About this property

Large and Cozy, Scenic Walks, Private Entry, Jacuzzi Tub

Top New VT Host Winner! This private-entry, large master bedroom suite with pillow-topped king bed, breakfast bar, desk and recreation space is ideally located in Malletts Bay, Colchester, less than 15 minutes from Burlington. Walk out the door to the lake, bikepath, park, woods trails, pickleball, snowshoe, skating, kayaking, fishing and breathtaking beach sunsets. Wander nearby natural areas or visit the vibrant downtown areas of Burlington or Winooski, then return to your private suburban getaway and relax in the cozy space complete with jacuzzi tub. Bring your pets! Dogs love the big grassy yard and the private beach down the street.

What you'll find here is a well-lighted brick pathway leading from dedicated off-street parking to your secure private entry. Walking in amidst cheery artwork on dark chocolate-colored walls, you'll notice that the whole space is large and ideally set up for guests. To your right sits the "world's most comfy" king-sized bed. Straight ahead is an 80 inch west window where you can spot the lake through the trees and even watch kitesurfers or skaters if the weather is right. Below there's a convenient workstation and a cheery daybed, and to your right a long dresser and a breakfast nook with coffeemaker, toaster, fridge and microwave. The spacious and clean private bathroom features a shower stall and a standalone tub with powerful jacuzzi jets. Garage parking will keep your car snug in winter or safely house your sports gear in summer.

Convenient location and easy to find, just one mile from the enchanting Colchester Causeway, a reclaimed rail trail that loops three miles into the lake, and the pristine Rossetti Natural Area and Thayer Beach. Downtown Burlington, UVM and Interstate 89 are all less than 15 minutes' drive, and bespoke water fun like Sail Wild Air boat charters are 8 minutes away.

Amenities include private entry, covered garage, en suite bathroom with shower + jacuzzi tub, optional A/C and electric fireplace. Keurig, speedy wifi, minifridge, microwave, shared patio, tv, and games provided. Please note there is not a full kitchen, and for that reason we rarely accept stays longer than than two weeks. Pet comfort items including an orthopedic xl dog bed are available at no charge upon request.

We hope you will come stay with us and welcome you to consider The Chocolate Room your home away from home in Vermont.

The perfect spot

Great place to stay! It is a quiet neighborhood with lake access. This place has everything you need and is so organized. Even real cream in the fridge for your coffee! The host is wonderful, prompt to answer questions but also gives space to just be. The bed was very comfortable and had nice linens. Bathroom was clean and had a great shower, didn’t test out the tub. Out of all the places we stayed on our road trip throughout the Northeast, our pup was most comfortable and relaxed here. The park nearby is great for walks and the neighborhood is also good for walking.

Vermont Visit

Fantastic! Such a clean and pretty and very large room in addition to a nice bathroom with jacuzzi tub. Has everything we needed. Also had a futon, a desk, table, refrigerator, dresser with drawers, Keurig, snacks, electric fireplace, etc. Loved the entryway with bench to take off our shoes. It was so roomy even with all the amenities. We stayed for 7 days. The hostess was so kind and asked us to let her know if there was anything we needed. It was so great bc we could walk to the causeway and walk the bike paths. Loved going to The Guilty Plate right there in Colchester for meals.

The perfect quiet getaway!

I cannot say enough good about KT as a host or the location/property in general. Usually when describing a room as cozy it means small. That isn't the case here - this studio was warm and inviting in every way and much bigger than the pictures tell. KT had a sheet with instructions, a binder full of recommendations, and she had coffee, snacks, extra blankets, and a couple of chocolates nicely displayed for me. Communication was always on point - KT provided the checkin information two days before I arrived, we exchanged numbers in case of a power outage or emergency (which saved me when I accidentally left my rental car lights on!), and the check in and out process was extremely smooth. The private entrance to the room was a plus and easy to get to. All of the instructions provided were clear, concise, and thoughtful. The location is quiet and in a beautiful neighborhood. It's an easy walk down to the bay waterfront beach and there are a couple of easily accessible walking/bike paths in the neighborhood. It's about 15 minutes from the Burlington airport. The bed was huge & comfortable. The heater and air conditioner were both easy to operate & quickly brought the room to a comfortable temperature. The jacuzzi tub was very welcome and easy to operate after a long day of hiking, & the towel warmer was appreciated on the chilly, rainy days I spent there. I would absolutely stay here again & recommend it to anyone wanting a quiet stay in a beautiful neighborhood in NW VT.

This trip was our first overnight outing (2 nights) with our 1yo dog, so we were unsure how it would go. We could not have been happier! The room was attractive, extremely clean, and much larger than we expected. The 3.5'x6.5' pen where our dog sleeps fit with plenty of room to spare for walking around it. KT communicated promptly when we asked questions both before and during our stay and gave us plenty of information and recommendations. Virtually all the amenities we could think of were included. We especially appreciated the mini-fridge, microwave, coffee maker and dishes. This allowed us to bring take out food back to the room since we did not want to leave the dog unattended just yet. Very highly recommend this host and room to anyone but especially if you have pets!

We stayed 4 nights and had a comfortable stay. The location is great — close to our daughter’s house in New North End. The park across the street was beautiful with lots of paths. We walked our dog there every day. The apartment itself was clean and comfortable and just as described. Coffee cups and dishes were provided, but the only place to wash them was in the small bathroom sink. No place to dry except on a towel placed on the dresser. It wasn’t a big deal, but it was a bit awkward. There is a separate entrance for the apartment, but it passes right by the main house back door and windows, and we were aware that we might be disturbing the owner when we came in and out. Overall, this is a nice, comfortable, clean place in a good location if you are staying for a couple of days.

Our Host provided every amenity we could have wanted or needed and her communication was excellent. She went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. We would definitely stay here again.

Warm and Friendly Host

It was a great and cozy place to stay. The host was really kind and even arranged for us to borrow a friend's kayaks, as well as let us use her freezer. The jacuzzi mention was a little misleading, as it was referring to a tub, and the property doesn't have a lake view, as I for some reason thought it would. And there were only slivers of soap available but she said she would bring us better soap if we needed it. Besides that it was a great stay and very comfortable and a nice, tucked-away neighborhood.

About the host

Hosted by KT Taylor

Host profile image
I have lived in Vermont since I was 17 and feel incredibly lucky to have landed here near the lake with so much outdoor beauty and still convenient to Burlington and I89. It's a peaceful, relaxing home and location and it's been my pleasure for the last fifteen years to share it with loved ones, guests and pets. In 2021 I opened this rental suite and was honored to earn the title of "VT's Top New Host of the Year" from a site like this.

Sasha the dog and Sylvie the cat also call this place home. They're both very friendly, and you may see them outdoors.

I am health-conscious and always take care of the suite and property with your health and safety in mind.

Why they chose this property

There's a vacation-like tranquility here. People often remark on the serenity and how pretty it is.

What makes this property unique

Tranquility plus easy access to everything this area has to offer.
