Life on the Lake

Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'

Sit on the dazzling waters of Lake Champlain and experience waterside living at its finest when you and your family escape to Colchester! Fun can be curated right from the comfort of your stay as you play on the beach and then barbecue come nightfall. When venturing away from your vacation rental, check out the nearby parks, beaches, and the drive-in theater.

Lounge in the spacious living area after a day spent in the sun. Here, you can warm up in front of the fireplace while engaging in playful competition over a board game or watching a movie. The chef of your family will be delighted with the modern kitchen's gleaming countertops, farmhouse sink, stainless steel appliances, and breakfast bar. Dine inside or outside, depending on your mood.

Each bedroom, as bright and airy as the last, will be a welcomed escape for your loved ones. Grab a book from the home's mini library, refresh your clothes in the private washer/dryer, and practice self-care while soaking in the bathtub.

Wake up each morning excited to create more life-long memories!

a lovely family spot
great home, lots of space, dog-friendly, beautiful lake view. no outdoor amenities (dock, canoe, etc are not included), but wading in the water was pleasant. nice walkable neighborhood, and convenient location to get to restaurants & visit colleges. A bit dusty, but overall a nice stay.

Colchester Lake House
Amazing location to everything. This is a unique and lovely home with views galore. A few updates needed for the linen. It’s a lake house- we were lucky to be there in September- very few bugs to bother us. I can recommend this as a comfortable place to stay. AND - dog friendly- but we couldn’t bring our pups.

Life on the Lake
Great location and views with lots of privacy. Well equipped kitchen and home had plenty of space for our family. A few clealiness and supply issues should be addressed for property to be a 5 star.

Lovely home on the water
This house was a wonderful find for our group of 8. The open floor plan was great for social time together and the bedrooms were comfortable and well-appointed, as was the kitchen!

Fun times for UVM graduation
This was a great house for us to stay at to celebrate our son's graduation from UVM. Plenty of room for us, him, aunt & uncle, friend, and dog. We loved the sounds and view of the lake, and found that to be very relaxing. We had a lot of fun playing cards at the big table. The drive into Burlington and UVM was about 20 min, and we had easy access to all the places we wanted to go. We hope to stay here again in the near future.

Lakeside getaway
This property was beautiful inside and out. The water comes right up to the house and you can hear the waves at night which is so peaceful. It was a quiet location and a great amount of space inside. It was very easy to get in contact with somebody when we needed assistance and I would definitely book this property again!

Wonderful rental experience!
I chose this location because it was right on the water, and pet friendly, prerequisites for our vacation choice. The house is beautiful inside; clean, roomy, and perfect for our family size and gathering. We were celebrating my 70th birthday, and it could not have been a more memorable experience. I highly recommend this home and will definitely return in the future. Thank you.

Winter in paradise
This property was truly unmatched. It was spotless when we arrived. It had everything we needed for our week stay. The views of the mountains and lake in combo with the quiet and peaceful neighborhood made it truly serene. We even extended our stay by a night because we were enjoying ourselves so much. The proximity to Burlington and Winooski was perfect. Thank you for making our wedding week an absolute dream come true.

Amazing views and sunsets!
My family stayed here for three weeks while our home was being renovated. The house is amazing, the kitchen/living room was so nice and had clearly been recently updated. We had everything we needed and then some. Towels and linens were provided as well as a cleaning service at the end, which was a huge plus. We loved every moment we were there, some highlights were seeing a bald eagle and the incredible sunsets (and moons) over the lake. I can't comment on the outside, but I'm assuming this house is just as wonderful during the summer as it was during the winter. Would 100% stay again.

Great location…but would not rent from Vacasa again!
We loved the location and floor plan! You could hear the water lapping up against the rocks from inside the home! Poor communication & responses from Vacasa! Parts of house were not clean when we arrived. Ill fitted screen created a gnat infestation & couldn’t get help from Vacasa.

Amazing with a few areas that would have been nicer to experience.
Not having the dock in the water nor access to the boats in the pictures was disappointing. I don’t feel like we got the full “life on the lake” experience. The home was gorgeous and had breathtaking views. The open layout in the kitchen/dining/living room really allowed for quality family time. The instructions about composting was confusing. We collected all food waste but when it was time to put it in the green compost bin we could not locate it. Also, the fan in the master bathroom was not working nor was the crank to open the window.

Life on the Lake is GREAT
The house on Lake Champlain in Colchester VT was perfect for my sisters and husbands to spend a week "leaf Peeping." in Vermont. The house is RIGHT ON THE LAKE. Beautiful views from all angles. We enjoyed having a cup of coffee at the outdoor table, or watching the lake from inside. The kitchen was clean and well-appointed with many dishes, pots and pans, brand new appliances, and lots of space to cook and store everything, Living space was super comfortable, again with great views of the lake. There were ample bedrooms and bathrooms for all of us. Beds were comfortable and lots of nice linens. The location of the house can't be beat for see the sites in Vermont. Some in our party drove to Colchester, some flew to Burlington airport, which is a quick ride to the house. We did some hikes in Stowe (one hour away) and Niquette State Park (10 minutes) and walked the Causeway across the Lake which is really cool.

A great stay for homebodies!
Came to spend time with my sisters and best friends. We had 6 guests in total and we had plenty of room in the house! The kitchen was very clean and large. Plenty of pots, pans and cutlery were available for us to use. The house is in a very quiet area and we only heard the lake splashing along the shoreline (with a BEAUTIFUL view in both the living room and master bedroom). It does get very windy some days but I’d highly recommend this house to anyone who wants a nice, relaxing time with family and friends.
