House holiday rentals in Essex

Matthew’s place was perfect for our family trip. Clean, well-stocked , and comfortable. Plenty of space to spread out and so many thoughtful touches. Truly felt like home while we were there. The sunrises are gorgeous!

Our stay was absolutely magical - from the clean, comfortable, stylishly well appointed home to the gorgeous surroundings, we loved every moment. David was also wonderful, gave clear instructions and was very responsive. 11/10 would recommend - we can't wait to visit again!

We had a great stay at William’s. The location was beautiful and the house was comfortable. We had a great mix of day-tripping and relaxing with a view. We also ran into William and he was very helpful and friendly.

We had an awesome time at this spot. We went with 4 adults and 2 kids and the space was so well equipped for kids and for the group. Awesome location overall too.

Such a great stay. Wonderful place, super well appointed with all the amenities you could ask for. Great location very close to Stowe. Would stay here again in a heartbeat.

Our stay was great at this home. It was a charming home with modern decor. The home was perfect for our family of 4 and my parents. The location was also perfect for us as we wanted proximity to skiing and to family who live in the area. Lots of good space in the home with the two living rooms. The bedding and towels provided were of good quality and the kitchen appeared to be well stocked. We only really ate breakfast in the home but we had all we needed. I would definitely stay there again.

We enjoyed our stay at Mott house. From booking to check out everyone involved was very helpful. Pat and Dominic were very responsive to all of our questions. The home is decorated nicely and restored perfectly. We also enjoyed all of the amenities that apple island resort has to offer. We would love to return back for another stay!

As described. Great location / convenient to highway. Owner has dogs - so did find dog hair. Totally get it - I have had dogs and know its pretty impossible to avoid. If you are allergic, may be an issue. Some other minor cleanliness issues - I cleaned their microwave and oven. One of my party members found a random clean sock in their bed (we had a giggle over it, probably just got stuck in the whole laundry situation). Overall, I understand its a house actively lived in and was not discouraged or disappointed in our stay. Internet is stable - was able to work remotely as needed.

Keith was super responsive and a great host! We came up with our baby for a wedding at the Essex. The amenities at his property were great and the location was 5 minutes from the Essex. His guidebook was excellent with great local recommendations.

Absolutely breathtaking. The views were stunning, the space amazing. As soon as I walked in, I planned my next trip.

Great little secluded place for a quiet, relaxing time, but also very close to Stowe and a number of great shops and restaurants. Joe was very responsive and actually brought me a water hose so I could fill my cold plunge. I enjoyed my stay and would recommend to others looking to unwind.

Beautiful Vermont retreat. We didn’t want to leave! This home is the perfect blend of rustic charm and modern comfort—peaceful, thoughtfully designed, and surrounded by nature in every direction. The open living space was ideal for gathering, the kitchen was incredibly well-stocked (a rarity in many rentals), and the dining area easily handled our group meals. Loved the hot tub for evening soaks under the stars. We will be back!

We had a wonderful long weekend at Camp Moonshadow, where we met our daughter, who came over from Burlington to spend the weekend with us. It was a very easy ferry drive and short drive for her. It was exactly what we needed - quiet, comfortable and beautiful. We did the short hikes nearby and we cooked in all meals. Kitchen was an absolute joy to cook in - large and open and providing most of what we needed. We enjoyed the fire pit on one of the nights - roasting marshmallows and catching up. Coffee on the patio in the mornings was lovely. Bedrooms were comfortable, and bathrooms squeaky clean and expansive. Host Steven got back to me regarding a few hours early on checkin - much appreciated. This is a quiet neighborhood, and perfect for a restful respite.

Very cute and cozy location! We had a great weekend getaway!

Very convenient, right next to the airport and close to the interstate. Jackie is so nice and checked in with me during my stay to make sure that I had all the supplies I needed. She also had home-baked cookies waiting for me when I arrived which was so sweet. Thanks so much Jackie!!

This was our 3rd stay on Metcalf Pond but our first at Loonshead. The camp is very clean and comfortable; its location right on the water, among the mountains, is incredible. The drives to the area small towns and sites are peaceful and gorgeous. It's truly a privilege to be able to spend time on the Pond. We very much look forward to returning.

Errin was very welcoming and responsive. Checked in with is each day of our stay to offer help. We wish we had known about this home while our daughter attended UVM as it would have been great to stay every time we came to visit. Highly recommend.

Fabulous stay. Amazing home that we didn’t want to leave! Loved the kitchen and Sonos surround sound. My 2 kids had a blast playing outside in the snow. Hayden was a great host and has a truly unique place. Would love to see it in the summer!

The place was lovely!- clean, spacious and homey! We loved cooking and watching tv while we weren’t exploring Burlington. Krystal was very clear and helpful!

Peter’s place was great. House was exactly as advertised, and right on the lake. Plenty of amenities. Short drive (15 minutes) to downtown Burlington. Peter made sure we had everything we needed, and also provided some great info about surrounding areas, i.e. grocery stores, restaurants, etc. Look forward to coming back again!! Dave

Wonderful house in an amazing location, secluded with a large deck and a waterfall in back yard, close to groceries, restaurants, coffee, trails and a lake. The house is spacious, full of character, sparkling clean, and well stocked up with food items & toiletries. Truly a hidden gem!

It was our second stay & it was as good as the first! Very clean, comfortable & a peaceful location. Nice upgrade... a hot tub!! Would totally stay again

Amanda was very accommodating to our last minute changes with check in and even let us extend our stay without any issues. The area was really peaceful and quiet through both the day and night time.

We had a wonderful family trip to the Crowd Nest. The home was beautiful, spotlessly clean, so well stocked, and very comfortable! We loved the location. Bring right on the bay in the frosty winter was so very peaceful. And only 15 minutes to downtown Burlington. Martina was an excellent host - responsive and kind. We would love to return to see the area in the summer!
