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.

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

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!

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.

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.

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!

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!

College Graduation

I rented the property for my daughters UVM gradation. The place was perfect! We had 6-7 staying but could have fit more. Plus there is a bunk house that we be additionally rented (no bathroom but sleeping space!) The main house is rustic so you will hear creaky footsteps at night. 2 Bathrooms on first floor, none on the 2nd but certainly enough for fine for our stay. Front decks were great with BBQ grill (piped in gas, so no tanks needed), multiple coolers available. Kitchen fully equipped with sharp knives, PAM, multiple coffee pots (including a Keurig), spices and they had fresh cut flowers for us! We hosted a barbecue with yard games and fire pit at home. The view are just to die for and we will have many memories of the place. Scott the property manager very accessible and accommodating. Thank you for all the fun times and photos. We had an unbelievable views of Adirondacks and sunsets. Thank you!!

Fantastic location and beautiful sunsets

There are so many great things about this house and property but some people may not like the "rustic" nature of it so be advised. I always think it's best to have the correct expectations! The location is perfect(close to the bike path, causeway, airport park, and beach) and the yard and deck were so pleasant. We loved the swing! The sunsets were incredible and it was very nice to look out almost all the windows and see the water. The screened porch was great for the gang eating together. The kitchen is well equipped, I loved the coffee/tea "station". The house is definitely rustic in that there is little paneling or sheetrock over the studs leaving wires and nails exposed. Maybe not the best place for young children? The three upstairs bedrooms were spacious and comfortable but the walls between them were not to the ceiling so that light and sound went between them all. This was a little problematic for our group as we had little kids and night owls together. This place is really quite unique and has so many great things about it, I hate to say anything "negative" but I feel it may not please some folks especially given the rather high rent for the week.

Graduation Celebration!

This was the perfect spot for our family to gather to celebrate our daughters graduation from UVM. The views and relaxed vibe of the house were just what we were looking for. Easy access to Burlington, close to the causeway for sunset walks, plenty of room for all of us. I wouldn’t recommend this place to people with young children, only because of the rustic nature of the house. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay. Thank you!

Barney Point

Barney Point is a unique experience-a charmingly rustic home with ALL the amenities needed for a relaxing and fun vacation! The expansive views from the front deck, side screened-in porch, and back yard are stunning! You feel like you are in a very remote location, yet there are so many fun activities nearby. The world-famous Rail Trail bike path is just down the street-great for all fitness levels in the family!. We enjoyed sailing in Mallett's Bay, kayaking/swimming at North Beach, and eclectic Burlington/Winooski restaurants. Still, the highlight was relaxing at the house with the breeze and the gorgeous views-very therapeutic!
