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 $226/night which includes 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. : )

Our stay at Barney Point was everything we imagined and more. The roomy cabin had space for our large group both inside and out. Meals in the sun room and nights out by the firepit were the highlights. Plenty of natural light, with wind that kept the temperature comfortable day & night. Communication with ownership was top-notch and the check in/out process a breeze. I would highly recommend a stay on Lake Champlain here.

Incredible property!

We came up here for a reunion and this property did not disappoint. The home was beautiful and steps away from the lake. The host team was the best I have ever worked with. Couldn't recommend this place enough. We hope to be back someday.

Great get Away

Came up for my brother's bachelor party. Being just outside burlington is fantastic. Close enough to get to do what we wanted, but secluded enough that we didn't feel pressured. The cabin inself was super cozy. it mostly comfortably slept 10 dudes. The views are insanely beautiful and the firepit was perfect. I'd absolutely stay here again with a big group

Rustic, charming cabin on beautiful Barney Point

Great location near the bike path. We rented this cabin for a family gathering for my husband’s three siblings and their families. Our niece and her son live nearby, so we had up to 13 gathering for meals and up to 11 adults staying overnight. The kitchen was cozy but well equipped with everything we needed except a crockpot and a muffin pan. The large island was great for setting up meals buffet-style. We ate at the long tables on the screened porch (or “3-season room”), and the weather was beautiful. Would have been tight to dine 13 people inside. The two bathrooms with showers were well equipped with shampoo, conditioner, and shower gel. There is a full size washer and dryer in the 2nd (larger) bathroom and plenty of towels. A lovely location and enjoyable, relaxed stay.

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.

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!

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!

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!
