About this property
Little City Big Heart
Picture this: you pull up to a quiet street in Vergennes — Vermont's smallest and oldest city — and step into a home that's ready for the whole crew. The kitchen, dining, and living room flow together in one open space, so nobody's stuck cooking alone while everyone else hangs out. On cool evenings from fall through spring, the gas fireplace crackles while the kids disappear downstairs into their own playroom, toys and all, giving the adults a little breathing room upstairs.
When it's time to turn in, there's a bed for everyone: a queen with its own attached bathroom, a queen plus a crib for the littlest guest, a full bed, two twins for siblings or friends sharing a room, and one more full bed on the main floor for anyone who'd rather skip the stairs. Five bedrooms in all, so nobody's sleeping on a couch.
Step outside and the evening shifts gears — an outdoor kitchen and firepit means dinner and s'mores can both happen right in the backyard, no one stuck indoors while the rest of the group enjoys the fresh air.
And then there's the location: leave the car in the driveway and just walk. Downtown Vergennes is a few minutes on foot — historic Main Street shops, restaurants, the Opera House, and Otter Creek Falls tumbling right through the middle of town. Lake Champlain, Button Bay State Park, and the Maritime Museum are all a short drive away if you want to venture further, but honestly, you might not want to leave the neighborhood at all.
It's the kind of place where cousins reunite, parents actually relax, and everyone goes home already planning the next trip. **The garage and the shed are NOT available for use.**
Our Home has an attached garage and a shed in the backyard- these are both off limits and not part of the rental use.
We are very flexible and easy to contact by cell
We live in a quiet neighborhood with great neighbors all around us- please just be considerate of them also
Our home is just a short walk into the heart of the city-Because we are a small city our Uber and Taxi staff are pretty slim but we do have them
We do have a nest doorbell on the front porch
During snowy weather, the road will be plowed and walkways shoveled. Because the house sits behind an open field, drifting snow is possible. A snow shovel is available (outside on the porch), along with a bucket of sand/salt for icy walkways. Please use caution on snowy or icy surfaces — access and use are at your own risk.

Great area to visit and see a beautiful part of Vermont. We enjoyed our stay and the house had everything we needed and plenty of room. The back deck was particularly nice.
Everything was very good but the kitchen supplies and all the spices really made it a very nice place to cook, etc. We really enjoyed our stay. Thank you so much.
My family has stayed here before when visiting Vergennes and we liked it so much I immediately thought of it when co-workers were coming to Vergennes to stay the week on a business trip. They all found it comfortable and welcoming and enjoyed the house very much. We would certainly stay here again!
We had the best stay at Tammie’s home. The house was beautiful and very clean. It was exactly what we were looking for for our weekend in Vermont. Tammie was great to communicate with and made us feel welcome in her home. Would absolutely stay again next time we are in the area.
While it was a quick weekend trip, the welcoming home made it very relaxing. Plenty of space inside and bedrooms for everyone, but also a great patio and front porch to enjoy as well. In the lead up to our stay, Tammie was also very communicative making it stress free. Hope to enjoy again!
Our stay was a combination of visiting colleges and catching a little skiing time, and the house was the perfect place to rest in between. Very clean, tons of room, a well-equipped kitchen, gas fireplace, and comfortable beds made for relaxing evenings. Highly recommended!
We had a great stay at Tammie's property, a lot of amenities and personal touches that made us feel welcome! Great location for a mixed group of skiers/non-skiers where some folks spent time in Burlington while others skied at the Sugarbush area. Highly recommend!

Great space
We stayed with friends for a week at this home. The living area was spacious. We loved the fire pit on the back patio. The host was very kind and accommodating - she made sure we were comfortable. Overall, it was a great trip!
We had a wonderful and relaxed stay at Tammie's house. Perfectly appointed and spacious, every detail attended to. Highly recommended. Also very handy to nearby towns, and terrific options for take out. Charming altogether.

Thank you so much- we glad you were able to get together and make wonderful memories!!
We were in the area for a weekend wedding. This house was perfect for my family. While we didn't spend much time at the house, when we did it was quite comfortable and fully stocked. We would return!
Tamie was an excellent host, from sight seeing suggestion to dining experience.. Spotless home, with comfy beds. plenty of linens and even spices in the cupboards. I wouldn't hesitate to book again.. This is a true find in the VRBO category !!

Your host
As a local, family-run host, we love welcoming guests. We handle every detail, so you can focus on what matters most — making memories with the people you love.
Why they chose this property
Located in a quiet, friendly residential area of Vergennes — Vermont’s smallest and oldest city (chartered in 1766) — just a short walk from downtown. Stroll into the historic Main Street district for locally owned shops, restaurants, and the Vergennes Opera House, or follow the path to Otter Creek Falls, a dramatic waterfall right in the center of town. Lake Champlain, Button Bay State Park, and the Lake Champlain Maritime Museum are all a short drive away. It’s small-town charm with real things to do — walkable, welcoming, and easy to explore.
What makes this property unique
Sleeps 8 across 5 cozy bedrooms, steps from downtown. Gas fireplace inside, outdoor fireplace and grill station. Kid-ready (crib, high chair, playroom) so the whole family can actually relax.
Big enough for everyone. Charming enough to feel like home. 💛
