Vers nice little place

Well equiped house in a very quiet environment. It is not the most modern house in the life but it was ok. The only negative comment we have is that we were annoyed by the droplets falling from the roof on the air conditionner outside the bedroom (please do something) all night long (it rained a little in the evening). Otherwise it was perfect.

The location was great. Beautiful lake views, access to the causeway, easy drive to Burlington. It was very quiet. We also had no trouble getting an Uber to and from downtown Burlington one night, even though it's a private and pretty remote area. The host was fantastic - very prompt with all communications and went above and beyond to provide helpful information during my stay.I do think people should know what they are getting - this is an old lakeside cottage. I wasn't expecting a fancy hotel so it was okay that the bathroom was small and outdated - but you can't access the bathroom without entering the second bedroom. I understand that the house is meant to be good for a couple, but if you were intentionally filtering your search for 2 bedrooms because you want that level of separation and privacy for your party, this might not meet your needs. There was also an overpowering musty smell in the house that was unfortunately pretty off-putting and stayed strong throughout our entire stay.Besides the bathroom setup and the smell, our stay was fine in the end but we might not stay again for those reasons. I do want to reiterate how great the location and host were, though. For the right people, this will be a suitable spot for a lovely Vermont getaway.

We didn't stay. Upon entering the property, we noticed a lot of dead spiders and cobwebs. Since there is no central air, we opened the windows and found mold and moss in them, and some of the window screens had holes that would allow mosquitoes. The bathroom had spiderwebs, and the shower was not very clean.

Perfect location and a comfy bed

I spent three nights here because of the proximity to the bike path and wasn’t disappointed. It’s a cute summer getaway neighborhood. The bed was comfortable, AC worked great, relaxing sun room when the weather cooled, bonus that there was a guitar.Burlington is half hour bike ride south down the path, and heading north takes you to the bike ferry to the island, which is how I spent one day.It’s an old summer cottage so once you adjust your expectations, it’s great. There was no smoke smell or anything like that like someone reviewed. Definitely recommend this place.

Nice location, smoke odor

Unique and eclectic property that the owner has clearly put a lot of thought into and located in a great place. Unfortunately, despite it being listed as non-smoking clearly past occupants had used it for this and the unit smelled, smoke odor permeated everything.

Wonderful location

This is a wonderful location near the Causeway and access to the lake while very quiet neighborhood. The property was clean and ready for use. The smaller bedroom has an awkward access to the bathroom limiting privacy. Great for a couple.

Not as advertised

Let me start by saying that this cabin is perfectly fine and a very good price. The location is very convenient to the bike trail, although the path to the lake & kayaks is pretty treacherous. They do not charge a “cleaning fee”, so I can forgive the dead bugs in all the windows and the overgrown garden. My major issues with this listing are the inaccuracies. Most importantly, this is NOT a true 2 bedroom. The second bedroom is actually a den with the only access to the only bathroom. They put glass doors (no curtain) on the entry and called it a bedroom. This meant that the “bedroom” had ZERO privacy. For some groups, this would work. It did not work for us. Other mis-advertised Amenities: Washer – actually a laundromat 7 minutes away AC – only in the primary bedroom. Deck/patio – just a fire pit in the grass
