This cottage was in ideal location about midway on the Burlington Bike Path and less than a quarter mile from the trail on a quiet road. And Colchester is a much quieter area than Burlington and without the parking hassles.It was very well provisioned and very comfortable with an enclosed porch convenient for bikes, a nice sun room, well equipped kitchen, comfortable living area, an outdoor picnic table, and kayaks.We also took a couple of walks on the Lake Champlain beach just steps from the property.Both the owner and the nearby property manager were responsive and helpful.We had a wonderful time on our first trip to the Burlington area for biking and hiking. We want to return for kayaking.

Excellent Stay

We loved our stay at this cozy place! Very clean and great location. Steps to the lake and we spent some time on the bike path with the bikes provided. Would stay here again in a heartbeat.

Just as described, we enjoyed a bit of coolness and color. Was able to get around easily. Too cold for us desert lizards to actually get in the water, but great views!

We loved it!

The perfect camp for our getaway! We had enough room, peace and quiet, close to town, but out away from others. Thank you so much for opening your beautiful camp to us!
