About this property

MONKTON LIBRARY COTTAGE

This Monkton, Vermont library cottage was once home to adventures, fairy tales, comics, mysteries and fiction. It has recently been transformed into a welcoming space for travelers to call their home away from home. Very centrally located between Burlington and Middlebury, within walking distance to the new Monkton Town Library and Chocolate Store. Enjoy breathtaking sunrises over Camel's Hump and sunsets over the Adirondacks. Within a short drive, 15 mins. to local restaurants, hikes, fishing, rivers, skiing (Middlebury Snow Bowl, Sugarbush, Mad River Glen, and Bolton Valley), and mountain biking. We are eco-friendly and are mindful of our carbon footprint that we will leave behind.

The cottage is like staying in a home, not a typical rental. Comfortable furniture, bed and pillows, good linens and towels, and the most well-supplied kitchen I have seen in a rental. Everything is clean and maintained. Though just off a busy road, it is quiet in the house. Well-located for visiting nearby towns. Food not far away. I felt safe and enjoyed my stay.

Monkton Ridge cottage

This cozy cottage was a perfect size for us and our teenage daughter to stay over UVM parents weekend. It had a brand new shower, comfortable chairs and a clean modern kitchen. A sliding barn door separates the one bedroom from the rest of the cottage. The cottage was right off main road in a sleepy hamlet.

Home away from home

Had to be in Burlington, VT to help our daughter with moving into UVM and chose the cottage as is was close enough to college but still felt out in the country. We stayed 4 days and loved the cottage, the location and the neighborhood. Nina has thought of everything you would need, we didn’t want for anything. Fully furnished kitchen, wonderful shower, cozy bedroom. Parking was convenient (located outside the cottage) and there was great information in the cottage recommending what to see, where to eat, how to get there. Highly recommend and plan to return. Compliments to Nina on the property and how easy it was to communicate with her.

Pleasant stay

My partner and I very much enjoyed our stay here! The place was clean, well-kept, and cozy. The living room was comfortable and homey. The bathroom was very clean and neat, though we were only given about half a roll of toilet paper and no extra. The main bedroom was small but relaxing. We didn't realize the main bed was a double (our fault!) so it was a little tight but not uncomfortable at all. Nina was an excellent host who responded quickly and gave clear instructions. Check-in instructions arrived late due to technical issues (no fault of the host) but was quickly resolved. Overall my partner and I would be happy to stay here and have Nina as our host again!

The cottage was perfect for our first two nights in Vermont. It has everything you need for a comfortable stay. It was delightful to be across the street from a wonderful thrift store and next to a chocolate shop. Monkton was a nice location for day trips. We enjoyed the orchards, covered bridges, the Green Mountain loop and the beautiful Lincoln Peak Winery. I loved the spirit of the library that lives on in a bookshelf filled with books, something for everyone.

Clean and comfy. Great communication with owner. FYI the bed linens for the pullout sofa were hard to find. (They're in the brown crates that act as side tables.)

The Monkton Library Cottage was appointed and located perfectly for our 3 week stay while visiting younger family members nearby. We were able to cook simple meals and had our own space to relax in peace. The grocery store and laundromat in nearby Hinesburg was easy to find and use. Our host, Nina, was available and very responsive. We'd stay at the Monkton Library Cottage again without hesitation.

This cozy cottage was the perfect getaway for us. The kitchen was well-stocked with cookware, dishes, and utensils for cooking our own meals. Everything is very new and in great condition, and the A/C worked well in the July heat. The location is perfect for enjoying nature, while still being a short drive from Burlington and lots of great food and drink options.

private and charming

We had a flat tire our first morning at the cottage and several locals were very helpful in guiding us to where to get it repaired. The property manager was very responsive to questions. The cottage was very attractively decorated, the bed and sofa were very comfortable and the heating system worked very quickly.

Thanksgiving Getaway

We loved staying at this cottage! Perfect for the two of us, while we visited our daughter who couldn’t come home for her Thanksgiving break from UVM. The furnishings, and decor were perfect and we were able to come back at the end of the day to a warm and cozy place!! We will definitely return!
