Great spot!

The house was wonderful! Everything was just beautiful and the home is centrally located to explore quite a bit of Vermont. The area is serene and peaceful. You couldn't ask for a quieter spot. The lake view is incredible. I would definitely stay here again if we ever get back to Vermont!

a lovely family spot

great home, lots of space, dog-friendly, beautiful lake view. no outdoor amenities (dock, canoe, etc are not included), but wading in the water was pleasant. nice walkable neighborhood, and convenient location to get to restaurants & visit colleges. A bit dusty, but overall a nice stay.

Lovely home on the water

This house was a wonderful find for our group of 8. The open floor plan was great for social time together and the bedrooms were comfortable and well-appointed, as was the kitchen!

Summer breeze made us feel fine

Beautiful view, constant breeze off the lake made for a lovely and comfortable summer visit. Didn’t need AC, just cracked the windows and let the cross breeze work its magic! Beautiful sunsets, quiet area, perfect spot for grandparents that drove up from the South with 2 corgis. Would love to come back again.

Lakeside getaway

This property was beautiful inside and out. The water comes right up to the house and you can hear the waves at night which is so peaceful. It was a quiet location and a great amount of space inside. It was very easy to get in contact with somebody when we needed assistance and I would definitely book this property again!

Colchester Lake House

Amazing location to everything. This is a unique and lovely home with views galore. A few updates needed for the linen. It’s a lake house- we were lucky to be there in September- very few bugs to bother us. I can recommend this as a comfortable place to stay. AND - dog friendly- but we couldn’t bring our pups.

Fun times for UVM graduation

This was a great house for us to stay at to celebrate our son's graduation from UVM. Plenty of room for us, him, aunt & uncle, friend, and dog. We loved the sounds and view of the lake, and found that to be very relaxing. We had a lot of fun playing cards at the big table. The drive into Burlington and UVM was about 20 min, and we had easy access to all the places we wanted to go. We hope to stay here again in the near future.

Wonderful rental experience!

I chose this location because it was right on the water, and pet friendly, prerequisites for our vacation choice. The house is beautiful inside; clean, roomy, and perfect for our family size and gathering. We were celebrating my 70th birthday, and it could not have been a more memorable experience. I highly recommend this home and will definitely return in the future. Thank you.

Winter in paradise

This property was truly unmatched. It was spotless when we arrived. It had everything we needed for our week stay. The views of the mountains and lake in combo with the quiet and peaceful neighborhood made it truly serene. We even extended our stay by a night because we were enjoying ourselves so much. The proximity to Burlington and Winooski was perfect. Thank you for making our wedding week an absolute dream come true.
