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 $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.

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

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!

About the host

Host profile image
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.
