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.

Clean, comfortable and great location!
Don & Perky were wonderful hosts and we really enjoyed our stay. It was a great location for our day trips to Burlington & Quebec. The guesthouse was clean and comfortable and we were lucky to spend the day there and observe the eclipse over the lake, avoiding the crowds.

Nice Quiet Stay on Lake Champlain in Grand Isle!
Really enjoyed my stay at Don and Perky’s cabin! Everything was perfect. Nice and quiet, clean, modern kitchen and bathroom, and in a beautiful area on Lake Champlain. Proximity to Burlington, the Ferry, and other area treasures was nice. I hope to return again in the future.

Great little bungalow on South Hero
Exceptionally clean and comfortable bungalow on Lake Champlain. Had everything we needed for our stay; just had to buy groceries a few minutes away at Keeler Bay. Met the owner, Don, who was very nice and welcoming. Highly recommend his place!

Beautiful home.
We had a wonderful stay here. The home is lovely, quiet, close to the lake, well appointed and comfortable. The breeze coming through the windows. Sunsets down by the lake. The hosts were very attentive, and they shared the bounty of their garden ~ herbs and tomatoes. I wish we could return, but even if we don't, we'll cherish the days we spent there.

The property is on Champlain Lake and we were able to use the kayaks. The area was very peaceful and we met the owner who helped us with some places to drive to north of the area. I would stay again, it was a nice clean house.

Even with rain and smoke - a delightful break!
Sometimes you just need a comfy cabin for a workation on days when the outside environment doesn't comply with your desires. All the amenities are top-notch, and the lake sunsets and kayaks are just a short walk. Don and Perky are fantastic hosts.

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.
