Pine - Waterfront Cabin on Private Island in Lake Champlain
Stay on a private island in Lake Champlain!
Accessible only by boat, Garden Island is a 30-acre private island offering a rare and peaceful Vermont escape. Pine sits just steps from the shoreline, with its screened porch overlooking the water only about 30 feet away, close enough to hear the gentle waves from your morning coffee.
Guests enjoy full access to the islandâs sandy beach, open meadow, and wooded walking trails. Spend your days kayaking, canoeing, paddleboarding, or taking the paddleboat out with the kids. All non-motorized lake equipment is included in your stay. Swim from the dock, relax in a hammock, or gather for sunset views along the shore. With no cars on the island, the setting is calm, natural, and intentionally unplugged.
Pine features classic knotty-pine walls and ceilings throughout, creating a warm, traditional Vermont lake-cabin feel. The spacious living and dining area centers around a fireplace, with large, comfortable chairs perfect for evenings indoors after a day on the water. The large screened porch offers front-row lake views and generous seating for meals, board games, or simply enjoying the breeze off Converse Bay.
This three-bedroom home (all bedrooms located upstairs) includes one full bath and accommodates up to seven guests, making it ideal for families who want to be right on the water.
