Relive those lazy days of yesteryear by the lake! This cozy 3-bedroom 1-bath seasonal camp on Malletts Bay holds all the charm and character of days gone by while including the comforts of home. Relax and watch the boats go by from the screened-in porch or take a dip in the lake off the private raft. The raft is also perfect for fishing or sunning. Blue Camp can sleep up to 8 (counting the sofa sleeper), although some guests enjoy sleeping on the screened porch for more of an outdoor experience. Limited dock space and mooring can be made available for access to your boat upon request when booking and when water levels are not too high. Fully equipped kitchen, dining area and living room with wood-stove for those cool nights. Quiet location is on a dead end dirt road within walking distance from the general store. For lakeside or Church Street dining, Burlington is accessible by bike (30-45 min on the community bike path), boat, or automobile (15 min). For the more adventurous, several zip lines are within 90 minutes and various restaurants are available on the NY side of Lake Champlain which can be crossed with your boat or by ferry. Bikes (4), kayaks (2), and paddle board are available for use. Other attractions include hiking trails, mountain climbing, museums, wineries, cruises on Lake Champlain, drive-in movie theatre, and more.

    There was no insulation in the bedrooms which made them quite cold for sleeping in comfortably at the end of October. The attic is open in most of the house (no ceilings in bedrooms either) so its quite dusty. Furthermore, cleaning is up to the guests (which is why there is no cleaning fee) so it needs a deep clean overall. The cleaning policy should also be mentioned BEFORE you get check in instructions which first mention the guests are expected to clean (including washing, drying and putting away linens). Mattresses were all quite old and need some toppers if not updated. Despite these issues, the location is wonderful and the porch overlooking the lake is very nice. With some adjustments to the cleaning (my chief concern) I would stay again.

    The view was excellent. It's on a quiet road, with plenty of activities nearby. The camp is rustic and unique, but well-maintained. It felt like going back in a time machine. John lives nearby, and responded quickly via direct message. The screened porch is massive and would be perfect for summer dinners. Overall, it was a lovely experience for my parents and they would certainly stay there again.

    Felt as though I was a child again as we had many friends with similar cabins. Loved the beautiful porch and the view of the bay. Was perfect for our annual getaway!.

    We had a great time at the Blue Camp. The screened in porch was the highlight. Wonderful breeze off the lake. Very peaceful setting. Central to Colchester, Burlington, and not too far from Stowe.

    As advertised. Right on the water. Had a fun and relaxing experience. Everything you need for a week of calm and relaxation was there. Well stocked with pots and pans and other utensils and glassware. Bring your own linens if you want to feel more comfortable. Bikes, dual kayaks and paddleboard as advertised and in good shape. It might feel a bit tight for six people with just a single bathroom. Walk to the water but this time of year, there were tons of geese and geese poop galore. Also note there is on demand heating and so you might run out of hot water in minutes, but wait a minute and the hot water comes back again in a minute. But loved the camp style like experience and the town and shoet ride to Burlington, bike path, and more, make this a wonderful place to spend the week.

    The listing was accurate, pics and all. It wasn't spotless, which we kinda figured since it relies on other guests and is an older place. The weather sucked, but we made the best of it! Our last day was amazing though, and we loved the porch. Best part? We got to sit out there even though it rained.

    We loved this little camp, perfect spot on the lake and very nostalgic feeling. It has all of the necessary items and many comforts as well. It was a chilly weekend but the heating stove kept us toasty! Very easy to use with a remote. If we come when the weather is better we’d definitely use the kayaks and bikes. Loved our stay at Blue Camp!!!

    I can’t say better things about my stay at the Blue Camp. My mom and I had a mother daughter trip here in late September. it’s absolutely picturesque and so so cozy. John is a wonderful human and host. There is an uncles number of things to do, and I really enjoyed riding the bikes on the property to the nearby islands. You will have the coziest beast time here. Already looking forward to coming back in the summer with friends and getting in the lake.

    Great place, felt like living in an episode of the Waltons. A bit dusty and cobwebby in the best way. It would be nice if the bedroom walls were extended to the roof.

    The blue cabin was a wonderful little retreat nestled right on Lake Champlain. The views were spectacular, the cabin was spotless and also has every amenity you could possibly think of, and then some! Communication with the renter was quick and easy and seamless. A total 10/10 experience. I would totally recommend this place!

    Sometimes these places sound too good to be true. Not the case here, perfect place for a quiet getaway, explore the beautiful Burlington area, including the lake. You can hike, bike, kayak or just chill in the serenity of the amazing screen porch. Everything you need is right there. The hosts do a wonderful job with the place. Thank you for a great stay.

    The house is a classic older lakehouse. The location is great - in a quiet area but accessible to Burlington with a short easy drive. There is no dock or outdoor patio but there is a lovely front lawn going down to the lake where you can put out lawn furniture if you want to sit out by the lake. The front screened porch is large and the view is beautiful. It could use a few upgrades to the mattresses and furniture but overall for the money it is a wonderful place for a quiet getaway with access to natural beauty and proximity to Burlington for shopping and restaurants. We would definitely recommend this rental.

    Very quaint with room for children to Play and run. Had over family for the evening and a grandchild or two to play during the day. Tiny kitchen but adequate for meal prep as long as you don’t get too fancy. Quite a few dust bunnies but not really worrisome unclean. Hope to stay again. Would be lovely in winter, too if winterized .

    We enjoyed Blue Camp's porch view of Mallets Bay, especially the sunrise views and watching the boats on the bay. It's in a quiet neighborhood and is well located for easy drives to the islands or mountains for hiking or Burlington for dining and shopping.
