Vacation rentals with a fire pit in Essex

We had a wonderful weekend at this beautiful home and would love to come back! It was spacious and had everything we needed for six adults and one baby. The scenery was stunning, and Maggie was very helpful and responsive. Amazing shower in the downstairs bathroom too!

The barnbrook house was lovely, private and rustic. It had everything our family needed as a base to explore VT/NH. The mountain views are sublime and the house is tucked away offering a lot of privacy. As far as amenities, we loved the toy chest, darts board, and den. There’s plenty of space for a family and Dana stocked up the kitchen with coffee and tea. If you need to be in Hanover for events, this location is a 45 minute drive so keep that in mind when planning.

We loved our stay. It was beautiful and we loved being right by the lake as well as the sauna, fire pit, and outdoor seating. The house was cozy and the little kids toy closet was such a cute touch. We had an amazing time on our family vacation and would definitely recommend this rental. Ash was also so communicative and ready to help if we ever needed anything. So thankful!

Great stay! The place was clean, quiet, and in a very central location. Helena was responsive and made everything easy. Would definitely recommend.

We have stayed in a couple of Maude’s rentals before, it is always a peaceful experience when the Brewster river babbling in the background, windows open, and wildlife to watch. Another relaxing weekend spent in Jeffersonville! The kids really enjoyed the frisbee golf basket & being able to fish from the back yard. Thanks for a great stay!

We loved our stay at Raquel’s! We had a wedding at Bliss Ridge Farm and the Airbnb was in a very convenient location. We liked being close to Waterbury and Waitsfield, which had great restaurant options. Loved being so close to Red Hen Bakery! We appreciated how clean and well equipped the house was. We especially enjoyed the little play area for our baby boy.

Truly a great spot with all the small things you need to make it a special weekend. Craig and Terri had excellent communication and do everything to make you feel right at home. I’ve stayed at this place now three times and am already looking forward to being back!

My husband and I, along with our 3 teenage children, enjoyed 4 days in Vermont with Hyde Park as our "home-base." The setting was quiet and peaceful--just what we needed after a hectic end to the school year! We hiked around the Stowe area, which was only about 20 minutes away. We also loved exploring some of the art and history in Burlington, as well as Lake Champlain. It was nice to have a kitchen and a nearby grocery store so we didn't have to eat out constantly. Gillian was very kind and responsive to our messages during our stay.

Audrey’s Porcupine Farm Barn was the perfect place for us and our pup to get some respite from our day to day grind. With scenic vistas outside our window the space was an ideal blend of rustic and comfortable, and Audrey was around to answer any questions and assist us whenever we needed. We would absolutely stay again - and hopefully will soon!

I really enjoyed the quiet, private porch. A Cup of coffee, while watching the birds and hearing the river nearby was quite relaxing. Great location for viewing the stars at night & long slow strolls on the country dirt road.

Every little detail about this quaint apartment suited us perfectly! We were in a beautiful space that fit my family of 4 very comfortably! After a 6 1/2 hour drive without stopping for food we were beyond excited and thankful to be greeted with a homemade loaf of sourdough bread and a basket full of treats! The space is perfectly appointed and pristine! We were just minutes away from our daughter whom we were visiting at UVM, and minutes from the lake, river and pond for my husband and son fishing enthusiasts! Thank you for a wonderful weekend!

Jonathan was an amazing host! The place was so clean, comfortable, lots of extra towels/linens. The kitchen was well stocked and immaculate. Lots of space to spread out with our group of friends. The master bedroom had a crib which was nice for our 1 year old. The only thing was the area was a bit sketchy…my brother-in-law’s handicap van got shot with a pellet gun by some dumb teens driving by. Smashed his whole side window which was not great. Police came out and took a report. Unfortunately, that could happen anywhere but I did feel a little unsafe after that. But the house itself was nice. Huge backyard. Would stay here again! Just wouldn’t park on the street lol.

