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. : )

Had a wonderful stay at this cabin with family. The place has a cool vibe–rustic, cozy and comfortable. Everything you need is there. And the best part of this property is the location and spectacular views of the lake, mountains and sunsets. Easy access into Burlington with lots to see and do is pretty great too, as well as great hiking and biking nearby. Just some of our trip highlights: walking and biking the causeway and bike ferry to South Hero Island; Ethan Allen tower and the historic home; Shelburn Farm and Inn; Burlington arts district; toll road up Mt. Mansfield at Stowe; Sailing our boat from the beach just below the house.

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.

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? 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.

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!!
