Treehouse Cottage

This charming bungalow is nestled among the trees overlooking Lake Champlain just a short walk up a grassy hill from its private parking spot. It has a bedroom and living area with a queen bed, small kitchenette, three-season porch dining area, porch overlooking the lake with a gas grill, and tiny bath with a very low ceiling and glass shower enclosure. Originally known as the “Tea House”, this small building was designed by Robert Henderson Robertson and constructed around 1890. Historically, Lila would gather here with friends in the afternoon to drink tea and enjoy the scenery from the Treehouse’s perch above the lake. During the 1950s, the building was called “Waveledge” and was used as a painting and sculpting studio by Aileen Webb, wife of Vanderbilt Webb, Lila and William Seward’s youngest son.
