About this property

Onion City Retreat: a place to relax and rejuvenate.

Welcome to the Onion City Retreat, where Winooski is waiting for you at this charming 2-bedroom apartment. Winooski got its name from the Abenaki dialect and means “where the wild onion grows.” Inside, guests will find one bedroom with a soothing space featuring a king bed and the other bedroom with a full-size bed. You will also have a living room with a convenient full-size Murphy bed. Climate control keeps the apartment pleasant year-round with heating and AC. On a warm day, relax on the large back deck with views of Camel's Hump and UVM. Cozy up on the couch to read a book or watch a movie on cool weather days. Regardless, whether you’re unwinding after a day of exploring or enjoying a quiet morning, this terrific spot feels like a true home away from home. Our place is equipped for both long or short stays to make your holiday one to remember. Featured artwork by a local artist is available for purchase.

Our stay was more than we had hoped for! The property was adorable and the little details really enhanced our stay. For example, the bath towels were so absorbent and I want to buy some for myself!! Laura was very responsive and helpful. It was wonderful to have our own parking spot just in front of the door. And we enjoyed a drink on the back patio at night. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!

It was a very nice stay! Place was clean, the host left great dinner recommendations, we were provided accommodations to do laundry while there, and it was quiet/peaceful! The only downside for us was that there was not AC even though it was mentioned in the posting - fortunately several standing fans were provided and it was cool outside so we were able to sleep with the windows open. We would stay here again!

Apartment was clean and very comfy! The first day we noticed some ants, but the hosts were very responsive and quickly placed ant traps for us while we were out. The ants cleared up overnight and we didn't notice them again! Communication was great and the host was very nice.

About the host

Hosted by Laura

Host profile image
We are both originally from New York State and landed here about 30 years ago. We are so proud to call Vermont home! We love the outdoors: hiking, biking, kayaking, snowshoeing, and more. We also love to travel and explore restaurants, breweries, and cafes. We are so excited to have you stay at the Onion City Retreat!

Why they chose this property

We lived in a neighboring town for years and once we became empty nesters we knew we were ready to move on. We love living in a city where we can walk to anything we need. We not only have our Airbnb in Winooski, but live here as well.

What makes this property unique

The apartment is its own unit, so guests essentially have their own home. It boasts a large deck with beautiful views and has a private backyard as well. We are just a 10 minute walk to the circle, and less than a 5 minute drive to I89. It is the perfect location!
