Beautiful 3 BR Cedar Ranch Home with Awesome Master and Cooks Kitchen
The cedar shingled ranch house has been upgraded with a beautiful cook’s kitchen. The kitchen has a SS appliances, a gas stove with two ovens, two skylights, undercabinet lighting, and tile flooring. There are solatubes throughout the ceilings of the house with one that includes overhead lighting. The Master Bedroom is like your own oasis with a Canopy Bed, beautiful big walk-in cedar closet, a Master Bathroom with jacuzzi, open shower, heated towel racks, custom cabinetry with double sinks all surrounded with natural stone. The rest of the home has wood flooring throughout with a gas fireplace in the living room, a piano in the dining room for gathering after dinner for singalongs, two additional bedrooms and a large family game room for gatherings and a pullout futon that can be made into a double bed. We have overhead ceiling fans in the Master Bedroom and Den and have just installed (2) Mini splits that will provide AC on warm Vermont Days. If you prefer natural air or if it is not that hot, there are window screens located in the master closet. There is a large back deck with a privacy screen with a new 5-person hot tub and patio furniture for warm or cold nights which is a great place to relax after a long day of hiking, biking, shopping or visiting friends. .
The house shares a driveway with a spa business that sits back about 20' on the left. The people that run it are nice, respectful and very quiet.

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!
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
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!
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.

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.
