There’s something special about September on Lake Champlain. 🍂🌊

Quieter days, cooler evenings, and a little more time to enjoy the lake before the season comes to an end. 🐨

September dates are still available here at Champlain Cove Retreat — and nearby at our sister property, Lakehouse on the Bluff!

September might just be Lake Champlain’s best-kept secret. 🍂🌊

The summer crowds begin to fade. The lake gets a little quieter. The evenings get a little cooler. And there’s still plenty of time to enjoy Vermont before the season comes to an end.

Whether you prefer waking up right on the water at Champlain Cove Retreat or relaxing above St. Albans Bay at Lakehouse on the Bluff, September dates are available at both Koala Escape St. Albans properties. 🐨

Two different Vermont stays.
One beautiful time of year.

Ready for another summer at the lake.

A little maintenance, a lot of preparation, and evenings like this waiting at the end of the day. 🌅

Nothing like enjoying a drink and taking in a Lake Champlain sunset after a productive day at the Cove. 🌅🍺

Today's accomplishment? A new hot water heater and water flowing once again. Sometimes it's the behind-the-scenes projects that help make a relaxing getaway possible.

As the sun sets over the lake, it's nice to take a moment and appreciate the view.

Meanwhile elsewhere on Lake Champlain… we fully support grilling season 🤣😂🌊🔥

Summer mode is slowly activating across the Champlain Collection.

After the first few days of opening the camp for the season… sometimes you need to stop for a minute and remember WHY you do it. 🤣😂🌊

Burgers on the grill.
A nice cold Modelo.
Lake Champlain.
And finally a chance to enjoy the view for five minutes. 🔥🍔🍺

The time and work it takes to get the Bluff ready every year is always worth it once moments like this hit.

Current status: Mentally unavailable until further notice 🤣😂🌊

There’s just something different about the lake after dark.
