Everything was top notch! Super clean and well appointed with a spectacular view over Mallets Bay, this was a wonderful place to have as a home base while exploring the area. Check in was a breeze and the hosts were incredibly friendly and helpful. The spiral staircase down to the lower level bedroom may be a challenge for those with limited mobility but we had no problems with it. The bedroom on the main floor is easily accessed. WiFi and television worked perfectly, the kitchen is fully equipped, and the beds were fresh and comfortable. We would definitely stay again!

Lovely place. Will have to visit in summer

Lovely place and a perfect size for our family of four and dogs. The view from this house is spectacular that we wished we came in the summer but, for a nice family getaway it was a gem. Stephanie was amazing she was great at communicating with us and let us stay an extra night since a snowstorm was incoming the day we were going to leave. Can not recommend this place enough.

Lakeside Coziness

Stephanie was wonderful and very welcoming to our little family. The property was easily accessible to Burlington-15 min drive to everywhere, maximum. Easy access to the Causeway and great nearby food. The road next to the property is busy, but you don't notice it. Loved waking up everyday to the stellar view and cozy atmosphere.

Cute stay close to Burlington

Very cute and clean stay outside of downtown Burlington. The beds were both very comfortable, and we appreciated the provided amenities. It was a quick 10-15 minute drive to downtown Burlington and 40th minutes to Waterbury (Ben and Jerry’s). I would stay here again and hope to bring my pup next time!

Great Malletts Bay vacation

Very nice property. Great location for the things we do there. If it was my place I'd ditch the round table and chairs. Replace with 2 comfortable chairs and another coffee table. Overall its a great property and i would recommend to others.

This property was just as lovely as it looks in the pictures! The views on the lake were perfect- sunrise and sunset were breathtaking from both the living area and master bedroom.
