Stay in Colchester Vt

Colchester is a beautiful area with lots of trails, hiking, biking etc. The house was well-kept with minor issues. A busy road separates the house from the beach. All things considered it was a good stay.

Perfect UVM graduation stay

Sweet cottage close to UVM & downtown Burlington & Winooski with parking. We spent only late evenings at the cottage but beds were comfortable. It rained all weekend so we couldn’t take advantage of all of the other amenities.
