About this property

Private lakefront cottage on Lake Champlain, feet from Causeway bike path.

Private year-round cottage on Lake Champlain (Mallets Bay), a 10:00 drive to downtown Burlington and area colleges. You will be treated to glorious panoramic lake views, with an open-floor plan, fully equipped kitchen, outdoor grill - Cabana bar and beach fire pit. The world-class Colchester Causeway bike path is just minutes outside our door. Sleeps 4-6 with a queen-size bed in the upstairs open-loft, a full-size bed in the downstairs bedroom, and a full-size sleeper sofa in the living room. Relaxation is pretty much guaranteed. Great fishing just steps out our door. Enjoy all four seasons that Vermont has to offer! We are pet friendly (one dog only, no cats). The cottage is located in a quiet community that we treasure. Because of this, we limit the number of guest that stay, and require that all of the Mills Point Association Rules are followed, including leashed dogs, parking regulations and no loud parties.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

Wonderful!The property has been carefully perfected for guests to have a comfortable and restful stay. As an example, I especially appreciated the care that was put into making sure it was easy to keep the entire space at a comfortable temperature. When staying away from home, tending to that sort of thing can otherwise take time and attention away from enjoyment. Even in shoulder season, the location makes it a perfect getaway - especially for birders. The view out the picture windows is mesmerizing. Instructions and communication were crystal clear. Thank you!

Perfect for our Thanksgiving Getaway

We enjoyed the peace and quiet the cottage offered over the Thanksgiving holiday. The views, the fire pit, the star-filled night sky, the quick walk to the Causeway — all exactly what we hoped for in a getaway.

Great spot to get away!

Great area, tons of activities for the whole family. Fishing right out in the back yard on the lake. Burlington is 15 minute drive, ECHO center is great for kids and bike/walking path right outside along the lake. This house has everything we needed and more.

Visiting Burlington in Feb

Great small cottage on the water. We were here in Feb during a huge snow storm and it was absolutely beautiful. Cottage is close to essentials like grocery and gas and a short drive to all the restaurants in Burlington.

The property was beautiful, clean, and family friendly. My family had such a great time we look forward to going back! The only disappointment was that we thought we could use the dock for our family boat but could not due to it needed repairs we were unaware of. Aside from that it was the perfect quiet family getaway. Thank you!

We were absolutely stunned by the beauty of this cabin on the lake. It far surpassed the pictures. We loved the location and biked every day on the causway and South Hero. The cabin was super cozy and comfortable for us. We enjoyed coffee every morning over looking the beautiful lake. It was the perfect spot to slow down and unwind. Thank you Susan for making this so easy and welcoming.

Birdwatching on Lake Champlain

Lovely cottage with big picture window overlooking Lake Champlain. We enjoyed seeing the sunset and sunrise glow on the water and watching all kinds of birds -- egrets, herons, cormorants, loons etc. all around the property. Thoroughly enjoyed this stay!

Great Escape Place

My friend and I stayed at this property while teaching a class in the area. We really appreciated our daily return to this restful and restorative spot. Great views of the bay with plenty of bird activity for entertainment. Thank you for this wonderful spot. We did have lots of rain which kept us indoors so appreciated all the cozy blankets and wraps provided.
