My mother stayed here the whole month of June, and was so very happy with this place! The location is beautiful, close to the market, easy to get around. She had her small dog with her too which was great for her to bring with her. The owners are fabulous and they did everything they could to make the stay as great as possible. Couldn't say nicer things about them. :)

South Hero Haven

Absolutely gorgeous setting with spectacular lake views . Modern efficiency and privacy. Close to everything magical about the Champlain Islands, because your nestled in the heart of them. Snow farm down the road was spectacular, even the convenience store a couple miles away can provide anything you might have forgotten. Best value of any overnight stay I have ever had. It's like being in the middle of nowhere, yet having everything.

Quiet / relaxing pet friendly retreat

We enjoyed a perfect quiet long weekend getaway celebrating our 30th Anniversary at this charming guesthouse. Don and Perky, our gracious hosts, communicated well prior to the stay and greeted us with fresh tasty apple turnovers and a welcoming overview of the area. When they learned we loved coffee and had brought our own they told us where to find a drip coffee maker, in addition to the Keurig (with K-cups) that had been laid out. This dog-friendly property is located on peaceful South Hero Rd which is a bicyclist's paradise(low traffic, tree-lined, flat, with wonderful views of the water and plenty of picturesque farmland). This wonderful property was comfortable, tastefully decorated, and well-equipped. The kitchen provided everything we needed(plenty of pots and pans, oil, basic seasoning) to prepare the tasty fresh produce we picked up at the pet-friendly Burlington Farmers Market (Saturday's 9:30-2 PM). We particularly enjoyed walking the Champlain Island causeway, a beautiful, water-lined, car-free, rail trail beginning a few miles from the house. If you do stay here we highly recommend Wally's Place(3 miles away) for a breakfast bite (great breakfast sandwiches and pastries) and Two Hero Brewing (1.4 miles away) - tasty micro-brews with friendly staff. Hope to come back someday with our bikes.

Perfect little house for our weeklong stay! Had everything we needed. Wanted to stay longer. Access to lake allowed us to enjoy some beautiful sunsets with a glass of wine in hand. Perfect proximity to everything we wanted to see and do in the area. Don and Perky were very welcoming and made the stay that much more enjoyable. We will be back!

This property is truly special. Staying in this lovely guesthouse for 2 weeks right at the shore of Lake Champlain was idyllic, relaxing and rejuvenating. The house has everything one would need, and is situated off of a lovely country road which provides lovely scenic walks. I felt welcome immediately by my hosts and cannot wait to return soon!

Snow storm

We come up for a long weekend despite a forecasted snow storm, and thoroughly enjoyed hunkering down in this sweet space. Don and Perky were lovely hosts, ensuring our kids had plenty of storm entertainment and making great local recommendations. Thanks for a great stay!

Lovely spot

Comfortable cottage for a long weekend stay with our two dogs. The cottage was spacious, well appointed, very clean, and comfortably furnished. The yard was large enough to exercise our dogs and the street was quiet for morning walks. Best tip: go to The Blue Paddle for great food. Their motto is: it's all about the dog!

Most amazing vacation house

We were delighted in every way to arrive at this charming, and well appointed cottage. It was beautifully designed, and filled with everything anyone would need to feel at home, and from there enjoy all that Grand Isles has to offer, including private access to the lake and kayak. Thank you so much to Don and Perky for your hospitality.

Been here the past few years and never grow tired of the place and area. Biking, water activities and just plain relaxing by the lake. Don and Perky are great hosts and maintain a beautiful property. We are glad to be able to share and enjoy with them.

Special birthday and Mothers Day get away!

We loved staying at Don and Perry’s guest house on the lake. The guest house is very comfortable and well done. There is so much to do on the beautiful islands and surrounding areas. We hiked, visited the fish hatchery, Shelburne Museum and a ride up to Canada. Sitting by the lake at night watching the sunset was a perfectly relaxing way to end our day. A special treat was the phenomenal Northern lights that happened when we were there! We definitely recommend the guest house and would love to come back.
