Kid-friendly vacation rentals in Essex

Our group of 8 had a lovely stay at Nick and Sara's home. It was spacious and clean - and even had a lighted holiday tree to brighten out evenings. Plenty of room for our group to cook, exchange gifts and play games. Easy access to Morrisville for shopping and pizza! We'd stay here again winter or summer.

This was our first stay in the Leonard Ave location. Kevin met us at the house and showed us everything. There were a few items that were needed and Kevin took care of those immediately. His communication was excellent and we enjoyed our stay. There were 9 of us and the accommodations were exactly what we needed! We will absolutely book again!

This is our third stay at Kevin’s place. It is a home that has brought wonderful family memories for us over the years. The stunning lakefront views, large porch area and sleeping arrangements are perfect for two small families. The game area is perfect for a few drinks and dock on the lake perfect for fishing!

Sherry's cottage was the perfect place for our family to view the eclipse from! The place was well-equipped with everything we needed and spotless. Would definitely stay again!

Great house and location was easy to get to, close to airport, and events.

It is a beautiful house where you can smell the family and we liked that a lot. It is close to the ski slopes, very clean and comfortable. Lidsa and Tom have very good communication, excellent service.

We had a great stay, lovely welcoming home and great location - short walking distance to nice places in town and 30min drive to either Sugarbush or Killington/Pico. Thank you!

We enjoyed staying here with easy access to ski at Bolton Valley. Great little house exactly as described. It was the beginning of mud season so the dirt road was a bit challenging.

I've been to Burlington many times to visit my son and Lori's place is my favorite! So cute and comfy, clean and inviting! The charms of an old house but updated for modern convenience. Her attention to detail is quite evident making our experience even better, things like yummy snacks, chocolate on the bed, water filter in the fridge, great towels. I loved the Zebra kitchen so much! It's in a great location, close to downtown. The stairs to access the apartment are quite steep as she shares in her description, something to keep in mind, but we managed fine. Thank you Lori! We will be back!

Our two night stay at Kent’s was absolutely wonderful! Kent was charming, friendly, and gave us great recommendations for places to eat. The apartment was cozy and welcoming, with great attention to meeting guests’ needs. We could not have asked for a better place to spend the weekend and have every intention of going back again!

June’s place is nice and cozy, great amenities including washer/dryer, beautiful views of Lake Champlain and Adirondack mountains. June was a responsive host and helped us get in to her place last minute with ease.

Exactly what we needed! We were in town for a basketball tourney and needed a place to stay while in and out for the weekend. Clean, as listed, felt like home! Roger was extremely responsive and very, very, friendly!! Would stay again!! :)

Cozy space, lovely hosts! Our arrival was perfectly timed with a snow storm. Our hosts were kind, flexible, friendly, and very easy to communicate with. The space is warm and colorful, with a nicely functional kitchen. The area is easily walkable from lakeside to Church St shops, even in snow. As others have mentioned, there is a decent amount of sound bleed between the guest and host spaces, but it was not a problem for us. Pretty typical for an older house, and adds to the coziness. :)

This place was perfect for our quick trip to Burlington! It was comfortable, super clean, and stocked with very thoughtful toiletries and snacks. The location is in a quiet neighborhood, but close enough to walk to everything in town. We'd definitely stay here again!

We greatly enjoyed our second stay here in Burlington at Lea’s place! An easy walk into town to explore the area. We will definitely be back again :)

Erinn was fantastic to work with and super responsive. I sent her a few messages and she respond almost immediately. We asked for an early check in and she was very accommodating! Her home was just as described and spotless. There were clear instructions for both check in and check out which made everything very easy. Her place was walkable to downtown and there were several great places to eat that were dog friendly which was a bonus for us. We would definitely stay again and recommend her!!

great place close to Stowe.

We had a great visit to Stowe. Danielle’s place was great, great location, easy logistics and perfect for a few days of skiing.

Extremely nice cabin, very recently renovated. The owner has a keen eye for organization, everything is neatly placed where it should be. Linens are clean, beds were super comfortable. Amazing stay, thank you Cathy

The condo was excelent. Plenty of space, clean, and well organized. The condo has lots of dishes, pots, pans, cups which made it easy to cook. The grill was in good condition and located perfectly on the balcony. Josh was very responsive and flexible. He gave very clear instructions and the expectations for checkout were very reasonable and easy to complete. Great place to book if you are bringing children and pets! Plenty of yard space for them to play. The location is a close to drive stowe for skiing and to ben and jerrys factory for a fun family acitivty. I highly recommend this location!!

Great view of the mountains across from the trails! Beautiful sunset from the balcony. Jetted bathtubs were appreciated too!

We had a great weekend getaway! Close to Sugarbush for skiing, surrounding towns and restaurants! Would highly recommend a stay here.

We had a great stay. The condo is spacious, and the toys were a big hit with the kids. The location is as advertised - right in the heart of Smuggler's Notch and a short walk to the village and Morse Mountain chairlifts. Getting to / from any part of the resort is a breeze with shuttle service available right outside the building. Having access to the unit's ski locker at the ground level is a big help, and there are plenty of coat hangers as well as ample space to store boots, helmets, etc. It's an ideal place and set-up for a Smuggler's notch ski trip.

We enjoyed our stay, the location of the house was excellent! Easy walk to Tramside base, the provisions store and restaurants. The blue was as described, it was small but cozy and comfortable. We loved being able to have our dog join us as well.
