Completely Fully furnished 2 bedroom cottage, Queen sized bed in the Large bedroom and a twin sized bed in the second bedroom. As if your plans are not enough we have a smattering of books or you can go old school with a deck of cards.
We love our cottage and our neighbors so a few guidelines are in order
Clean up it has been our experience that over the years our guest cleans up after themselves so our cleaning fee is very low.
For our Winter 30 day plus guest, snow removal and trash pick up not included
This cabin was so beautiful and well decorated. The lake and surroundings are peaceful and magical. I would love to stay in this property again!
We had traveled to the area, in hopes of seeing the Northern Lights. We read that Mallets Bay was a top location, due to minimal light pollution. It was a dark new moon weekend, but overcast and there didn't seem to be any actual solar activity. There was also much more light pollution than we expected. That said, we enjoyed our weekend in the Burlington area and might return to this property for kayaking & summer activities. It is a -frills home, but was spotlessly clean and comfy. The heater was noisy, so we closed the bed room door. This made the bedroom cool, but the comforter and bed were very comfortable. Our only beef was that the guitar was out of tune and a picture was crooked ;-) . Enjoy!
The location is perfect. The house had all the necessary essentials. Good size.Use of the owners kayaks are a blessing … we biked the Causway from right outside our door to Burlington! Great for the price! I have stayed on Lake Champlain several times. Love it
Thoroughly enjoyed the lake house and access to the Lake and walking the causeway/bike paths. Glorious time of year to be in Mallets Bay!!
We had to cancel at the last minute and Albert handled it with his usual friendliness and professionalism. We missed staying at his wonderful cottage and hope to be back next year.
Well equiped house in a very quiet environment. It is not the most modern house in the life but it was ok. The only negative comment we have is that we were annoyed by the droplets falling from the roof on the air conditionner outside the bedroom (please do something) all night long (it rained a little in the evening). Otherwise it was perfect.
Generally a quite good stay. Never really got the ants under control in the kitchen. Good prep a challenge. Vegetation a little overgrown. Kathryn
Charming cabin just across small road to Lake Champlain. Pleasant spot, though minimal direct view of lake, due to early summer foliage. Nice firepit and Adirondack chairs alongside firepit. Ck in was a little awkward, as it was chilly, and owner had set gas heater on 64 degrees. Intro note at property requested tenants Not adjust temp, so we called owner. He came over and turned up heat. HOWEVER, the obviously old gas heater was Very noisy. So much so that it was impossible to listen to music. Called owner back. His solution -- frankly, after a bit of shoulder shrugging -- was to fetch a plug-in radiator from another of his properties next door. That, along with ceiling fan, worked okay...though we sometimes also needed gas oven on cold mornings. The oven definitely needed cleaning, however, so had to leave on fan and slightly open a few windows to minimize oven odors. Bottom line: cabin Definitely needs a heater upgrade. Advertised access to canoe/kayak wasn't completely accurate, as they were positioned on a rack, alongside a 5-6 ft high rock ledge, adjacent the lakeshore. There was narrow metal stairway leading down the ledge to the water. It would seem that using the kayak/canoe would require somehow lowering down the stairs? In our view, that would be a cumbersome job, even for 2 people. Other than the above, the property was charming and comfortable.
Terrible bathroom, if you want to call it that
A great place to stay with lake access and access to the Colchester Causeway. Albert is responsive and helped us out, a relaxing and restful place to stay.
The cottage was clean and comfortable. Easy access to Burlington. Great for a short visit to the area. Highly recommend it.
Quiet neighborhood a short drive from Burlington, right by the not-to-be-missed bike/walk causeway, and steps from a rocky beach on Lake Champlain. Two kayaks, fun, funky decor. Good wireless and kitchen tools and appliances. On the not-so-plus side, there was a persistent musty/cigarette smell that was worse when the AC unit was on, and the floors in two of the rooms are significantly unlevel.
We have been renting houses through VBRO for many years. The houses have always been exceptionally clean and well maintained. So needless to say, we were very disappointed when we walked into the house and found it was not as clean and well maintained, as we expected a rental to be. My husband did enjoy playing the guitar and the keyboard, that was a plus for him.
Nice little cabin type place. Very close to Lake and causeway for a walk or bike ride. Clean. Owner communication good. Nice quiet stay. Close to Burlington.
