Great location for Grandparents to spend time with the Grandkids

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.

Year 2!

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!

Lovely place for a family vacation. Enjoyed with 3 generations (the youngest were 7 months, 15 months, 4 and 6). Shallow lake area was perfect for the kids. Beds were comfortable. Sunsets beautiful. Highly recommended!

Perfect

The Big Yellow Camp was absolutely perfect for our stay in VT - enough room for our family of 4 (two teens) and extended family who joined us to experience everything that Burlington/VT have to offer. Idyllic setting on Lake Champlain, the house had everything we needed and more, including a traditional VT “Camp” vibe. Loved our stay and will be back!

Our amazing trip at the yellow camp!

We had a great time, could not beat the location. We didn’t have to drive anywhere to enjoy the beautiful lake.. The water was nice and shallow for the little kids but deep enough that the kids could kayak, canoe and paddleboard to their hearts content. We also enjoyed the nearby bike trails. John was accessible for any questions throughout our stay.

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!

Family vacation

There were 10 of us that thoroughly relaxed and enjoyed the yellow house. Location right on water was beautiful and spent time floating and swimming in crystal clear Lake Champlain. Camp was also close to bike trail and short car ride to Burlington shops and restaurants. Owner was very quick to respond to questions and camp had all of the furnishings necessary. Would highly recommend!

The Big Yellow. Camp

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.

Classic family camp on the beach!

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.

Everything was awesome

Chris the owner was incredibly helpful and fast with responses. The house was exceptionally clean. Right on the private beach in a quiet neighborhood. Plenty of room for multiple families (with adult children). The views from the house and beach were incredible, great kayaking, great night fire pit, great location (close enough to everything but far enough for plenty of quiet relaxation). Went to sleep and awoke to the sounds of the waves lapping on the shore. I really can’t say enough about Chris and the house…

You may find Heaven is at Colchester Point

Need to get away from the maddening crowds? Want to relax, sunbathe, read a book, or swim while enjoying magnificent views from the shore of Lake Champlain? Want to be lulled to sleep by the sound of the gentle waves of the Lake slapping at the sand? Camp Cunningham is calling you. Rustic charm and comfort located within a short drive to Burlington’s eclectic shops and restaurants. This is an excellent area for bicycling, hiking, kayaking and day trips to Stowe, The Vermont Teddy Bear Factory, and much more. Our visits there have always been memorable.
