Waterfront vacation rentals in Burlington

This was my second stay, and once again it was absolutely perfect. The host is incredibly kind and helpful—he goes above and beyond to make sure everything is just right. The property itself is straight out of a dream... right on the lake, peaceful, and beautifully kept. I’ve stayed at a lot of places, but this one feels like home—and honestly, it's my dream home. Can’t wait to come back again. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a relaxing, top-notch getaway.

We had the most fantastic stay with Sheila and Jeremy! The home was spotless and beautifully decorated. Sheila was a proactive and responsive communicator. But what stood out to us more than anything were the various thoughtful touches provided during our stay. We arrived late, after a long drive, and Sheila and Jeremy were there to meet us in person and help carry our bags inside. They had fresh muffins waiting and even left some snacks (cheese, crackers, grapes) in the fridge in case we hadn’t eaten dinner. They also provided coffee, tea, milk, honey, which was great in the mornings, and we so appreciated having access to the washer & dryer to do some laundry. Overall, we can’t say enough good things about our stay and we hope to return!

Loved staying with Sandra and Jason! They are great hosts and did a great job on the Airbnb. We knew there were going to be mosquitoes, but we didn’t know that there were going to be so many, I would advise bringing bug spray. They let us use their kayaks which was an awesome experience. 10/10 would stay again.

Ideal, beautiful location for visiting Middlebury and this gorgeous region of Vermont. The setting by the river is stunning and soothing. The unit is very comfortable and has everything you need. The host is gracious and welcoming. We feel so fortunate to have found this lovely location!

June was amazing, welcoming and accommodating. Great place to stay to check out this cool town

Wonderful cozy apartment. Very close to restaurants and other attractions.

Pleasure staying at your place as always. Best of luck to you!

When it comes to AirBNBs, this is right at the top! Deb and John's place is full of whimsical and useful touches--from quirky or beautiful art to a drawer full of commonly used tools. The kitchen was well stocked with dishes, glasses, coffee, and even a pint of half and half. It is just enough space for a couple, with a bedroom, bath, sitting area, kitchen, and charming front porch. Deb and John live in the other half of the duplex; they were friendly but not intrusive. The location is terrific--right on the bike trail, near a park, and about a mile and a half walk to Church Street with its wonderful restaurants and shops. Parking is difficult in downtown Burlington, so having another way to get there was appreciated! We didn't watch much TV, but note that the house has only cable, no streaming.

Where do I start...from before I arrived, up until my departure...Joanne was attentive in every way possible. All my questions were answered with an immediate response. The home was extraordinary. The effort Joanne has put in to making it just like home shows. With an abundance of whimsical touches. Up until the day I left, I would see a new thing. As if the enchanting home wasn't enough, the back patio is a place of serenity...with the sounds and view of the river extraordinary. I could go on and on, but I will just say, "it was the best vacation I have ever had". One word describes this Airbnb...AMAZING!!!🩷. I will return next year! Didn't want to leave!!! 😊 Thank you Joanne for your exemplary hospitality!

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.

Great everything was wonderful, Sherry is a nice host. my second year staying there. Thanks Rod from Maine

We had a great stay at Peter’s - it’s a beautiful piece of property right on the water with stunning views from inside and out. Place was very clean and had all the amenities listed plus some. Peter was a very responsive and accommodating host. There are a few restaurants, stores, and a state park nearby (short drive) and not too far from areas such as Burlington and Waterbury. The family had a great time fishing, playing in the large yard & on the sandy beach area, and roasting s’mores over the fire pit in the evening. Would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a nice, relaxing getaway!

One of the best homes I’ve rented in Vermont, the home was beautiful, the property was beautiful as well. Would highly recommend having a vehicle to be able to handle the unexpected weather conditions and would highly recommend staying at this home if you’re looking to snowboard/ski or a simple getaway, the ideal home! The host was super thoughtful and responsive as well. Highly recommend!

Kathy's cabin on the lake is the most magical place - quiet, peaceful and beautiful, the log cabin a throwback to an earlier time (but with great wifi). We sat on the dock with coffee and listened to the sound of loons out on the water. Kathy is also a great host. We will be back (we have actually stayed here a number of times because it's really the most lovely).

The house was perfect for our stay with everything we could want for cooking and relaxing. It had amazing views from both inside (big windows!) and outside of Shelburne Bay. The upstairs deck was a wonderful place to sit and watch the lake, all the boats, and lots of waterfowl. Sunsets were spectacular. It was very close to the Shelburne Farms and Shelburne Museum which we enjoyed. Nearby Shelburne Bay Park was a great place to walk on trails or launch a kayak if you bring one. We plan to come back!

Nicholas’s place was great, about 15 minutes from Jay. The house was very clean and everything was well explained. We had a great time and would love to come back!

Well-equipped, conveniently located AirBnB just 10 minutes from Sugarbush. Birgit was communicative and very helpful Great place to stay for a ski trip!

My husband and I stayed in National at 1854 House and we loved it! It was exactly as described, and Sarah was a terrific host. Everything was very clean, she was quick to respond, left detailed instructions about all the unit had to offer, and even gave us some local recommendations. The bed was comfortable, the view was great, and the swing in the living room was a wonderful extra touch. The location was perfect for exploring all of northern Vermont. We couldn’t have asked for a better trip. We would absolutely stay in National again. Definitely recommend!

Spacious and well supplied, comfortable bed and relaxing back porch. Host’s were very accommodating and responsive. Walkable to town or short drive to attractions. Others have noted hearing occupants in the upstairs condo this was not an issue for us, we slept soundly. Would stay again if in the area.

We enjoyed this condo! Bright, comfortable, great condition, nice design, very good amenities including condo pool, hot tubs, tennis courts, recreation center. Close to Sugarbush. Easy shuttle.

Very comfortable stay - convenient to ski wither Sugarbush or Mad River. Philip sent specific instructions for turning the heat up on arrival. It took a little while to warm up, but individual thermostats in LR and BR worked nicely. Local recommendations for restaurants and such were spot on.

Great experience. Definitely recommend.

My family loved our stay at the Stowe Nook, it’s the perfect location, close to everything in town and even the shuttle to the mountain. So convenient to have the grocery store right next-door. It’s a charming town and the townhouse is warm and cozy. My teens love having their own space downstairs. Josee is a lovely host and very easy to communicate with.

Thank you for the stay! We came for a wedding and it was super convenient/close to the venue. The place looked just like the photos and was super clean, very cozy. Never stayed in a cabin style place before and it elevated our experience in VT. Would recommend and stay again!
