Getting Around:
A car or bike is the best solution for getting around. However, there is one public bus that runs from the Post Office in Ausable Forks to the Government building in downtown Plattsburgh. It runs between 7 am and 7 pm with 4 stops per day. (Keesville/Ausable bus line)

Wonderful Memories

My husband, I and our two granddaughters, ages 7 and 15, had an absolutely wonderful 2 day stay. Very comfortable accommodations, spectacular view and location right on Lake Champlain. We never turned on the TV and the girls were happy to play games and learn how to play foosball, which their grandfather and I grew up on! Communication with our host, Jon

LoZa House was fabulous 10/10!

We stayed at the LoZa House for a long weekend for a cousins weekend (ages 13,17,26,27). We had a lovely time! The listing is accurate, the place was clean & the view is absolutely gorgeous! Jon & Sergio were extremely attentive and while we only had one request during our stay (to increase the hot tub temp) they did it immediately and were so lovely! We didn't need to ask for anything, because everything was already there! The space is actually bigger than I thought and everything is strategically laid out. We didn't really use the kitchen but it appeared everything we would've needed was there! It's the little things to me and the water pressure and water temp in the shower was so so wonderful ha! You can spend your day on the lake in their kayaks,paddle boats, etc. or you can explore the area. There isn't too much to do in Plattsburgh itself but it's a quick drive to Burlington, VT and to Lake Placid. Ausable Chasm is a super close destination where you can do water activities and an adventure trail. We did ziplining and boating in Lake Placid about an hour away. You can tell Jon and Sergio truly care about your stay & their adorable kiddos even drew us pictures to take home with us to commemorate our stay! You can not go wrong with this rental!

Weekend at the Loza House

We stayed at the wonderful Loza house for the weekend. The unit was beautiful, in excellent condition and very well equipped. The check-in process was seamless and our host, Jon was responsive and a pleasure to deal with. The location was amazing, one of the best on-lake locations we have stayed at over the last few years. Overall everything exceeded our expectations, highly recommend.

Fantastic!!

Our stay at LoZa house was absolutely fantastic! Jon has provided every amenity you could possibly need on your vacation. My family and I have stayed at many VRBO’s in the past around the country and this home is the best by far. Usually you have to pay for extras like the use of a paddle boat, kayaks but these are included in your stay. We enjoyed the use of a private hot tub as well. We loved the screened in porch and spent many hours enjoying the gorgeous Lake Champlain. My daughter celebrated her birthday during our stay and Jon made her a homemade cherry tart (absolutely delicious) and Lorenzo and Zara made her Birthday cards!! Beautiful stay and absolutely the kindest people you could meet! Thank you, John, Sergio, Lorenza and Zara for a incredible vacation, we will be back next year! We miss our little friends already!

Family visit

Jon and Sergio were really great hosts. They greeted us when we arrived and were quick with communication. All questions and concerns were answered in a timely manner. We appreciate the goodies that you brought down to us and my girls enjoyed playing with Zara. We didn't know that we could use your kayaks, but glad we brought our own because there were 7 guests there with only 2 of your kayaks and we were all looking to go on the water at the same time. We were also hopoing to have a dock to fish off and a sink to fill up our water bottles in. Overall we had a good experience and appreciated the games during the rainy day.

Book This Property!

Our stay at the LoZa house was absolutely wonderful in every way. We will not hesitate to book this property again. The Adirondack porch was lovely and comfortable. The view of the lake was unbeatable. The space was immaculate and totally updated. The lack of a full kitchen was absolutely no problem at all. We prepared our food using a combination of the grill and the available appliances. Think of it as a high end resort with elements of camping. I cannot say enough positive things about the grounds. Again, you’re getting an upscale resort feel with this rental. There is a hot tub right outside the door of the porch which overlooks the lake, we took advantage of this perk several times. The grounds are grassy with well manicured gardens. Access to the lake via a dock and a Rocky shore made it easy to get into the water for swimming and other water activities. Everyone in my family used the kayaks and pedal boat several times through our stay. We spent each evening relaxing by a fire before returning to the porch to play games. The host family is honestly one of the nicest families I have ever had the pleasure of meeting. Jon was responsive to all my questions in advance of the stay and then was helpful while we settled in. He even made sure to alert us to the absolutely spectacular moon rise on our first night. Our stay felt both private and welcoming. It was capped off with personalized thank you illustrations from Jon and Sergio’s children!

Wonderful Getaway!

Our family stayed for five nights at LoZa House and found it hard to leave! The view from the front porch over Lake Champlain is exceptional, the indoor accomodations were great and filled with personal touches, and the hosts were lovely and so communicative. We enjoyed use of the hot tub and solo stove, peddle boat/kayak, pool table, and had comfortable sleeps. Close proximity to Plattsburgh, Ausable Point+Chasm, River Rentals, Rulfs Orchard and other great day trips. We truly hope we can stay again!

Host profile image
Premier Host :) We are a family of four consisting of us, a gay couple [Jon and Sergio] together for almost 15 years, lucky enough to have children though egg donation and surrogacy. Our home is named in honor of our children with the "Lo" in "LoZa" inspired by our son Lorenzo and with the "Za" in "LoZa" inspired by our daughter Zara. We speak Italian at home and the kids go to French school so we can offer services in English, French and Italian - you just need to let us know what you prefer.

Why they chose this property

Wonderfullly located on a point providing a 270 degree view of Lake Champlain. Quiet country living, but only 12 minute drive from downtown Plattsburgh.

What makes this property unique

Year round beauty of the lake and nature. Fantastic screened in porch during the summer to enjoy the sounds of the lake and being outside without bugs. This beautiful porch is heated in the winter so you can still enjoy the winter views. The year round hot tub is wonderfully soothing as you soak in it's hot water and enjoy the scenery every season of the year.
