Colchester Apartment | The Lakehouse of Braeloch

6 Bedroom Apartment in Colchester

The Lakehouse of Braeloch is a one of a kind classic cedar ranch located 20 minutes from downtown Burlington and 90 minutes from Montreal, with 6 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms, and a private beach on Mallets Bay (Lake Champlain). Enjoy total privacy in deep ancient forest, miles from civilization yet only minutes from downtown (the big city of Burlington!). Make some memories at this unique and family-friendly place.
The house includes 3,200 SF of natural luxury including a great room that is open to both a modern kitchen as well as to the 400 SF screen porch overlooking the lake. It enjoys douglas fir post and beam architecture with wide-board pine floors throughout and 30 foot vaulted wood-paneled ceilings. The main entry is the upper floor as the house is built into a slope, as are four of the six bedrooms. This is useful for families with members who have trouble navigating stairs as the kitchen, dining room, outdoor decks, great room and four of six bedrooms are on the same level as the entry (the entry is 4 steps from parking grade). The large screen porch can be completely enclosed by a `nana-wall` (5 panel sliding door that completely opens up) during cold months or evenings and is flanked on either side by 350 SF sun-decks overlooking the water and accessed from each of the upstair`s two `dueling` master bedrooms.
There is a year round outdoor hot tub overlooking the lake and a steam-sauna for two in our downstairs marble-lined `rain room` with bluetooth stereo capability.
The entire house is included in any rental, which sits on 3 acres in a secluded area remote from all but two nearby seasonal homes. The meadow located behind the house hosts a community tennis court and a baskeball court that are available for you to use. The tennis court is striped for pickleball, as well.
The house is located within a 300 acre affluent country community known as `Braeloch` which includes 2.5 miles of lake shoreline. Braeloch is a mile from a paved road through old growth forest and is a vestige of old world Vermont. It is, however 20 minutes away from downtown Burlington - a REALLY fun city - and 90 minutes drive from Montreal - A GREAT city - and very accessible to NY upstate via the Ferry on South Hero.
No houses are within sight of the Lakehouse but we have neighbors within the community, almost all are 2nd home owners. We share a tennis court and a basketball court that are for your enjoyment on first come first serve basis.
Parking via a `circle` can accomodate four cars without `blocking` the circle and more if need be.
In summer months - Memorial day to Labor day - we provide one canoe and two paddleboards for your use. We may have more items available but these are minimum however feel free to ask us!
All beds are made and ready for you to sleep upon arrival. We also can help you order groceries and have them stocked in the refridgerator upon arrival.

Summary: Multi-generational family members traveled for a weekend stay to attend UVM's commencement in Burlington. Excellent location just 20 minutes from campus yet secluded in a beautiful and private community on Lake Champlain. Made a perfect setting for a family get together. The home is charming, well equipped and spacious. Property owner/manager was a pleasure to communicate with and the whole experience was seamless. We highly recommend!
