Causeway Bike Path steps away with Water access and Kayaks.

Perfectly situated steps to The World Famous Colchester Causeway Bike path and cross country skiing trail, overlooking outer Malletts Bay and only minutes to Burlington.
The options are endless, your enjoyment infinite.
The mundane details for your pragmatic side:
Relax on our Bluff, enjoy a book on our 3 season porch and revisit some almost forgotten creative thoughts.
Completely Fully furnished 2 bedroom cottage, Queen sized bed in the Large bedroom and a twin sized bed in the second bedroom. As if your plans are not enough we have a smattering of books or you can go old school with a deck of cards.
We love our cottage and our neighbors so a few guidelines are in order
Clean up it has been our experience that over the years our guest cleans up after themselves so our cleaning fee is very low.
For our Winter 30 day plus guest, snow removal and trash pick up not included

Wonderful location
This is a wonderful location near the Causeway and access to the lake while very quiet neighborhood. The property was clean and ready for use. The smaller bedroom has an awkward access to the bathroom limiting privacy. Great for a couple.

Not as advertised
Let me start by saying that this cabin is perfectly fine and a very good price. The location is very convenient to the bike trail, although the path to the lake & kayaks is pretty treacherous. They do not charge a “cleaning fee”, so I can forgive the dead bugs in all the windows and the overgrown garden. My major issues with this listing are the inaccuracies. Most importantly, this is NOT a true 2 bedroom. The second bedroom is actually a den with the only access to the only bathroom. They put glass doors (no curtain) on the entry and called it a bedroom. This meant that the “bedroom” had ZERO privacy. For some groups, this would work. It did not work for us. Other mis-advertised Amenities: Washer – actually a laundromat 7 minutes away AC – only in the primary bedroom. Deck/patio – just a fire pit in the grass

A great little cottage with everything you need for a comfortable stay
I had a great experience at this property! It was the perfect place to watch the eclipse, and made a a great home base. I was pleasantly surprised at how well stocked the kitchen was, as far as dining ware and cookware goes. We needed to call Albert to turn up the heat, but he arrived promptly and was very pleasant to interact with. We loved the decor of the place, and would love to return if we find ourselves in the neighborhood again.

Northern Lights
We had traveled to the area, in hopes of seeing the Northern Lights. We read that Mallets Bay was a top location, due to minimal light pollution. It was a dark new moon weekend, but overcast and there didn't seem to be any actual solar activity. There was also much more light pollution than we expected. That said, we enjoyed our weekend in the Burlington area and might return to this property for kayaking & summer activities. It is a -frills home, but was spotlessly clean and comfy. The heater was noisy, so we closed the bed room door. This made the bedroom cool, but the comforter and bed were very comfortable. Our only beef was that the guitar was out of tune and a picture was crooked ;-) . Enjoy!

Vers nice little place
Well equiped house in a very quiet environment. It is not the most modern house in the life but it was ok. The only negative comment we have is that we were annoyed by the droplets falling from the roof on the air conditionner outside the bedroom (please do something) all night long (it rained a little in the evening). Otherwise it was perfect.

Nice, with a couple of Buts
Charming cabin just across small road to Lake Champlain. Pleasant spot, though minimal direct view of lake, due to early summer foliage. Nice firepit and Adirondack chairs alongside firepit. Ck in was a little awkward, as it was chilly, and owner had set gas heater on 64 degrees. Intro note at property requested tenants Not adjust temp, so we called owner. He came over and turned up heat. HOWEVER, the obviously old gas heater was Very noisy. So much so that it was impossible to listen to music. Called owner back. His solution -- frankly, after a bit of shoulder shrugging -- was to fetch a plug-in radiator from another of his properties next door. That, along with ceiling fan, worked okay...though we sometimes also needed gas oven on cold mornings. The oven definitely needed cleaning, however, so had to leave on fan and slightly open a few windows to minimize oven odors. Bottom line: cabin Definitely needs a heater upgrade. Advertised access to canoe/kayak wasn't completely accurate, as they were positioned on a rack, alongside a 5-6 ft high rock ledge, adjacent the lakeshore. There was narrow metal stairway leading down the ledge to the water. It would seem that using the kayak/canoe would require somehow lowering down the stairs? In our view, that would be a cumbersome job, even for 2 people. Other than the above, the property was charming and comfortable.

Great Location
Quiet neighborhood a short drive from Burlington, right by the not-to-be-missed bike/walk causeway, and steps from a rocky beach on Lake Champlain. Two kayaks, fun, funky decor. Good wireless and kitchen tools and appliances. On the not-so-plus side, there was a persistent musty/cigarette smell that was worse when the AC unit was on, and the floors in two of the rooms are significantly unlevel.

Mallet Bay house
We have been renting houses through VBRO for many years. The houses have always been exceptionally clean and well maintained. So needless to say, we were very disappointed when we walked into the house and found it was not as clean and well maintained, as we expected a rental to be. My husband did enjoy playing the guitar and the keyboard, that was a plus for him.

Disappointed
The whole house is leaning. There was a cold breeze. Enough to blow the curtains. The head of the bed was facing downhill and the mattress was old and hard. The heater was old and very noisy. Like sleeping on an airplane in a window seat.We could not stay there for the second night , but still paid for it . Was a waste of money. It specifically says no refunds. They rated it 4.5 stars. I really expected more. It has a large frozen front porch I’m sure would be very nice in the summer. Faces the lake.
