The home exceeded every expectation. It is well appointed for a very comfortable stay, hosting guests, and enjoying lake activities (should the weather cooperate).The location is sufficiently remote that you wouldn’t know anyone else lived nearby — so pack your tick repellent; but, you’re still close enough to be downtown Burlington in 20/25 minutes.Our hosts provided clear instructions ahead of our arrival to ensure we met each other’s expectations. They were easy to reach via the app’s messaging platform. We thoroughly enjoyed our entire experience and stay. We hope to book again! ##### Cynthia P.

The views of the bay are breathtaking and can be enjoyed from anywhere on the expansive wrap around porch. The home is fully equipped and kid friendly. Plenty of towels, cleaning supplies and there are fun elements like a karaoke machine and chalk board wall for the kids. Also, two types of coffe markers (drip and kuerig). We are already making plans to come back. A true hidden gem! ##### Laura L. Stayed 3 nights in Apr 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jeannie S. Feb 24, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Amazing location! We had a fabulous stay at Duck Blind and hope to return someday. The bay it’s on was mostly frozen (many ice skaters, wind skaters and even mountain bikers out in the ice) so we ventured out a bit which was lots of fun. The property was well furnished, everything you could need in the kitchen, games for kids and adults, comfortable, clean, and slightly bigger than we thought, which was great. While it listed as a 2 bedroom, there’s an additional bunk room in the basement which was great for the kids. I would have liked window coverings in the windows in that room , but that was the only thing I would have changed! We hope to go back next winter, but also interested in warmer weather too! ##### Jeannie S. Stayed 3 nights in Feb 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Becky M.
