About this property

Little City Big Heart

  • Picture this: you pull up to a quiet street in Vergennes — Vermont's smallest and oldest city — and step into a home that's ready for the whole crew. The kitchen, dining, and living room flow together in one open space, so nobody's stuck cooking alone while everyone else hangs out. On cool evenings from fall through spring, the gas fireplace crackles while the kids disappear downstairs into their own playroom, toys and all, giving the adults a little breathing room upstairs.

    When it's time to turn in, there's a bed for everyone: a queen with its own attached bathroom, a queen plus a crib for the littlest guest, a full bed, two twins for siblings or friends sharing a room, and one more full bed on the main floor for anyone who'd rather skip the stairs. Five bedrooms in all, so nobody's sleeping on a couch.

    Step outside and the evening shifts gears — an outdoor kitchen and firepit means dinner and s'mores can both happen right in the backyard, no one stuck indoors while the rest of the group enjoys the fresh air.

    And then there's the location: leave the car in the driveway and just walk. Downtown Vergennes is a few minutes on foot — historic Main Street shops, restaurants, the Opera House, and Otter Creek Falls tumbling right through the middle of town. Lake Champlain, Button Bay State Park, and the Maritime Museum are all a short drive away if you want to venture further, but honestly, you might not want to leave the neighborhood at all.

    It's the kind of place where cousins reunite, parents actually relax, and everyone goes home already planning the next trip.
    **The garage and the shed are NOT available for use.**

    Our Home has an attached garage and a shed in the backyard- these are both off limits and not part of the rental use.

    We are very flexible and easy to contact by cell

    We live in a quiet neighborhood with great neighbors all around us- please just be considerate of them also

    Our home is just a short walk into the heart of the city-Because we are a small city our Uber and Taxi staff are pretty slim but we do have them

    We do have a nest doorbell on the front porch

    During snowy weather, the road will be plowed and walkways shoveled. Because the house sits behind an open field, drifting snow is possible. A snow shovel is available (outside on the porch), along with a bucket of sand/salt for icy walkways. Please use caution on snowy or icy surfaces — access and use are at your own risk.

A Comfortable and Welcoming Place to Stay

My family has stayed here before when visiting Vergennes and we liked it so much I immediately thought of it when co-workers were coming to Vergennes to stay the week on a business trip. They all found it comfortable and welcoming and enjoyed the house very much. We would certainly stay here again!

Beautiful home in a great location!

We had the best stay at Tammie’s home. The house was beautiful and very clean. It was exactly what we were looking for for our weekend in Vermont. Tammie was great to communicate with and made us feel welcome in her home. Would absolutely stay again next time we are in the area.

Wonderful Weekend in Vergennes

This house was perfect for our weekend in Vergennes. Having a roomy and comfortable home to go to in between wedding events was just what we needed and it gave the 8 of us our own spaces to spread out. This home had everything we needed and more. Tammie was very responsive from booking to checking out. If we have a reason to go to the Burlington area again we will absolutely stay here again!

Great stay with family

While it was a quick weekend trip, the welcoming home made it very relaxing. Plenty of space inside and bedrooms for everyone, but also a great patio and front porch to enjoy as well. In the lead up to our stay, Tammie was also very communicative making it stress free. Hope to enjoy again!

Cozy Home Close to Slopes and Schools

Our stay was a combination of visiting colleges and catching a little skiing time, and the house was the perfect place to rest in between. Very clean, tons of room, a well-equipped kitchen, gas fireplace, and comfortable beds made for relaxing evenings. Highly recommended!

We had a great stay at Tammie's property, a lot of amenities and personal touches that made us feel welcome! Great location for a mixed group of skiers/non-skiers where some folks spent time in Burlington while others skied at the Sugarbush area. Highly recommend!
