Vacation rentals with lake access in Mad River

Thank you, Palmer for an enjoyable stay at your beautiful lake house. We came up for a college tour of UVM and the location was perfect. It took us only 20 minutes to get there and then at the end of our day we came back to relax and unwind at your comfy and spotless home. Every room was beautifully furnished , comfortable and really just felt homey. The kids enjoyed hanging out downstairs watching movies while the adults enjoyed cocktails and talking all while taking in the amazing view of the lake. We had a wonderful time and would certainly return. Only two minor issues, one of which just might have been our own unfamiliarity with the home. The living room gets really warm and even though we turned down the thermostat, it kept creeping up. But it could have even been the fact that it was so sunny one of the days we were there. A minor issue. Outside, the railing to get down from the deck to the yard is a bit wobbly in places and may be due to be replaced soon. Also, no big deal.

Sherry's place was amazing! Great views! This is our second visit here and have booked a third later in the summer. Sherry is a wonderful host and we appreciate her opening up this beautiful lake cottage for us.

On our last day we saw a spectacular sunset which was indicative of our whole stay. The star was of course the wonderful setting on the lake. It was enhanced by how tastefully the house was renovated, decorated and fully supplied with everything we needed. It truely exceeded our expectations and made for a memorable experience in the beautiful state of Vermont.

We had a fantastic stay at Kelly's lake house. The house was newly renovated and clean. The kitchen had all the essentials to make it easy to cook meals. We especially enjoyed eating our farm fresh eggs from Nadeau's Farmers Market outside on the deck to start the day. Kelly gave specific directions to find the house. The place to cross the railroad tracks can be hard to locate in the dark. Paddling on the lake was a highlight. It was great to launch right from the property. Kelly's place is located 30-40 minutes away from some cute towns to shop or grab a yummy meal. We were able to visit Essex-NY, Middlebury-VT, and Vergennes-VT. We would gladly stay here again.

Perfect place for our Labor Day weekend getaway! Direct access to the water, and accommodated our large group with everything we needed !

Great getaway for my fsamily! Lots of space, big table in the dining room makes it easy to be all together, and beautiful surrounding! The ability to take a wuick drive to Burlington and Stowe then head back to our reatreat was a plus. I will hopefully be staying here again very soon!!

Since we stayed over Christmas, our host went out of her way to put up a nice Christmas tree and some decorations which made it feel pretty magical for a home away from home. We felt very comfortable. The weather was extremely cold so she provided extra blankets that we didn't really need because the place was well insulated and cozy. The lake view was gorgeous as it snowed and froze over several days and we sat inside drinking tea and coffee watching it. We would love to enjoy this space in the summer to take advantage of the deck and dock down by the water.

If you are looking to shut away the world for a few days and live in a beautiful cabin by the lake, this is the spot! We had a fantastic stay right in the lap of nature and had the most incredible view of the lake and a private dock overlooking it!

Beautiful location with spectacular views of Lake Champlain. The Best Nest offers peace and quiet in a private setting. Everything was just as described in the Airbnb posting.

If you’re looking for a small place in burli it’s worth it

Cannot recommend Audrey or her space highly enough. It was beautiful, private, spacious, with so many amenities. She was so gracious to stock the fridge with a few items since we were getting in late. It was overall a wonderful and comfortable stay in a beautiful location.

Tanner was the ultimate host. His property was pristine and worked out great for two couples. He had labeled all the cabinets in the kitchen so that it was easy to find whatever you were looking for! The lockable outside shed for our bikes was a huge plus. The stairs to the 2nd floor apt were a bit steeper than normal but were still easy to navigate. The living room had multiple seating options. Beds were very comfortable. Showers had plenty of hot water and ample towels were available. Would highly recommend this property. We will definitely be returning!

We had a lovely stay. The place was exactly as described, walkable to everything you could want in town. The place was clean, organized, and everything was clearly laid out and labeled. The fireplace was great for warmth and helped create a cozy environment. The kitchen was helpful, and the place had thoughtful touches that made it feel cared for like the extra blankets, heated floors, and bathroom toiletries. One thing of note, we stayed in the winter and a combination of the snow on one side and a large utility truck on the other made it feel quite tight pulling into the designated space on the driveway. I imagine at any other time guests would not experience this, and it would by no means deter me from staying again when up in Vermont!

