Rockview Cottage: Peaceful Lake Champlain Retreat, Private

Step back in time at Rockview, a summer cottage built circa 1900 as a summer getaway for a local Keeseville family and maintained to this day by that same family. Enjoy Rockview's semi-private cove and sand beach, our 25 foot shared boat dock, dark summer skies, and all the wonders of nature in the Adirondack Mountains. Highlights include a fully screened in porch with a panoramic view of Lake Champlain, a location far away from the noise and bustle of cities (although you will hear a train pass through now and again), comfortable sleeping arrangements, a fully equipped kitchen, porch swing, and our beautiful lakefront yard with whispering pines, birds, hammock, and Adirondack chair seating.

The cottage's main source of water is pumped from the lake. The lake water is safe for bathing and cleaning dishes (both hot and cold water service provided). Drinking/cooking water should be carried in.

Nice Quiet Spot
Quiet spot on the lake. Beautiful views, lovely little beach cove. Water pressure was surprising at times (trickle or explosion!) but otherwise a sweet rustic spot to spend the week.

Magic!
This is a perfect getaway! The setting is absolutely serene and stunning. The cottage is nestled on a rock overlooking the lake, and is very private. A winding and scenic path takes you down to a sandy beach, in a beautiful little cove. The cottage itself is well supplied and very comfortable! It has a rustic charm to it. The large screened in porch was a great place to spend time as a family. This was an actually very relaxing vacation!

Private Gem
Clean. Chic. Restful. Family camp or couple’s retreat. A private gem on a quiet cove among the pines. Nearby hiking trails, bike routes, swimming and as many active or quiet pursuits as you can fit into your stay. The house is not furnished with modern amenities but washing your own dishes is a worthy endeavor after enjoying a meal overlooking the lake.

Perfect View
Rockview was just what I was looking for - a nice, quiet place for my family to spend a week together on the lake. The cabin was very quaint, and the screened-in porch was the perfect spot to relax. Your neighbors are not right on top of you, and there's no traffic going by. There is plenty of privacy. And we all loved the little cove by the water. We really enjoyed our stay and hope to make it there again.

Lake lovers paradise
It's a "camp" in the Adirondack tradition. Rustic, old, no A/C or granite countertops...think wide-plank painted floors and claw-foot tub. We like amenities when we pay for them anyway but are not "amenity-driven" travelers. Rockview satisfies at the most elemental level. The view, the view, AND did I mention the VIEW? The panorama is absolutely stunning and gives new meaning to the term "binge-watching". The beach is great too and we got good use from the kayaks. I can't imagine a better place to "wile" away the days/nights than Rockview...any time of year!

Charming vintage Adirondack camp on lake Champlain
Rockview is a great rental; clean, comfy, with a vintage appeal. It's in a terrific natural setting right on Lake Champlain. It also has something you don't often find on a lake: a beautiful sandy beach. The Host, Jim, was very accommodating. Great place to relax.

Picture perfect cottage with rock and lake view!
We had a wonderful time. The location was perfect and the cottage reminded us of our grandparents home in our childhood. The lake view from the cottage was awesome and the beach was very good. Kids had lot of fun in the beach and adults too. The pizza from Giuseppe's Pizza Shop was very delicious too. Overall we all had a great time! Thank you again Jim for sharing your cottage with us!

So happy to be able to stay at Rock View again this fall, and enjoy the sights and sounds of Lake Champlain. It’s a perfect location, and the view and beach cannot be beat. Jim is a wonderful host, and I’m looking forward to staying at Rock View again next year.

We searched among many places and the setting for Rockview just grabbed us. Everything in the listing more than met our satisfaction. The only thing lacking in the listing is how truly spectacular the beach is. Our dogs loved it too.

While we were only there for three days, we absolutely loved Rockview and wish we could have stayed longer! It was like stepping back into time, and you can sense what a meaningful retreat this has been for many, many families. Thank you for sharing this special place with us, we hope to come back one day!

Spectacular location
The location of the cabin is spectacular and it is well stocked and comfortable. Good quality towels and linens included. Remembering it is a rustic cabin with old-world charm lets one overlook some minor inconveniences like no drinkable water on tap, very low water pressure for the shower, etc. . We were very grateful that Wifi was added this year and worked great! Overall, we had a very good week as a family sheltering together in the pandemic. We had the beach to ourselves most of the time and enjoyed swimming, kayaking and paddle boarding. The kitchen is very workable to cook in and well stocked, but if you want to order pizza , we recommend Guiseppe's pizza in Keeseville!!

Peace and tranquility - with a view!
I was looking for a place to unwind and recharge, and Rock View was perfect. The view is magnificent, and I spent countless hours on the screen porch - reading, listening to the lake & wildlife, watching the birds (including a Bald Eagle that landed in a tree in front of the house!) and sailboats make their way up and down the lake. The beach was a short (but kind-of steep) walk from the house, and we spent many hours enjoying the sandy cove, and were almost always the only folks there. It is truly a wonderful house and location, and I hope to stay again next year,
