Charming 1930 Bungalow near Park & Beaches

KimRating, 5 stars1 month ago
So glad to have stayed at this home in Burlington, close to everything we wanted to see on our trip to VT. Easy drive to the marketplace where we enjoyed unique shopping, great coffee shops and restaurants. It was a 35-40 minute drive to visit Cabot cheese and Ben & Jerry's, both of which my son loved. As for the house, it was charming and spacious. The house has an older feel (which we loved!) but will meet all of your modern day needs. Beds were comfortable and kitchen/bathrooms clean and stocked. Hosts were extremely communicative and helpful. Easy keyless check-in was a plus. Thank you Rolf and Josue!

Brand new Beautiful Modern Clean Home On River

DoriceRating, 5 stars1 month ago
Homey open concept home where you van listen to the river while you take a dip in the cedar hot tub. I also enjoyed the deep soaking tub, closeness to the Von Trappe Famiky Lodge, and the milk brother for my morning coffee.

Walk downtown Winooski Modern Farmhouse

MiltonRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
This house was perfect as a landing spot for a graduation weekend. My wife and I stayed here with one daughter, while other members of our family who had not planned so far ahead stayed further away. Everyone used this house as a meeting spot before each day's activities. It has a very well-equipped kitchen, which allowed me to prepare robust breakfasts as if I was at home, and there was enough room in the open-floorplan living and dining area to allow a party of seven to enjoy eating and chatting together as we planned the rest of our day. It's an easy walk to some great trails along the river and plenty of good places to eat. The driveway had enough room for three vehicles to park when we were having our morning get-togethers. If there is a complaint, it's the aircraft that are taking off during the mornings at the nearby airport, but that's obviously no fault of the owners. This was a real AirBnB win for our family, and it made my daughter's graduation a great time for all!

We were in town for UVM graduation. Kelly’s place was the perfect spot for the family to hang out between events. The apartment is beautiful, furniture just perfect, super comfy beds. We made brunch one morning-kitchen had everything we needed. Can’t say enough about how great the apartment t was. Thanks Kelly and Louie!

5 Star NNE Bungalow on Bikepath

SeanRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
we had a lovely stay. Kent was friendly, responsive, and his place was perfect for our needs and exceeded our expectations. there were lots of thoughtful touches throughout the house. while the location is not walkable to downtown/Church Street (which we knew before we booked), the surroundings were lovely and it was very easy to get to and from downtown from the house. we would definitely stay again next time we're in Burlington.

Cozy Burlington Getaway w/ Private Deck & Yard

AmibelRating, 5 starstoday
Fiona and Matt’s place was a gem right in the outskirts of the beautiful town of Burlington, walking or biking distance to most things (i.e. restaurants, shops, museums, parks or trails), and the recommendations from the guidebook were spot on what we were looking for. The patio allowed our doggy to roam free and enjoy the outdoors a bit more. The home was well stocked and hosts were very responsive. Thank you both!

LauraRating, 5 stars1 week ago
We had a great stay at this Airbnb for the Vermont City marathon. It's super cozy, has everything you need, and is walkable to groceries and restaurants (plus less than a mile from the start/finish). We felt very much at home, and would come again!

Downtown Designer Digs

Peter MassicottRating, 5 stars2 days ago
We were charmed by the combination of color, nostalgic framed art, objects and furniture in Kristin’s apartment, which is a high ceilinged first floor unit, converted long ago in what was probably a former Victorian Burlington mansion. We had a very pleasant 4 night stay there, with a super comfortable bed, air conditioners in the bedroom and main room, attractive, clean and well-lit bathroom and a great Keurig nespresso vertuo coffee pod machine. The outdoor parking space is very close to the building’s entrance. Great location too, just going up the Main St. hill and so near downtown Burlington. Kristin works with Errin, and their communications and response times to messages was amazingly quick. Thank you Kristin & Errin!

New Modern Studio- Hop Skip & Jump to Waterfront

MoiraRating, 5 stars1 week ago
Would highly recommend this space for visiting Burlington! It was just a few minutes walk away from Church Street and/or the waterfront. We appreciated the short walk back from the comedy club at night and waking up and walking around the corner for breakfast at a local bakery. The free park was a big perk especially with all the downtown construction. The space was clean and quiet, despite being right near the bustling downtown. The bed was so comfortable after a long day of activities. I slept like a baby! Will definitely stay here next time we are visiting the area!

The Perfect Cozy Weekend Escape

MirandaRating, 5 stars2 months ago
We had a wonderful stay at Pete and Amanda’s. The house was as pictured/ described, clean, and well equipped with everything we needed- plus a great collection of CD’s. Driving directions are clear and Pete was very accommodating with our late check-in. The house is peaceful and tucked away, and we received great recommendations from our hosts on things to do.

Nautical Beauty, 1 block from water.

CourtneyRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
We had a very short visit to Burlington planned and wanted something close to everything. This fit the bill perfectly. The space met our needs for a 48 hour visit. Easy walking access to the bike path and Church St Market. The coffee station was vital and helpful in the mornings. Previous guests had mentioned August First in their comments and we enjoyed a delicious breakfast there - being a two minute walk we were able to grab takeout and eat in the comfort of the apartment. A focus of our trip was taking our bikes out along the causeway. Because of the off-street parking and the vibe of the neighborhood, we felt safe enough to leave the bikes on the locked rack our final night in town. This was a great little spot for our stay!

Beautiful Sunny Apt. Close to Waterfront

TammyRating, 5 stars8 months ago
Colin’s place was located close to everything near the waterfront. We enjoyed sitting on the deck at the end of a busy day. The coffee maker was a French press- which I had never used. Now I am spoiled and will be acquiring one for myself when we get home. Overall, we had a lovely stay.

Hyde Away | Spacious funky loft w/ parking & tub

MarRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
My husband and I stayed at Mac’s place for two nights—and it was truly one of our favorite Airbnbs we’ve ever been to. It is spacious, well-kept, with lovely eclectic decor. It’s even better in person than the photos. We loved all of the framed music posters and the kitchen tiling. Not to mention the lovely jacuzzi tub in the bathroom, so relaxing! We slept well here and felt right at home—would book again next time we’re in Burlington. Definitely get some baked goods from Barrio Bakery down the street!

The Tiny Home with Barrel Sauna

MichelleRating, 5 starstoday
Jordin’s place was perfect for my solo weekend. Tucked into the woods with privacy and very peaceful. Bed and bedding was very comfortable, inside was incredibly cozy. Outside patio area was perfect for hanging outside but out of the rain, and the sauna was a great way to end the nights. I can’t wait to stay again!

Amazing loft space in the heart of Burlington.

MeredithRating, 5 stars1 week ago
We stayed at the Burlington loft for five nights and had a wonderful experience. The space was clean, open and comfortable. And the location was perfect for walking around town/down to the waterfront, as well as a great home base for exploring the Burlington area (so much to do and see!). We enjoyed coffee and breakfast from August First (the bakery downstairs) each day, and had dinner at Poco (also just downstairs and around the corner). Both were fun and delicious! Our host, David was friendly and responsive. We will definitely return to the loft if/when we come back to the area.

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.
