Will have to visit in summer Lovely place and a perfect size for our family of four and dogs. The view from this house is spectacular that we wished we came in the summer but, for a nice family getaway it was a gem. Stephanie was amazing she was great at communicating with us and let us stay an extra night since a snowstorm was incoming the day we were going to leave. Can not recommend this place enough. ##### Dennis C.

The beds were both very comfortable, and we appreciated the provided amenities. It was a quick 10-15 minute drive to downtown Burlington and 40th minutes to Waterbury (Ben and Jerry’s). I would stay here again and hope to bring my pup next time! ##### Hillary H.

Great location for the things we do there. If it was my place I'd ditch the round table and chairs. Replace with 2 comfortable chairs and another coffee table.

Kayaks were accessible and the kids loved it! Would come again! ##### Laura S.

It’s very close to the road which wouldn’t have been a problem but the night construction was bright and loud. Earplugs and using the basement bedroom helped a lot ! I would not hesitate to rent this lovely home again. I will though check to make sure no construction is scheduled. I’m sure it was a one time thing. ##### Carmela S. Stayed 6 nights in Sep 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Brian B., Pensacola 19 Jun 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great Property! This was our second stay at this property. First-time, it was covered in snow and ice and we loved it. This time it was summer and loved it again. My wife and I came up from Pensacola, FL to work on our daughters nearby house and just don’t think we could find a finer place to stay. Very well equipped, great views, comfortable, and convenient to grocery stores and restaurants. Our next trip will most likely be based again on the availability of this property. ##### Brian B. Stayed 5 nights in Jun 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Lisa L. 12 Oct 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Bike Burlington Great stay close to the bike trail across the causeway and bike ferry. This is a beautiful ride water on both sides some wild wind. The cottage was beautiful, clean and tight on the water. It had a wonderful view of the mountains and sailboats. My 93 year old mom enjoyed the house. It was spotless with comfortable beds. It is on a busy road so if your a light sleeper pick the very quiet room downstairs. It was nice to have kyaks available. ##### Lisa L. Stayed 4 nights in Oct 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kathy S., Englewood Florida USA 13 Jun 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### A great time on Lake Champlain A beautiful setting on the lake. This cottage is located to many hiking and interesting places to visit. We were able to easily travel to a variety of hiking spots and lakes. Essex spa is close enough, as is the beautiful town of Burlington. We were able to take a ferry to NY Lake Placid too. I would defintly recommend this property. Our group was some friends from high school that reunited in our 60s. We stayed here 10 days. ##### Kathy S. Stayed 10 nights in Jun 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Elise G., Dallas 24 Oct 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Immaculate Lakeshore Cottage Cozy, comfy, with everything a traveler could want, located right on the shoreline of a small marina. I especially appreciated how absolutely immaculate the entire cottage is. There are two bedrooms - we stayed downstairs because it's bigger with a lovely view. A note for mobility issues - the curving stairs down are pretty steep, so the main floor/upstairs bedroom would be the better room. Stephanie was very welcoming, kind, and responsive. We couldn't have asked for a better experience! ##### Elise G. Stayed 8 nights in Oct 2023
