Burlington Walkabout Peaceful City Retreat-Walk to EVERYTHING downtown.

You will love this completely remodeled, late 1800's duplex. We have full time tenant/caretakers in the front apt, with the short term rental in the back of the house. It's a luxurious suite, with all the amenities for a relaxing, delightful stay in Burlington! Uniquely situated with a private covered deck and off street parking. This is a one bedroom, one bath efficiency apartment. The open living space has a full galley kitchen & stackable washer/dryer. A high efficiency cold climate heat pump heats and cools the unit. There is a natural gas firplace for ambiance and extreme cold weather provides heat back up to the heat pump system. A very high quality queen sofa sleeper ( Note: NO cross bar ) sleeps 2 for additional guests, maximum 4. The apt comfortably sleeps 4, but the space is small. NO MORE THAN 4 PEOPLE ALLOWED, STRICT FIRE CODE.
NO PARTIES ALLOWED, NO EXCEPTIONS. The 3 season covered porch adds more space to move about and relax, with a sofa, chairs and table. The very large porch windows give you a sense of being outside, with privacy shades-a great place to take an afternoon nap during warmer weather. There is a private, fenced in yard, shared with our on-site tenants/caretakers who live in the front apt. Please respect their space-there is a separate table and chairs near the porch for your use, the rest of the yard/furniture belongs to the full time tenants. PLEASE NOTE: Both apartments have separate, private entrances. You will enter your apt at the rear of the house, through the back yard gated entrance. The SIDE PORCH BELONGS TO THE FRONT APT NOT THE SHORT TERM RENTAL. We've included many nice touches like organic bed linens, marble kitchen countertops, subway tiled shower, heated bathroom and kitchen floors for cooler weather comfort. Included also is a high quality Nikken Air Wellness filtration system-making the "Burlington Walkabout" truly a health and wellness retreat. You have off street parking for max. 2 vehicles. Parking on the right side of the driveway on the cobblestone ( The left side of driveway is the caretakers parking )

There were many thoughtful touches in the apartment from snacks, coffee, and seltzers, to USB plugs and a Roku. The location is great and we were able to walk many places that we wanted to visit. Lake Champlain is stunning! Communication and instructions were fabulous.Our only issue, which had nothing to do with the apartment, but rather Burlington itself. We were unaware that the drug/ homeless problem was so out of control. One morning while walking home from the YMCA, we encountered a young man preparing to shoot up in daylight on a busy street. Not what we expected at 10 AM on a Saturday. We also saw many discarded needles on the paved trail near the water and witnessed drug deals taking place. While we felt safe enough during the day, we opted to be home in the evenings to err on the side of caution. Many years ago, I had considered attending UVM, so its current state was quite disheartening.

Super cozy and convenient!

Loved staying at Laurie and Mark's place! Had a lot of thoughtful touches and amenities (including snacks). Felt quite modern, very clean, and spacious for the 2 of us. Location is also super convenient as advertised and only a few minutes walk to both downtown and the waterfront. Communication was also easy as hosts are very responsive. Highly recommended!

Quiet downtown Haven

The property is lovely and well maintained . We met the caretaker, living in the front part of the house and he was very helpful and pleasant. The apartment has very nice Furniture, lighting, and Kitchen. I will try to stay there again in the future. It's not a large apartment but it was very comfortable for me and my husband.

We were in town for our son‘s graduation and needed a place to crash for four people. The pullout couch was extremely comfortable. The apartment is cozy and comfortable.… Not huge, but it was perfect for what we needed. Downtown Burlington is just steps away. Would definitely stay here again.

Outstanding place in Burly

My wife and I have been visiting Burlington for the past 25 years, whether it be the marathon, our daughter's soccer games at UVM or to visit a venue for a concert, etc. In all that time, we have never stayed over night as there is family nearby as well as a condo at Jaypeak that we own. This place was perfect. The owners took great care to stock the 400 square foot place with almost everything one could need. The kitchen is understandably small but well stocked with cooking items, some necessary spices, as well as a full sized fridge. The bathroom has soap, shampoo, etc. available, as well as the tub being shaped at the top that if one took a bath, you could lean back and feel comfortable. My wife fell in love with the shower head and attached water wand, as well as the hair turbans. It was too cold to take advantage of the quaint back porch, but hopefully we will during warmer weather. The living room area had a great gas fireplace and large television to watch the NCAA games. Although we did not spend a lot of time at the place, when we came home from the Sarah Potter concert at the Flynn or enjoying nights out in town, it was cozy and comfortable. The hosts were in touch and all went well. The place in walking distance of most anything in the heart of Burlington. We will be going back again.
