House is well loved and comfortable. You will need water shoes/sandals for the beach but it is one of the best swimming spots ive been to. Canoe is in bad shape, not sure it should be offered as an amenity anymore for safety reaspns. The kayaks were great for riding out on smooth water days.

We absolutely love our time there and look foward to it all year long! Each year there are improvements (AC this year!) and the house is super clean, well stocked and comfortable. We spend hours sitting on the screened in porch and relaxing in/by the lake. St. Albans is also a very nice little city (we like Catalyst coffee shop and 14th star brewing) and Burlington isn't far either for a night out. We can't wait to come back next year! ##### Meghan M. Stayed 7 nights in Aug 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### SANDRA C. Jun 24, 2018 #### Excellent Location for R&R What an excellent location on the Lake. Wonderful views (& sunsets) of the lake & islands from onshore deck, screened in porch, or relaxing inside on the comfy leather sofa thru big picture windows. The cabin was much more spacious than I had expected. Furnishings were clean and comfortable. Great place to rest and relax, or getting out in the water on the canoe or biking down the road, as they provided lots of "toys". Chris, the owner, was terrific to work with and quick to respond to any questions. I would definitely rent from him again. ##### SANDRA C.

Oct 18, 2018 #### A nice fall getaway We had a good time, the place is nice and clean, and very spacious , well kept and in a good location so I can launch my boat and go fishing close by. We're already planning to come back in June as we've booked the place again! The only problem we had this time of year was the wind was relentless and blowing out of the North made tough for fishing. But that's Mother Nature you can't control it ##### JAMES D. Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jeffrey N. Jun 10, 2018 #### Exceeded our expectations ! CAUTION This is not the Marriott ! The Marriott does not have the warm Vermont vibe that this cabin exudes. Clean, well appointed and well equipped Poulin Shores was as advertised and provided us with a great vacation experience. Great restaurants in St. Albins for those nights that you don't want to cook. Side trips to Montreal and Burlington were quite doable. Always returned to the cabin for incredible sunsets over the water. Thanks Chris and Jen for allowing us to spend a week here. Hope to return.

Aug 23, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Just what was needed This was a last minute plan and we were lucky a scheduling glitch made the cottage available for a shorter stay than typically required. We brought our dogs and covered the furniture and beds with our own coverings. The place was nicely stocked and even though parts of the cottage were older, the bathroom was fresh and large! The common space and sleeping arrangements would be great for a family or group of friends. It was really hot during our stay and the AC units were wonderful to have. The screen porch was a nice way to enjoy the outside and not worry about bugs or our dogs bothering walkers or joggers. The location was awesome! We loved that it was on a private quiet road so we could walk safely during the day or after dark. It's hard to find a property no right on a main road. The beach is rocky so be sure to bring your beach shoes. The backyard would be perfect for children wanting to run and play. A big apple tree attracts deer looking for a snack. Great place and we will definitely rent again. Thank you Poulins! You have a very special spot. ##### Bethany B. Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Meghan M. Aug 16, 2016 #### Amazing Vermont getaway! We absolutely loved our stay at the cottage. We were a group of 5 adults and 2 toddlers. Chris was very communicative about our arrival and checked in with us to make sure everything was ok. The house was very clean and we were pleasantly surprised to find that the cottage was way bigger than we expected; the kitchen, living area and dining area are all open to each other so we had plenty of communal space. The bedrooms were very quiet due to their layout which was great because we were traveling with a 15 month and 17 month old but they didn't bother each other despite sleeping in adjacent rooms. The screened porch was amazing for dinner, relaxing at night or just having a smaller room for the toddlers to play in without having to chase them all around :) The beach deck was awesome and pretty unique and the beach itself was great. It's rocky but that was really a plus for us as the babies loved playing in the rocks and there was also a bit of sandy area to for them to play in. Once you walk out a few feet into the water there was also a sandy but shallow area we we could sit with the babies and play. The water itself was clear and not seaweed-y. This was definitely the best beach we've encountered at the various rentals we've stayed at on the lake. The kitchen was well equipped and we definitely appreciated the convenience of the water cooler and two refrigerators (can you say beer fridge??!). We loved St. Albans and hope next time we can explore a little more of the surrounding areas but for this trip we were happy staying at the house almost the whole time. Burlington is a quick 45 minute drive and you can get to Canada in about 20 minutes if you're looking for more to do. We also enjoyed Kill Kare State park for an afternoon (10 minutes or so). Grocery stores and Walmart about 15 minutes. Thank you to the Poulin Family for sharing their house with us and we sincerely hope to return next summer. ##### Meghan M.

The lake views were spectacular from inside the house as well as on the deck. We have been to many lake houses and this is one of our new favorites. My family enjoyed fishing the lake as well as a bit of kayaking. The house is clean and had all of the necessary amenities. We look forward to the opportunity to stay here again. ##### Beth-Ann K. Stayed 5 nights in Oct 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Caitlin U. Sep 17, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Exceeded Expectations Ideal setting + home for a family vacation of any size. We set the devices aside and were able to connect with the beauty of the lake, stars and sunsets. The home is a perfect set up and felt very spacious, the hammock in the front yard was full most of the time, and with 20 steps to your feet in the lake, the week felt endless with the calming effects of the water. We adapted to lake life quickly, and loved every second of it! ##### Caitlin U.
