AMAZING hosts! Debbie & Mark are beyond generous & kind, and we are so grateful they shared their wonderful guest home for our weekend on the east coast.
Debbie went above and beyond to make our stay great. The house was clean, comfortable, and well equipped. Beautifully situated on a point over looking Lake Champlain.
I would like to live there, I already mentioned that to the owners, best place to stay!!!! I will be staying there for all the times I go to Vermont.....
We have stayed here before. Relaxing, peaceful setting overlooking Lake Champlain. The owner is very accommodating. The cottage is clean, comfortable and inviting. The surrounding Vermont countryside is beautiful. Accommodations great! We will be back again next year!
Debbie was a great host. She greeted us on our arrival and had generously stocked us with groceries and a yummy homemade coffee cake. The cute little place was spacious and cozy with a beautiful outdoor space with the view of the lake. It was a great location to our daughter’s house in Middlebury, her wedding venue in Bridport and to Basin Harbor for the rehearsal dinner. We were extremely pleased with our stay.
the hostess barbra was fantastic. the whole stay from beginning to end was perfect i couldn’t ask for any better i diffinitly will be coming back i have stayed at a lot of places this place was by far the best
We thiroughly enjoyed our stay. Deb and Mark were welcoming toward us. Deb provided us with all the necessary amenities and dome doecisl treats. The views are amazing and the cottage was so comfy!!
THE most thoughtful hosts ever. Beautiful setting on the shores of Lake Champlain. Everything and more that you’ll need for a great stay. We would happily return!
From the communication before our stay, to the warm welcome and thoughtful extras provided throughout our visit, we truly felt like honored guests. The lovely cottage provided a cozy retreat after busy days of sightseeing, guided by Debbie's thoughtful suggestions. The peaceful location in a beautiful setting on Lake Champlain provided the perfect base for exploring this area of Vermont. This combined with Debbie's generous hospitality made for an exceptional stay. Can't wait to return!
The hostess was there to meet us.
The rental was supplied with the most complete range of foods and beverages that we had ever encountered in a B&B.
The cottage is quiet, cozy, and the location is charming.
Excellent gluten-free coffee cake!
Thoroughly enjoyed our stay from the moment we arrived until the time we left. Debbie and Mark are gracious hosts! Delicious coffee cakes and beautiful views of Lake Champlain started our mornings off just the right way. We will definitely return next summer. Thank you.
Our stay was quite hospitable. It is a beautiful, peaceful area.
A huge thank you to Debbie. She was so thoughtful to ask and supply some food and drinks for us, especially after a long drive.
We loved the cinnamon cake!
Thank you!
We just wanted to thank you Debbie, for such a marvelous place to spend some quiet time. Your thoughtfulness and supplying everything we needed was just remarkable!! The location was just amazing with an incredible view of the lake on 3 sides of the property!!! Your home was lovely too! We will be returning for another visit in the near future :-) Thanks for EVERYTHING !!!!!
We couldn't have asked for a more wonderful place to stay for our vacation. The Guest House is perfect in every way. We were treated like family! Debbie went over and beyond to provide a sanctuary for our vacation. The location is quiet and peaceful. The fishing is great... my husband caught a huge largemouth from shore just ten minutes after we arrived! Debbie's coffee cake was supreme! We will definitely be back next year!
The reviews on here are all accurate. My husband and I had a wonderful stay at this Guest House. Debbie and Mark are very warm and friendly owners. Debbie’s attention to detail is evident from the moment you walk in the door to this lovely cottage. Bed linens and towels were clean and plush. All the groceries she purchased were products I would of picked out for my own family. Oh and believe the hype, Debbie’s homemade coffee cake is scrumptious. Restaurants and attractions are between 20 minutes to 45 minutes away. Perfect location on the lake.
The "Guest House" is everything it appears to be online, plus! It is a totally relaxing cottage, with outstanding views of Lake Champlain. This cozy space, with its welcoming decor, beautiful knotty pine and comfy furnishings, was all we had hoped for, and more.
The hosts are A-1 and our advice is to "just say yes" to the coffee cake! It was yummy. During our stay all systems were in tiptop shape (WIFI, TV, plumbing, etc.) and the climate control options handled extra warm (80s in May!) and chilly (low 40s), equally well.
The owners are gracious, very helpful and friendly.
This location is rural lakefront Vermont at its finest! If you do not know the area, plan ahead and bring your favorites with you. If you know rural living, Pratt's Store is close by (15 minute drive) and had surprisingly good produce (for May), as well as other essentials.
We have already booked our next visit.
We had a great time at Debbie's guest house. It's right by the lake Champlain. We loved watching the sunset from the garden swingset. Would love to visit again
