Just because you are getting an amazing deal on an AirBnB doesn't mean you can't enjoy the awesome lobby and restaurant of Burlington's best hotel. Usually (surprisingly) not too busy to get a table. Monday nights is Trivia Night at 7:00 PM (where Arshad hosts a team: Talk Nerdy To Me)

The Burlington Bike Path can be ridden, run or walked from Waterfront Park, all the way to the Champlain Islands (eventually you will reach a bike ferry that runs in the summer months). There are a couple of bike rental shops (Skirack & Localmotion), which I will link to in the guidebook. Here is the link to the Trail Map: https://www.traillink.com/trail/island-line-rail-trail/
