About this property

Causeway Cottage: Lake Beach & NY Biking Ferry

Year-round cottage on Lake Champlain, on Mills Point, located at the entrance to The Colchester Causeway and Colchester/Burlington bike path.  Bike, walk or cross country ski around the beautiful shores of Lake Champlain.  It is located in a quiet community just a block off the lake and is a 10-minute drive to downtown Burlington and area colleges. NEW UPDATES in 2022: New Vanity in Bathroom, AND screens on all Windows! Basement sealed to fix musty odor when it rains. 

This cozy cottage has an updated fully equipped kitchen and radiant floor heating in the living room. The Master bedroom has a new comfortable king bed and walk-in closet. The second bedroom has a brand new queen bed and the sunroom has a twin bed.

Large outdoor deck with Adirondack chairs and firepit to relax after a busy day of hiking, biking fishing, or boating in Mallets Bay. 

For winter renters, the ski areas are between 40 minutes and 1 hour and 30 minutes away. The most easily accessed areas are Bolton Valley (40 min), Stowe(1:20), and Sugarbush (1:20). Smuggler’s and Jay Pike are also easy 1 to 1:30 drive.
Note: The home has a window AC unit that helps keep the whole house cool, but it's not central air and not in every bedroom. It makes hot days comfortable, though it won't get as cold as central AC.

This was a last minute booking as we had already arrived in the Burlington area and stayed one night in a local hotel and suites. This was the perfect spot after a day of exploring what the area had to offer and Vermont itself. It was truly a home away from home. The furnishings and accessibility to what the owners provided felt more like staying at a family members cottage than a basic rental property. Thank you for such a great retreat!Jason and Jenni

Quiet retreat

We enjoyed the close proximity to the bike trails and the lake. The property was clean and offered all that we needed for a weekend stay. The kitchen was well-equipped, and there were grocery stores not far away. We appreciated the easy access to Burlington, but we were happy to come back to the quiet cabin in the evening.

Nice location

Great location being close walking distance to the causeway! Well stocked kitchen and toiletries, with everything you need. The place was clean, not super clean (there was still trash in the can and a strong smell of moth balls and insecticide). It was okay from a clean perspective upon arrival, could have been better.

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 didn’t miss our morning cups. Everything was clean, neat, tidy and comfortable. I would stay again on my next visit without hesitation.

The cottage was very conveniently located for our weekend - near the lake, but also an easy drive to Burlington and Shelburne. There was plenty of room for our family of 4. The surroundings are shady, so there is some dampness (marsh nearby). The deck and outdoor grill were great to use. The causeway was very close and was a nice place to walk or bike and view birds out in the marsh. We had a little issue with getting the door code when we first arrived, but called and got it sorted (the check-in email sent a code that didn't work). We also were somewhat confused as to whether we could access the water from Marsh lane because it appears to go through someone else's yard, but I apparently didn't read close enough on the check-in email (it does list water access places). I think the kids would have enjoyed it more if they could just go splash around and check out the shore without feeling like they were on the neighbor's beach. We used a public beach down the road instead.

Thank you for the thoughtful review! We’re glad the cottage worked well for your family and that you enjoyed the deck, grill, and nearby walking areas. Apologies for the door code mix-up, and we appreciate your patience in getting it sorted. We’ll make sure the water access details are clearer for future guests, and we hope the public beach worked out for your kids. We’d love to host you again!

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.

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.

Good location needs some attention

Location and cleanliness are the positive points. But this place needs lots of attention. First the main entrance door handle was so loose I had to find a screwdriver and tighten. The trim around the floors and bathroom are poor or non existent. No closet doors in bedrooms. No mirror in one bedroom. Oddly chosen interior decor. Very small pictures. Exposed nails and screws where pictures were once hung?? Kitchen faucet was extremely loose as well. For the price of this place it desperately needs a little attention especially to all the small things. And we were there first week of April. You would assume the winter months are when these types of repairs should be done.
