Walk Softly, There’s a Dream Here!
15 Minutes to downtown Burlington
Nestled in the private Mills Point Peninsula is Baxter’s Hide-Away cottage waiting for you and your companion. "Impressionism" enjoy my choice of artist paintings throughout the cottage.
Perfectly situated steps to The World Famous Colchester Causeway Bike path and Lake access.
Perfect for a couple or a single person. - not a good neighborhood for singles coming to party.
The space
Baxter’s Hide-Away Cottage is 15 minutes away from Burlington’s excitement College events, festivals, triathlons.
Baxter’s Hide-Away was just brought to life at 2 years ago in a unique way. The grounds won’t be complete until next year.
It is our goal that the cottage in addition to this enchanting area provide you with a restful and refreshing visit.
Guest access
Guest have this sweet Cottage to themselves.
The Causeway (bike path) access is a short walk down the hill. Also the Mills Point beach area is available for Mills Point residents and guests.
Other things to note; We now have a new heating system.
We have a keyless touchscreen deadbolt on the front door, so you won't have to worry about carrying a key. This gives you the option of arriving late at night or at another time where we can't meet you to let you in. The code to get in is reset after each guest, and I will give your keypad number before you arrive.
This is a quiet neighborhood.
There is a family of bunnies that live in the neighborhood you will likely see them hopping around at times.

It was VERY quiet. For us it was centrally located to all the areas we wanted to hike.The decor was absolutely amazing. Each day we would notice something we had missed the previous days.We would most definitely stay there again

Wonderful trip!
Cabin is exactly as pictured. Beautiful decor, and a very homey feel! This was the best experience I've ever had booking a VRBO, from start to finish. The host was very responsive, the pricing was fair, and the cabin was very clean.

Family visit
Location was secluded, quick access to the causeway which we enjoyed. Power went out our last night, but it wasn't long before it came back on. The quiet was blissful!!
Thank you!

Beautiful and comfortable property and home
The home is filled with very nice personal and thoughtful decor. We very much enjoyed our stay and appreciate the cleanliness and warmth that the owners have taken time to fill the inside with.
This is a great place for a stay in the Burlington area.

Peace and Serenety
What a wonderful setting to get away from it all yet be close to everything you could possibly need or want. This little cottage is an embrace as you are drawn into its warmth.

This place is very cool and the location is great. The kitches has everything you would need. Kayaks are nice but there is a steep staircase to get the the rocky water. Big problem is that there is only a partial wall to the bathroom. No ceiling. Not much privacy. A/C was ok at best on a very hot day. Needed to walk across a wet lawn to get to the house which is behind another house.
