House holiday rentals in Essex

Matthew’s place was perfect for our family trip. Clean, well-stocked , and comfortable. Plenty of space to spread out and so many thoughtful touches. Truly felt like home while we were there. The sunrises are gorgeous!

We had a great stay at William’s. The location was beautiful and the house was comfortable. We had a great mix of day-tripping and relaxing with a view. We also ran into William and he was very helpful and friendly.

We had an awesome time at this spot. We went with 4 adults and 2 kids and the space was so well equipped for kids and for the group. Awesome location overall too.

Such a great stay. Wonderful place, super well appointed with all the amenities you could ask for. Great location very close to Stowe. Would stay here again in a heartbeat.

We enjoyed our stay at Mott house. From booking to check out everyone involved was very helpful. Pat and Dominic were very responsive to all of our questions. The home is decorated nicely and restored perfectly. We also enjoyed all of the amenities that apple island resort has to offer. We would love to return back for another stay!

As described. Great location / convenient to highway. Owner has dogs - so did find dog hair. Totally get it - I have had dogs and know its pretty impossible to avoid. If you are allergic, may be an issue. Some other minor cleanliness issues - I cleaned their microwave and oven. One of my party members found a random clean sock in their bed (we had a giggle over it, probably just got stuck in the whole laundry situation). Overall, I understand its a house actively lived in and was not discouraged or disappointed in our stay. Internet is stable - was able to work remotely as needed.

I wish I could rate this home 6 stars. It is beautiful, peaceful, private, and surrounded by nature. The two bedrooms are great and very comfortable, and they actually have anything you might need in terms of toiletries. Corey was super responsive and helpful, he quickly answered the few questions that I had. Would absolutely recommend this home to anyone looking for a small getaway.

A perfect few days and one of the best Airbnb's that I ever stayed in. The hot tub, as well as the fully stocked kitchen - the best; and the plunge pool was so refreshing. You really feel that you are floating on the water while sitting on the adirondack chairs overlooking the lake. Everything in this Airbnb was a 10++++++!!!! We will definitely be back. This mini vacation was prelude to a longer on Cape Cod, and it was very painful to leave. Thanks for a little piece of Heaven. Ange

Keith was super responsive and a great host! We came up with our baby for a wedding at the Essex. The amenities at his property were great and the location was 5 minutes from the Essex. His guidebook was excellent with great local recommendations.

Peter’s place was great. House was exactly as advertised, and right on the lake. Plenty of amenities. Short drive (15 minutes) to downtown Burlington. Peter made sure we had everything we needed, and also provided some great info about surrounding areas, i.e. grocery stores, restaurants, etc. Look forward to coming back again!! Dave

This was a last minute trip for a family funeral, and Megan was wonderful to work with, and very accommodating. Her rental was clean, spacious and roomy enough for our family to gather. We appreciated her responsiveness and how well kept the home is. We will look to book this house again the next time we are in Vermont.

Absolutely breathtaking. The views were stunning, the space amazing. As soon as I walked in, I planned my next trip.

Beautiful Vermont retreat. We didn’t want to leave! This home is the perfect blend of rustic charm and modern comfort—peaceful, thoughtfully designed, and surrounded by nature in every direction. The open living space was ideal for gathering, the kitchen was incredibly well-stocked (a rarity in many rentals), and the dining area easily handled our group meals. Loved the hot tub for evening soaks under the stars. We will be back!

We had a wonderful long weekend at Camp Moonshadow, where we met our daughter, who came over from Burlington to spend the weekend with us. It was a very easy ferry drive and short drive for her. It was exactly what we needed - quiet, comfortable and beautiful. We did the short hikes nearby and we cooked in all meals. Kitchen was an absolute joy to cook in - large and open and providing most of what we needed. We enjoyed the fire pit on one of the nights - roasting marshmallows and catching up. Coffee on the patio in the mornings was lovely. Bedrooms were comfortable, and bathrooms squeaky clean and expansive. Host Steven got back to me regarding a few hours early on checkin - much appreciated. This is a quiet neighborhood, and perfect for a restful respite.

Very cute and cozy location! We had a great weekend getaway!

Very convenient, right next to the airport and close to the interstate. Jackie is so nice and checked in with me during my stay to make sure that I had all the supplies I needed. She also had home-baked cookies waiting for me when I arrived which was so sweet. Thanks so much Jackie!!

Errin was very welcoming and responsive. Checked in with is each day of our stay to offer help. We wish we had known about this home while our daughter attended UVM as it would have been great to stay every time we came to visit. Highly recommend.

Fabulous stay. Amazing home that we didn’t want to leave! Loved the kitchen and Sonos surround sound. My 2 kids had a blast playing outside in the snow. Hayden was a great host and has a truly unique place. Would love to see it in the summer!

One of the best homes I’ve rented in Vermont, the home was beautiful, the property was beautiful as well. Would highly recommend having a vehicle to be able to handle the unexpected weather conditions and would highly recommend staying at this home if you’re looking to snowboard/ski or a simple getaway, the ideal home! The host was super thoughtful and responsive as well. Highly recommend!

Wonderful house in an amazing location, secluded with a large deck and a waterfall in back yard, close to groceries, restaurants, coffee, trails and a lake. The house is spacious, full of character, sparkling clean, and well stocked up with food items & toiletries. Truly a hidden gem!

It was our second stay & it was as good as the first! Very clean, comfortable & a peaceful location. Nice upgrade... a hot tub!! Would totally stay again

We loved this house. We were in the area for Middlebury graduation and the house and location were great, 30 mim to Burlington and Middlebury both. Plus, Ken put together a great list of local spots, and we hit many of them--the old brick store, the hen of the wood restaurant in burlington, O bread in Shelburne, etc. Charlotte is a beautiful area. The house is really well done, clean, tasteful, cozy, with a well equipped kitchen. Lovely.

We had a wonderful family trip to the Crowd Nest. The home was beautiful, spotlessly clean, so well stocked, and very comfortable! We loved the location. Bring right on the bay in the frosty winter was so very peaceful. And only 15 minutes to downtown Burlington. Martina was an excellent host - responsive and kind. We would love to return to see the area in the summer!

We stayed here for the Vermont City Marathon weekend. Conveniently located within 10 minutes of the race start/finish and expo! Walkable to a brewery and a few shops. Backyard was great for the dogs!
