About this property
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. : )

About the host
Hosted by Owner
We are a family of eleven siblings, now grown with kids, grandkids and great-grandkids of our own. Our parents bought Barney Point in 1948. We still call it "camp", as many seasonal properties are commonly referred to here in Vermont ...and we still use the property every year. We especially enjoy being able to share this glorious spot on the eastern shore of Lake Champlain (a.k.a., "the West Coast of New England") with others ...like you! We hope you and your family & friends enjoy it as much as we have all these years.
