Stephens Family Cottage: 3 Br Classic Lakefront

Stephens’s Cottage at Potash Bay is “Simple But Quaint,” with everything you need for a great vacation on Lake Champlain: private beach, swimming, fishing, rowboating, tanning; hiking, biking, reading, or napping on the two porches. The pebble beach features a low grade for easy and safe water entry; faces West for sunsets in the Adirondacks; includes aluminum v-bottom rowboat, dock for sunbathing, a mooring for your boat. Fishing is excellent off the point. The cottage is ideal for children and pets. Note: The Beach is accessed by wooden stairs.
