Cottage by the lake

We fell in love with this adorable cottage with a gorgeous view and location by the lake. We could walk down to the lake and enjoy the sunset or stay on the porch and relax. It is a short drive to Burlington, restaurants and shops. Highly recommended! We hope to come back soon!

The Perfect Cottage

This was the perfect place for a little weekend getaway to visit my college kid. Only about 15 min drive to UVM campus. Aside from being so close to the beach/lake (perfect place to watch the sunset!), the back patio provides a lovely, quiet place to enjoy dinner. There’s an enclosed porch to chill, or sit around the island in the kitchen or living room with a fireplace. Our host was very responsive and super helpful. I’m bookmarking this place bc I’ll definitely stay again. Highly recommend!!

Great location near the lake!

This was a lovely little beach house cottage in Vermont. The location was good as Burlington was only a 15 minute drive away. The cottage gets a little cold this time of year (October) so I would recommend using the fireplace for heat at night. Also, the shower is a little small so that is something to consider if you need/want a lot of shower space. Otherwise, the cabin was nice and it was in a good location.

We chose this cabin so we could easily access friends in Essex, Burlington, and the causeway. It's close enough to everything we care about be it friends, family, beaches, or hiking/biking/walking.

Graduation Weekend

Beds were comfortable and the 3 season porch was a great place to unwind. We enjoyed the view of the water from the house. Kitchen is well stocked with dishes. At night we could hear tree frogs calling on the other side of the road, which was fun. There's also a park nearby with walking trails, and a grocery store close by. Zachary's Pizza is also close and we had an excellent pizza there. It was about 20 minutes to downtown Burlington. A very relaxing place to stay, so glad we found it!

Lakeside Retreat

This is a lovely cottage type home on Lake Champlain. We found the owner to be easy to communicate with, via text, and the check in seamless. The location is quite nice and we enjoyed just sitting on the deck in the sunshine. Bird feeders brought a vast array of birds to watch and listen to. The house was clean and ready for our arrival. The wifi signal was strong and there were board games and puzzles to enjoy. Although a short drive from the center of Burlington this was a perfect place to be to attend UVM graduation. I highly recommend this rental.

Charming little cottage, removed but very convenient to Burlington and Colchester

This was so perfect for our family. It was an EXCELLENT alternative to high priced hotels. We were in the area for a college graduation, and we spent one night enjoying the fire pit! Lovely views, comfy accommodations, lovely, lovely host who couldn't have been more gracious and accessible. This is a great place for an extended family or a family with kids-a real homelike getaway. I would definitely rent again. When hotels in the area are so ridiculously high priced, this is really something to consider if you have more than one hotel room full of people. It fit the 6 of us comfortably and there was interesting artwork all around! Thanks, Claire, we loved it.

Quaint & Cozy

Enjoyed are stay at the camp. The outside flowers, bird feeders and deck were peaceful. Had fun watching the birds feed and the chipmunks and squirrels trying to get to the feeders.Our property manager/owner was very good at communicating with us.The only detriment was the beach. Due to the spring thaw and flooding there was numerous amount of driftwood in the sand near shore; which made it difficult for wading. I was told by a couple of locals this was due to the rivers that flow into the lake. Small children would have problems, although we didn't have any.We would recommend this rental to other family members and friends.
