Nestled right on the shores of Malletts Bay, this delightful waterfront home offers breathtaking, panoramic views of the stunning Lake Champlain. Perfectly situated near local attractions, you'll still enjoy the tranquility of a private lakeside sanctuary. Outdoor lovers will be in paradise with an abundance of nearby parks, hiking trails, and the opportunity to explore nature at its finest. For an added touch of relaxation, why not book a fishing charter and enjoy a serene outing? Cast your line and unwind as you take in the beauty of the water—an experience that’s truly second to none.

Step into your perfect getaway, where gleaming hardwood floors, chic furnishings, and soaring ceilings set the tone for an unforgettable stay.

The chef in your group will be thrilled with the spacious, updated kitchen, complete with sparkling granite countertops, plenty of cabinet space, and a full suite of top-tier stainless steel appliances—including a double oven.
When the weather’s warm, the private pool in the backyard will be the place to be for fun and relaxation. Inside, stay comfortable year-round with central air conditioning during the summer, or cozy up in front of the gas fireplace in the cooler months. With free WiFi, a dedicated workstation, and plenty of space to unwind, you'll have everything you need to work or play.

For dinner, head out to the deck for a family cookout on the gas grill, or gather around in the well-appointed living areas for some downtime. When it's time to rest, the beautifully furnished bedrooms are ready to offer a peaceful retreat—especially the primary bedroom, which boasts an en suite bath and direct access to the outdoors via the three-season room.

Perfect home base for Lake Champlain and UVM
The house was perfect! We rented as a ‘home base’ for a weekend in Burlington visiting my daughter. The house was spacious, well appointed, and spotless. Location was great. It’s an easy 15 minute drive to Burlington and the location next to Lake Champlain was great. I would recommend this house and will likely rent it again when we visit my daughter.

Labor Day Stay
Nice property in good neighborhood w/ a great Lake view and big kitchen. Good home for our family of 6. Pool was not heated as promised, poor communication there. Could use some tech upgrades. Dynamic pricing made it very expensive.

Beautiful House across street to Lake Champlain
Spacious 4 bedroom 2 full bath house with garage. Very comfortable indoors. Kitchen included ample dishware and cooking materials. Everyone loved the house, but the pool was not heated as requested and it was dirty. The lake is across the rode and down a very steep staircase. Three out of five of our group were over 65 and it was too difficult to get down to the beach. This was not explained in the rental description. We still enjoyed our trip as we attended a family wedding.

Lovely Home on Malletts Bay
The house was everything that was described in the listing. There was ample room for the five sisters that were gathered for leaf peaking and great places to gather in the large living room and the four season room. The views from the house of Lake Champlain were wonderful and a walk along the lake in the morning was inspiring.

Lovely home. Good stay.
Lovely home in a nice neighborhood that is convenient to everything. Beautiful view of the lake, which is right outside your window. Nice pool and sunroom. Dealing with Vacasa before the trip was challenging and there were some minor broken things inside as well as some cleaning issues, but overall a nice stay.

Beautiful home
Very large home, beautiful and spacious with many of your cooking items available for use. We experienced a couple issues regarding our agreement that we were able to settle quickly. Communication was also a slight issue, give yourself ample time if you have questions. Other than that everything was great and we had a great time!

Beautiful property in a great neighborhood
The place was just as advertised. Clean and spacious within a beautiful neighborhood walking distance to parks for the kids, across the street to lake access, and an easy drive to downtown Burlington. From playing yard games, to grilling out by the pool, to sitting on the peaceful little beach at the lake, and cooking in the chefs kitchen, a great time was had by adults and toddlers alike. I was worried after reading reviews about VACASA property management but we had no troubles communicating with them for minor issues. Pack toiletries and cleaning supplies that are typically standard at a rental. We spent a week with a group of 8 and there were very limited supplies provided which I mentioned to the property group.

Mixed Experience
Overall this is a very nice home and beautifully located on the lake. The place was clean, very comfortable and had a well-stocked kitchen. In terms of the property itself, I would give this place 5 stars! Our challenges had to do with the check-in process and a lack of hot water. We got a text midafternoon that the home was ready for early check-in. We arrived around 2:00 but could not access the house with the code that had been provided. Once we contacted Vacasa, they informed us of a lockbox with a separate key but the lockbox was empty. After several phone calls back and forth, we were told that the local Vacasa representative "wasn't answering his phone" and that someone was driving from 2 hours away to get us into the house. Around 6:00 (4 hours after our arrival), we were finally able to get into the home. When we attempted to do dishes after dinner, we discovered that there was no hot water in the kitchen sink. Further investigating revealed that only the master bathroom had hot water but he kitchen and second bathroom did not. We made the best of the situation by bringing hot water from the master bathroom to the kitchen to do dishes but this certainly had an impact on our ability to use the kitchen, take showers, etc.

Beautiful House with View of Malletts Bay
We stayed at this house in mid-January, despite having only one review on VBRO, so I hope to give the reader more insight into this really nice house! There are three large, comfortable bedrooms, two nice bathrooms (both with double sinks), a fantastic kitchen open to the living area, with a gas fireplace, and a dining room. There are two other rooms: a sunroom, we did not go out onto (being January and all), and an office nook - not needed for our stay. There is also a laundry/mud room and a two car garage. The bedrooms and beds were very comfortable. (Everyone bed was used and everyone said they were comfortable.) The kitchen was fully stocked - pots, pans, cookie sheets, bowls, utensils, plates, etc... also small salt, pepper, olive oil, cooking spray, an assortment of teas, and sugar. Basically, they had everything we needed for two dinners for 8 people. Honestly, I would absolutely stay here again - winter or summer. (There is a pool!) We did have two gripes, 1) had a fuse blow on the kitchen island as we were preparing dinner, and because the house is (newly) managed but a large management company with out a local rep, we were left without a working microwave or dishwasher for more than 12 hours, as we did not have access to the fuse box/circuit board. When a rep did finally call us back, they said they were working on a local person, but this new property did not yet have one. Until that happened, I would easily give this house a 5 out of 5. Once the rental management company gets their act together, I'm sure it will be a real find! 2) There is a basement apartment, which is not listed in the description. A tenant lives there. They were find, nice, etc... but we needed to move our cars because they, too, needed to get in and out. Everyone in our party agreed this house is fabulous. Although the house isn't brand new, everything was freshly painted and looks new. The floors honestly glistened. And it felt very, very clean. We would stay again, if they get a local rep for their management.
