Rustic Cliff-top Cabin at the Tip of Lake Champlain's Barney Point

Available seasonally (mid-April to late October) with 400 feet of cliff-top frontage at the tip of Lake Champlain's Barney Point. This property is the perfect get-a-way destination for family and friend gatherings or business retreats. Enjoy the stunning 270° view overlooking Vermont's world-famous Green Mountains and New York State's magnificent Adirondack Mountain Range.

Spread out and relax as you enjoy modern amenities in a century-old cabin that sleeps up to 14, plus 6 more in the optionally available bunkhouse. Pillows, bedding, toiletries and a starter supply of paper products provided. Tons of rustic charm. Wood-burning fireplace insert (firewood provided). Outdoor fire-pit (firewood provided). Spacious 2-tier deck with lake view and BBQ. Large screened, eat-in porch seats 18+ for meals, games and conversation. Fully equipped kitchen. Great room with plenty of seating and 20’ ceilings! Plenty of on-site, off-street parking, too.

Traveling with a large group? Ask about the optionally available, on-site Bunkhouse with sleeping accommodation for up to six more for an additional fee of $200/night + Vermont's 13% lodging tax.

Experience Vermont's world-famous foliage in the Fall. Many shopping, recreational, entertainment, cultural and culinary opportunities available anytime just minutes away in the greater Burlington area, Vermont's largest population center.

Enjoy Lake Champlain cruises out of Burlington Harbor’s scenic Waterfront Park. A world-famous "rails to trails” conversion (the Island Line Bike Trail) is just up the road from the driveway to Barney Point. This bike path connects mainland Vermont to the Lake Champlain Islands with the broad expanse of Lake Champlain on one side and outer Malletts Bay (the lake's largest) on the other.

All to say… come stay!.

You’ll never forget THIS get-a-way. : )

Wonderful rustic camp
We picked this property because of its rustic nature as well as ability to host a large number of people. The views are absolutely amazing. We couldn’t get enough, hated to leave. We look forward to booking again in the future.

Classic Lakeside Camp
Our family had a wonderful time at this classic lakeside camp! We found it very clean, spacious, comfortable, well equipped, and charmingly rustic. Absolutely breathtaking views and very well situated with a short walk to the rail trail. Loved it!

Beautiful property in a beautiful area
Really loved the house and property. It was the perfect distance from the city to have the seclusion and peace we traveled for, while also being close to everything we needed or wanted for entertainment. The sunsets were incredible, and we very much look forward to coming back if able!

Great Place Right on the Lake
This was an incredible place right on Lake Champlain. The location could not be better. It feels very remote, yet you are 15 minutes from Burlington. Inside, it is rustic and very comfortable. Everything was neat and clean. In the main house you can easily fit 10 people with their own rooms. You can add another couple with a futon in the main room. The property management company was responsive and easy to deal with. Overall, when visiting Burlington, I highly recommend this place.

Rustic? Just dirty and dusty
My Wife and I booked a stay for 4 nights, We only stayed there 1 night and got a hotel for the remainder of our stay. Rustic does not mean filthy. The coffee pot had green mold, the kitchen smelled like trash (due to the trash can and recylcles never being cleaned) Cobwebs and spiders everywher, pubic hairs and urine on the toilet.... the furniture is worn out and the roof leaks by the front door! Tent camping would be better. Not worth the money.

Spectacular views, rustic charm, this house is the perfect family vacation destination
Wow, we rented this for our son’s graduation weekend, with grandparents, uncles, more family and friends joining us this house and Tim’s incredible hospitality made it a weekend that we’ll cherish forever. If you are looking for a place with lake views that can’t be beat, and a relaxing few days don’t miss this place

Perfect spot for Family Reunion!
Beautiful, peaceful location on the shores of Lake Champlain. "Camp" was a great place for our family reunion / college graduation celebration with friends. Amazing sunsets by the outdoor fire, family dinner gatherings on the screened porch, and lovely walks on the nearby Causeway were just a few of the highlights of our stay. Thank you, Tim and family, for sharing your special home-away-from-home with us. We loved our time at Barney Point!

Rustic retreat!
Barney Point is the perfect place to gather family and friends and make memories! Wether you are swimming in the crystal clear lake, riding your bikes on the wonderful Vermont bike trails, gathering around the fire pit or cooking in the amazingly appointed kitchen you will be blessed with the peace and joy that only a New England "camp" can provide! Our entire family LOVED our time together at Barney Point. We can't wait to return!

Views Galore!
Our group of 8 adults stayed for 3 nights. There was room for everyone. Plenty of seating. The cottage had the best stocked kitchen I’ve seen in any rental with plenty of dishes and cookware. We used the fire pit each night after enjoying the incredible sunsets over Lake Champlain to the Adirondacks. The location was good for hopping on the bike trail and it was only a 10 minute drive into Burlington. We loved the rustic nature of the cottage- it has history. And you can’t beat the views!

Paradise by the Lake
My friends and I enjoyed a picture perfect stay at Barney Point. The home has everything you'd want for your Vermont getaway - rustic wood finishings, a beautiful brick fireplace and breathtaking views (and there's a lot of 'em) of Lake Champlain. It's a quick (15 minute) drive to Burlington and we had little trouble getting cabs. Finally Tim's a gracious and responsive host, and I hope to be back soon.

Just the best!
This was our second stay at Barney Point and the family is already talking about a third. Since our first visit there have been many upgrades but they have not interfered with the rustic charm of the camp. Air condition, an additional bathroom and dishwasher made life easier but it was the sunsets and meals on the porch that made our visit unforgettable. Tim is great to work with and made us feel welcomed. Can't wait to plan another visit!!

Summer 2019, Great family spot
Barney Point was everything my family loves about a summertime gathering spot! Rustic, yet comfortable! Wonderful views of the lake and mountains! Lots of room in the yard for kids to be kids, while adults relax and enjoy each other’s company on one of several decks or around the fire pit! Burlington VT is now one of our favorite spots and Barney Point is very close to all kinds of things to do! We hiked, biked, boated, dined and drank, all just a few minutes from the house! I would definitely recommend Barney Point to those looking to stay with extended family or friends.
