Holiday rentals with lake access in Franklin County

What a stunning stay we had at this little piece of zen. The house sits right next to a lake that's a 3 second walk from front door. The views in the morning were to die for, and made the start of every day perfect. The house is easy to find and has plenty of place to park my car with ease. The house...the house. It was huge space that was immaculately decorated, comprehensively furnished (nespresso machine, drip coffee machine, nutribullet mixer, I can go on). Everything is labeled for ease of finding what you need and how to use it. It's so easy to make yourself at home right away. The bedrooms are upstairs are very private and also is connected to a nice seating area where you can gather together and hang out. Also it has a lovely balcony on this floor as well. The third floor is basically a large apartment on its own. 2 closets, a huge bathroom, a sizable bedroom area and best of all, and great hot tub. I would come back here anytime I could every year with my family

We had a lovely stay at Molly's house on the lake. The area is rural and beautiful; we spent days kayaking, cycling to nearby islands, and just sitting on the back patio enjoying the lake. Molly was responsive and friendly.

We LOVED Jennifer’s place! It was the perfect spot for a family gathering. The home was spotless, all appliances appeared to be new and/or state of the art. The home was warm and comfortable with every amenity you could ask for, and idyllically situated on Lake Champlain. We were in Vermont for UVM commencement weekend. The 30-minute drive to Jenn’s place from Burlington provided a nice respite from all the graduation hubbub. What at first seemed like a drawback (distance) was actually a blessing. We would happily stay here again.

Beautiful property on the lake. The house is well maintained and we felt right at home. Laura was very responsive and helpful.

Chloe was a great host! Checkin was very easy. The location is beautiful. Perfect for my family of 5 and our 2 dogs. Highly recommend!

We stayed at Joe’s with our dog, two cats, and kids and it was a great stay! Joe was very responsive and kind. Would stay again.

Missy’s Airbnb was the perfect vacation spot for our family while we attended my daughter‘s graduation from the University of Vermont. Being from Hawaii we’re used to sun and warmth, but the four days we were there, the weather didn’t cooperate with us as it was rainy and cold! The well stocked game room was a perfect alternative for our grandkids and young adults. Missy was easy to contact, especially when we locked ourselves out of the house. Leaving us Vermont maple syrup was a special touch that was much appreciated! If we are ever in need of a place to stay we would definitely consider staying here again! 🌺

Michelle has always been a great host and her place is always a great place to stay when in town.

This was my second stay, and once again it was absolutely perfect. The host is incredibly kind and helpful—he goes above and beyond to make sure everything is just right. The property itself is straight out of a dream... right on the lake, peaceful, and beautifully kept. I’ve stayed at a lot of places, but this one feels like home—and honestly, it's my dream home. Can’t wait to come back again. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a relaxing, top-notch getaway.

We loved staying at Mike & Liane’s place - it was beautiful, comfortable, and clean, and the proximity to the Lake cannot be beat. We were lucky enough to run into Mike a few times, and he was warm and welcoming. We had such a magical stay!

Absolutely loved our stay! Cute little house with such a gorgeous view! Cannot wait to stay again!

This was my second time to this cottage. It was just as I remembered. The wonderful cottage on the lake kept its cereal scenery. Vermont by default doesnt have a lot of traffic so travel was easy. St Albans was nearby, Burlington and Montpelier to the south, and even took a drive to West Glover. Our only issue during our stay was a power outage due to the storm. Rebecca kept in touch with us to ensure we were ok, could find the flashlights and candles, and gave us updates regarding the status of the power coming back on. This place is absolutely magical. The owners are 5/5 fantastic.

Beautiful views and gorgeous sunsets. So peaceful and relaxing if you want a getaway. We will be returning— that is how much we enjoyed our time at this cozy cottage filled with picturesque scenery and the sounds of nature.

Beautiful stay for our short trip to Vermont! We were elated when we found such a beautiful cabin that allowed us to bring our two dogs. Amazing views and sunsets. The neighborhood is very quiet and walkable. Very clean with a well stocked kitchen. During our stay, I ventured around Vermont to enjoy the fall foliage and Vermont staples such as Stowe, sugar houses, maple syrup, covered bridges, Smugglers Notch, hikes, maple creemees, and more! Perfect distance away for beautiful fall country drives to enjoy all things Vermont! The islands were adorable and the locals were so sweet. Spent a short time exploring North and South Hero… visited a little antique store and stopped at the roadside bakery DonnaSue Bakes+Cooks…. Highly recommend for some amazing sweet treats! (Check online for hours). Overall, I highly recommend Jennifer’s cabin. They have done a lovely job at hosting their cabin and we would love to come back again sometime!

Very great place to stay for a little vacation or just anything really. The sunrise over the lake sitting on the front porch in the morning is absolutely wonderful. Room are very decent sized and beds are very comfy over all great place to stay. Also very decent restaurant right down the road

The house was in amazing shape and the view was absolutely beautiful. Highly recommend this house. I definitely intend to stay again.

Moishe is awesome . Very helpful and accommodating. He made our stay an absolute pleasure. 10 out of 10 all around. We had a wonderful time there, can't wait to get back soon. Highly recommended

Five stars is not enough. The other reviews -- all five stars -- and the photographs did not prepare us for how it felt to be there. None of that conveyed the beauty of this house's situation under trees by a lake, the picturesque view of Lake Champlain, and proximity and the care that is clearly expressed by half a dozen different places you can sit and relax on the site, each with its own perspective. Multiple options for dining in St. Albans City nearby meant we never had to go any farther; easy access to Mount Mansfield's fall colors, and not a single stoplight to get there. Imagine this: a family that has passed down a large lake-side property for generations for their own quiet enjoyment saves off their best and finest piece of it, on a private end-point, with their most treasured and historic house, and allows others to come and enjoy it? It does more than guide how you feel about this family, it changes your whole perspective on Vermont and why it is so special to our nation.
