About this property

Absolutely Fantastic Family Vacation Spot - Fox Meadow Lakefront

Located right on Lake Champlain in Addison Vermont, we are pleased to offer this wonderful vacation property for the first time. This property was purchased in 2015 with the intent of offering a unique waterfront property with ample capacity for large family occasions. The year round home is owned by a Connecticut builder, he and his family have created an upscale vacation home, specifically designed to take advantage of the breathtaking views of the lake as well as the landscaped grounds that surround the home.

This house is nearly 3000 square feet. While the original log home has been completely renovated with a gorgeous post and beam addition added to provide a state of the art kitchen, living room , a large master suite, a large suite facing the grounds, as well as a bathroom that is shared by both suites.

As you enter the lake house, you cant help but notice that the flooring is spectacular with Vermont maple flooring throughout. The custom cherry kitchen provides for the needs of nearly all levels of cooking skills, with stainless steel appliances, double oven, as well as a gas cooktop located on an island with Cherry cabinets and a gas cooktop. The design of the kitchen allows for wonderful flow and utility, making a fantastic spot to hang out before, during and after family meals.

Each bedroom has a wonderful view to sit and enjoy the Vermont wildlife that abounds. There is also a large family room on the cabin side that provides a nice comfortable atmosphere, separate from the living room and kitchen. Plenty of Places to Relax!

The house sits right on the lake. From the lake house, you can sit anywhere on the 70 feet of porch/deck and enjoy the lake. For those that choose to be more adventurous, On the beach we have 100 feet of dock, located in a protected bay. Safe for swimming, fishing, boating, or just enjoying the sunsets. Great for families! We offer free use of our row boat and kayaks.

While staying here, you will certainly enjoy the privacy you are seeking. However, the location is perfect for getting out and doing things. The Marina is close by for those of you who may want to keep your boat there. One of the areas busiest restaurants is only 1/4 mile away. They make a great breakfast! Additionally, for our guests, we have a list of restaurants we have found worth adventuring out.

Burlington is only 32 miles north, Middlebury is 18 miles to the west, Port Henry New York is right across the lake, an easy drive using the bridge.

I've been told that Lake Champlain is one of the top 5 bass fishing lakes in the United States. In early summer, they hold a national tournament, which is fun to be a part of. Less than a half a mile away this spring, a record breaking lake trout was caught within site of our dock. Maybe you could be the next record breaker!

Comments that I have received back from travelers that have stayed at this lake house have described it as "stunning", "majestic", and "relaxing".

We allow pets on a case by case basis and charge an additional cleaning fee at the end. Additionally, we do require pet insurance which is built into our fee structure

Wish we could live here!

We just loved this property that we rented for our 4 adult children, two spouses, our 5 year old granddaughter and her 85 year old Great grandmother! We wanted a space where each family could have their own separate area and this property filled the bill. Santa actually delivered the gifts here and we celebrated a wonderful Christmas together. Everything we needed to cook our family dinner was available. The dining area table was perfect for family games! Would return here in a heartbeat! The perfect family gathering space! I personally loved the little nest bedrooom area!,

Great lake spot

Lots of space; we visited in Fall during high color season. Workers taking out the dock while we were there indicates benefit of lake location in summer. The place was spotless.

Very relaxing locatiob

I love VT so to be in such a lovely location was a treat. The country side is postcard perfect. The house accommodated us all perfectly. I really like how the two sections of the house allows us to be together but blocks out the noise of the late nighters from us early (normal) bed goers. I recommend this house to all.

Beautiful peaceful lakefront property

It is beautiful. We enjoyed our family vacation stay. The fishing off the dock was great! The kayaks and paddle board were fun for all. There were some inaccuracies in the listed amenities but Joe did make an accommodation for them (thank you Joe) and corrected the listing. A few other reviews have mentioned it, but there is no washer and dryer available for guest use which, after experiencing it, is somewhat essential for us for a week of a lakeside stay with young teens hiking, swimming, boating, and fishing (plus two partly rainy days). It is a very rural area and there is no laundromat to go to close by. There was an outdoor clothesline that we used to dry towels. The home was spacious and the front porch was amazing for relaxing.

Amazing

The property was amazing. Great home. Lots of amenities. Plenty of places to sit inside and out and relax or hang out. The deck is super long! Great way to get out in the water and enjoy the lake. We all loved it, including our dogs! We only had one issue with check in but it was not the fault of the owner. The VRBO app was not working correctly and we couldn’t get the code to check in. I was able to message the owner through the app and he contacted me to help out. Great service.

Lakeside Dream

This VRBO rental home was "by far" one of the best we have ever stayed at. We pulled the bass boat up and celebrated our 35th wedding anniversary. The pictures posted are good, but to see it is a lakeside dream! And no fish tails here, Its all "reel". Joe was responsive too all my questions . Thanks Joe...We had a ball.! see you again ..Jim ,Karen ,and Marley the pug.

Best Family Vacation

We stayed here with our 3 adult children and their significant others. We wanted a place to spend time together, play games and enjoy the family. This house delivered on all of those. The house itself is large, well laid out and in the most peaceful setting. It provided enough space for everyone. The fireplace made it cozy and the kitchen was incredible. It was close enough to different ski options while still being away from the crowded area. We enjoyed every minute of our stay here. Joe was attentive and responsive to any messages I sent and was accommodating when I wanted to extend the days we were there. Highly recommended! We would certainly visit again.

Great Place

Perfect for two families as the two areas with bedrooms are both separate. Big yard. Giant wraparound deck. Beautiful view of the lake. Large family area. It's a very nice place. We did not use the water because we were there in early October. It's a bit strange to me that they lock up the washer and dryer. Also, only two bathrooms. Highly recommended.

About the host

Hosted by Joe Breen

Host profile image
I am a builder from Connecticut who specializes in the complete renovation/restoration of homes from the 1700 and 1800's.

Why they chose this property

This spot is located on one of the most scenic lots I have seen on the Lake. the acreage surrounding the home lends itself to a scenic and breathtaking view in every direction. While the original structure was a log home, we added a unique blend through a post & beam addition. The result is a fantastic country retreat. As soon as you enter the property, a sense of relaxation sets in.

What makes this property unique

This lake house has it all; Privacy, beauty, convenience, all tied into all the amenities you enjoy with complete access to the lake. This is not a camp but a year round lake house. Whether its water sports in the summer or sledding down the hill towards the lake in the winter. This was designed for family fun. Not many places on the lake have this amount of capacity without crowding. A great pick to get together for family reunions, weddings, graduations, and the like
