Holiday rentals with lake access in Mad River

We had an amazing time and a huge part of it was because of this house and owners! Exactly what we needed and the house was like a home away from home! Everything we could need was there we just had to bring ourselves! Any questions were answered very quickly! The house was exactly as pictured and described and the beds are very comfortable! We would absolutely stay here again!

Bjorn’s home is pristine and could not be nestled in a more beautiful place. He was very responsive and the house is well supplied with everything you could need. Highly recommend and look forward to staying here again!!

Great place to stay with a group. Every bedroom had a full bath and kitchen was large. Because we were off season rate was good.

We had a great stay at John’s place! The space was clean, comfortable, and exactly as described. John was a great host—responsive and helpful throughout our visit. The four of us had a pleasant and relaxing stay, and we’d definitely recommend this Airbnb to others. Would happily stay again!

This is a lovely place with perfect rustic lived-in Vermont vibes. Our trip was for my 35th birthday and the host left a sweet handwritten happy birthday note, bottle of champagne and a few signature Vermont snacks. I felt very well taken care of and would absolutely come back again in a heartbeat. By the way, the neighbors’ dog is a perfect angel and we were happy to share some of our scramble with him when he dropped by to say good morning.

This is a fantastic retreat! Ash and Ryan were very proactive and easy to message with. The house is decorated so beautifully. You can feel the thoughtfulness within every placement of every crystal and decoration. The sauna was superb! My favorite moment was looking out the back of the sauna (and the windows of the house) watching geese fly onto the lake and dive for fish.

Place was so great! We went up to Burlington to visit family with 3 couples and 2 kids. So much space for everyone. It was even larger than the photos made it seem. Would love to come back when it’s warmer to enjoy the outside space.

We were 2 couples visiting children at UVM. The house was close enough to campus to go back and forth easily. The large kitchen and dining room meant we could cook big family dinners and sit around the table together - something we miss while they're at school. The rooms were large and clean with ample drawers and closet space and 8 of us easily slept there the night the kids stayed over. Bathrooms were great as well. We brought rackets and were able to use the public tennis courts right up the road. If the weather were nicer I'm sure we could have grilled and taken advantage of the huge back yard. There were 2 spots in the large, clean garage and plenty of driveway parking. All in all it was a much more affordable, versatile place to stay than downtown hotels.

If you’re looking for a small place in burli it’s worth it

Tanner was the ultimate host. His property was pristine and worked out great for two couples. He had labeled all the cabinets in the kitchen so that it was easy to find whatever you were looking for! The lockable outside shed for our bikes was a huge plus. The stairs to the 2nd floor apt were a bit steeper than normal but were still easy to navigate. The living room had multiple seating options. Beds were very comfortable. Showers had plenty of hot water and ample towels were available. Would highly recommend this property. We will definitely be returning!

We had a lovely stay. The place was exactly as described, walkable to everything you could want in town. The place was clean, organized, and everything was clearly laid out and labeled. The fireplace was great for warmth and helped create a cozy environment. The kitchen was helpful, and the place had thoughtful touches that made it feel cared for like the extra blankets, heated floors, and bathroom toiletries. One thing of note, we stayed in the winter and a combination of the snow on one side and a large utility truck on the other made it feel quite tight pulling into the designated space on the driveway. I imagine at any other time guests would not experience this, and it would by no means deter me from staying again when up in Vermont!

We decided to stop a night in Burlington, VT on our way back to NYC from Quebec. We were very excited to find this place! It was very charming & cozy. Close to many restaurants & shops. The host was super responsive with any questions we had & always made sure we were well taken care of. Highly recommended!

Our short stay was great! Apartment was clean, comfortable, welcoming, charming. Even small fold down sofa in living room was comfortable with topper on it, according to teen kid. Kitchen and bathroom super clean and well laid out. Everything working. Nice touches. I was super conscious that we were 5 people in an apartment above a home with a young family and, as we came back late from the Flynn, was mindful of squeaky stairs and floors above as our group walked around. I chose for its walkability to Church Street although the weather necessitated using a car. Street parking was easy and free. I would highly recommend this property.

