The views from this property are exceptional. The sound of the water and the breeze are lovely. This is a rustic building with pretty much everything you might need for your vacation. We especially enjoyed the large screened porch. We were really happy the bike path was so close. The host was very helpful and quick to respond when we had any questions.

Our family has enjoyed "meals for the masses" on that screened-in side porch for decades now. And we love it that you did, too! Come again! :)

The Burlington Bike Path and Island Line Rail Trail are world class with access points within a half mile ofvour driveway. We sre so lucky. Glad to know you were able to experience that!

What a gorgeous view! The property was quiet and accommodated our large family beautifully. Playing cards on the porch, enjoying the morning sun, swinging in the back yard, and minutes from several attractions made this property exceptional. Thank you!

We've owned Barney Point for nearly 80 years and enjoy sharing it with folks like you! And after all threse years, we never get tired of the panoramic views of New York's magnificent Adironack Mountain Range across the lake, Vermont's Green Mountains on our side of the lake ...and those sunsets! Please come again!

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.

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!

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

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.

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!

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.

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

Fabulous house and setting

We loved our family reunion at this comfortable house on Lake Champlain. The property manager was extremely helpful and quick to respond to our questions. The kitchen was the best equipped of anywhere we’ve stayed in the past. We hope to return!