We decided to stop a night in Burlington, VT on our way back to NYC from Quebec. We were very excited to find this place! It was very charming & cozy. Close to many restaurants & shops. The host was super responsive with any questions we had & always made sure we were well taken care of. Highly recommended!

Our short stay was great! Apartment was clean, comfortable, welcoming, charming. Even small fold down sofa in living room was comfortable with topper on it, according to teen kid. Kitchen and bathroom super clean and well laid out. Everything working. Nice touches. I was super conscious that we were 5 people in an apartment above a home with a young family and, as we came back late from the Flynn, was mindful of squeaky stairs and floors above as our group walked around. I chose for its walkability to Church Street although the weather necessitated using a car. Street parking was easy and free. I would highly recommend this property.

One of the best hosts we've ever experienced. Cheri offers to customize furniture in the space based on guest's needs, offers fresh bed sheets on regular basis, and has zero steps required for checkout. It's clear she prioritizes the overall experience for the guest and actually cares about being a good host.

The main intention behind our visit to Banjo's Cottage was to disconnect and it proved to be absolutely perfect for doing just that. Cozy decor, manageable layout, well-stocked kitchen, no TV, beautiful grounds, convenient location...Lesley and her family provided it all in spades. We read books, completed a puzzle, took in the stars and enjoyed the silence. 20 mins south of Middlebury, and just over an hour south of Burlington...this place offers prime seclusion, as well as easy access to areas of interest. Lesley is always responsive and eager to accommodate. Special shoutout for ensuring we were fully prepared to stay somewhere new with a 13-month old. Pack 'n Play, highchair, outlet covers, toys and books...all generously offered upon arrival. Reading through the log it becomes apparent that this place holds a magical quality to all those who visit. We definitely hope to be back some day.

We loved this home. The lakefront location was beautiful and convenient. It is 20 minutes away from both downtown Burlington and a lakeside state park we visited for a hike. The home was a great fit for our family. The proximity of the home to the park was terrific for our dogs. Would definitely book again.

The location is peaceful and beautiful. Loved having our morning coffee on the dock overlooking the lake and autumn leaves. Enjoyed kayaking to Paddlers Pub for drinks & food. The cottage is very cozy and just enough space for 2 people.

This place is absolutely beautiful and the condition of the place is excellent! Would love to stay again.

My friend and I enjoyed our stay at this cabin! The views from the cabin are beautiful, and you can’t beat the location directly on the lake. The lake views from inside, the screened in porch, and the backyard were awesome. The kitchen had supplies to make breakfasts/basic meals, the space was clean, and the beds were comfortable. We used this cabin as a home base for visiting Burlington, Waterbury, and Stowe and found it easy to navigate to and from the highway to these larger cities.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Lake Elmore Cottage; it met all of our expectations for a serene stay with beautiful lake views and spectacular foliage. The cottage was very comfortable and peaceful, with direct and easy access to the lake (for canoeing and swimming). The cottage is also directly adjacent to Elmore State Park, where there is nice hiking to the peak of Mount Elmore. Debra was super helpful with terrific recommendations for food and cocktails, and with any questions we had about the property and local activities. Would definitely recommend!

Great place to stay right outside of Burlington. (Visiting my daughter at UVM) Easy to get to and plenty around to do. The scenery was amazing- took some beautiful pics of the sunrise and sunset! Kitchen had everything you need to cook a nice meal. Beds were comfortable too! Would stay here again!!

Stayed here with 2 friends, it was our first time visiting Vermont and this home was just what we needed. The home is closely located to Burlington as well as close to many great hikes. The home fit us 3 very comfortably. Pjt was a great host, very responsive. Also, the TV available in the living room was not a smart TV so we ended up watching movies on our own tablet we had brought. Just something to keep in mind if you are looking to watch movies through Netflix or other streaming service.
