About this property

Quiet Lake Champlain Cottage on Cumberland Head - 1 Bedroom

A one bedroom cozy guest cottage tucked behind an 19th century farmhouse on a 1.5 acre lake lot. Enjoy the peace and tranquility of Lake Champlain in our guest cottage. Views abound from the many tranquil spots found on this large lake property. The cottage has fast internet service. Guests should be comfortable navigating stairs.

This guest cottage includes access to the lake shoreline - enjoy your morning coffee or a glass of wine in the evening while viewing Lake Champlain and the Green Mountains of Vermont. Take the steps down to the lake to your own private slate beach. There are bicycles and kayaks available on the property for guests to use at no charge.

With four true seasons, there is always something fun to do outside on the Adirondack Coast - swimming, boating, fishing, hiking, camping, bicycling, leaf peeping, skiing, snowmobiling, etc. The Adirondacks, Green Mountains, Montreal, Lake Placid, and Burlington are all an easy drive away. So the number of outdoor sports, festivals, wineries, breweries, concerts, restaurants, museums, and theaters is very high.

This property is very quiet and serene. Over an acre of green space gently sloping down to a private slate beach. Unmatched views of the lake and the Green Mountains abound. The property is truly a hidden gem on beautiful Cumberland Head.

Guests are welcome to pick the apples, blackberries, blueberries, raspberries, and strawberries found on the grounds. But please don't pick the grapes - they are for wine-making.

Cumberland Head is a little known, quiet peninsula surrounded on three sides by Lake Champlain. This lake is the 9th largest natural, fresh-water lake in the United States. Runners, walkers, and bicyclists frequent scenic Cumberland Head Road.

The property is in driving distance to downhill & cross country ski areas in NY and Vermont. The closest downhill/alpine skiing areas are Beartown (~20 minutes), Whiteface (~45 minutes), and Titus (~60 minutes). A little farther afield are slopes in Vermont. Nordic/cross-country skiing areas are much closer. Contact me for details.

Beautiful views, close to anything you could possibly need. Extremely quiet neighborhood, would love to come back in the spring or summer. Host was very responsive and easy to talk to if needed. Would recommend to family.

Lovely Cottage
My husband and I spent 5 nights and days at this cozy cottage on Cumberland Head. It was perfect for the two of us and had everything we needed. It was clean and quiet, set in a lovely area with trees and a vineyard behind the place. We had a wonderful time!

Great stay!
My partner and I wanted a quiet relaxing getaway from the city and chose to stay here. The stay was just that. The property is clean, well maintained and within an hours travel of many natural sites of interest. We were also very close to the ferry to Vermont for day trips there, as well. We very much appreciated all the amenities and cleanliness of this property and the ease to unwind for the week. Thank you very much for a satisfying and relaxing stay, Chris! We definitely would recommend a stay!

About the host

Host profile image
Originally from the Lake Champlain region, I purchased this property to once again experience the beauty of Lake Champlain and the surrounding mountains. I look forward to sharing this unique property with guests.

Why they chose this property

This property is very quiet and serene. Over an acre of green space gently sloping down to a private slate beach. Unmatched views of the lake and the Green Mountains abound. The property is truly a hidden gem on beautiful Cumberland Head.

Cumberland Head is a little known, quiet peninsula surrounded on three sides by Lake Champlain. This lake is the 9th largest natural, fresh-water lake in the United States. Runners, walkers, and bicyclists frequent scenic Cumberland Head Road.

With four true seasons, there is always something fun to do outside on the Adirondack Coast - swimming, boating, fishing, hiking, camping, bicycling, leaf peeping, skiing, snowmobiling, etc. The Adirondacks, Green Mountains, Montreal, Lake Placid, and Burlington are all an easy drive away. So the number of outdoor sports, festivals, wineries, breweries, concerts, restaurants, museums, and theaters is very high.

What makes this property unique

Boaters - there is space to park one boat, jet skis, etc. in the south driveway (do not park in the main, paved driveway - it is for main house guests). You have access to exterior outlets on the main house to charge your batteries, and access to a spigot on the main house to wash down your boat. Please do not tie your boat to the dock.

There are several public places from where you can launch. Here are a few:

1. North of the property is Point Au Roche State Park, Off Route 9 north of Plattsburgh. It has a concrete ramp, and parking for 21 cars and trailers.

2. South of the property is the Wilcox Dock, off Route 9 on Cumberland Avenue. It has a concrete ramp, and parking for 75 cars and trailers.

3. Farther south is the City of Plattsburgh launch. It is off Dock Street in downtown Plattsburgh where the Saranac River meets the lake. It has hard surface ramps and parking for 31 cars and trailers + 12 cars.
