About this house rental

Find inspiration on the shores of Lake Champlain at this quintessential lakeside getaway: a Colchester vacation home with a lovely patio and lawn, sweeping waterfront views, and you own sandy beach. With few distractions in a peaceful rural setting, the quaint lakefront living at this home will win over your heart. You could easily spend full days boating and fishing on the lake, but if you'd like to explore in town, downtown Burlington is only minutes away with shopping, dining, and entertainment options for all ages. Outdoor enthusiasts will appreciate a trip to the 584-acre Niquette Bay State Park, which sits on the north shores of Malletts Bay nine miles to the northeast. There's also a renowned farmer's market in Burlington, so pick up some fresh Vermont-grown produce!

Spend quality time with the ones you love in this home's cozy, cabin-like interior. Full of rustic accents, including comfortable furnishings, new bathroom flooring, exposed beam ceilings, and knotty pine walls, the interior provides the perfect refuge needed for relaxation at the end of an activity-filled day.

Head outside on clear days to take in the beautiful views of Lake Champlain and watch boats sail by from the home's sprawling lawn. Outside you'll also find a bi-level patio, which is the perfect place for a picnic or a barbecue - fire up the gas grill! Just beyond the deck lies the sandy shorefront for sunbathing and swimming.

Back in the kitchen, pots, pans, and plenty of other cookware combine with standard appliances for quick and easy meal prep. Lay out pre-meal snacks on the ample counter, then, when the main entrees are ready, move over to the adjacent table with bench and chair seating for your whole group.

With a washer/dryer, you can pack light, and with WiFi throughout, you'll stay connected to friends and family online.

Witness the beauty of Lake Champlain and find numerous adventures steps away from this waterfront vacation home. Book it today!

We absolutely loved the lakefront views at the Thayer Beach house. The interior is awesome if you're looking for more classic lake house cabin vibes. Definitely nothing fancy - original appliances, no obvious remodels, no dishwasher. We loved it!

The property was excellent, of course...on the water, facing west, very quiet, immaculate neighborhood. Bit of an old, musty smell - like an old camp. Did not bother us but it was there. Very easy directions and instructions for use of the property. Uber was easy picking up and dropping off. Towels and linens were very clean. Thank you for a great stay.

My wife and I loved being here. It was a fantastic location and we enjoyed sunsets and people, boat, and birdwatching. The beds were super comfortable and it was very restful to sleep with the windows open and hear the birds chirping. The description is a little over the top with the 'sprawling back yard' and 'two-level patio' and 'sandy beach' - the yard and outdoor space are fine, if a little worse for wear. The property's beach is rocks, which again is fine, and you can walk down the beach towards the sandy areas if you walk in front of the neighboring house. This is not really a complaint about the house or property at all, just a comment on the glowing description which is, like all marketing, a little bit BS-ey. We elected not to use the washer and dryer because they are outside, through a padlocked shed, in a cellar under the house. That's not exactly clear in the description either, and I can see why. :-) My only serious complaint is that apparently the water is non-potable and we were not informed, so we drank the water all week long. I don't expect there to be any serious issues from that, but it seems like a pretty important thing to be notified about and we were not. Attempting to ask about it at the end of our trip through the VRBO app resulted in 4 or 5 different Vacasa support people saying they were sorry and hoping we had a good time anyway, but I didn't feel like we got a straight answer from the owner in a timely fashion.

Great stay...loved all the wood. Great view. The only thing i wished they would have done was snow plowed the driveway (or shoveled it).

Great location on the lake with very nice views. Nice clean facilities. All amenities available in the cottage. Did not get to use the outside due to cold weather but had a good setup outside as well.

Rustic house (cabin?) with a nice log cabin like feel on the inside. It's an older home (1950) but served its purpose for our stay. Location is awesome, right on the lake at the end of a dead end road. Very quiet. Water is non-potable which wasn't in the listing we saw but wasn't a big deal. Just be aware and bring bottled water.

The lake and location are great, super quiet street. The house has more furniture now than pictured above, and as noted in older reviews the mattresses are all pretty new. That said, the bathroom/shower had lots of black mold and the kitchen sink had layers of mold/mildew in it. Also the windows leaked when it rained (it was pretty windy as well but there was water coming in through the bottom of the sill). Just needs some basic maintenance and better cleaning!
