Everything was top notch! Super clean and well appointed with a spectacular view over Mallets Bay, this was a wonderful place to have as a home base while exploring the area. Check in was a breeze and the hosts were incredibly friendly and helpful. The spiral staircase down to the lower level bedroom may be a challenge for those with limited mobility but we had no problems with it. The bedroom on the main floor is easily accessed. WiFi and television worked perfectly, the kitchen is fully equipped, and the beds were fresh and comfortable. We would definitely stay again!

Lovely place. Will have to visit in summer

Lovely place and a perfect size for our family of four and dogs. The view from this house is spectacular that we wished we came in the summer but, for a nice family getaway it was a gem. Stephanie was amazing she was great at communicating with us and let us stay an extra night since a snowstorm was incoming the day we were going to leave. Can not recommend this place enough.

Cute stay close to Burlington

Very cute and clean stay outside of downtown Burlington. The beds were both very comfortable, and we appreciated the provided amenities. It was a quick 10-15 minute drive to downtown Burlington and 40th minutes to Waterbury (Ben and Jerry’s). I would stay here again and hope to bring my pup next time!

About the host

Hosted by Stephanie Chicoine

Host profile image
My husband and I are native Vermonters. We have owned a Dock Service Company for 12 years. While he is out working on the water, I take care of the office work, yardwork, tenants, Airbnb, and dog walking! You'll probably see me walking by with our dog/pony Ruger!

Why they chose this property

We purchased this property from a dear friend who owned it for 30+ years. An older man who was retiring from the Dock business and ready to give us the opportunity to expand and to love these buildings and marina up!

What makes this property unique

Year round beauty. Marina.
