Solid Choice

This cottage is extremely comfortable. We stayed here to celebrate Christmas with family and to cook Christmas dinner. The kitchen is well-stocked. My only negative in the kitchen is that there are newer stainless steel appliances - stove, microwave, and refrigerator - but there is a 1980's decrepit old formerly white dishwasher and that does not make sense to me. Bedrooms/beds are great, living room area is awesome, and we enjoyed our stay. The only other negative is that there is a strong mothball odor throughout the house, but mainly in the kitchen area. We saw another review that mentioned this, and SkyRun wrote that they "fixed" it, but the situation is still the same. While we understand that wildlife can get into homes near a lake, there has got to be another solution that isn't the noxious odor of mothballs. Additionally, this odor exacerbates medical problems in anyone with respiratory issues. One member of our party has bad asthma and the mothball smell was not helpful. We would love to enjoy this property in summer weather, and if the mothball situation can be solved, we will look into renting here again. One more comment - SkyRun is responsive and checks in periodically to ensure that the stay is going smoothly, which is great.

This was a great location if you want to explore Burlington! It's only about 15 minutes away. We went to a few recommended (by Sky Run) restaurants and they were fantastic. Also a great spot for staying in Colchester as there were many walking/bike trails nearby. The causeway is a must see and it's within walking distance to the house. The place was clean and had plenty of sleeping room for 4 people. Easy access to get inside. The only negative is that the house smelled very strongly of moth balls. The smell stuck to our coats. Luckily we found fabric freshener and that helped minimize the smell. If the smell doesn't bother you, I highly recommend this space! We had a great stay 🙂

Host's response:

Dear Sara,Thank you for sharing your positive experience at our property. We're thrilled you enjoyed the convenient location, nearby attractions, and found the space clean and spacious.We apologize for the mothball smell; we appreciate your resourcefulness with the fabric freshener. Your feedback is invaluable, and we'll address the issue promptly.We hope to welcome you back for another great stay. Thank you for choosing our space!

Great spot

All good, although they failed to shovel snow and ice off the front walk and rear deck. Issue with the coffee pot but they corrected quickly so we didnt miss our morning cups. Everything was clean, neat, tidy and comfortable.I would stay again on my next visit without hesitation.

skyrun was very responsive and was fast. they accomodated us in short time and was flexible. Their kitchen was complete with utensils and cooking wares. They have entertainment like TV, masters was big. They have a backyard that you can grill. heating system is good. Although our trip was cut 2 days short and I understand the no refund in this place, but it was affordable compared to others so Thanks a lot!

We enjoyed our stay, house was all what listed, very comfortable, spacious, bed was very comfortable. We enjoyed the fire place with view of the water & comfortable hosting family with meals and visits for the holidays. Management was very responsive, helpful & timely in resolving unforeseen problems. We would stay here again on future visits.

My recent stay with my family was more than perfect. The house was very clean and all my questions were answered in a timely manner. Loved watching the sun rise right off the back deck over Lake Champlain . I hope I have the opportunity to rent this fabulous house again. The McKinnon Family

Review

Property was clean and beds were comfy. However the floor was slanting/slopping which is a sign of foundation/structure concerns. Personally I feel the price per night was too high for this property.

Host's response:

Thank you for your stay at our property. The floors do slope but it a cottage by the lake and many do slope so close to the lake. We take pride in ensuring our guests are satisfied and are happy you enjoyed your stay! Kind Regards, SkyRun Vermont

Great Location for Biking

Had a few days during the week for a quick trip to Vermont. We stayed in this clean comfortable cottage about 400 yards from the lake and about 1/8 of a mile from the Colchester bike path and the Causeway that takes you over the lake to The Champlain Islands. The house is well equipped, wonderful deck to enjoy and very comfortable beds.

Comes as advertised. Clean house with updated kitchen. View of lake is mostly obscured by property in front of the viewing deck. Biked the causeway twice. No complaints from me but probably a little too expensive per night for the property.

House is exactly as advertised (though agree with previous reviewers that it does feel much bigger - especially the main room). The path across the lake is so close if your weather cooperates. Even in a snowstorm, the roads were plowed in a timely manner and we had no trouble getting in and out! Master Bedroom had charging cable ready. Check in and out was simple and contactless.

Great little cabin. Visiting our son at UVM and this worked out perfect. *Note-The picture of the water isnt necessarily what you see at the house. You have to walk a little to get to the water.
