Here's what one of our guests said about Island View: " Island View was the perfect get away vacation. The porch was just the place to enjoy morning coffee while watching the sunrise. The cottage has all the comforts of home. The well equipped kitchen enabled us to cook wonderful meals. We took long walks along the shore of Lake Champlain and had the treat of seeing a full rainbow. Thank you for sharing this idyllic spot with us."

Lake Champlain vacation

We were very impressed with everything about the cottage. It was extremely clean and well organized with everything we needed. The porches were fantastic for relaxing after dark without the bugs. The hosts were very accommodating and left many tips for things to do in the area. We had a great stay.

Great vacation!

Everything was as listed. Mary and John were very helpful, pleasant, and responsive hosts. The cottage itself was very comfortable and well thought-out. The beds were comfortable, and the shower was great -- two very important things to me in a rental. There's a lot to do in the area. I would recommend this cottage to just about everyone, whether you're looking for a quiet week by the lake, sight-seeing, fishing, hiking, and/or biking. Enjoy!

Lovely Lake Cottage

Simply put, Island View Cottage is just perfect! The views of Lake Champlain are wonderful, the location is quiet and peaceful, yet handy to the bike trail, the General Store and other necessities. The cottage itself is quite comfortable and well equipped. We loved sitting out on the screened porch to have our coffee or to read and relax most of all. Mary, the owner, was so very friendly and helpful, answering any questions we had. We highly recommend Island View Cottage!

Wonderful stay

We were extremely pleased with the cottage! It was exactly as pictured - even better. It was very clean and had all the amenities you could think of. We spent many hours sitting in the screened-in porch enjoying the wonderful view of both the beautiful yard and the lake. Mary and John, the owners, live next door on the same property and were friendly and attentive without being intrusive. We look forward to returning someday

This is one of the nicest properties we've ever visited! Not only are Mary and John lovely and kind hosts, they have created a beautiful space that is well thought-out, clean, and comfortable. The cabin is perfect for a small family. The grounds are so pretty with easy access to the lake/dock down sturdy stairs. We kayaked and swam and saw all kinds of wildlife. Don't hesitate - this IS the spot!

Charming home on lake Champlain!

The house was perfect for a family of four. They utilized all space available. It worked out great for a family of 4. We loved the screened in porches and the well landscaped yard. The kitchen was well stocked with everything you could possibly need. We loved the outdoor shower! Lake Champlain did not disappoint. We caught many different types of fish and enjoyed exploring the little islands. We also found at the gas station to the north makes homemade fudge! Thursdays is the best day to go. Overall I would recommend this cottage for anyone. Mary and John were great in helping with the litte things, and just sent the nicest messages or checked in to make sure we were good!

beautiful stay for our daughters wedding

This is an immaculate cottage with plenty of room for 4 adults. Owners updates take full advantage of every inch of space (albeit lacking in any closet) ..extra special are the French doors in each of the 2 bedrooms with adjoining and private screened porch. Perfect location close to family staying at nearby inn. Generous host, great communication. We had a wonderfully relaxing stay :)

Beautiful, well appointed, cottage!

We absolutely loved our stay here at Island View cottage. The location was off the beaten path which we liked. The cottage was spotless and very comfortable. The property is well cared for and there are steps going down to the lake. Unfortunately, we weren't able to swim since it rained most of our stay---but this gives us an excuse to go back! Getting back to inside the cottage, we were very happy with the well appointed kitchen, the shower pressure was good and the bed was comfortable. The couch was comfortable too. Mary and John, the owners are the nicest people and are very knowledgeable about the area. They live on the premises and were quick to respond to any of our questions or needs. We definitely want to come back next year!

Perfect getaway

This is a little gem in North Hero. The accommodations were excellent. It is updated, immaculate and very nicely decorated. You are provided with everything that you need for your stay except food and personal things. The beach is very clean but rocky. I would encourage wearing water shoes. The kayaks and paddleboard were so much fun! The hosts were very kind and attentive but also gave us our privacy.

a wonderful week

The property was beautiful--private despite being on Mary and John's property and easy to access the lake, a short drive from the town of North Hero. We spent hours down at the lake with the kids kayaking, swimming, building rock sculptures, enjoyed ice cream or a Vermont beer on the screened in porch, cooked easy dinners in the kitchen, and were able to do all the laundry we accumulated from our adventures. Mary and John were kind and welcoming and the house had board games, books (including kids' books) and everything else we needed for the handful of rainy days. I'd go back in a heartbeat!

Lovely Second Stay

This was my second visit to Island View cottage. I first visited with a friend back in Sept 2018 and never forgot how wonderful the cottage, hosts and location were. When I was looking for a place to spend time with my mom and cousins I knew this was the perfect spot. We had a great time and everything was as great as I remembered. I look forward to returning sometime in the future.

Amazing Week at the Lake

I can not say enough about how wonderful of a time my family had while staying at the cottage. John and Mary went above and beyond as gracious hosts; offering recommendations, as well as sharing produce from their garden and bringing over candles when there was a storm coming. (We never did lose the power but it was nice that they thought of us.) The cottage was incredibly clean (very important to me) and well-thought out. I loved the view of the sunrise through the screened porches. My husband loved the outdoor shower. And our four year old daughter loved the play structure and swings. We ALL made good use of the lake - swimming, kayaking and paddle-boarding. We definitely hope to return to this property at some point in the future. Thank you, John and Mary!
