BEARfoot Bungalow
Second stay at BEARfoot Bungalow and we will definitely be back. Charming, cozy, clean, completely updated, and well-appointed cabin in a fantastic location. Completely private setting, walk out the door to hike in the woods, short drive to excellent restaurants, and amazing hot tub!

Magical Karma Cabin in the Woods
We had the best time in Stowe and loved staying at Claudia’s cabin! It was perfect for our dog Kaia to easily let her outside and have her roam. The bathtub took a little getting used to but provided some laughs. If you have furry friends this is the perfect place to stay! Close enough to downtown but nice to have a little privacy. Also if it’s open check out The Roastery right down the road. Awesome little spot with a great cup of coffee and excellent matcha. We loved Stowe and can’t wait to check it out in the summer!

Cute and Cozy Burlington Bungalow-Pet Friendly
We are repeat guests at Rebecca’s house. It is the perfect place for us to stay with our pup while visiting our daughter at UVM. The house is charming, walkable to Zero Gravity, and has a fenced in back yard. Communication with Rebecca is excellent. Looking forward to hopefully staying again in the Fall!

Beautiful timber frame just minutes to Middlebury!
As this was the second time renting this property, we knew what to expect. The first stay was with family over a holiday weekend and the house was perfect for Easter dinner (there is a fantastic dining table with abundant natural light and views to the outside). This visit, we shared the house with several other Middlebury parents and benefitted greatly from the multiple gathering spots that allowed for different conversations to occur simultaneously in a natural and organic fashion. The bedrooms are roomy with nice furnishings and the hot water and heating systems were very reliable (always a risk with larger groups). Rich was a great host who was very informative in the days leading up to our weekend and very responsive during our stay when we had questions.

Cozy, safe, conveniently located, newly renovated.
My husband and I and my son and girlfriend went up to visit my daughter and her fiance who just relocated to Colchester Vt. Vernon's home was exactly as described! The home was very comfortable and clean and very conveniently located for us. We all walked to Church St and had a great time. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a place in Burlington. We would definitely rent again.

Mountain View Chalet near Jay Peak!
Such a gem! So happy we found this very private spot. It was perfect for our weekend away with our family and our dogs. Home was super cute, VERY clean and truly one of the best Airbnb's we have ever stayed in as far as amenities. There were so many fresh clean towels, paper towels, toilet paper, and TONS of linens like extra blankets (I usually freeze in bed), even basic kitchen supplies. Got to meet the owner briefly and she is a DOLL! If we have the chance to stay in this area again, we would definitely go back! Don't hesitate if you like quiet private surroundings. Oh and the view out the living room window was the icing on the cake! Thank you for a great stay!

The Sunrise Cabin
Ian’s place was a dream. Such a beautiful spot and cozy cabin. I mean, you couldn’t ask for a more beautiful view. We even saw an otter out on the shore! Quiet, peaceful, beautiful. Any nature lover’s dream plus close enough to the city to go see and do. I would 100% stay here again.

Entire 2nd Floor Walk to Montpelier
Felt right at home. A nice spacious place for us to stay on our way to Montreal.

Champlain Lakehouse
We only stayed for two nights but certainly wish we stayed longer. The area was quiet and peaceful and had an amazing view of the lake. The home was clean and comfortable. check-in and check-out was easy and convenient.

Cozy Mountain Home w/Million $ View
Super worth! We came here last week and loved it so much, we came this weekend too! Good dining recommendations from Daveo. He even saved us when our car was stuck in the snow! We truly appreciate his help. One million dollar view, one million points recommend! We'll come again next ski season!

Charming Historic Home Two Blocks to Church Street
Wonderful weekend getaway. Close to UVM and Church Street. Spacious home, very clean and has all the amenities. Highly recommend.

Bluebird Cottage - Three Min to Sugarbush Resort
Colin's place was great for our Easter with our four children and two grandchildren. Location is convenient to Sugarbush and surrounding attractions.

Beautiful guesthouse -perfect for long stays
Very nice host !! Airbnb was very cozy and accessible, would highly recommend :)

Spacious Winooski Oasis, close to downtown!
We had a great stay here. The house was quaint and exactly as pictured. We asked for recommendations but didn’t receive a response. However, Sam was super responsive for all other things house related like check in time and when the shower pump was broken and only giving us cold water. The hot water issue was taken care of right away which was appreciated! The backyard is big and fenced in. This is great for dogs! There is a grill and fire pit. We didn’t use either but having that amenity was nice. Location is great and so was the price. Walking distance and car ride from most eateries and cute shops. We felt safe, thank you!

Entire House. 2+ bed, 2 bath near Lake & bikeway
Andria’s place was perfect for our needs! It is centrally located in Burlington, making it a great jumping off point for exploring the area. The house itself is cozy and Andria’s beautiful artwork is displayed throughout. While we didn’t need it as it was just two of us and our dog, the layout is perfect if you had two couples/two parties traveling together as the downstairs has a door that can be shut/locked to separate it from the upstairs suite, which has its own bed, bathroom, office and small kitchenette area (mini fridge, coffee maker, etc). Our dog loved looking out the back door window and it was so nice to have a back yard for her! I can imagine in the summer she’d have loved being out there more! One thing to note for future guests with a dog - the backyard is a good size and there’s a chicken-wire style fence on one side where a neighbor has two little dogs. We’d absolutely stay at Andria’s place again, and recommend it to others!

