Campfire at Sunset
Cool bug-less fall evenings are a great time for campfires along the shore of Lake Champlain. Bring your marshmallows!
Sunrises as Beautiful as Sunsets!
One of the advantages of fall coming is that you don’t have to get up too early to see gorgeous sunrises! This picture is taken looking back toward the misty morning meadow behind the cottages.
Summer Water Activities in Full Gear!
A nice view of our waterfront, with canoe and kayak on the beach, and a guest’s boat on our mooring. Guests this week have been fully enjoying summer water activities!
Come and enjoy Harvest and Foliage Season in Vermont!
Autumn, with its colorful foliage, apple picking, and vegetable harvest, is a great time to experience Vermont! September has warm days that are perfect for boating and bike riding to nearby farm-stands and apple orchards, and cool nights with great star-gazing potential. October brings colorful foliage, and the harvest of pumpkins and other winter vegetables. And, of course, we have amazing sunsets year-round!

Smallmouth bass fishing season is almost here! (Copy)
Get ready to pack up your boat, head north, and enjoy the quality smallmouth bass fishing offered by beautiful Lake Champlain! The ice is melting, and there are hopeful signs of spring everywhere. We can’t wait to see our fishing friends again. We were pleased some of you even came for a second visit last fall with your spouses, who enjoyed some quiet time in our lovely setting while you were out fishing. Social distancing at its best!

Fall Foliage 2019
The foliage is really peaking now. It is a beautiful time of year to come here and enjoy great sunsets, sunrises and amazing foliage.
Fall Fire on the Beach
We had a great time sitting by a fire watching the sunset and the sky change to twilight and then the stars appearing. All of this between 6:30 and 9:00PM. One of the advantages to shorter days!!

Sunset during a severe thunderstorm
As the severe weather alert came over the radio, I looked out the windows to see this sunset in the middle of a thunderstorm. We still have some open dates in July and August. Check out our calendar and book a getaway where magic can happen.
I couldn’t get the lightning bolts, but what an amazing sunset.
Somebody’s getting wet
After a nice sunset this rain cloud appeared north of us.
Dogs Love it Here...
This pup discovered that our hayfield can be lots of fun and with 45 acres of land there are plenty of places to have fun.
Every time I watch this it makes me laugh.
