This charming home was a hit with my sisters who stayed there instead of a busy hotel for my step daughter’s wedding. Everything was just beautiful from the living spaces, to the kitchen, to the super comfortable beds. The house was decorated for the Fall season in simple and elegant decor. The location on Snake Alley was great to be nearby the cute downtown Burlington area. In the descriptions for this listing, it does point out that you do need to take into consideration that there is parking above Snake Alley as well as below, so you need to be aware that there will be either downhill or uphill trips to your vehicle after you’ve gotten it unloaded. This is not a negative comment for the property in any way.. it’s just on a winding one way cobblestone street, which is part of the charm but which does need to be considered. My older family members were able to navigate it just fine, knowing that there were stairs up and down to tackle. Rebecca was super responsive throughout the entire process, so that made things very easy to arrange, and she gave so many awesome suggestions of things to see and do in Burlington. Overall, absolutely beautiful home in a gorgeous area of town!

Beyond Excellent

An immaculate modern renovation home on a most unique and charming street. Kitchen better equipped than our own homes- and sparkling clean. Cinnamon rolls supplied for breakfast led us on a jaunt to bakery to buy more. We appreciated almost instant communication with host and her suggestions. Don’t miss Martini’s, GOOD and SOM restaurants. Returning in September!

Historical Home

This home is amazing! Plenty of space and extremely clean. New appliances and nicely renovated. A cozy and comfy place to return to after a day of fun. Backyard patio area is so relaxing and quiet. Owner of property responded quickly to questions we had before check in and personally helped us by phone when we had trouble figuring out streaming of TV. I highly recommend this property to anyone visiting Burlington. We will return on our next visit.

Home away from home

We absolutely loved staying at the Snake Alley Inn! The pictures do not do this residence justice. Everything is well appointed down to the light fixtures. Becky went out of her way to make us feel at home. From dining suggestions to the wonderful welcome breakfast and maps of the area. We truly enjoyed our stay. The beds are very comfortable. The kitchen is well stocked and has high end appliances. We will definitely be staying here the next time we are in town. Becky and Kelsi, thank you again for sharing your home with us.

The house was beautiful and immaculately clean. We loved the location on Snake Alley and enjoyed La Tavola for dinner and Wake & Bake for breakfast which were both within walking distance. Thanks to Becky for providing all the info and recommendations we needed for our stay. The accommodations were perfect for our family of 5.

Great getaway

This was a wonderful property to stay at. It was a quick walk to anywhere we wanted to visit and we got to stay on the historic Snake Alley. The accommodations were clean and modern and it was quiet, just a lovely overall experience. I would say if you have a hard time walking or with stairs you may not want to stay here as it is a steep walk.
