Pet-friendly vacation rentals in Essex

We loved staying here - a lovely house in a really delightful town and right where we wanted to be for the things we had planned. We would absolutely stay here again the next time we plan to be in the area.

We enjoyed our short stay at Rebecca's bungalow. The accommodations were exactly how they were described. The house was clean and comfortable. The neighborhood was very nice and super quiet.

Booked the house for a writers' retreat, we all couldn't have been happier with the place and with our stay there. The house is spacious, but more importantly, it's very comfortably set up, with multiple areas to sit together, relax or work. The large windows on the first floor have an amazing view, in our case to a thunderstorm on our first night, which was pretty spectacular to see through all those windows. The kitchen had everything we needed to make some big breakfasts, and the location nearby to Middlebury and not far from Burlington was convenient. Rich's communication was excellent and we always felt that we had all the information we needed immediately at hand. I would absolutely recommend this place for a family or small group trip, and will hopefully have the chance to come back sometime!

Place was as advertised. Beautiful, great location, great views, close to convenient grocery shopping and slopes. We'd love to come back some day.

Lindsey’s place was beautiful and peaceful. We had everything we needed to celebrate our daughter’s graduation from St. Mike’s. The view of the lake, mountains, and the farmland was a bonus! Highly recommended and would love to go back and spend more time exploring Grande Isle and the lake and islands. Thank you for sharing your gorgeous home with our family.

Four of us stayed here for my daughter’s graduation from UVM. It was very close to everything and everyplace we needed to go. Instructions were very clear. We had an old house before so especially appreciated how well this one has been restored. The decor was tasteful and very artsy, which we love. Highly recommend this location!

We had a great stay, lovely welcoming home and great location - short walking distance to nice places in town and 30min drive to either Sugarbush or Killington/Pico. Thank you!

We had a great stay! Loved playing board games in front of the fireplace. The house is minutes to Brandon (an adorable town) but still feels away from it all.

beautiful property. very private. our dog really enjoyed. the patio had swings with the river view it was gorgeous.

Chad was an incredible host! He was extremely accommodating with any requests we had. The views from his place are breath-taking! We enjoyed snowshoeing from the backyard onto trails in the woods. I fell in love with his cat who visited daily! He kept the driveway plowed and salted in a timely fashion. We enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend his place!

PERFECT winter getaway! The location was amazing…our room had a wonderful view of the mountain, pool and hot tub. The resort itself was beautiful-great staff! Nice shops, excellent dining and bars! And, of course-snowboarding! Will definitely return! Can’t say enough about Stowe Mountain Resort! AWESOME!

Linda was a fantastic host, and her home was even better than listed. The cabin was a good size for our family of four + dog; the 2 bed / 2 bath arrangement allowed for good privacy when needed. The fireplace was great for apres and winding down at night. Location is a nice mix of seclusion (off the Mountain Rd), but close to everything.

Kristin was super easy to get in touch with. The house is beautiful and super clean. They provided us with towels and soap, it felt like a hotel. Plenty of space. The pool wasn’t available but the jacuzzi was SO nice. You can see deer from you window, it was magical.

Our group had a great time at Anna & JP’s cabin. Not only was the cabin comfortable & filled with amenities - it is right in the middle of all of the best trail heads! 5 stars

No frills but that’s what we were looking for, for a quick spring ski trip! Affordable and great for the kids with a ton to do on the property. Game space, pool, hot tub, laser tag plus skiing! Super fun packed few days. Host very communicative. We will return.

House is even better in person: high quality furnishings, beds, etc. Florence was very easy to communicate with and even helped us get some lift tickets. Highly recommend.

We love the Karma Cabin! This is the second time we stayed with Claudia and it was just as good as the time before. It is by far the most dog friendly Airbnb I have ever experienced and it’s really nice to be able to bring the dogs for a break from the city without concern. I was able to go ski just a few min away and my husband (non-skier) enjoyed relaxing at the cabin and took advantage of the nice big tub and hammock. 10/10!

Such a gem! So happy we found this very private spot. It was perfect for our weekend away with our family and our dogs. Home was super cute, VERY clean and truly one of the best Airbnb's we have ever stayed in as far as amenities. There were so many fresh clean towels, paper towels, toilet paper, and TONS of linens like extra blankets (I usually freeze in bed), even basic kitchen supplies. Got to meet the owner briefly and she is a DOLL! If we have the chance to stay in this area again, we would definitely go back! Don't hesitate if you like quiet private surroundings. Oh and the view out the living room window was the icing on the cake! Thank you for a great stay!

Will’s place was lovely, nicely decorated, and homey. We spent only one night here as we were passing through Montpelier but wish we could have stayed longer!! Super walkable to the downtown area. Really appreciate Will was able to accommodate us last minute.

Had a beautiful time with my family and dogs! Beautiful home and surrounding views. The fire place inside and fire pit outside was a lovely thing. Absolutely no service but WiFi connectivity was excellent. Pre save your destination before leaving the house.

This is our 2nd stay at this Winooski location. Clean, comfortable and very walkable to downtown Winooski and just a short drive into Burlington. Quiet neighborhood. Host quickly responded to an inquiry. We would definitely consider another stay if our travels bring us back to the area.

Very comfortable, quiet stay. Separate from main house with private entrance. Room is spacious and has everything needed for a comfortable stay. Nice to see irises in bloom out the window and other plants just outside the front door. Unfortunately, due to unseasonably cool, rainy weather for much of our stay, we were unable to take advantage of the seating area with fire pit. Short drive ( 10 mins or less) into town of Middlebury. Christine was a welcoming host and was always responsive to any questions, etc. Recommend.

Another amazing stay at Margarette’s! We had so much fun. Her & George are such generous hosts. The location is perfect to easy access to the bike path and the private beach is beautiful and perfect. Realized that we’ve been coming here for years and years and we will continue to do so. Great value highly recommend!

Kate and Rory's home was a great place for our family of three and our dog to stay during our trip to Jay Peak. It's sometime difficult to find pet friendly lodging. Kate and Rory's place was perfect for us. Comfortable bedrooms. Spotlessly clean on arrival.
