Lakeside cottage w/ mountain views, canoes, firepit, enclosed porch, bbq, beach

Our family of 12 (boomer siblings and their significant others) from across the country gathered to share a week together. This rustic camp provided a comfortable space with a fabulous beach setting. Bedrooms are small but comfortable, plenty of nooks and gathering spaces. . Surprisingly, the 1.5 bathrooms for 12 people was ok - the outdoor shower helped make it work. We will hope to return next year. It was a great experience for a family returning to their Vermont roots. VACASSA was responsive to my questions and contacts as we prepared for our camp time. Thank you!

This was our second year staying at the Big Yellow Camp. Another wonderful week. The check in process was easy, the owners are always available and very helpful. The house has so much character, it feels like home. We enjoyed the space and were very comfortable with 12 adults and three kids age 6 months - 4 years old. You cannot beat the view and beach access!

Location was awesome with a beautiful beach right outside the door. The playground at the airport park made for a nice change of pace when the kids needed a change of pace and it was a quick drive to downtown Burlington for great meals and a trip to the ECHO science museum.

We stayed at Chris's camp the week of our wedding and it was exactly as advertised, a great spot right on the beach! it definitely gets WARM and would benefit from AC, the fans in the windows did help tremendously. We had to remind people about the fans, screened windows and breezes and getting in the lake to cool down. Folks just aren't used to finding the non-AC ways to cool themselves anymore. Make sure to are taking advantage of the breeze and getting in the lake if you are staying in the summer to keep cool. Great spot for a classic summer vacation.

Seven friends since high school have been gathering during the summer for many, many years. Of late, we’ve been renting this wonderful rustic camp on the lake, maybe for the past seven years. We grew up in the area, and this is the type of camp we prefer — lots of wood, cozy, authentic, and extremely well equipped. The location cannot be beat. Excellent in every way.

The views of Lake Champlain were spectacular. The front living room and dining room with window to window panoramic view of the lake and close proximity to the water sometimes felt that we lived on a houseboat without the downside of any rocking. The house was clean, rustic and soulful. Mattresses and linens were clean and comfortable. The two canoes with paddles and vests were a delight. Wifi, television with streaming worked perfectly, but the available hands-on games led to comradery and spirt of the “camp” led us to even play “charades” with the entire extended family including teenagers. The kitchen had all necessary amenities, but bring your teenagers to help with washing the dishes. The “camp” was so fun we did not miss any automatic dishwasher. Two bathrooms for nine of us worked out well and the outdoor shower was sublime.

We had a wonderful time.

The location of this house cannot be beat. The neighborhood is beautiful, neighbors were all very nice. The owners were very responsive, kind and overly accommodating. The house is very spacious, we stayed with 12 adults and 2 children and never felt like we were on top of each other. We have already booked again for next year!

We had a wonderful week at the Big Yellow Camp! The location and the beautiful scenery was amazing! Our family gathered from five different states and the cottage was perfect! Thank you Cunningham Family!

Sandy beach was a huge hit! The camp provides 2 large sun umbrellas with stands, many different types of sand chairs and plastic Adirondack chairs for our beach experience. We enjoyed using one of the two canoes. Life vests of various sizes were available. We had 2 fires in the fire-pit at night. Kindling available on the beach and we brought a few logs for burning. There are essentially 2 living areas plus the kitchen and 6 bedrooms. We spent most of our inside time on the porch overlooking the water and in the dining area either eating or playing games. Many of us utilized the outdoor shower, which looks new and had a basket to put clothes in so they wouldn't get wet. Window fans in the bedrooms were super helpful as a couple of our evenings were quite warm. Chris was easily accessible by phone and helpful. We would definitely return for a family vacation in the future! Thank you, Chris!
