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 weâd definitely use the kayaks and bikes. Loved our stay at Blue Camp!!!
The property was amazing and the decor made it feel very homey. Its location is in proximity to a lot businesses and recreational chances. Thank you for an amazing stay!!
I canât say better things about my stay at the Blue Camp. My mom and I had a mother daughter trip here in late September. itâs 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.
Cozy & rustic lake house with amazing views & access to the lake! Great location to enjoy downtown Burlington, accessing great hiking trails & Stowe, VT within an hour. Host super responsive& helpful. We canât wait to come back!
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 donât 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 had a great stay in the blue house. John was a great host and the location was perfect. Even when we had rain sitting on the screened in deck was so relaxing. Def will come back and recommend to anyone looking!
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.
We loved Johnâs cabin. Well equipped with everything we could need plus so much more. The location on the bay was perfect and our dogs loved the property. John was very thoughtful and prepared the rental for our arrival; when we arrived the fire was going the lights were on and music was playing. Our only regret was that we didnât make it to the basement until the last day; donât miss out on the fun like we did.
This cabin was truly the perfect getaway. The decor is lovely, the rooms are quaint, and the area is gorgeous. The biggest highlight is the porch facing the lake with the rocking chairs - you want to spend all day there. Highly recommend a stay here.
What a cool old cabin! John was always responsive leading up to our stay and very kindly had the heater on for us since it was pretty cold and we arrived a few hours later than we planned due to a storm. Hope to come back again and for a longer stay to spend more time in the area and on the lake!
I traveled to Vermont with my 17-year-old son mostly to look at university of Vermont but also just to enjoy being back in Vermont. I lived in Vermont for a few years 25 years ago. This was absolutely the perfect place for a visit. The screened in porch is amazing and the view of Malletts Bay so wonderful. We lucked out beautiful weather, but I think I would enjoy staying in this little cabin just as much with thunderstorms and snow storms using the woodstove and being cozy playing games. John is so friendly and helpful in every aspect. This is a charming place in a wonderful location and I highly recommend.
What a wonderful, well taken care of place for relaxation and recreation! So well equipped with anything you would ever want or need, even Canoes and Bicycles, lounge chairs and ping pong table, etc.
Gorgeous view onto the water, from the beautiful and very large screened in porch, with enough privacy to feel comfortable!
John, the owner, was quickly available when needed, helpful and friendly!
All was so nicely organized and clean.
Would definitely come back again!
Great location too, close to many good walking paths, restaurants and stores, even a Drive In Movie Theater.
Thank you, John, for making this unique camp
available to all those who need âsome time away from it allâ and a
âhome away from homeâ!
Peaceful lake retreat in well-stocked rustic rental, pet friendly, close to Burlington...
The gorgeous view from the large, lovely screened in porch above the lake was where we spent the majority of our time. Also enjoyed the two-person kayaks to venture out on the lake, swimming (with our dog), and the four bicycles to explore the nearby bike paths and the surrounding area. If you enjoy biking, take the ride to Burlington; it's a great way to spend a day. The accommodations are somewhat rustic, but everything is in good working order and convenient to stores and restaurants and Burlington, less than 15 minutes by car. We had a very enjoyable, relaxing stay enjoying the outdoors in this great location!
