A true Vermont vacation at its best!

This was the perfect place for a large family! Hang out at the beach all day or enjoy the tons of activities close by like downtown Burlington, Stowe, the causeway etc! We loved it here! The house has everything you need to feel like you are at home while on vacation.

Our stay at the cottage was very enjoyable. Weather was great, and the water/beach at the house was very clean and clear.Only comment I’d make is the listing mentions laundry appliances under amenities. This was actually only referring to a nearby laundromat, not a washer and dryer inside the house.

Lakefront Perfection

We had 8 adults staying two nights for our daughter's graduation from UVM and these cottages were PERFECT! Great communication with the owner throughout the process, easy access, places were clean and well stocked. I've rented many VRBO places and these were great! Highly recommend.

Perfect Stay!

This is a perfect property for two families traveling together. My sister and her family stayed in one cabin and me and my family stayed in the other. The views across the water are beautiful. The cabins were cozy and comfy with everything you need! The location was perfect for my husband and I who ran the Vermont City Marathon relay in Burlington. Highly recommend!

The cabins are a real gem -- right on the water and super comfortable for families/friends traveling together while allowing for some private space (four bedrooms, two baths, two kitchens).These are not the Hyatt, so if that's what you like, this may not be for you. We like clean, homey and love being right on the beach, so they're perfect for us! Parking is alongside a kind of busy road. The space easily fits three standard- to large cars (four smaller.) For safety, park so your car faces the traffic flow (east?) and park close to the fence for safety entering and exiting the car along the fairly busy street. There is a rather steep set of stairs leading down from the parking space to the cabins. My 91-year-old mother navigated them well, but it's something to consider if a family member has mobility issues. One cabin has a drip coffeemaker, the other a Keurig. Both have plenty of glasses, cutlery, pots and pans. If you rely on a blow-dryer, bring one! Also, shampoo and bath soap. Host asks that you bring your own sheets and towels, but if that's not possible, just ask in advance. We've visited twice with different family members — aged 5 to 91 — and everyone absolutely loves this wonderful opportunity to experience the best of Vermont.

Weekend on the Lake

We had a larger group and the cottages worked out great. Center deck with grill was perfect for meals and lounging. Being right on the water with a fire was amazing at night. Easily fit 4 cars road side. Host was very accommodating. Would love to come back!

cottages on the lake

We had a fabulous time! perfect for us. not too fancy but super clean and being on the lake was beyond perfect. gorgeous sunsets, loved the grill and eating on the deck in between the cottages. it was easy to bring the linens because we drove, but that might be a consideration for anyone flying to Burlington. all in all, a great stay!

What a wonderful, relaxing vacation!

This property was just what we were looking for! We are a family with small children and were traveling with some extended family. The fact that this property was right on the water and offered some separation made our stay beyond perfect! The property owner, Michael, was very easy to communicate with and the one small issue we had was addressed right away! I highly recommend this property and will definitely be back!

Great spot especially with young children!

This was a great house and great beach! It was perfect for our young kids. We did find a lot of glass in the sand so be careful. The water was nice and shallow so the kids could swim! They loved using the boats and fishing. Very comfortable home!! The dog had fun too! :)

Lake Champlain

Nice place to stay. Right on the lake. Basic cabins but an ideal spot. Only negative was that no bed linens or towels were provided. Nothing on the website or any communication with the owner about this. He did offer to split the cost if I wanted to go and buy sheets, pillowcases and towels. I thought it was quite bizarre that these were not provided.

Unfortunately since COVID the cleaning service stopped all linen services......if a guest needs linens we will shop around for the best service price for them...comforters, pillows, and dish towels are provided.....our policy has been updated in House Rules section to reflect this confusion...

Beautiful Lake

My family very much enjoyed our stay at this property. Mike was easy to communicate with and answered all questions in a timely manner. I wish the kitchens were better equipped. Between the 2 cottages, there were only 3 coffee mugs. The 6 adults made do without, but it would have been nice to have more mugs. Same with pots and pans. The blinds in one bedroom don't work, so there was no privacy there. Again, not a big deal as there was no one in the cottage next door. The lake is beautiful and there are plenty of things to do in the area. Burlington is not far so that opens up a lot of options.

This was the perfect place for our trip together as an extended family. Having the two cabins, right on the water was perfect for kids. We loved having the kayaks and beach chairs. In sunny weather we ate at the big table between the two cabins, and in rainy weather we ate at the wonderful big table on the porch. And we were able to eat in for most meals, a great benefit when traveling.

Beautiful location!

These cottages are located in the perfect place! The lake was beautiful and there was plenty to do while there. Having the two cottages was a fantastic set up. The screened in porches made you feel as if you were sitting on the beach. The only negative was the lack of storage in the kitchens for food. We always bring what we need for the week and the cabinets in both kitchens were full.

Amazing location

The cottages were perfect for two families of boys vacationing together. The beach was perfect for our kids ranging in age from 4 to 13. Great proximity to Burlington.

About the host

Hosted by Michael Rozzi

Host profile image
Our family first moved to Colchester in 1971. Presently, both sons still reside in the Burlington area with Jamie Rozzi the proprietor of Rozzi's Lakeshore Tavern located right around the corner from the cottages.

Why they chose this property

Our interest in this property was its location, a private beach setting while still maximizing the benefits of the Burlington area.

What makes this property unique

There are only a handful of properties that actually have a sandy beach to utilize in Malletts Bay. The fact that we only traverse five steps is truly unique in this area. A great view and a great beach. Add a small fire pit and we enjoy the property both day and night.
