we saw our first sunset from the amazing porch we immediately felt the stress of "real life" ebbing away.Lazy breakfasts and long cocktail hours/dinner on the porch were the highlight of each day, as was walking our dogs down Adams Landing Road. There was plenty to do when we left the property, which had everything you could possibly need in a lake house- high quality bedding, towels, kitchen and bathroom supplies etc. We do want to mention that when VRBO's advertise "well-stocked" it often means "cluttered" and this was anything but the case. Jack very kindly welcomed our dogs and had a nice bed, bowls and dog towels (it was raining) on hand We had a lovely time learning about the history of the property and meeting Jack's son but, as others have said, we had complete privacy. Honestly can't think of any flaws and hope to be back! Thank you, Jack.

A wonderful escape to a Vermont paradise

We stayed here for two weeks. Jack, our host, was very easy to communicate with. (Even when I accidentally set off the smoke detector. Twice. :-/ ) His directions to the property were helpful, and any time we had a question, he answered quickly. The property itself was just lovely. It is an old Victorian that has been meticulously maintained and upgraded. Jack has thought of *everything* we could want. Over and over, I would think, "I sure wish I had ____." And then I would look in a drawer or closet and discover that it was right there! We wanted for nothing. (And if we did, Jack was quick to address our request and make sure we had what we needed.) For those who care about such things, the WiFi was up to our kids' standards - no small thing - which meant we had a stress-free vacation. We enjoyed daily kayak trips around the shores of Grand Isle. And when the weather wasn't cooperating, we had a stunning view and a cozy place to enjoy the rain. Last, but not least, we wanted sunset views across Lake Champlain, and boy did this property deliver! We enjoyed stunning views across the lake each night as the sun set on Adams Point, with the colors reflecting off the lake through the autumn-hued trees. I can't recommend this home more highly. It's a perfect retreat.

Peaceful location, Beautiful sunset views, Responsible & friendly owner, Reliable internet

We are a family of four (2 adults, 2 kids) and stayed at the Kelsey House for just over 2 weeks to explore the area while homeschooling and working. Aside from wanting a comfortable, beautiful location, we needed fast, reliable internet, and the Kelsey House delivered. We worked/schooled in the morning, and explored Vermont in the afternoon. It was perfect. Jack is a fabulous and friendly host, and responded to every question we had in a very timely manner. He goes out of his way to ensure guests are comfortable. He is in the adjoining residence, but keeps a low profile. The kitchen is fully equipped with everything one would need. Toaster, toaster oven, waffle maker, coffee pot, blender, pots, pans, all eating and cooking utensils. Jack provides all linens, and even toiletries should you forget anything. Laundry is on the main floor, and detergent is provided. I have never stayed in a vacation rental this well-stocked. The wraparound porch looks out onto the lake, and is private from the adjoining residence. Beautiful sunset views of the Adirondacks. Two stand up paddle boards, a sit-in kayak, and a tandem kayak are provided...along with personal flotation devices. The king-size bed in the master bedroom is very comfortable. There is also desk in the master bedroom which my husband used while working. The location is safe, beautiful, and in a rural area, but not far from amenities. Grocery stores, restaurants, and gas stations are just a few minutes away. We cannot say enough nice things about this gem. We would love to come back because we missed it even before we left! Thank you, Jack!

Second Stay!

This was our second year staying at Kelsey House, and we will certainly be back again - it is simply a slice of heaven and just so peaceful. You can tell how much love went into curating this property, and the attention to detail makes this for an incredibly restorative stay. We enjoyed coming back after daily hikes and enjoying a drink while watching the incredible sunsets, and our pup loved the long walks around Adams Landing. We will be back - thank you Jack!

Storybook Setting

Kelsey House, directly on Lake Champlain, is clearly a well-loved and spacious property. It's comfortable, well-equipped, has a wonderful host (Jack) who lives next door (and thus oversees the care of the property himself), and has peerless views and vibes. It's quiet, idyllic, and restful. My husband and I were able to have a mini-family reunion with our daughter and son-in-law, and it was as close to perfect as could be. We loved it.

A little piece of heaven in Vermont!

We stayed at Kelsey House for 2 weeks and it was an incredible experience. The owner, Jack, is amazing and always available to answer any questions and do whatever he can to enhance your stay. The pictures are wonderful and accurately portray the lovely property but seeing it in person makes you realize that the pictures don’t do it justice. The property is sprawling and filled with so many varieties of perennials that just make you smile. The sunsets are simply amazing and you will find yourself waiting on the gorgeous wrap around porch each evening just to watch it. The house is so warm and inviting and has a fully stocked kitchen with everything you could possibly need. The house has A/C but we chose not to use it because we wanted to listen to the birds singing and the sound of the waves splashing on the rocks of your private beach, which also provides a wonderful breeze on a warm day. Being able to bring our Boston Terrier was also important to us and we were able to do so as they allow small pets with owner approval. We can’t wait to visit again!
