The house was beautiful and immaculately clean. We loved the location on Snake Alley and enjoyed La Tavola for dinner and Wake & Bake for breakfast which were both within walking distance. Thanks to Becky for providing all the info and recommendations we needed for our stay. The accommodations were perfect for our family of 5.

Great stay!

We really enjoyed our stay here! The home is beautiful and the location can't be beat. Of course, being on Snake Alley, there is some climbing involved to get to or from your vehicle, but that's part of the charm of this location. Attentive and welcoming hosts!

Great getaway

This was a wonderful property to stay at. It was a quick walk to anywhere we wanted to visit and we got to stay on the historic Snake Alley. The accommodations were clean and modern and it was quiet, just a lovely overall experience. I would say if you have a hard time walking or with stairs you may not want to stay here as it is a steep walk.

This charming home was a hit with my sisters who stayed there instead of a busy hotel for my step daughter’s wedding. Everything was just beautiful from the living spaces, to the kitchen, to the super comfortable beds. The house was decorated for the Fall season in simple and elegant decor. The location on Snake Alley was great to be nearby the cute downtown Burlington area. In the descriptions for this listing, it does point out that you do need to take into consideration that there is parking above Snake Alley as well as below, so you need to be aware that there will be either downhill or uphill trips to your vehicle after you’ve gotten it unloaded. This is not a negative comment for the property in any way.. it’s just on a winding one way cobblestone street, which is part of the charm but which does need to be considered. My older family members were able to navigate it just fine, knowing that there were stairs up and down to tackle. Rebecca was super responsive throughout the entire process, so that made things very easy to arrange, and she gave so many awesome suggestions of things to see and do in Burlington. Overall, absolutely beautiful home in a gorgeous area of town!
