Holiday rentals with lake access in Colchester

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!

We had an amazing stay at Bjorn's beautiful home where it was as picture-perfect as advertised! It is a gorgeous and modern home that was clean, well-stocked, and uniquely designed in such stunning surroundings (even in the rainy weather!). We cannot recommend Bjorn's home enough and are so appreciative of his accommodations in helping us celebrate our Middlebury grad!

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.

Ashley’s home is gorgeous! If you like the idea of staying in a lake house with a magnificent view you will not be disappointed. The home has two larger windows, one in kitchen and living room that provides a breathtaking view of the lake. The home is exactly as described and more, very nicely decorated with all new appliances. We could not have been happier with our stay and look forward to the next opportunity to stay again.

We really enjoyed our stay. The property was beautiful and everything was perfect for our graduation weekend (minus the weather).

We loved our stay. It was beautiful and we loved being right by the lake as well as the sauna, fire pit, and outdoor seating. The house was cozy and the little kids toy closet was such a cute touch. We had an amazing time on our family vacation and would definitely recommend this rental. Ash was also so communicative and ready to help if we ever needed anything. So thankful!

Had an amazing time, hosts were friendly and absolutely 0 complaints. Would highly recommend for a peaceful getaway.

Beautiful relaxing space, just as listed. Kylie left thoughtful touches like wine for us and treats for my dogs. She left clear instructions and was very accessible and responsive. We will definitely be back!

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.

Audrey’s Porcupine Farm Barn was the perfect place for us and our pup to get some respite from our day to day grind. With scenic vistas outside our window the space was an ideal blend of rustic and comfortable, and Audrey was around to answer any questions and assist us whenever we needed. We would absolutely stay again - and hopefully will soon!

We had a great stay in Burlington at this space. The apartment was clean and exactly what we needed for our family of four. Walking distance to the water front and Church street. Would highly recommend August First bakery which is a block away. Host was responsive and accommodating.

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!

Peaceful clean and walkable. Great find.

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

Cheri was an amazing host! She has created a spot that feels both like home and a luxury hotel accommodation. The rental is tucked away from the street, is quiet and private and feels relaxed despite being polished and pristine. Cheri was quick on communication on the Airbnb platform and also popped in to make recommendations and to make sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed shortly after check-in. The space was perfect for the 2 of us, and we felt right at home. The kitchen is equipped with just the right amount - not too much, not too little. The lighting and fixtures in every room are thoughtfully chosen, and there are 2 heat pump/ AC units making the whole space comfortable. If you are going to Burlington, this is a perfect spot, a 10ish minute walk from church street marketplace. There are many restaurants and places to grab a cup of coffee or tea and a bite to close by. Also, a short walk from the water and a couple of parks. We're very happy with our stay!

We had a great stay at Lisa’s place! The apartment was nicely decorated and very clean. It was walking distance from lake Champlain and down town Burlington. Highly recommend staying here.

This was a great getaway! It was the perfect size house for the three of us. The kitchen was surprisingly well equipped (especially compared to other places I’ve stayed). Emmy was responsive and available. I wish we could have stayed here longer!

Mary Beth's place is a dream! It is super cute, comfortable, and clean, but the most amazing part is how close it is to the water. There are gorgeous views of the lake from the comfy daybed, the kitchen, and the deck. The beds are comfy, too. I look forward to returning soon.

Great accomodation and plenty of water and supplies. Enjoyed the lake and surrounding area. Would come again.

Absolutely beautiful Airbnb on the lake. Had a blast kayaking until sunset, also checking out a Spa an hour away. We loved our stay. Very clean airbnb, comfortable bed, relaxing chairs both inside and out by the water. It would be an easy choice to stay here again in the future.

Sarah was a great communicator. Everything went smoothly. The place is nice and the water view was outstanding!

Absolutely magical stay 🤩⭐️⭐️ If you’re looking for an escape of the city this is the perfect place!! From the moment we arrived, we felt completely immersed in nature without sacrificing any comfort. The cabin was spotlessly clean, beautifully decorated, and thoughtfully stocked with everything we could need. 🫧 Lisa is such a great host and she is always there for her guests and everything they could possibly need. 💯 If you’ve ever wondered what the real definition of a hidden gem is I would 1000% say it is this beautiful cottage. 😍 I would go back any day and I’ll definitely stay even longer next time because this is such an incredible getaway cottage.

My husband and I stayed at Lisa's cottage while visiting our daughter who is living in Hinesburg. It was the most peaceful house and setting I have experienced through airbnb. This remark is not just in response to the lake, trees and views but because there were no abnormal issues, we received detailed instructions on how to find the home and our hosts were very responsive - absolutely no complications or disappointments. The description and photos on the airbnb site were spot on and we were able to cook several meals. I must mention the dogs - they are incredibly well behaved and my daughter loved them. She misses our family dog, so being with Lisa's was a real treat. They did not come to the cottage and did not jump all over us when we were near them. Finally, the setting is absolutely beautiful and I 100% recommend staying over and over again!

This place was wonderful! It had positively everything we needed :) it was cozy and the covered porch was a true gift on our rainy weekend getaway. I highly recommend!
