About this property

Historic Lake Champlain Four Bedroom 2.5 Bath Lake House

This beautiful four bedroom lake house is located on 1.5 acres in Cumberland Head. It offers lake access, with amazing views of Lake Champlain and the Green Mountains of Vermont. It has extremely fast internet service. Guests should be comfortable navigating stairs.

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.

The downstairs of the house was renovated with new floors, walls, lighting, and tongue & groove wood ceilings. There is a full bath downstairs. The renovated upstairs has four bedrooms and 1.5 baths. Three bedrooms have queen beds, the fourth bedroom has a twin bed. There is a pull-out sofa in the downstairs common room.

Note: if you need more space, I also offer the guest cottage for rent under a separate listing.

This property is very quiet and serene. Over an acre of green space gently sloping down to a private slate shoreline. Unmatched views of the lake and the Green Mountains abound.

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. Unlike many areas, there are no summer crowds.

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.

The property is truly a hidden gem on beautiful Cumberland Head.

An undeniable value
The property was well kept and all the cabinets were extremely well labeled. The provided streaming services made the stay a breeze. The only complaint possible is with google maps telling me the house was on the wrong side of the road.

Family vacation
We stayed at the house late in December. The house was warm when we arrived and even though it is quite big the heating is excellent. The house itself is very comfortable with options to enjoy time together and alone.

Saranac River & Lake Champlain
The house is located on Cumberland Road with lake access. For my party it was perfectly located for canoeing the Saranac River and Lake Champlain. The house was large enough for our seven man group and had all the necessities we needed. I would definitely recommend this house for anyone looking to have access to the Plattsburgh area and Lake Champlain.

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 now 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. 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 space to park one boat, jet ski, etc. at the top of the property near the detached garage. Please use only the main, north driveway. There is an external outlet on the detached garage, and spigot on the guest cottage available for your use. 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.
