Hillside Haven – Modern Lakeview Cottage on Malletts Bay

Welcome to Hillside Haven, a thoughtfully renovated modern cottage overlooking beautiful Malletts Bay. Set just one road up from the shoreline, this peaceful retreat offers lake views, fresh air, and a relaxed Vermont feel—perfect in every season.

[Summer at the Lake]
Spend long summer days enjoying Malletts Bay and warm evenings on the spacious deck overlooking the water. Fire up the grill, spread out for lawn games on the quarter-acre of green space, or head down to the lake for swimming, boating, and sunset watching. The nearby bike path—directly behind the property—makes it easy to walk, run, or bike along the bay.

[Fall Foliage Escape]
Autumn brings crisp air, blazing foliage, and some of Vermont’s most beautiful scenery. Cozy up on the deck with a blanket and coffee, explore nearby trails, or take scenic drives through the Champlain Valley and beyond. Hillside Haven is perfectly located for leaf-peeping, farmers markets, and harvest season adventures.

[Winter Cozy Retreat]
In winter, Hillside Haven becomes a warm, inviting hideaway. Light the gas fireplace, curl up with a book, and enjoy the quiet beauty of snow-covered Malletts Bay. With Burlington just 15 minutes away and Stowe about an hour’s drive, you’re close to dining, shopping, winter festivals, and skiing—yet tucked away in a peaceful lakeside setting.

[Location Highlights]

• Lake views of Malletts Bay
• Public bike path directly behind the property
• 15 minutes to downtown Burlington (restaurants, shopping, waterfront)
• About 1 hour to Stowe
• Central, year-round Vermont location

Whether you’re planning sun-filled lake days, a fall foliage getaway, or a cozy winter retreat by the fire, Hillside Haven offers a calm, stylish home base to experience Vermont at its best—any time of year.

Clean, comfortable, recommended

We were very comfortable here. The cottage is a newly renovated older building, well done. Neutral colors, attractive, clean, no clutter. Appliances are new, including laundry, but we used only the dishwasher. The owner let us store our bicycles in the garage, very helpful. I highly recommend bicycling in the area. I particularly appreciated a small desk, which I used for a jigsaw puzzle. Ask for specific instructions on using the electronic lock. It is unlike any other we have used. There is a rule about the dishwasher needing to be empty on checkout. Be aware, because you might want to leave before the cycle finishes. There were a few minor quirks. The clocks had no batteries, the pilot light was out in the gas "wood" stove. I think this is a new rental and they just need experience.