Charming Sugarbush Standalone Condo
Great location and lots of space. We were able to ski in/out (look for "Cliff's Road" sign when skiing back) fairly easily, which was nice. Would definitely stay here again. Thanks!

Adirondack Sunset Apartment
Great spot with epic views of the Adirondacks. Ideal spot for attending a wedding at Basin Harbor Club.

Warm Luxury Mid-Century Modern Chalet
Sierra is extremely responsive, understands the ski mentality and very considerate of our group. Thank you so much, we enjoyed spending quality time by the fireplace and of course the super close by Mad River Glen access!!!!!!

Cozy Adams Farmhouse - Spring Availability!
Home was adorable. Really enjoyed the area. Well appointed and she really thought of everything and had it there. She was easy to get in touch with as well. We would stay there again!

Cozy two-bedroom cabin near Smugglers Notch
We could not have asked for a better place for our eclipse adventure. The two bedroom cabin was spotlessly clean, well-appointed, cute and plenty of space for the 4 of us. We loved being out in the woods and enjoyed our walks around the pond enormously. Easy to get to restaurants and other activities, but away from the hustle and bustle. The staff were super friendly and very helpful. Not a thing to complain about, and would definitely recommend to anyone!

Modern Vermont Cabin on 40 Acres
We celebrated my father’s 69th birthday in this winter oasis (I bet it’s an oasis any time of year). Snow plow came by every morning at 7:30. I’ve never experienced snowfall on a daily basis - it was beautiful. The home was clean and cozy. We hope the next folks who stay enjoy our stout little snowman in the back :) The only thing that could’ve made this experience better would’ve been a fireplace!

Orion's Retreat ~ Apt. 2
The location is great for a ski weekend at Stowe. Walkable to restaurants and a short drive to the lifts. Breakfast at Butler's Pantry is a must! The apartment is clean and would be great for a longer stay. Highly recommend it. We will be back!

3 Cozy Rooms ,2 Bathrooms,2 Bedrooms,Beach,Bike
Another amazing stay at Margarette’s! We had so much fun. Her & George are such generous hosts. The location is perfect to easy access to the bike path and the private beach is beautiful and perfect. Realized that we’ve been coming here for years and years and we will continue to do so. Great value highly recommend!

No tariffs here! Will refund all taxes!
Great location, very walkable with quick access to the lake, coffee, breweries, shops, and downtown. Deb and John were very kind and welcoming. 10/10.

Your guide to Burlington
Welcome to Burlington, Vermont
The state’s largest metropolis has just 42,545 residents, but packs a world-class punch with cafes, museums, a thriving arts scene, and year-round outdoor adventures, plus a renowned university. It’s also the first U.S. city to run on 100 percent renewable electricity.
Burlington overlooks the Adirondack Mountains and 120-mile-long Lake Champlain, which divides Vermont from New York State. But its heart beats in the downtown pedestrian mall of Church Street Marketplace. This national historic district protects buildings from 1820 to 1964, including architectural styles ranging from Italianate to Queen Anne, Federal, and Greek Revival, along with some Art Deco and Modernist outliers. But somehow it all works, anchored by Courthouse Square and an 1816 brick Unitarian meeting house. Nearby sprawls the Burlington Waterfront Park with its beaches, boats, and an eight-mile bike path linking parks and green spaces. Take time to linger in this eclectic community, which marries urban intellectualism with bucolic rural Vermont beauty and traditions.
The best time to stay in a vacation rental in Burlington
This lakeside city shines brightest from May to September, making it a popular time for people to book vacation rentals. The festival schedule bustles then, and the trees fill the area with lush greenery, which deepens into glorious hues perfect for leaf-peeping day trips to nearby Middlebury and Jeffersonville. Shoulder season isn’t the best in Burlington. April brings fewer crowds but often lots of mud. And November sees the city pause for a deep breath before the winter tourism onslaught of skiers and snowboarders. Events-wise, turn to February’s Lake Champlain Pond Hockey Classic and June’s jazz festival, followed by New England’s oldest and largest quilt event in nearby Essex Junction. Expect dragon boating in August, along with street performers for the Festival of Fools.
Top things to do in Burlington
Burlington Earth Clock
An art installation dedicated to peace looks like a 43-foot-diameter prehistoric stone circle on Lake Champlain’s shores. In reality, it’s a giant sundial that relies on visitors to stand in the central gnomon position and cast their shadows. It lies at Blanchard Beach, on the bike path just north of the popular sunset-watching spot of Oakledge Park.
Lake Champlain Monster Monument
What’s a big landlocked body of water without the specter of a massive, rarely spied serpentine creature? In 1984, the state erected a granite block on Perkins Pier just south of downtown to honor Burlington’s local legend: “Champ,” a prehistoric Nessie-esque beast. It even bears the cryptid’s pseudoscientific name, Belua aquatica champlainiensis. And just in case Champ really is out there, both Vermont and New York have passed laws protecting their lake’s most legendary monster.
Shelburne Museum
Eight miles south of Burlington sits a 45-acre museum celebrating Americana. Its founder celebrated everyday objects, from quilts to pottery and weather vanes. Eventually she began adding historic buildings to house these collections, including a lighthouse, round barn, covered bridge, and the Lake Champlain side-wheeler steamship Ticonderoga.
