About this property
Lake Champlain camp, spacious deck, sunset & mountain views, beach and dock
Our family's rustic, roomy cabin is located on scenic Thompson's Point, nestled among cedars with stunning views of Lake Champlain and the Adirondacks, close to the music of the waves and the clear, bright canopy of summer stars. The deck is the center of the action, with a grill and front row seats for magnificent sunsets. The great room features a full dining table, picture windows with lake view, and a newly remodeled kitchen. We have one of the few beaches on Thompson's Point and well as a dock for swimming. The cabin is close to hiking and shopping (Shelburne, Burlington, Middlebury). It's a lovely place to gather with family and friends and explore the rich cultural and natural life of the Champlain Valley and beyond.
The parking area can accommodate 3 cars. Please be aware that there are 36 stairs from the parking area to the cabin, and another couple of dozen from the cabin down to the beach.
Please note we have an 11% discount for weekly stays (7 days).

About the host
Hosted by Matthew Baker & Corrie Blankenbeckler
Matthew is a librarian and Corrie works in education. They are the fourth generation stewards of this very special place.
Why they chose this property
My great-grandfather began building this cabin in the 1930s, and it has been affectionately cared for by members of our family ever since -- five generations now. The place is beautiful, restful, simple -- on a shady, cedar-quiet slope in the companionable presence of Lake Champlain. It has been the site of large, joyful gatherings and quiet retreats. It is an ideal location to cook, talk, walk, swim, disappear with a book, recharge the batteries, or catch up with loved ones. There are so many things to explore nearby: hiking, shopping, charming towns and winding, picturesque roads.
What makes this property unique
At the cabin, you are always in the presence of Lake Champlain, which can be comfortingly calm as well as exhilaratingly rough. Few things are more wonderful then falling asleep to the sound of waves on the rocky shore. The stars on a clear night are overwhelming. There are spots to be alone, with the deck and great room serving as common gathering places. The deck is open to it all and morning, afternoon, and evening one can sit and soak it the lake, sky, the fresh air, and feel a sense of rest and refreshment.
