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!

We had a great sister vacation at Claire’s cottage. We were right on the water and close to downtown Burlington. The cottage and yard was filled with beautiful whimsical pieces and the birds were a joy to watch!

We loved it! We road the Colchester causeway. We rode into town, Burlington. The location was perfect for both of those trip!

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.

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!

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.

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!

Family gathering
Great location, close to Burlington but felt miles away from the hustle and bustle. Lovely views of the water with easy access to the beach. Would definitely stay here again when in Burly in the summer.

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.

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.

Loved the huge deck
We loved being so close to the lake and having a view of it from the huge deck and the sun porch. While the cottage is small for 3 couples and might be better for a family with kids, we made it work and were comfortable (my adult daughter and her boyfriend had to sleep in bunk beds but they were fine with it). The large deck outside, with chairs and a table gave us room to spread out and the beach is right there. The cottage is also right on the bike path, which we loved. The kitchen was well stocked and comfortable to cook in. Beds were also very comfortable. We had a lovely 6 nights at the house.

The Perfect Little Getaway
Our stay at Claire's home could not have been more delightful! We journeyed to Burlington to visit our son who is a student at UVM and having the cottage to go home to each day was amazing. Morning walks on the beach in the brisk October breeze and watching the spectacular sunsets each evening were a highlight. The fully stocked cottage kitchen had everything we needed, the beds were super comfy, and even though the space was small, their was plenty of room for our family to hang out and enjoy each others company (inside and outside). The cottage isn't fancy but it is clean and super cute with accents of unique art all around giving it lots of personality. I would highly recommend this cottage to anyone! Claire was a wonderful host, and answered any question I had within minutes. We can't wait to get back!

Cozy cottage
We enjoyed our early Fall stay. Everything worked out well. It’s a cute cottage with a short walk down to the lake. The cottage is located close to the causeway for biking and convenient to both Burlington and hiking destinations. Claire was a superlative host to work with: speedy responses and sensitive to challenges and concerns of travel during pandemic times.

Great location!
The cottage was great -- just as advertised. It was so great to be right on the water, right on the bike trail, and only 15-20 minutes to Burlington. My teenage daughter and I toured the UVM campus, ate great meals in town, and then were happy to return to the peaceful cottage. Claire is an excellent host. Her responses to all of my questions were incredibly kind and prompt.

Great getaway
Beautiful sunsets, outdoor patio and grill, short walk down private path to quiet beach. Everyone leaves their chairs down by the beach, which makes it simple. The lake is shallow for a long stretch before it gets deep and it's sandy the whole way out. The location is close enough to Burlington for a day or evening out. We enjoyed walking everyday on the nearby path to the park. Rossi's restaurant has great burgers. We will come here again! Claire, the owner was great!

Relaxing beach cottage
We loved our stay at Claire's cottage in Colchester. We enjoyed sitting on the patio, swimming in Lake Champlain, and there was plenty of room for us and our two kids. The kitchen had everything we needed and the beds were comfortable.

Great location, beach access, awesome sandy beach and lake
The Murphy's place on Mallet's Bay was a great getaway for our family of 4. The house had everything we needed and a few extras, like a kids' kayak and a paddle board. The kitchen is well-equipped and has some basics like spices, flour, sugar, salt, pepper, etc. The grocery store is not far, as is the pharmacy. The lake and beach are awesome - easy access right down the sandy path from the back deck. The water is shallow for a while, so our family could hang out in the water all together or head out on our canoe to explore or go fishing.
The outdoor space on the deck is small but highly functional. The back deck table has a great cover over it for seeking out shade and the property has some lovely shade trees as well.
The helpful neighbor made check in and check out easy and even supplied us with dish soap and some emergency benadryl when our son got stung on the face by a deer fly.
My kids asked to stay here again, which is great praise, and may have to do with both the beach/lake access, but also the Netflix/ROKU tv in the living room, which got nightly use. We also used the bike path daily for walks and running - if you have a bike, I highly recommend bringing it!! The ride to Burlington is great.
Overall, a great family getaway location! Thank you!!!

Perfect spot for a weekend away!!
We stayed at this adorable cottage for only two nights but it was fantastic. Super clean and had everything we needed for our stay. We were there in mid October so no swimming but the beach didn’t disappoint. The sunsets and even sunrises were beautiful. Close enough to Burlington we were able to go over for the day and then go back to our little oasis. Really enjoyed our stay and would love to go back again.

Wonderful weekend
The house was clean, comfortable and had a great personality! The lake view and short walk to the beach was our favorite! I would recommend for a close stay to Burlington where you can feel like you are miles away from it all!

Would definitely stay again!

Just the right summer retreat for our family of 4.
We immensely enjoyed our stay. The cottage was perfect for our family of four. There was more than enough space for us. The front sitting area has a beautiful breeze and beautiful views of the lake. Our young girls loved playing in the lake- there was just enough sandy beach for my husband and I to relax on while the girls played in the water.
We enjoyed so much in both Colchester and Burlington while we stayed here. And we enjoyed just sitting in the cottage, reading, looking out on the lake and making s’mores.
We absolutely hope to come back again next year. This really is an excellent find.

This is a very nice and comfortable cabin. Our kids had a great time on the beach and the views across the lake are beautiful. Makes for a great base to explore Lake Champlain.

Lovely place, perfect location
The cottage is beautiful and comfortable. We were able to enjoy sun, shade, swimming, sitting on the beach, outdoor dining and a romantic evening fire all within steps of the front door. Claire was a wonderful host, we look forward to returning in the future.
