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. ##### Brian L.

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. ##### Cole H.

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 ##### joe s.

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.

Screened in porch best feature! Great for large dinners or sitting watching the water with a book. Alot to do nearby between Colchester and Burlington. Great vacation! ##### Michelle G.

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! ##### Forrest E.

The property worked out great. Scott the property manager very accessible and flexible. The property has unbelievable views of the Adirondacks and Lake Champlain. So many amenities that contributed to the success of the weekend - front decks, with furniture, BBQ tapped into gas, 2 coolers, kitchen stocked with sharp knives, plates, cookware, spices, coffee/tea, basic stocked items. Living room and dining areas flowed well for entertaining. Enjoyed evening's outside fire pit and 15 Adirondack chairs. ##### Susan ### 8/10 Good #### Walid K. 22 Aug 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Relaxing stay It ##### Walid K.

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. ##### Erik S. Stayed 4 nights in Aug 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Susan B. 23 May 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### 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!! ##### Susan B.

We loved everything about the house on Barney Point! The large screened-in dining room with a 180-degree view of the Green Mountains and Adirondacks made sit-down family dinners for 11+ the perfect spot to enjoy our meals. The well-appointed kitchen had everything we needed to fix those meals whether grilling or roasting in the oven and the dishwasher made cleaning up super easy. Morning coffee on the front porch overlooking the lake was a great way to start the day and the fire pit in the backyard made for a great spot for sunset viewing and making "Some Mores" at the end of the day. We were never bored between biking on the Causeway or playing basketball, pickleball, and tennis at nearby Airport Park. The nearby beach was a definite highlight. As long as we all had water shoes, the rocks were only a mild inconvenience and the water was perfect for stand-up paddling or the giant raft we brought with us. By the end of the day, we welcomed the comfy beds! ##### Lynda ### 10/10 Excellent #### Heather C. 5 Jun 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### 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! ##### Heather C. Stayed 6 nights in May 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### Leslie M. 26 Jul 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Fantastic location and beautiful sunsets There are so many great things about this house and property but some people may not like the "rustic" nature of it so be advised. I always think it's best to have the correct expectations! The location is perfect(close to the bike path, causeway, airport park, and beach) and the yard and deck were so pleasant. We loved the swing! The sunsets were incredible and it was very nice to look out almost all the windows and see the water. The screened porch was great for the gang eating together. The kitchen is well equipped, I loved the coffee/tea "station". The house is definitely rustic in that there is little paneling or sheetrock over the studs leaving wires and nails exposed. Maybe not the best place for young children? The three upstairs bedrooms were spacious and comfortable but the walls between them were not to the ceiling so that light and sound went between them all. This was a little problematic for our group as we had little kids and night owls together. This place is really quite unique and has so many great things about it, I hate to say anything "negative" but I feel it may not please some folks especially given the rather high rent for the week. ##### Leslie M. Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sophie H. 24 May 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Graduation Celebration! This was the perfect spot for our family to gather to celebrate our daughters graduation from UVM. The views and relaxed vibe of the house were just what we were looking for. Easy access to Burlington, close to the causeway for sunset walks, plenty of room for all of us. I wouldn’t recommend this place to people with young children, only because of the rustic nature of the house. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay. Thank you! ##### Sophie H.

Most walls are unfinished and no insulation whatsoever. Suitable for summer trips without any kids. ##### Senthil S.
