We bring you true Executive Adirondack-style direct waterfront living on lovely Lake Champlain. The views are spectacular in this romantic, private, and peaceful home.

Best waterfront cottage in America

The cottage located on Lake Champlain is the perfect getaway for a vacation. We enjoyed evening fires in front of fire pit. The Host correctly name this cottage Serenity Now. We will be going back again next year. If the host ever decides to sell I will be in line to buy. What a special place.

Serenity Now! Yada Yada Yada We had a great stay!!!

We had an amazing time at serenity now. The house was clean and beautifully designed, almost as if it were done by Art Vandelay himself. The location on the lake was absolutely perfect. Jennifer was so friendly and easy to communicate with and all of her tips and suggestions were great. Serenity now is a must stay.

Perfect retreat

I was in Plattsburg for the solar eclipse and was very fortunate to find this lovely cabin. It was so perfectly cozy, rustic yet elegant, and clean. Jennifer and Todd have done an exceptional job with their renovation and were amazing hosts. They have truly thought of every little detail. It was one of the best vacation homes that I've ever rented. The whole area is beautiful and I can't wait to visit again!

Amazing and unique cabin on Lake Champlain

Just a Great Place to Relax or Have an Adventure (or both)

This was our second time at this wonderful little cabin on the lake and it was just as great as the first time. We and our pups always enjoy our time here. The cabin is cozy with everything you need. Lake Champlain is at your doorstep, you are in the shadow of the Adirondack mountains, you are a quarter mile from the ferry to Vermont and it’s only about 20 miles due North to the Canadian border. Plenty of great state parks, food and shopping around or just relax at the cabin.

We have rented many rentals over the years but serenity was just beyond description. It was so nice and relaxing and the home met all our needs. The view from the back porch was beyond description and I will definately be back again. This place is a diamond in the rough. Peace quiet and relaxation….

We loved Serenity Now! We really dig the rustic- modern vibe and setting. The location was great for exploring the region. We spent 5 days biking, kayaking, hiking, and sampling the breweries and wineries. We had a wonderful time and hope to return!

Even better the second time around!

This is the only property in my 25+ years of renting vacation homes that I’ve returned to a home I previously rented. We so enjoyed this cozy home and the magical yard with the lights and fire pit. But this home’s unique location makes it ideal for visiting not only upstate NY, but Vermont via the ferry around the corner and Montreal only 1 hour away. My first visit to Montreal was wonderful and I would certainly recommend visiting. All in all a great getaway to find a little Serenity Now!

Serenity Now!!

My wife and are were celebrating our 10 year anniversary. What a great getaway! Wish we could of stayed longer. We both work a lot and it was nice to unwind. This spot is real cozy and quiet. The ferry to Vermont is right down the road and easy access. This is a must stay!

About the host

Hosted by Jennifer

Host profile image
Ambitious and accomplished, we are an industrious duo that functions as a well-oiled machine. As high school sweethearts, we grew together on the shores of Lake Champlain, then journeyed to Washington D.C. for a fresh start. We have lived the urbanite dream for nearly three decades and raised a handful of ankle-biters (yes, five!). We escape to our special home often and would like to share it with others. When we receive great reviews about our "little slice of heaven", it truly warms our heart! We feel so delighted to share our special place with the world.

Why they chose this property

Twenty years ago we decided to purchase a cabin on beautiful Lake Champlain to be closer to family. Our family has spent every summer thru the years enjoying the ups and downs of transforming this once dilapidated cabin into a rustic retreat. Post-purchase, it quickly became clear that our hopes for spending time at a relaxing getaway were a bit misguided. This project-after-project lifestyle offered us the inspiration we needed to name our cozy lakefront cabin: an ironic, ‘Serenity Now’. Her name, derived from the comedic sitcom, Seinfeld, which once featured an overworked man exclaiming ‘serenity now’ amidst a variety of stressful circumstances. Our family, especially our five kiddos, found themselves affectionately adopting this phrase. With a herculean effort, we have transformed this challenging fixer-upper into a modern Adirondack-style escape. Every summer a major new project is adopted which has been a delightful surprise for our returning guests. We are exuberantly proud to share her with all of you.

What makes this property unique

Serenity Now is directly lakefront as opposed to many other local properties which often come with a road barrier to Lake Champlain. You will find the lake by opening french doors and following a beautiful slate walkway down to a second deck overlooking the lake. We have tried hard to preserve the authentic nature of our Adirondack cabin. Guests truly feel transformed to someplace magical and serene. At Serenity Now, you are surrounded by all things beautiful and rustic. Our home is clean, comfortable, and modern. There really is no "roughing it" despite the rustic surroundings and so we appeal to even the most discerning of vacationers.
