Colchester, Vermont
The Best and Closest View of Lake Champlain hands down, no question. It doesn't matter if you are cooking breakfast inside or grilling on the deck during happy hour, you will feel like you're on the flybridge of a boat because all you see is water. Seagulls glide by at eye level as you secretly watch all the action on the broad lake. Weather fronts are easily spotted coming through the Adirondack Mountains across the lake 11 miles away. Boaters and fisherman can check the lake while your still in bed, others can enjoy the beach, ending with sunsets on the deck and a fire in the sand (Lake water is clean with sandy bottom, no weeds). This is not a big cottage but the view is breathtaking. A king bed in one room and built-in bunk bed in the other. Private stairs go down to the water. 1/3 mile to bike path/causeway, 1 mile to park, 2 miles to river boat launch and 3 miles to Bay launch, 7 miles to downtown Burlington. Grocery, pizza, ice cream, 4 miles. Check your stress at the door and enjoy a secluded piece of paradise with a 270 degree view of the Lake and sunsets behind the Adirondack Mountains. Very clean, just remodeled with VT pine and huge sheets of glass so your view is Crystal Clear no matter what the weather. (Lightening Storms- if your lucky) Linens, towels, coffee maker, ice, microwave, cable/dvd/internet, washer-dryer, air conditioning and silverware supplied.

Amazing views from this tucked away cabin. Very close to bike trails. Host helpful and responsive.
We've been staying here for 3 years and it has always been a great vacation everything about the property and the host is always perfect. Very close to the bike trail. Great views and beautiful sunsets.
Location is great for Burlington and surrounding areas. Place is exactly as pictured. Great stay.
We loved the location in Colchester right on the lake, just a short drive to many restaurants & breweries in Burlington. Kayaks & bikes for our 4 family members was very appreciated and convenient. With that said, a huge selling point for this property was the steps onto the beach shown in the listing. We arrived to find it had been completely washed away by the flooding & high water levels that persisted this past summer. The water was above the bottom of the stairs and when the water was clear we could see all the sand has been washed away. While we’re very understanding this is not the fault of the property owner, we were given no prior notice & when I reached out to ask about it, the reply was “the property is exactly as listed” which was a disappointing start to our vacation. Fortunately there was a very small pebble beach (with lots of branches/debris) on the other side of the house that we could use to launch the kayaks. The location and views of the lake are phenomenal!!! The home itself is well maintained, comfortable, and clean. At least until several days into our stay when we saw & heard mice in the kitchen & their droppings on the counter near the sink. This happens in homes & we weren’t extremely squeamish about it, but when we kindly pointed it out to the homeowner in a private message at the end of our stay, primarily for the sake of future guests, we received no response at all. The lack of timely & courteous communication overall was disappointing.
Very quiet, safe neighborhood. Close to trails. Host provided nice bikes and was very responsive to emails/texts. Loved our stay here and will definitely come back!
This was our second year staying here and are looking forward to returning again next year. The views from this location no matter the weather are amazing. Very close to the bike trail which is why we went to Vermont. The layout of the place suited us fine and the bed was very comfortable.
House is comfy, fully stocked with towels, sheets, cookware, etc. Very comfortable and cozy with an amazing view of Lake Champlain. Very enjoyable week
We had a fantastic week at this property. The cottage is cozy, not fancy but very nicely appointed with everything you need for a comfortable stay. The location can’t be beat with amazing views and plenty to do nearby if you can pry yourself away from the deck. Perfect spot to view gorgeous sunsets. The host, Bill, was very responsive and helpful. We’ll be back!
We couldn't have asked for a better spot right on lake champlain. The town of Colchester is a great town as well. and we chose this location to do biking and our location was perfect to get to the bike trails. We spent a lot of our down time enjoying the deck and the scenery. We are hoping to go back next year.
I've stayed many times at different places on Colchester Point, but this location, by far, offers the best vistas of the Lake Champlain, with spectacular sunsets. Even when the weather was not perfect, it's hypnotic to watch the weather roll in from over the lake. We never left the deck! We never tired of hearing the waves on the lake, or finding new things to observe in the grand views, or noticing the wildlife. We saw a mink, rabbits, bald eagles, ospreys and turkey vultures. (The local birds seem to love to glide on the thermals over the point. There were always birds sort of drifting by the deck/windows.). The inside of the cottage is as cozy as the outside is grand. The bed is super comfy, the bathroom was a nice size. The property is well appointed with the things you need, and also offers a bit of luxury with the grill, a great kitchen, and a dishwasher! Highly recommend and we hope to come back again...thank you!
