Ladies weekend in Burlington
Great stay! Super fun weekend with the ladies and visiting my daughter in Burlington. Lovely room and loved the huge (life-sized) gingerbread house in the lobby. Had a couple of meals in the Tavern - good food and very convenient.

It truly felt like a resort the way the staff treated us. We were greeted and given a map of the property and a rundown of all the amenities there. We ate at both the Tavern and Junction which were delicious. We got a massage at the Spa which was incredible too. I can’t wait to go again soon!

Very clean. Stayed with two young children under 3. The pool was very nice. Beautiful outdoor spaces , plus playground across the street was a nice bonus. 24hr café , option to take out food from the resto and complementary s’mores kits, helped us make the most of our stay at this beautiful resort.

We stayed at the Essex for a quick getaway right after our wedding and it was everything we needed and hoped for. Quiet, relaxing, and convenient with all of the on site amenities. I got a massage at the spa and it truly was life saving for my post-wedding sore bod. Dining at the Tavern was a highlight with excellent service and top notch food! We would love to come back sometime and stay longer to enjoy all the area has to offer!
