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.

Visiting Burlington in Feb

Great small cottage on the water. We were here in Feb during a huge snow storm and it was absolutely beautiful. Cottage is close to essentials like grocery and gas and a short drive to all the restaurants in Burlington.

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!

Location

Loved staying at this serene cottage just steps away from an incredible bike trail across Lake Champlain and within close proximity to everything Burlington has to offer. The views from the cottage and the abundance of gorgeous flowers all around the property were amazing. Comfortable beds and linens, hot showers daily, nice fluffy towels, and provided coffee were all appreciated. Cute little touches throughout. We had a wonderful time.

Memorial Weekend Getaway 2024

We absolutely loved our stay! The house is clean and comfortable with great amenities like kayaks, a canoe, binoculars, lake front property with dock, and fire pit. Perfect location! There is a bike path nearby - great for biking or walking - and tennis courts not far, as well. It's 20 minutes to Burlington, and there's some nice hiking nearby also. Great weekend outdoors!

Sweet Cottage on the lake

The cottage is in a quiet neighborhood that is just great for walking and convenient to the bike path. The outdoor areas of the cottage are filled with beautiful flowers and plenty of seating options for relaxing or eating outside. The kitchen is well equipped and the cottage has large windows and super views of the lake. We loved that the cottage was homey and appeared to be well loved by the family that owned it, which made us feel right at home, too! The owner, Susan, was great about checking in and keeping us updated on flexibility with checking and checkout times.

You wont want to leave the cottage with this view!

wall to wall windows with 180 degree views of the lake and wildlife make it feel like you are part of the scene. So relaxing. Susan even left the basics in the kitchen and fridge and also some fresh flowers! We had a wonderful weekend with our UVM senior.

Lovely, peaceful cabin on the lake

Perfectly appointed, comfortable and right on the lake. Spectacular views from a cozy, open living space with everything I needed. Felt like being invited to stay with family/friends. Gracious host was easy to reach although I wanted for nothing during my stay. I appreciated the check-in note from her on arrival and departure. Would return to this lovely spot without question!
