Jul 7, 2024 Liked: Location Disliked: Cleanliness #### Fun Lake Camp on Island in Lake Champlain The Island is lovely. House was not as clean as it could have been. Caretakers were very nice and accommodating. Lake amenities were terrific. ##### Laura W. Stayed 6 nights in Jun 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Debbie P. Aug 23, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, location, listing accuracy #### Great location Great location! Very helpful and friendly island staff! Wonderful screened-in front porch overlooking the lake. Nice beach with access to different water crafts. As the listing indicates, there is no A/C (and also no ceiling fans) - the property manager did bring in box fans after we asked. The house is older but clean. It doesn’t have a lot of the usual amenities and wasn’t as comfortable as other places we’ve been, but our family had fun. ##### Debbie P. Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Dave J. Jun 14, 2022 Liked: Check-in, communication, location #### The Island This was a great vacation, the on-island staff were very helpful, friendly, and accommodating. They had kayaks, paddle boards, & toys. The sandy beach is a great hub of the island. Thanks for a great time! ##### Dave J. Stayed 4 nights in Jun 2022 This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Don C. Jul 18, 2021 #### Great spot! Great spot! ##### Don C.
