Cottage holiday rentals in Essex

Wonderful place to stay with family. Great location for skiing at Stowe. Beautiful location and very responsive host.

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!

This will now be our favorite place to stay. Cassandra and Jeremy thought of everything. The kitchen,bathrooms and every room had all the amenities that made it feel like home. We actually tried to think if anything was missing and we couldn’t think of anything. We enjoyed going into Lake Placid a few days but then also just chilled at the house since we didn’t want to leave. We can’t wait to come back again.

My girlfriend and I loved our time at Andrew's cottage. The interior has coziness and charm, with taxidermy, one-of-a-kind woodsy furnishings, and old board games. The hot tub is easy to use and feels luxurious. The pond is glorious. Kayaking was a treat. The indoor fireplace switches on and off but is designed to look like a real wood burning stove. The outdoor fire pit provides the pleasure of burning actual wood, and it was easy to start with kindling provided. The only advisory I would give is that there is a spiral staircase down to the first floor if you're sleeping upstairs in the bed and need to use the bathroom during the night. This didn't bother either of us, but might not be a perfect fit for everyone. Thank you, Andrew, for sharing your serene spot.

We stayed for my daughter’s Midd graduation. It’s less than a 20 minute drive to Middlebury. Ardie and Mike are such lovely, hard working, kind and receptive human beings. I loved meeting them. They were so welcoming and accommodating, down to earth people. I would stay here again in a heartbeat - in any one of the cabins.

Adam was an incredible host. He was extremely responsive and helpful throughout our stay providing recommendations and quick answers to questions whenever needed. The home was immaculately clean when we arrived. This also had to be the most well equipped Airbnb I've ever stayed at. From the kitchen supplies, board games, vinyls, CDs, to the throughly detailed guidebook written by host, I was so beyond impressed! The most outstanding part of this stay is of course the location and the views this home provides. It provided the perfect private oasis for a stay to just unwind and unplug. I'd highly recommend this stay if your local for a tranquil, low-key retreat.

Beautiful secluded surroundings and a peaceful pond. The house is very well kept and well decorated.

We had such a great family stay at The Cozy Cottage. You can tell that the home was very well built and it was extremely comfortable for our family with kids. The wood stove is awesome and heats up the whole house with plentiful wood in the basement and instructions to use the stove. The house was very clean and well appointed. We spent 2 nights there while we skied Sugarbush and the location was great for us. I would definitely recommend this home and look forward to returning next year!

This place is so wonderful! Everything is provided for your comfort. Rayna was great in communicating an issue about one of the toilet is not working and offered a full refund if that would be a problem, which it was not at all. The location is great. Easy access to the lake for swimming or kayaking (kayak/canoe is available for use). It has a nice patio for sitting while enjoying the sunset view. This makes it to the list of favorite places to stay.

Awesome space and location. 100% recommend especially if you want to be closer to the mountain. Can walk to breakfast the Round Hearth

This place has everything you want from a cabin near Smugglers Notch. Spacious, beautiful views of the mountain, and just a 10 minute drive from skiing. Easy recommend for anyone looking for a great place to stay on their ski trip or otherwise.

The place was great. We had everything we needed. I recommend this place!

Very impressed with our stay here and would definitely come back! Pleasantly surprised how centrally located it was in Lake Placid - quick drive to local attractions, grocery store but could also walk 15-20 minutes to Main Street. Hosts provided very clear instructions, were very responsive. Everything was very clean and cozy too. Love the outdoor amenities too like the chairs, fire pit, grill and sauna.

Linda was a fantastic host, and her home was even better than listed. The cabin was a good size for our family of four + dog; the 2 bed / 2 bath arrangement allowed for good privacy when needed. The fireplace was great for apres and winding down at night. Location is a nice mix of seclusion (off the Mountain Rd), but close to everything.

Tonya went above expectations to make sure we had a pleasant stay. She even arranged with her neighbor to allow us space to park our boat trailer. This was a great location for boating and we had a wonderful time. Highly recommend this as the p!ace to stay. Thanks Tonya, you are a super host and we appreciated your recommendations for grocery shopping, restaurants and best boat launch. We made some special memories with our grandson and fishing on Lake Champlain. We had a great time.

We had a fantastic stay at in this remote getaway in the Adirondacks. The property was perfect for us and our dog, which plenty of space to explore and a cozy fireplace to come back to. The drive to Lake Placid is easy and scenic, and the host's recommendations for local spots were great. The host was also very personable and even stopped by to drop off cookies. Overall, a perfect retreat!

Beautiful setting! Very peaceful and relaxing… just what we were looking to find. Anne described her home perfectly! We had everything we needed and more. Clear instructions were left concerning how to work appliances as well as check out details. Great location to restaurants. Would love to return someday.

The Keene Valley cottage was a lovely, recently updated cottage in the heart of the Adirondack High Peaks. Nestled in Keene Valley, NY, it's a beautiful getaway for anyone who wants four-season outdoor adventures or to explore nearby Lake Placid. The cottage had all the amenities to comfortably house a small group or family of four. The cottage was bigger than I expected, though just as cute, given the posted photos. David was a great host and responsive on text at check-in and check-out.

Peter was a great host! He was very responsive to all of our, sometimes silly, questions. the cottage was cozy and had the perfect amount of creature comforts. love all the windows, let in the sunlight and perfect view for the sunrise! just what we needed!

Our stay was amazing! We were moving our daughter into her dorm at UVM and were in Burlington for a week. We decided to stay here rather than a hotel near campus. It was the best decision ever. Jack and Robin’s cottage was the perfect place to prepare for dorm move-in. We were able to get out and explore the area. The sunrises over Lake Champlain were beautiful while we drank our morning coffee. Walks on the causeway were great for watching sunsets. 10/10 will stay here again when we visit our daughter at UVM. Go Catamounts!

This house on Sterling Brook was amazing! All of the windows and deck overlooking the brook were wonderful for the stunning view. This is one of the nicest Airbnbs we’ve stayed in and would love to go back. Our only complaint is that we didn’t book it for long enough!

This is my second stay and I hope to be back again!

This rustic yet modern cabin surrounded by conifers and broad-leaf trees with the sound of the nearby creek and a large deck for viewing the mountain scenery is the place to be to get unplugged. The large windows allow you to feel connected to the outside while staying inside! The firepit added to our incredible experience at this cabin. Staying here again would be a no-brainer! Peter is awesome!
