Waterfront holiday rentals in Colchester

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.

a very nice and quiet place for me and my friends to relax! the river was sooo beautiful townake up to in the morning and we all made some s'mores by the campfire! right next to a nice restaurant and a Stewart's so we could even get everything we needed for the fire! would come back here again and thanks for letting us stay!

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!

We stayed for a month and it couldn’t have been more perfect! Looked just like the pics (even better actually) and was squeaky clean! June was super responsive and very friendly / knowledgeable about where to go. SO MUCH to do in the area! Her place is walkable to just about everywhere nearby - safe and super quiet. Bed was super comfy and shower was awesome! Kitchen had everything we needed and the washer dryer unit is a powerhouse. The back yard views of the lake are to die for! We brought our bikes and rode the trails all over. Do the causeway if you have bikes (or rent them). June’s guide is chock full of amazing suggestions and she responds quickly with questions. LOVED OUR STAY! Thanks June!!

Really great location near the lake and near the centre of town, with a helpful and communicative host. Would recommend!

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!

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!

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

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!

We had a wonderful stay at this tiny home in Vermont. It had everything we needed and instantly felt comfortable. The location by the river was perfect! It felt really peaceful and serene. Our host Tyler was also super helpful and accommodating. Overall, a very good experience.

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!

A perfect few days and one of the best Airbnb's that I ever stayed in. The hot tub, as well as the fully stocked kitchen - the best; and the plunge pool was so refreshing. You really feel that you are floating on the water while sitting on the adirondack chairs overlooking the lake. Everything in this Airbnb was a 10++++++!!!! We will definitely be back. This mini vacation was prelude to a longer on Cape Cod, and it was very painful to leave. Thanks for a little piece of Heaven. Ange

This place is gorgeous- perfect for a large group stay, with plenty of space and great amenities. Had a blast drinking tea and enjoying the view at the end of the dock. Very close to downtown Burlington made it easy to access local shops and restaurants. James was a great host who was very communicative and responded promptly. Highly recommend!

Beautiful cabin in the woods that isn’t too far from anything but feels isolated just the same. Terrific base of operations to access many trailheads, Lake Placid and Saranac Lake. Restful and low maintenance stay. We would recommend and visit again.

The view of the lake is so serene and having access to it on the property was quite the bonus feature. My family knew it was too cold to swim but we were looking forward to the calmness of it all. Dominique let us know that she'd be around the last night of our stay which was a nice heads up in case we heard any noises in the main house above. They were very quiet neighbors! We took a trip over to Cold Hollow Sculpture Park during the day to visit during their last open weekend of the year which was a nice way to see some art and the surrounding landscape. Maybe next time we'll get a bite to eat somewhere but we had everything we needed to prepare meals so we mostly stayed put this time around. We'd love to stay again next time we're looking for a VT getaway if they'd have us.

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

Loved staying at Jake's place. It was so easy to get around and the accomodations were very clean and comfortable. We would definitely stay here again!

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.

Great, quiet getaway - perfect home base to explore Stowe from!

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.

What a hidden gem in northern Vermont. If you are into skiing, this spot is convenient to access Jay Peak and other great resorts. Regarding the property, our group felt right at home surrounded by a beautiful space with small walking trails and the constant roaring of an amazing waterfall. The space was fully equipped with everything we needed and even more. Completely recommended, you will not be dissapointed.

Our friend group was looking for a place to stay close to the whiteface mountain and we got super lucky to find Jo’s house! Beautiful house, stylish & super cozy - we felt like at home right away! All this in addition to beautiful surroundings made our trip an unforgettable experience! Each bedroom had a private bathroom and a common bathroom on the first floor which was amazing for a group of 6 people. Showers deserve an additional mention - it was definitely a calming and relaxing experience! Jo is an amazing host. Communication was great, we were given a lot of recommendations about local “must-visit” places. The host is super responsive, kind and understanding! Overall, it was an unforgettable experience at Jo’s place and hopefully we can go there again in the future! we highly recommend it!!
