This was a charming resort on Lake Champlain. We had a cabin with a lake view and wished we had booked more than one night. Even though we stayed on off season, we felt there was plenty to do and see. Staff were top notch, recommending an excellent restaurant in Middlebury when the resort restaurant was closed for a wedding. Highly recommended.

Cottage was perfect with a lake cove view. Adirondack chairs everywhere so you can watch the sunsets over the mountains to west. Gardens were beautiful! Make sure you hike the trails along the lake.

If you’ve ever wished you could go to a resort like Kellerman’s in the movie “Dirty Dancing”, this is the place! Accommodations are charming, the staff is friendly and helpful, and the views of the lake are gorgeous. No Patrick Swayze dance lessons but you can’t have everything.

There was only one restaurant available for dinner and we were seated next to an anniversary party of about 35 people with several young kids. The party should have been in a private dining area as it was really awkward being seated right next to them. While there was some humor in it (they brought us a piece of the cake) it spoiled our dinner. Additionally the food wasn’t great. My husband’s salmon was over cooked and my country pie was not made correctly so they comped it. Also, we made the hotel reservation through Expedia and selected the pet friendly amenity. I selected one of the room choices and was checked in to it when we arrived. I confirmed that we had a dog and was even given dog cookies. We went out for a walk and got several messages insisting that we come to the front desk as soon as possible. Turns out the room we had was in a building where they didn’t put people with dogs. After being told they were going to move us, and waiting outside (they don’t allow dogs in the lobby) they decided it would be ok for us to stay in the room but the dog couldn’t bark. Sheesh! I didn’t need the drama or the stress. The facilities and location were beautiful but not sure I’d go back given the operations.

The property is scenic, but the cabin was tiny and shabby and so overpriced. One redeeming thing was the abundance of activities and the wonderful dining experience.

Quiet, private, great location nestled in a protected harbor and Lake Champlain; nice swimming area in the Lake as well as a beautiful outdoor pool. Well-maintained golf course, dining options, even a "snack shack." 90 minute "shipwreck" cruise on the Lake was fun (underwater drone utilized to actually show us some of the 200 wrecks that litter the bottom of Lake Champlain). Our stay was made most wonderful by the awesome staff, most especially the front desk people who have great attitudes and a willingness to go out of their way to be helpful; all were amazing but especially Tanner and Zee! Thank you for making a first time visitor feel right at home!
