Walk Softly, There’s a Dream Here!

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.
No unauthorized guests overnight!
