About this cottage rental

Wake up to gentle breezes and the sound of lapping waves against the beach, relax over coffee on the glassed dining porch or snuggle on the comfy couch on the enclosed front porch just steps from a sandy beach and the waters of Lake Champlain. Plan your day of relaxation: Take a canoe out (we have two), be a "beach walker or sitter", bike to Burlington or along the causeway viewing the Islands via the Burlington Bike path. Hiking trails, tennis courts, children's play area, soccer fields, basketball courts, horseshoe pits, and more are nearby at Colchester's Airport Park (one mile away). Relax, enjoy, and make memories to last a lifetime. Welcome to our rustic family lake cottage - the perfect base camp to go forth and explore this beautiful area of Vermont.

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.

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!
