Thank you very much Tony. You were excellent guests and we hope you find your way back sometime.
House was good. Easy location for traveling back and forth to Burlington. Could have used a couple more wine glasses. Shower in the primary bedroom needs a little work.
The host was kind and accommodating. We had a good time on Colchester, Vermont. The house is large, the kitchen is great and had many essentials one needs when cooking, or even just enjoying coffee or tea. Our host graciously had coffee and half-n- half..... lovely. The master bathroom is absolutely divine (as you can see in the photos), the large spa like tub is every bit delicious as it looks... can't help but spend time there. I appreciated the details in the home that made our stay fun and relaxing. I would recommend staying there. Oh yes, I almost forgot, the hot tub is sweeeet!

Thank you Jacquelynn and friends for your thoughtful comments. it was a pleasure having you and the girls visit us over the holidays. I am glad you enjoyed our home. We try to have a little something for everyone to enjoy during their time away from home.
Our stay in Colchester was so comfortable. The property was exactly as advertised, and we appreciated the bagel breakfast the host kindly left for us when we arrived. Kind host. Looking forward to our next visit to Vermont!

Thank you Jody. You were ideal guests and left the house in immaculate condition. We are glad you like the bagels, coffee and caramel Welch's candies.
Recommend Claudia’s property! It is a cozy home with lot of board games, books and a cozy living room!
We enjoyed our stay there during fall! The hot tub was super appealing but didn’t have the time to make use of it. Very close to Burlington and Essex. Good location but a little hard to locate at night m
I have used Vrbo only twice to book vacation homes and both times it has not worked out, causing lots of stress and having to scramble to find a hotel. This time the host listed the property as having AC, but when we arrived, there was no AC at all. Windows were raised and fans were blowing and the house was incredibly damp and smelly. I have allergies and rely on AC this time of year. My mold allergy is particularly severe, and my husband and I could not stay there.

At the time of your visit window ac units and ceiling fans were what we had advertised. We are sorry it didn't work out. We wish you had let us know how important the AC was to you.

Nice home, less privacy than expected from listing
The home inside was nice and large enough for our purposes, however we did not end up staying.
The deck pictured is not private - the house is separated from an high grass yard by a driveway that encircles the home and is shared with a spa that is "legally" not the same property, but for all intents and purposes is 10 feet from the back entrance and shares the driveway. This spa is also open 11.5 hours/day and has active customers.
The hot tub is in the photo, but not listed as a feature of the home - make sure to contact to ensure it will be on when you get there. There is no A/C currently, but it's in the works. The unfinished basement only locks from the basement, not from the main floor - basement also has separate door that leads to the outside, in front of spa.
As a group of bachelorettes, we were uncomfortable with some of the unexpected issues on this property. After conversations with VRBO and the owner (who was very responsive via VRBO messenger and texting), we received a refund from the owner and left the property.
The house was very clean and well equipped. The host responded immediately to any questions we had both before we arrived and while we were there. Despite being on a main road, it was quiet and peaceful. The house was spacious and the hot tub and deck at the back of the house provided a perfect place for our group of 4 friends to hang out.
We had a wonderful time in the Colchester, VT area. The check-in process was seamless, and the home was clean, neat, and spacious. It is worth noting that the location of this home is super convenient to many local attractions, hiking, swimming, and shopping in nearby Burlington. Oh, and the hot tub was clean and a delightful way to relax each evening. We will definitely stay here during our next trip to Vermont!
