Large and Cozy, Scenic Walks, Private Entry, Jacuzzi Tub

Top New VT Host Winner! This private-entry, large master bedroom suite with pillow-topped king bed, breakfast bar, desk and recreation space is ideally located in Malletts Bay, Colchester, less than 15 minutes from Burlington. Walk out the door to the lake, bikepath, park, woods trails, pickleball, snowshoe, skating, kayaking, fishing and breathtaking beach sunsets. Wander nearby natural areas or visit the vibrant downtown areas of Burlington or Winooski, then return to your private suburban getaway and relax in the cozy space complete with jacuzzi tub. Bring your pets! Dogs love the big grassy yard and the private beach down the street.

What you'll find here is a well-lighted brick pathway leading from dedicated off-street parking to your secure private entry. Walking in amidst cheery artwork on dark chocolate-colored walls, you'll notice that the whole space is large and ideally set up for guests. To your right sits the "world's most comfy" king-sized bed. Straight ahead is an 80 inch west window where you can spot the lake through the trees and even watch kitesurfers or skaters if the weather is right. Below there's a convenient workstation and a cheery daybed, and to your right a long dresser and a breakfast nook with coffeemaker, toaster, fridge and microwave. The spacious and clean private bathroom features a shower stall and a standalone tub with powerful jacuzzi jets. Garage parking will keep your car snug in winter or safely house your sports gear in summer.

Convenient location and easy to find, just one mile from the enchanting Colchester Causeway, a reclaimed rail trail that loops three miles into the lake, and the pristine Rossetti Natural Area and Thayer Beach. Downtown Burlington, UVM and Interstate 89 are all less than 15 minutes' drive, and bespoke water fun like Sail Wild Air boat charters are 8 minutes away.

Amenities include private entry, covered garage, en suite bathroom with shower + jacuzzi tub, optional A/C and electric fireplace. Keurig, speedy wifi, minifridge, microwave, shared patio, tv, and games provided. Please note there is not a full kitchen, and for that reason we rarely accept stays longer than than two weeks. Pet comfort items including an orthopedic xl dog bed are available at no charge upon request.

We hope you will come stay with us and welcome you to consider The Chocolate Room your home away from home in Vermont.
