Loved this place. Very clean and had everything we needed for a short or long stay. I will definitely be staying here again because it is close to the city of Burlington and not a far drive from ski resorts.

Thank you, Danielle! We were so happy to host you and your guest! We greatly appreciated how well you took care of our apartment. Please visit us again!
Low key, out of the way spot within close driving distance to Burlington downtown and campus. Ideal place if you’re in town for a show or to see your college kids for break. Check in was easy and the host was quick to reply. Definitely recommend.

This was a perfect spot for a night out in Burlington! Amazing location. Lots to do in the area. The apartment was bigger than I expected and we had plenty of room to relax after a long day out. Any question I had Laura was quick to answer.

Laura was a great host! Friendly, helpful, easy to communicate with! The rental was perfect for myself and my friend as a basecamp to rest and catch up while visiting to Burlington to deal with some family matters. Great location and truly beautiful views over Winooski and Burlington!

Thank you for your kind words, Minnalou! It was wonderful to host you, and you are welcome back anytime!
A great spot to stay for a Vermont getaway weekend! Laura was friendly and easy to communicate with. The location is close to 88 for easy access to other parts of the state, but the center of Winooski had everything we needed as well! A nice quiet neighborhood with clear instructions on how to access the space. The apartment was clean and tidy and had everything we needed for a pleasant stay. Would highly recommend Laura’s place in Winooski!

About the host
Hosted by Laura
We are both originally from New York State and landed here about 30 years ago. We are so proud to call Vermont home! We love the outdoors: hiking, biking, kayaking, snowshoeing, and more. We also love to travel and explore restaurants, breweries, and cafes. We are so excited to have you stay at the Onion City Retreat!
Why they chose this property
We lived in a neighboring town for years and once we became empty nesters we knew we were ready to move on. We love living in a city where we can walk to anything we need. We not only have our Airbnb in Winooski, but live here as well.
What makes this property unique
The apartment is its own unit, so guests essentially have their own home. It boasts a large deck with beautiful views and has a private backyard as well. We are just a 10 minute walk to the circle, and less than a 5 minute drive to I89. It is the perfect location!
