We had a wonderful stay at Robert’s chalet. Communication with Robert was very easy and smooth from start to finish. The chalet was very clean, spacious, and comfortable, with everything we needed for a relaxing stay. The view was absolutely beautiful and made the experience even more special. We would definitely recommend this place and would love to come back!

Such a relaxing get away! Lake views! Easy access to swimming and shore fishing. Wonderful location. Pet and children friendly. Hosts extremely accommodating and very responsive (the few times we needed to ask a question). Close enough to a store if needed but feels private and secluded! We definitely enjoyed our stay!

Lovely Stay

The house is accurately described. Robert is a wonderful host. He checked in by text to see if we had everything we needed. When we arrived there was a basket of organic veggies for us. We were spitting distance from the Canadian border, so a couple of trips were had. The lake is quiet, which was great. Make sure you get your creemees from Devyns Creemee Stand, and dine out at the Green Mountain Bistro.

Private getaway right on the border.

The house was a little hard to find, about 10' from the Canadian border. It's a rambling, large house with a lot of room to get together or get away from each other. It was very clean, and the kitchen was very well-appointed. Lots of dishes, pots and pans, etc. And two fridges (which came in very handy). We spent most of our time outside in the back yard. Host was exceptionally responsive!

Blue Spruce— great stay!

Hey! Robert’s house was a fun place to stay. The house is huge, decorations are really funky and cool, and the lakefront is really beautiful. It’s a cool part of the lake and good for boating. Plenty of space to comfortably sleep 12. We had a blast and it’s a great value. Would book again.
