For winter season, we suggest one or two space heaters for bedrooms/bathroom. The older Monitor-styleheater is very noisy, had to turn it off to sleep at night.Front steps were icy, no salt or sand available.No coffee or tea.

Wonderful location

This is a wonderful location near the Causeway and access to the lake while very quiet neighborhood. The property was clean and ready for use. The smaller bedroom has an awkward access to the bathroom limiting privacy. Great for a couple.

Nice location, smoke odor

Unique and eclectic property that the owner has clearly put a lot of thought into and located in a great place. Unfortunately, despite it being listed as non-smoking clearly past occupants had used it for this and the unit smelled, smoke odor permeated everything.

Perfect location and a comfy bed

I spent three nights here because of the proximity to the bike path and wasn’t disappointed. It’s a cute summer getaway neighborhood. The bed was comfortable, AC worked great, relaxing sun room when the weather cooled, bonus that there was a guitar.Burlington is half hour bike ride south down the path, and heading north takes you to the bike ferry to the island, which is how I spent one day.It’s an old summer cottage so once you adjust your expectations, it’s great. There was no smoke smell or anything like that like someone reviewed. Definitely recommend this place.

Great Spot!

My wife and I enjoyed our stay at Albert's place. It was very clean, and well-stocked from the kitchen, to the bedroom and bathroom. The location (steps from the Colchester Causeway and bike path into Burlington) was perfect. We did have one small issue with the house that Albert took care of pronto. Great house with a great owner, I highly recommend this property.