One of the best hosts we've ever experienced. Cheri offers to customize furniture in the space based on guest's needs, offers fresh bed sheets on regular basis, and has zero steps required for checkout. It's clear she prioritizes the overall experience for the guest and actually cares about being a good host.

Location is perfect! Very close to great restaurants and shops. The house was so clean and perfect for a group of three. Had everything we needed. Would stay again

We had a great stay at this apartment. The instructions were excellent and the accommodations were exactly as described. It is a warm, welcoming, and clean space with two good-sized bedrooms and a nice living room and dining room space. The kitchen was well equipped. It is in a good location, walkable to the downtown area as well as the waterfront. Communication with Max was clear and straightforward and he kindly and quickly mailed the laptop I left behind to me at my home (thanks again Max!).

The main intention behind our visit to Banjo's Cottage was to disconnect and it proved to be absolutely perfect for doing just that. Cozy decor, manageable layout, well-stocked kitchen, no TV, beautiful grounds, convenient location...Lesley and her family provided it all in spades. We read books, completed a puzzle, took in the stars and enjoyed the silence. 20 mins south of Middlebury, and just over an hour south of Burlington...this place offers prime seclusion, as well as easy access to areas of interest. Lesley is always responsive and eager to accommodate. Special shoutout for ensuring we were fully prepared to stay somewhere new with a 13-month old. Pack 'n Play, highchair, outlet covers, toys and books...all generously offered upon arrival. Reading through the log it becomes apparent that this place holds a magical quality to all those who visit. We definitely hope to be back some day.

The location is peaceful and beautiful. Loved having our morning coffee on the dock overlooking the lake and autumn leaves. Enjoyed kayaking to Paddlers Pub for drinks & food. The cottage is very cozy and just enough space for 2 people.

This place is absolutely beautiful and the condition of the place is excellent! Would love to stay again.

My friend and I enjoyed our stay at this cabin! The views from the cabin are beautiful, and you can’t beat the location directly on the lake. The lake views from inside, the screened in porch, and the backyard were awesome. The kitchen had supplies to make breakfasts/basic meals, the space was clean, and the beds were comfortable. We used this cabin as a home base for visiting Burlington, Waterbury, and Stowe and found it easy to navigate to and from the highway to these larger cities.

The cottage on Joes Pond was well furnished, super clean and equipped with everything needed! (Bring a bag of ice) Cottage was 100 steps to the lakefront/dock and the pergola on the lawn was a perfect spot to sit in the shade and watch the grandkids jumping off the dock. We tied the kids floaties and my brothers’ kayak to the dock and the “pond playground” was complete! The outdoor deck facing the lake was large and well furnished including a propane grill. Plenty of comfortable beds and space for everyone. The girls fell in love with the neighbors goldens and voila, they had a swimming partner. Very comfortable and Susan/Jeff were great hosts.

Mary Lou’s place was absolutely phenomenal. I came in the middle of October, and it was peak cozy, fall vibes! The cabin next to the docks in the foliage felt like I was in a painting. I absolutely would love to come back and just cozy up under a blanket next to the fire place. Highly recommend staying in this gem of a place if you have the opportunity.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Lake Elmore Cottage; it met all of our expectations for a serene stay with beautiful lake views and spectacular foliage. The cottage was very comfortable and peaceful, with direct and easy access to the lake (for canoeing and swimming). The cottage is also directly adjacent to Elmore State Park, where there is nice hiking to the peak of Mount Elmore. Debra was super helpful with terrific recommendations for food and cocktails, and with any questions we had about the property and local activities. Would definitely recommend!

Great place to stay right outside of Burlington. (Visiting my daughter at UVM) Easy to get to and plenty around to do. The scenery was amazing- took some beautiful pics of the sunrise and sunset! Kitchen had everything you need to cook a nice meal. Beds were comfortable too! Would stay here again!!
