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.

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.

Lovely cozy cottage on Lake Champlain
The cottage was clean, well appointed and cozy! Not far from downtown Burlington by car, and beach access. Beds were comfy and we had a lovely stay. Be watchful of the driveway in arrival if you come after dark—it’s not evident from the street at first glance. Hosts were helpful and communicative.

Lovely camp with everything you want + need
Our stay was absolutely wonderful. The property is in a little neighborhood that is quiet and beautiful with views of the lake and Adirondacks. The kitchen had everything we needed to make our meals and enjoy time together. We loved the fire pit outside and the option to sit under the canopy in the rain. It felt very nice to spend time as a family in someone’s family cabin/camp. We enjoyed playing board games in the evening as well. I cannot say enough great things! We hope to stay again in the future. Thanks for Claire and her family for the great getaway!

This is a truly lovely cottage! There is a view of Lake Champlain (partly obstructed by a couple of other cottages, but still very nice), and it's only a one minute walk along a footpath to the beach (no road crossings involved). There is a nice outdoor deck as well as an enclosed porch, both sharing the lakeview. The only significant downside is that there is almost no sound insulation between the rooms. Would definitely stay here again!

We had a wonderful stay at the cottage this fall. it was a nice alternative to staying at a hotel because it is a home and has everything you’d need to feel comfortable. We enjoyed the kitchen and the fireplace and the cozy atmosphere. I hope to be back some other time in the spring when we can enjoy the patio and the lake as well.

About the host

Hosted by Claire Murphy

Host profile image
We bought this place so that I could spend summers with my girls that were 3 and 5 at the time. They had a wonderful time at the lake and now they come back with their children. All our friends and relatives still remember the wonderful days spent at the Vermont cottage.

Why they chose this property

This property is ideal because of the lake views and it's proximity to Burlington Vt. Parents have come here while visiting their teens at UVM or Champlain college. You can do as much or as little as you want during your stay.

What makes this property unique

Sun, sand, fresh air and relaxation.
