The Camp at Barney Point…the perfect place for family vacations or multi-generational retreats! Outstanding 2,700 sf Lakefront “Adirondack Great Camp”, available seasonally, May to October. Fully heated and air conditioned with 5-zones - one for each bedroom, plus the Great Room. This Camp, or lake house, is an architectural “wow”, reflecting a careful, modern renovation while maintaining its historic, 1920s character. Rustic, yet luxurious. Spacious, but cozy,with many nooks for sitting with a good book, a cup of coffee, or a friend or family member...

The Camp is located at Barney Point on Colchester Point Road, Colchester, VT, on the broad portion of Lake Champlain, with spectacular views to south and west, lake breezes, and picture-perfect sunsets.

The property offers almost an acre of manicured lawns, bluestone walkways, and great landscaping, with two hundred feet of cliff-top lake frontage and panoramic views. Kids and adults alike will enjoy the huge, green, lawn (with pop-up irrigation system) for dining, lounging, croquet, volleyball, ping pong, softball, tag or other games. Sit, read, and relax. Lay in a hammock. Sit back in a comfortable Adirondack chair at the cliff's edge and watch the fun of the season on the water in front of you. What you’ll notice about The Camp at Barney Point is that it offers plenty of space for family time, inside and out of doors - on land and water.

Walk the 2-3 minute meandering path through the woods to the association beach—with amazing southerly views to the most expansive section of Lake Champlain—perfect for lounging or launching kayaks, paddleboards, or other water toys. The lake access here offers clean, shallow water and a sandy bottom—great for kids.

Are you looking for an opportunity while on vacation to actually use the lake instead of just gazing at it ! This vacation destination includes numerous amenities that you'd typically find only at an all-inclusive summer resort. Use The Camp’s guest boat mooring, swim platform, rowboat, paddle boards (4), floats, or kayaks (4). Paddling along the shore to explore the bay, Law Island, and the tip of Colchester Point to the north - or the Winooski River and Burlington Bay to the south - are sure to delight guests of all ages.

Or walk, run or bike the Island Line Trail, a 5-mile scenic wonder, offering access points adjacent to The Camp. This continues north to South Hero, VT when the bike ferry is running, or south to Burlington, another 7.5 miles of scenic beauty! Wonderful Airport Park is just down the road, offering tennis, pickleball, basketball, a historic schoolhouse (hours vary), and running trails - great for adults, kids and pets.

The Camp sleeps 14 - a king bed in the 2nd floor master with direct access to a master bathroom with soaking tub overlooking the lake; 2 twins in a 2nd floor bedroom; 4 twins and a double bed in the 3rd 2nd floor bedroom; a king in the 1st floor bedroom with direct access to the 1st floor bathroom; and 2 twins in the main living area that by day form a seating/lounging area for games and reading.

The Camp offers an amazing kitchen with dishwasher, pantry, gas range, fridge with freezer and ice maker, and utensils/dishes for the largest of gatherings, as well as Silestone bar/seating for 6 in a u-shape. A full W&D is offered on the 2nd floor. The Camp has 2 bathrooms, each with shower. The main en-suite Master bath also has a vintage soaking tub overlooking the lake. There is an outdoor shower as well.

The main floor gathering areas offer ample seating for dining, conversation and games. There is a large, wooden dining table with seating for 10-12. In addition, there is 'living' seating for a larger gathering. Views abound from every room, with the screened and outdoor porches and decks offering an extension of the gatherings inside. The Camp offers modern, outdoor composite dining and Adirondack seating. Ample off-road parking is offered, as is a great deal of privacy. Warm up in front of the wood stove, framed by The Camp’s original brick chimney, on those cooler evenings.

    This was the perfect summer camp experience for adults! 8 first cousins from 6 states had the best time in this rustic but well appointed home. We were able to be together in community or break off into little reading or conversation nooks. Would highly recommend this home and host.

    This was an absolutely phenomenal home for our family vacation on Lake Champlain. Burt and Marilee have truly thought of everything and gone out of their way to ensure a comfortable, fun stay. We loved being able to use the kayaks, paddle boards, floats, bikes and lawn games from the amazingly well stocked shed. There’s even a generous firewood supply for campfires and s’mores. The interior is beautifully decorated with an eclectic mix of furniture and antiques. The beds and linens are supremely comfortable. There are what feels like dozens of places to curl up and relax. The kitchen was the best equipped of any rental home I’ve ever experienced. The location is excellent, and the beach near the house is sandy and great for swimming and paddling. We wish we could have stayed longer!

    We had an amazing stay! The location was perfect and it was such a cool house. There were so many amenities- stocked kitchen, grills, chairs, and the lake toys kept us busy. The decor in the house gave it charm and character. I can't say enough about this incredible property. I would stay here again in a heartbeat. Thank you so much for sharing and allowing our group of 10 to enjoy vacation together.

    We truly couldn’t have found a better place to unwind and make lasting memories with family. The Camp is a rustic gem—beautifully decorated, thoughtfully appointed, and surrounded by the calming sights and sounds of nature. From the moment we arrived, we felt at ease.We often find ourselves staying busy even on vacation, but something about this place made it effortless to slow down. It was the kind of stay that leaves you feeling refreshed and genuinely rejuvenated. We’re so grateful for the experience.

    Barney Point is on point! This lovely camp home is well appointed, adorably decorated, has a fabulous yard and amazingly spectacular views! The home was very clean, the kitchen had every utensil/appliance/bakeware imaginable, even an electric hand mixer to make frosting for a birthday cake!! We had such a wonderful time hanging out on the lawn, the seating options allowed us enjoy meals together, play games, complete puzzles etc. The fire pit and provided firewood made for lovely evenings and added to the grand sunsets. Beds were super comfortable and plentiful. The house was in a great location for all we wanted to do and I was delighted and surprised by the causeway near by for my morning walks. We were 7 in total ranging from 12 to 74 years young.

    Our large family had a wonderful experience at The Camp! The house has everything and then some. The detail and functionality of the decor was a daily conversation topic during morning coffee and the kitchen does not lack anything...no, not even a zester. The yard is plenty big for outdoor activities and the shed, oh the shed. I believe I counted 10 bikes. SUP boards, kayaks, pfd's. The shed is chock-full of yard games and anything else you think you might need. We utilized the outdoor fireplace every night, making s'mores and admiring amazing sunsets. By far the best vrbo we've ever stayed at! Thanks to Marilee and Burt for letting us share your home.

    This was the perfect place for friends to meet coming from different states. The house was beautiful and comfortable. The house has so much character and every detail has been included. We really enjoyed sitting in Adirondack chairs looking at the beautiful view of Lake Champlain. The hosts are attentive and respond to questions quickly and are accommodating.

    Probably the best family vacation stay we’ve ever had! Well stocked kitchen! Amazing views, wonderful places for everyone to hang out. Great coffee table for a big family puzzle when it rained. 5 min from grocery store, 3 min from pickleball courts, 3 min from the causeway. Very private and quiet. They had everything! Bikes are in great shape, paddle boards, kayaks, stunning yard. I’d give it 6 stars if I could. A family vacation with memories we will cherish forever!

    Where to begin! Professionally manicured yard with panoramic views of a scenic and historic stretch of Lake Champlain. A shed full of recreational equipment for the entire family: bicycles, kayaks, SUPs, lawn games... We LOVED the old time feel of the well-maintained camp building decorated with collectables, but with all the modern amenities (AC in all the bedrooms)! Multiple gathering options both indoors and outdoors. Lots of natural light, a well appointed kitchen, plenty of towels for the whole family. The property and owners had an overall welcoming feel.
