Summary: We just returned from my second trip to Savage Island and it was every bit as stunning as it was the first time. 207 acres all to yourself. Beautiful sunsets, rainbows, and rolling fields of grass. Best of all...no crowds. If you're looking to unwind on a serene island getaway, you can't do much better.

Summary: We have fallen entirely in love with Savage Island! We can't say enough about how lovely our week was. The island is breathtaking; the house is perfect; the land is green and lush. Our week consisted of endless coffee on the wrap around porches; morning runs around the island; fresh eggs from the farm; slow days on the lake boating, swimming, snorkeling, and snoozing; yard games; cooking and enjoying slow dinners on the deck; and fantastic nights of sleep. Wayne and Lynn are fantastic caretakers and we are so thankful to the Riehle family for sharing this special place with us. It is so clear just how much this island is adored by family and friends; add us to the list of people holding Savage Island in a special place in our hearts. We hope to be back!

Summary: This is such a special place. From the views to Wayne and Lynn that help make everything seamless. We can't wait to come back!

Summary: We had a fantastic week staying on Savage Island for a second year in a row. What an awesome place. It is such a beautiful and unique property with lots of great adventures to be had. Wayne took great care of us and keeps the house and island in great shape. We enjoyed days at the beach, boating, epic Risk board games and lots of fun for both the kids and adults. We will definitely be back!

Summary: We love Savage Island and everything about it. Countless walks around the island provided beautiful views of the changing seasons in Vermont. The house is gorgeous with tons of outdoor entertaining space and all the necessities for outdoor adventures and games. Wayne is an excellent caretaker and host, effortlessly shuttling us to the island and ensuring we had everything we needed for a perfect week. We highly recommend Savage Island for a beautiful, relaxing escape with friends and family. Can't wait to return.

Summary: This place is pretty magical. The wrap-a-round porch made getting a breeze, some shade or some sun the choice of the day. The bikes were an added touch that made exploring the whole island so easy. We had the pleasure of riding out a Tropical storm and the puzzles, games and movies made it perfect. The gem of the island is Wayne who is there for every need you may have, always with a smile and a good story to go with it. Can’t wait to return!!

Summary: The host is fantastic and accommodating, the caretakers Wayne and Lynn We’re proactively helpful and seemed to go out of their way to be available but unintrusive. They were so great. The property and house are lovely. You can feel the good family vibes from their years of love at the property and it’s just stunningly beautiful. Hope to visit again soon! Thank you, Helen for hosting us! 🙏

Summary: We had a great week on Savage Island. In these difficult times, getting away to an island for a week was the perfect retreat for us all to regroup and relax with friends and family. Getting to the island was easy (the launch fit our shocking amount of supplies for the week without issue) and Wayne and Lynn were super helpful throughout the stay. We also brought our own boat which opened up exploring all of the inland sea which was really fun and exciting! The house fit a large group well and had everything we needed, the beaches were great and there was lots to explore! We will be back for sure.

Summary: I have wanted to rent this property for years, and finally got a group together to do it... boy am I glad I did! It was everything and more. What an amazing spot to put everything aside and relax for a while. Walking/biking trails, beaches galore, wild flowers, and the best sunrises and sunsets. We brought a boat and landed a plane - both seamless to do. The caretaker Wayne was amazing, and communication with Helen was great too. Overall one of the best trips I’ve taken... mostly because of the beauty, allure, and solitude of Savage Island.

Summary: I suppose we should try and "game the system," offering a poor review so that this beautiful, peaceful, fun-filled, hide-away, remains unknown, and thus more available for use by our family. However, as both the owners and property managers are so nice, generous, and accommodating--despite the risk of this amazing property being booked throughout following summers--we simply have to give Savage Island top marks: all five stars. Savage Island is the ideal get-away for a large family (this was our second visit with 14 people). It accommodates large group activities--three large beaches, family dining inside and out, huge green space (volleyball, Frisbee golf, flag football, croquet), hiking, etc.--as well as small spaces to read a book, go for a (two person) sail, find a friend for a kayak or bike ride around the island, or just slip away for a walk during sunset. Wayne, who manages the property, is AMAZING. There is nothing we needed (he took care of everything before we arrived), but if we did need anything (forgot groceries, needed ice, more firewood), he willingly and happily helped us out. Wayne was conscientious of our privacy, while checking in enough to make sure we were all settled and set up. My suggestion--once you get to the island, stay on the island! Don't try to go into town or Burlington... get all your groceries before arriving... don't go over "antiquing" or shopping. Just stay on the island and enjoy the solitude, your family and friends, and the experiences only available on an island and with the lake. But most of all, don't book your visit during our family's preferred weeks!!!
