About this property

Private lakefront cottage on Lake Champlain, feet from Causeway bike path.

Private year-round cottage on Lake Champlain (Mallets Bay), a 10:00 drive to downtown Burlington and area colleges. You will be treated to glorious panoramic lake views, with an open-floor plan, fully equipped kitchen, outdoor grill - Cabana bar and beach fire pit. The world-class Colchester Causeway bike path is just minutes outside our door. Sleeps 4-6 with a queen-size bed in the upstairs open-loft, a full-size bed in the downstairs bedroom, and a full-size sleeper sofa in the living room. Relaxation is pretty much guaranteed. Great fishing just steps out our door. Enjoy all four seasons that Vermont has to offer! We are pet friendly (one dog only, no cats). The cottage is located in a quiet community that we treasure. Because of this, we limit the number of guest that stay, and require that all of the Mills Point Association Rules are followed, including leashed dogs, parking regulations and no loud parties.

Our dog, Hazel, took us on a lovely long weekend on Lake Champlain. The cottage was lovely, warm, and inviting. So close to the best part of the Causeway, which was a nice surprise. I really enjoyed paddle boarding. It was a beautiful 4 days.

Lovely lakeside property. Host very responsive. 2 months ride to bike causeway…perfect! It was a 7 minute walk down the causeway to enjoy amazing sunsets! What a gift :)As we rented in early September, the lake level was too low to swim off the dock or beach but we enjoyed watching the wildlife, including a family of deer wading in the lake at te end of the dock!

Wonderful!The property has been carefully perfected for guests to have a comfortable and restful stay. As an example, I especially appreciated the care that was put into making sure it was easy to keep the entire space at a comfortable temperature. When staying away from home, tending to that sort of thing can otherwise take time and attention away from enjoyment. Even in shoulder season, the location makes it a perfect getaway - especially for birders. The view out the picture windows is mesmerizing. Instructions and communication were crystal clear. Thank you!

Perfect for our Thanksgiving Getaway

We enjoyed the peace and quiet the cottage offered over the Thanksgiving holiday. The views, the fire pit, the star-filled night sky, the quick walk to the Causeway — all exactly what we hoped for in a getaway.

Birdwatching on Lake Champlain

Lovely cottage with big picture window overlooking Lake Champlain. We enjoyed seeing the sunset and sunrise glow on the water and watching all kinds of birds -- egrets, herons, cormorants, loons etc. all around the property. Thoroughly enjoyed this stay!

The property was beautiful, clean, and family friendly. My family had such a great time we look forward to going back! The only disappointment was that we thought we could use the dock for our family boat but could not due to it needed repairs we were unaware of. Aside from that it was the perfect quiet family getaway. Thank you!
