Visit Lake Champlain

Prepare yourself–if you haven’t seen the absolute natural wonder that is Vermont, then you’ll find the Green Mountains dazzle no matter the time of year you visit. Of course the fall show is Vermont at its best, with shades of yellow, orange, and red dancing in the breeze. Lake Champlain serves up year-round fun, with kayaking, boating, and swimming to leaf peeping to snowshoeing. The towns of Burlington, Colchester, and Shelburne serve up idyllic New England charm with shopping, a hopping craft brew scene, and of course nature’s playground. Adventure and relaxation awaits!

Let's Talk!

Burlington

Soak in New England charm that infuses Burlington with natural beauty and plenty to do. Stroll Church Street Marketplace and ditch the car–this is a pedestrian-only shopping haven with more than 100 stores and 30 eateries. Get outside and explore the Green Mountain State along the Burlington Bike Path. Add in stops like the ECHO Leahy Center and Flynn Center for the Performing Arts and you’ll see why Burlington has it all. 

Shelburne

Shelburne oozes quintessential Vermont vibes from its Village Historic District to
Shelburne Orchards, where fall puts on its full display. Shelburne Museum houses one of the US’ largest collections of folk art and the town hosts multiple parks and a bustling craft brew scene.

Colchester

Take in a movie, but with a nostalgic twist at Colchester’s Sunset Drive-In Theatre. Malletts Bay lets locals and visitors access Lake Champlain for swimming, fishing, kayaking, and more. History aficionados will love walking the halls of the Colchester Historical Society Museum and when you’re ready to wind down from the fun, get to know the town’s hopping craft brew scene.

Lake Champlain

Boat, kayak, canoe, fish, and more on Lake Champlain. Colchester Point State Park offers the ideal beach point to amp up your stay and ferry rides to Fort Ticonderoga give the history buffs their fix. You can even hike part of the Appalachian Trail along parts of the lake. Relax after a hard day of play on the water at one of the area’s wineries and breweries.

Tasting Vermont

Make no mistake–Vermont means business when it comes to food. A different kind of hike awaits you on the Vermont Cheese Trail where cheddars are more plentiful than trees. Curb your sweet tooth with a tour of the Ben & Jerry’s Factory and check off a stop to this iconic Vermont creamery. Depending on the time of year you’re in town, visit 

Shopping

This area of Lake Champlain caters to every shopping need. From big box stores to local boutiques, Colchester, Shelburne, and Burlington’s offerings make sure your bags aren’t empty. Stroll Burlington’s Church Street Marketplace and take home one-of-a-kind goods from the small shops and boutiques or pop into Shelburne’s local boutiques and experience small-town Vermont from a retail point-of-view. 

Spas

After a day on the water or hiking the mountains, ease those aching muscles and treat yourself to a day of pampering at one of the many luxury spas in the area, offering everything from Thai massage to body treatments with an ecological-friendly spin. Area spas swerve up extensive spa menus that allow you to customize your bliss. 

Skiing and Snowshoeing

When the snow falls, this area around Lake Champlain begs you to strap on the snowshoes or cross country skis to explore the Vermont wilderness up close. Find the Intervale Center Nordic Trails right outside Burlington for free cross-country skiing or visit Colchester’s Sleepy Hollow Ski and Bike Center for 35 km of trails. If you want to hit the slopes, Bolton Valley Resort is a short 25 minute drive from Bulrlington and entices skiers and snowboarders with its trail variety and night skiing. 

Snowmobiling

Winter thrill seekers–you’ve come to the right place. Sail across the powder when you rent a snowmobile to weave through the Vermont landscape. Guided tours in and around Lake Champlain are the perfect and safe way to explore this slice of New England. 

Golfing

Champlain Valley vistas? Piney mountains? A chance to perfect your game? Check, check, and check when you book a tee time at one of the golf courses around Burlington, Shelburne, or Colchester. Check out The Links at Lang Farm, a public course consistently rated one of Vermont’s top golfing destinations. Shelburne’s Kwiniaska Golf Club tees up Green Mountain views.  

Hiking and Biking

It’s not just the water that draws outdoor lovers to Lake Champlain. The hiking and biking are world-class. Ditch the technology and commune with nature along the Burlington Bike Path or Colchester Causeway Trail–perfect for a leisurely stroll or ride around the lake. Hit Ethan Allen Park for more vigorous rides and reward yourself with views of the Adirondacks from the top of Ethan Allen Tower. Red Rocks Park is another top spot for its variety of trails and stunning panoramas. Colchester’s Niquette Bay State Park has it all–easy to challenging trails, lake access, and nature for days. 

