About this property

Burlington Walkabout Peaceful City Retreat-Walk to EVERYTHING downtown.

You will love this completely remodeled, late 1800's duplex. We have full time tenant/caretakers in the front apt, with the short term rental in the back of the house. It's a luxurious suite, with all the amenities for a relaxing, delightful stay in Burlington! Uniquely situated with a private covered deck and off street parking. This is a one bedroom, one bath efficiency apartment. The open living space has a full galley kitchen & stackable washer/dryer. A high efficiency cold climate heat pump heats and cools the unit. There is a natural gas firplace for ambiance and extreme cold weather provides heat back up to the heat pump system. A very high quality queen sofa sleeper ( Note: NO cross bar ) sleeps 2 for additional guests, maximum 4. The apt comfortably sleeps 4, but the space is small. NO MORE THAN 4 PEOPLE ALLOWED, STRICT FIRE CODE.
NO PARTIES ALLOWED, NO EXCEPTIONS. The 3 season covered porch adds more space to move about and relax, with a sofa, chairs and table. The very large porch windows give you a sense of being outside, with privacy shades-a great place to take an afternoon nap during warmer weather. There is a private, fenced in yard, shared with our on-site tenants/caretakers who live in the front apt. Please respect their space-there is a separate table and chairs near the porch for your use, the rest of the yard/furniture belongs to the full time tenants. PLEASE NOTE: Both apartments have separate, private entrances. You will enter your apt at the rear of the house, through the back yard gated entrance. The SIDE PORCH BELONGS TO THE FRONT APT NOT THE SHORT TERM RENTAL. We've included many nice touches like organic bed linens, marble kitchen countertops, subway tiled shower, heated bathroom and kitchen floors for cooler weather comfort. Included also is a high quality Nikken Air Wellness filtration system-making the "Burlington Walkabout" truly a health and wellness retreat. You have off street parking for max. 2 vehicles. Parking on the right side of the driveway on the cobblestone ( The left side of driveway is the caretakers parking )

Outstanding place in Burly
My wife and I have been visiting Burlington for the past 25 years, whether it be the marathon, our daughter's soccer games at UVM or to visit a venue for a concert, etc. In all that time, we have never stayed over night as there is family nearby as well as a condo at Jaypeak that we own. This place was perfect. The owners took great care to stock the 400 square foot place with almost everything one could need. The kitchen is understandably small but well stocked with cooking items, some necessary spices, as well as a full sized fridge. The bathroom has soap, shampoo, etc. available, as well as the tub being shaped at the top that if one took a bath, you could lean back and feel comfortable. My wife fell in love with the shower head and attached water wand, as well as the hair turbans. It was too cold to take advantage of the quaint back porch, but hopefully we will during warmer weather. The living room area had a great gas fireplace and large television to watch the NCAA games. Although we did not spend a lot of time at the place, when we came home from the Sarah Potter concert at the Flynn or enjoying nights out in town, it was cozy and comfortable. The hosts were in touch and all went well. The place in walking distance of most anything in the heart of Burlington. We will be going back again.

Great spot
Great location! Clean and had everything we needed. Can walk everywhere downtown - to water, stores, restaurants, and bike path. Off street parking is a huge plus in Burlington. Convenient to ski mountains and local snowshoeing/ cross country ski center. Will definitely stay here again!

We loved this little cottage! It’s cozy and perfectly located just a short walk from the waterfront and amazing walking/bike paths. Great restaurants and shops and even a food co-op are all close by.

Cozy, Safe & Convenient
Steps from downtown's most delightful attractions, the Walkabout feels secluded and safe. The Walkabout is curated with eclectic touches and top-notch apartment-sized appliances.. It even has a gas fireplace AND air conditioning. We didn't have time to use the picnic table outside, but it looked inviting. Love the off-street, dedicated parking spot. Would visit again in a heartbeat.

Perfect!
I had a wonderful stay! I was visiting my son at UVM and this was a perfect location. I was 5 minutes from UVM and a block away from so much-the lake, great restaurants, bakeries, bike rentals and Church street. I felt safe and comfortable and enjoyed every minute in this adorable, clean and well stocked apartment!

Burlington first timers
We loved our stay in this cozy and peaceful listing. The accommodations were very comfortable and we had everything that we needed for a fun visit. It was in a great location, just blocks from the lake. There were great places to eat nearby and we didn’t need to drive anywhere. We really enjoyed walking around and exploring Burlington.

Lovely alternative to a hotel
I have to admit I was a little skeptical when all the reviews were 10 out of 10. Happily, the apartment lives up to its reputation. It was extremely clean and comfortable, very well-equipped, check-in and check-out were simple, and the location is convenient. I will definitely be looking to see if this place is available the next time I visit my Champlain student.

About the host

Hosted by Laurie and Mark Kotorman

Host profile image
Laurie and Mark have been hosts for almost 10 years and are "Superhosts" ( which means we are highly rated and proven our commitment to providing great stays for our guests ) with other short term vacation rental sights. We are "outdoors" people! Mark enjoys golf, Laurie likes to garden, run, practice and teach Pilates and is an Integrative Nutrition Health Coach. Mark and Laurie regularly participate in a volunteer bible education work in the community. We are Real Estate investors, Vermont is our home base.

Why they chose this property

This property is a gem in the middle of the city. We purchased this property from a friend, and feel like we hit the jackpot! It is very hard to find great locations like this in Burlington-they never go on the market, people hang on to them. It is quiet, safe, and you can park your car and walk to everything. We live 5 minutes away in Burlington and can be available to assist when needed. Additionally, we have great tenants/caretakers in the front apt. for emergencies, or when we are away. IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR A PLACE TO HOST A PARTY, THIS PLACE IS NOT FOR YOU. We are sorry if this sounds harsh, but we have had a couple of incidents, and need to be CLEAR on this. Thank You!

What makes this property unique

WE LOVE this location. Mark and Laurie personally renovated -with some help from contractors and friends ! This late 1800's home is rich in history and is in the Burlington Historical Registry. Originally a single family home, we converted it to a duplex in 2016. Careful attention to detail was important, with marble kitchen counters, heated kitchen and bathroom floors, hand crafted kitchen floor tiles and organic bed linens. The very high quality living room leather couch is very comfy, we spend many hours searching for something we would actually sleep on-NOTE: no cross bar!!! The covered porch is a great place to relax after a day out-take a nap, read a book, enjoy a glass of wine! We love this sweet apartment and know you will enjoy the surroundings, restaurants, boutique shopping on Church St, The beautiful Burlington Waterfront and Bike Path ( that will take you all the way to the rail trial in Colchester and a short bike ferry ride to the lovely Champlain Islands ) Breweries, Whiskey room, Night Life, bike path, lake front all just a few steps away. We are happy to share this Burlington GEM with you!
