Sep 30, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy This cottage was in ideal location about midway on the Burlington Bike Path and less than a quarter mile from the trail on a quiet road. And Colchester is a much quieter area than Burlington and without the parking hassles.It was very well provisioned and very comfortable with an enclosed porch convenient for bikes, a nice sun room, well equipped kitchen, comfortable living area, an outdoor picnic table, and kayaks.We also took a couple of walks on the Lake Champlain beach just steps from the property.Both the owner and the nearby property manager were responsive and helpful.We had a wonderful time on our first trip to the Burlington area for biking and hiking. We want to return for kayaking. ![Causeway bike trail north](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/9afada71-8c1c-4dcd-959d-10a05c544396-1759251724580.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Burlington bike trail south](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/1cd1f012-4827-48fa-b5c2-525046e2a22b-1759251736123.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![View from Mt Philo](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/1f67c4fe-72c5-4e5e-afb9-17f795e591c4-1759251738186.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Mouth of the Winooski River on the bike trail south](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/5c0d0a9e-6bf7-49f1-8c54-2cce111c2e74-1759251728340.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Alfonso V.