Fishing and Boating

Every season finds the fish biting in Lake Champlain.  The bass are biting here–and not just the little guys. Think mount on your wall trophy-sized fish here. Trout, walleye, Atlantic salmon, and Northern pike also thrive in these waters. Winter means ice fishing and check out local charters that can take you to the best spots. 

Fall for Lake Champlain

When the temps dip, the leaves put on their best gold, red, and orange show. Come and hike Lake Champlain and let autumn delight all of your sense or book a leaf peeping tour to savor everything fall in New England offers.

In most cases, guests will access a property via a lockbox or smart lock using the given access code. Early check-ins can only be confirmed on the day of arrival.

Guests must depart the property by the check-out time unless a late checkout has been coordinated and confirmed with the SkyRun office. Late check-outs must be coordinated directly with the SkyRun office no later than 9 am on the day of departure; please note that if we have an incoming guest we will not be able to accommodate a late checkout.  We ask that guests remove major trash from the unit, return the furniture to its original location, and load and run the dishwasher.

Property Damage Waiver

Should the cost of the damage exceed $1,500 or does not meet the criteria for a “covered loss”, and the property owner’s insurance policy also does not cover the loss, then you shall be responsible for the full amount of the damage which will be charged to the credit card on file.  Coverage is provided to you and all travelling companions that are staying in the home overnight during your stay.

Coverage is not provided for loss due to:

  • Your intentional acts or gross negligence.
  • Any damage that occurs if you are in violation of the terms and conditions (including but not limited to having more than maximum occupancy or having a party).
  • Loss, theft or damage to any personal effects owned by you or brought on the covered stay by you.
  • Loss, theft or damage caused by any person other than you or your traveling companions with whom you share the property reservation unless substantiated by a police report.
Your Duties in the Event of Damage. You must:
  • Take all reasonable, necessary steps to protect the property and prevent further damage to it.
  • Report the loss in writing (email ok) prior to check-out to the SkyRun staff.

Our past experiences had us on edge, considering selling our property. However, SkyRun, particularly Rachel, transformed our experience. She not only secured our Airbnb listing but also maximized our rental income by strategically marketing our three condos for special events.

Lake Champlain Frequently Asked Questions

SkyRun provides photos, maps, amenity details and reviews about the property you will be renting. Our staff has first-hand knowledge of each property, so don't hesitate to call us if you have any questions.

You can rent any of our properties by booking directly on this website using a credit card or you can call to book a reservation if you would like to speak with a vacation planner.
When you book, 1/3 of your total reservation cost, or a minimum of $300, is charged as a non-refundable deposit to secure your rental. Thirty days before your arrival, the remaining amount is due. At this time, the credit card we have on file will be automatically charged for the balance. You may cancel for a full, no-questions-asked refund up to 14 days before your arrival. After that, your payment becomes non-refundable. (See travel insurance above for exceptions).

We provide everything you expect from a fine hotel, and then some. Our rentals come fully furnished, including TVs, high-speed internet, linens and towels, a microwave, dishes, pots, pans, and other kitchen essentials.  We provide supplies such as shampoo, conditioner, tissues, paper towels, dishwasher detergent, soaps, trash bags, etc.  Refer to individual listings to see more amenity information, and please contact us directly if you still have questions.

When you book directly with SkyRun you avoid paying service fees you might incur with traditional listing channels, such as Airbnb. Our prices are competitive with rent-from-owner rates, but we offer professional service, optional travel insurance, and immediate on-site assistance should the need arise.  In addition, we offer exclusive discounts from local businesses, available only to SkyRun guests.

For most properties, SkyRun utilizes a convenient keypad lock system which allows you to enter your vacation rental using a personalized access code, as opposed to having to pick up a key and worrying about keeping track of it during your stay and returning it afterwards. This also saves you the trouble of coming to a check-in center beforehand. Your welcome packet will be in your rental upon arrival, and our staff is always only a phone call away if questions arise.

Travel insurance is an optional addition to your total rental charges. It is offered on our reservation form at the time of booking. It is also usually offered at the time of booking when you book with a 3rd party booking site. You may also add travel insurance to your reservation within 48 hours of booking. The cost of travel insurance varies and is usually between 7%-9.5% of your total reservation cost, depending on the coverage type.  If you do not have travel insurance, you cannot cancel your reservation for any reason.  If you have travel insurance and need to cancel or make a claim, refer to your specific policy.

SkyRun includes a property damage protection waiver on each reservation. Coverage is provided to you and all traveling companions who are staying in the home overnight during your stay.

  • No parties that exceed the number of people the property sleeps are allowed in the rental at any time.
