Plan a weekend away, visit loved ones for the holidays, or settle in for a longer lakeside escape. Fully equipped kitchens give you the freedom to enjoy a relaxed meal in your suite before heading out to explore.
Spend an afternoon browsing Church Street Marketplace, visiting local cafés and shops, or enjoying dinner at a Burlington restaurant. Return to the lake for a comfortable evening and time to unwind. As the ski season begins, mountain outings offer another option, depending on resort opening dates and conditions.
For an added way to relax, stays in Bay House, Bay Chalet, Harbor Cottage, and Lakeside Villa include access to the lakeside sauna, cold plunge, and hot tub. These wellness facilities are shared among overnight guests of the four eligible suites.
Check availability for your November or December stay.
Restaurants, local shops and Church Street, about a 15-minute drive away
Enjoy Burlington while staying by the lake. From Lakeshore Vermont in Colchester, downtown Burlington is about a 15-minute drive away.
Browse the shops along Church Street Marketplace, stop at a local café, visit a brewery, or make time for dinner at one of the city’s restaurants. November and December also offer opportunities for holiday shopping and seasonal outings.
Whether you’re planning a weekend together or visiting loved ones for the holidays, combine time in Burlington with a comfortable lakeside stay on Malletts Bay. Check the local events calendar for what’s happening during your visit.
Lakeside scenery and time outdoors at your own pace
November and December offer a quieter setting for a stay on Malletts Bay. Take in Lake Champlain’s changing scenery, enjoy the crisp air, and return to the comfort of your Lakeshore Vermont suite.
For time outdoors, explore Colchester’s parks and walking trails, including Airport Park and the Colchester Causeway when weather and trail conditions allow. When there is enough snow, Airport Park also offers opportunities for snowshoeing and cross-country skiing.
Plan your outing around the day’s weather and check local access information before heading out.
Combine a lakeside stay with a mountain outing when the season begins
If skiing or snowboarding is part of your getaway, consider a day at Smugglers’ Notch, Bolton Valley or Stowe, then return to your Lakeshore Vermont suite for a comfortable evening by the lake.
Early-season opening dates, terrain, and snow conditions vary by resort and weather. Before planning a November or December ski day, check your chosen resort’s operating schedule, available trails, and ticket information.
There is plenty to enjoy without a ski day, too. Combine your stay with Burlington dining and shopping, local walks, or shared lakeside wellness access when you book one of the four eligible waterfront suites: Bay House, Bay Chalet, Harbor Cottage, and Lakeside Villa.
