Burlington is a picturesque, walkable riverfront town with a lively downtown of cafés, breweries and farm-to-table restaurants, plus easy outdoor options like hiking, biking and paddling—perfect for recharging between shifts and enjoying a quieter, friendly place to stay for several weeks.
Big-city amenities are close by: Milwaukee offers museums, nightlife and a major airport, and Chicago delivers world-class dining, theatre and airports—both are within a roughly 75‑mile drive for convenient weekend escapes and supplies.
