Starry Ridge was exactly as described. It was clean, well appointed, comfortable and the views of the lake were incredible. Our host, Peter, was responsive and check in was easy. We were very impressed with this rental.
The house itself was beautiful and comfortable. The view from the house was spectacular. It was a great place to stay while visiting our daughter and her family in Colchester. It was a wonderfully relaxing oasis to return to after hectic days with the young grandchildren. I would happily stay there again, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a beautiful and quiet spot.
Peter’s place was great! Beautiful views of Lake Champlain. Was a great outpost from which to enjoy time in nearby Burlington and day hiking in the Green Mountains.
This property is beautiful!
Nice house position with lots of huge windows providing terrific views of the lake.
The owner (Peter) was great at responding and communicating with us before and during our stay.
Gorgeous views of the lake from a beautiful great room! Bed was comfy, kitchen fully equipped, and check in procedures were very clear! We loved exploring Vermont from the island. I can’t stress enough the stunning views in floor to ceiling windows facing the lake! We spent hours enjoying the views!!
The home is clean and modern with an open plan, amazing artwork and lots of windows with amazing views to the bay and Green Mountains. We biked the causeway and visited Montreal and Burlington. I highly recommend this rental.

Thank you for your kind review, Louise, nice to have you with us.
Starry Ridge is amazing! The house is architecturally stunning, is clean and beautifully decorated throughout. The kitchen is well-stocked and a pleasure to cook in. The view is beyond a 5-stars; it is an unobstructed view of a green field, Lake Champlain, and the Green Mountains. It was difficult to leave this special place when our time was up.....if we lived on the East Coast I would be tempted to return multiple times a year. Thank you to the owners.
The view on Lake Champlain is magnificent.
The owner is quick with communication.
The kitchen is very well equipped.
The entertainment system is top notch.
Do not hesitate, book this lovely place and enjoy!
We are return visitors - both this stay and out last were relaxing and restorative. The home is exactly as pictured, incredible lake views included. Although Grand Island is probably a less popular location in the winter, we think its incredibly peaceful while still being just a short drive to Burlington. The radiant floor heating, fireplace, puzzle table and huge windows made this a great, cozy retreat.
This stay was absolutely incredible. Peter’s information before coming was accurate and easy to understand. The property was thoughtfully stocked with access to amazing amenities. The view was outstanding. The place was clean and relaxing. We would love to stay again!
Wife and I stayed for almost a week.. and the place was outstanding. Beautiful location right on Lake Champlain.. The owner was very helpful while covering almost every detail in his instructions. We’d definitely love to return one day!
What more can i say besides all the other rave reviews? Top notch in every single aspect: location, booking, communication, quality of home, cleanliness. Absolute perfect experience and we will definitely be back!

Appreciate your kind words, glad all was enjoyable!
Home is true to photos on listing. I was seeking peace and quiet and I found it in South Hero. I love the island community. Everyone I met was friendly and helpful. I would stay here again and again.
Stunning location with panoramic views. Quiet and peaceful yet within easy distance of shops, garage and several nice restaurants. Very comfortable and well equipped. Great host, very helpful. Highly recommended.
