Wonderful rustic camp
We picked this property because of its rustic nature as well as ability to host a large number of people. The views are absolutely amazing. We couldn’t get enough, hated to leave. We look forward to booking again in the future.

Classic Lakeside Camp
Our family had a wonderful time at this classic lakeside camp! We found it very clean, spacious, comfortable, well equipped, and charmingly rustic. Absolutely breathtaking views and very well situated with a short walk to the rail trail. Loved it!

Rustic? 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.

Great Place Right on the Lake
This was an incredible place right on Lake Champlain. The location could not be better. It feels very remote, yet you are 15 minutes from Burlington. Inside, it is rustic and very comfortable. Everything was neat and clean. In the main house you can easily fit 10 people with their own rooms. You can add another couple with a futon in the main room. The property management company was responsive and easy to deal with. Overall, when visiting Burlington, I highly recommend this place.

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!

Views Galore!
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!

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!!

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.

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!

Too rustic
Nice location but the property is too rustic and barebones for the price we paid. Most walls are unfinished and no insulation whatsoever. Suitable for summer trips without any kids.

Barney Point
Barney Point is a unique experience-a charmingly rustic home with ALL the amenities needed for a relaxing and fun vacation! The expansive views from the front deck, side screened-in porch, and back yard are stunning! You feel like you are in a very remote location, yet there are so many fun activities nearby. The world-famous Rail Trail bike path is just down the street-great for all fitness levels in the family!. We enjoyed sailing in Mallett's Bay, kayaking/swimming at North Beach, and eclectic Burlington/Winooski restaurants. Still, the highlight was relaxing at the house with the breeze and the gorgeous views-very therapeutic!

Summer 2019, Great family spot
Barney Point was everything my family loves about a summertime gathering spot! Rustic, yet comfortable! Wonderful views of the lake and mountains! Lots of room in the yard for kids to be kids, while adults relax and enjoy each other’s company on one of several decks or around the fire pit! Burlington VT is now one of our favorite spots and Barney Point is very close to all kinds of things to do! We hiked, biked, boated, dined and drank, all just a few minutes from the house! I would definitely recommend Barney Point to those looking to stay with extended family or friends.

beautiful views in a lovely rustic setting
This location was wonderful. The views were gorgeous!!! We enjoyed a fantastic evening around the fire pit with a lovely sunset, comfy chairs and great company. The camp is rustic which is charming and with all the modern conveniences you need. Great kitchen for a group to work in and a beautiful screened in porch with a huge table. We were there over Memorial Day weekend and it was a bit windy out there, but you can bundle up and enjoy the sounds of the water below and the wind in the trees in total privacy. It was a place I would come back to over and over if possible. The new deck was sunny and delightful. Tim arranged for me to come see the place in preparation for my family's arrival. I so appreciated that. I was able to share the history of the place which added to the charm as well as plan for location of family members and children. Thank you so much Tim. Five stars for sure.

Perfect spot for Family Reunion!
Beautiful, peaceful location on the shores of Lake Champlain. "Camp" was a great place for our family reunion / college graduation celebration with friends. Amazing sunsets by the outdoor fire, family dinner gatherings on the screened porch, and lovely walks on the nearby Causeway were just a few of the highlights of our stay. Thank you, Tim and family, for sharing your special home-away-from-home with us. We loved our time at Barney Point!

Amazing views
We had the most wonderful weekend at the Barney Point Camp! The camp itself is so charming and a great representation of Vermont. The views are amazing and the sunsets are breath taking. There is a little walking bath to a private beach and although it was a little too chilly to swim we enjoyed just walking the sandy beach. The owner was extremely helpful and so nice to work with. If you are looking a long weekend getaway or a summer vacation close to the water for a very reasonable price I recommend staying at the Barney Point Camp!
