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 island's 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.

Summary: A simple, low-tech, relaxing experience, surrounded by incredible beauty. Gather your multi-generational family for fun lake days, surrounded on all sides by mountain views. Larger families can rent the main house and multiple cabins, all close enough to each other yet offering some individual space. Many of the cabins are 1890's and you can just imagine the generations of families who made memories here. The screened in porches have big tables for endless games & puzzles after a full day of beach play, kayak/canoe and sailing adventures. Sunset is magnificent from the water! Life jackets, beach loungers and umbrellas are provided. Bring your own beach towels. There is a shared washer and dryer available for your use at the caregivers cabin. Bring some enclosed hiking shoes (& bug spray...you are in nature) and traverse the whole island. Find the historic Lookout Tower and keep an eye out for eagles and ospreys. Grill something yummy on the charcoal grills (charcoal is provided) and gather the whole family together for a waterside dinner on the lawn picnic tables. Bring the ingredients for making S'mores at the beach rock firepit. The on-site staff are super helpful & welcoming. It is a 3 minute ride back to your car with the always-available little ferry boat. Civilization with grocery stores etc. is only 25 miles away in Burlington. For off-island adventures explore the Shelburne museum (It's huge and your ticket gives you two days of access.) The littles will love the Shelburne Farm (free). Adults will enjoy the hike from the Farm out to the historic Inn and back. (4miles round trip through the forest, along the water and meadows.) Make it a morning or evening thing so you can partake in their farm-to-table breakfast or dinner. It's beautiful. (Reservations are necessary.) For families, big and small, looking to get back to simpler times and stunning surroundings, this is your spot.