A beautiful cozy place in a quiet green area. Everything was clean and well organized, comfortable bed, good pressure and temperature in the shower. Nice little kitchen. Very friendly and responsive host. Would definitely recommend 😊

We had a great holiday weekend in Charlotte at Robert's apartment. It was close to the mountains we wanted to climb and a nature preserve where we skied. Close to Burlington and Middlebury where we found dinner each night. The apartment is cozy and comfortable; really a delightful place. We also met Robert who was funny and the perfect host. We stayed during a massive winter storm that dumped so much snow on the area and Robert was always very interested in making sure we could get out of the driveway! There were also thoughtful snacks and what not for us when we arrived which is such a nice bonus. We will definitely check to see if the apartment is available the next time we come to VT. Thank you so much, Robert! We hope to stay with you again soon.

This is exactly as it should always be! Roger was simply proactive and gave us all the necessary instructions and information. Really a place we look forward to go back to.

Patti’s place is a gem. Better than the pictures. I look forward to returning next summer. Patti is super helpful and responsive. Thank you Patti.

Such a beautiful cabin! We had the best time, even with some rainy weather! This location is perfect for exploring beautiful Vermont and for having a cozy night in. The sound of the river was so calming - we didn’t want to leave! The unit is right above the bathrooms, as mentioned but that was never an issue! We heard folks coming and going every now and then but we knew to expect this based on the description. The cabin was fully equipped everything we needed and even more! The dog treats, long leash and doggy bowls were a great touch! We would absolutely recommend to anyone considering this stay! Perfect weekend for us and our sweet golden retriever!

We absolutely adored our stay at the cabin. It is idyllic inside and out! It was amazing to come home to after a day of exploring. The bed was super comfortable and the highlight for us was watching VHS on the TV with snacks. It is so well equipped and cosy, also enjoyed a lovely bath in the claw foot tub. Just perfect for a rustic, cosy stay in nature. A highlight for me was stepping outside at night and listening to (I assume they were) frogs!! They were so loud and it was incredible to hear them, the trees were also surrounded by fireflies (I’d never seen them before!) and I’ll always remember that perfect moment of peace. Thank you for making our 10 year anniversary so memorable with such a lovely place to stay, if you’re thinking of it for a special occasion or just as a base to explore this adorable region of Vermont, look no further :) thank you!

This is a really beautiful location. The pictures are accurate but they don't quite capture the scale of the bay, lake, and peninsula. You're perched up on a hill or cliff and the birds-eye perspective makes for a great view. The owners are welcoming but respect your privacy. Ausable Chasm is definitely worth the visit. It takes several hours to explore the trails so keep in mind to bring some water. I found Keeseville the perfect place for a peaceful getaway, away from all the traffic and nonsense associated with our daily lives. There are a couple of good spots to eat in town and everything is about 10 minutes from the cabin. Lake Placid is about 45 minutes way if you're looking for other things to do. The drive up Whiteface Mountain is breathtaking and High Falls Gorge is nice, but the gorge pales in comparison to Ausable Chasm.

We had an amazing stay! Beautiful and thoughtfully stocked cabin and friendly hosts :) highly recommend!

We loved our stay here! My boyfriend and I came for our anniversary weekend, and it was a wonderful getaway: a special shoutout to the incredible windows. The space made us feel completely surrounded by nature while still enjoying total privacy. So so quiet out there. The cabin is modern and beautifully designed, which made the experience feel even more special. Super cozy beds and hot shower. Firepit is right outside the door which is nice because it gets dark and creepy when you’re way out there in Vermont lol. We also loved getting a peek at the maple and honey production! it’s rare you can stop and grab true Vermont goodies like fresh maple syrup and honey right at your Airbnb!! Great hosts - and we absolutely adored Libby, the sweetest dog. Thank you for such a memorable weekend!

Ravenwood is the perfect get away. From the cabin construction, attention to detail, rustic decor, the surrounding farm area and gracious hosts. All around five stars!

Great little getaway. My fiancé and I were able to have a peaceful retreat to this beautiful cabin. The scenery is breathtaking. Quiet, private, and off grid in all the right places. Peggy was so sweet and her pup too! Would love to visit this perfect little cabin again.

Very private and peaceful location but still close to shopping and attractions. We enjoyed exploring the Mad River Valley through hiking, biking and swimming. The cabin is very practical and well designed. We would love to come back some time.
