Escape to a bright 1-bed/2-bath hilltop contemporary with sweeping lake views -- the perfect retreat! Stroll down to the bay on this beautiful lake, then return to relax on the private deck or in the media corner with its fireplace. You may spy bald eagles or shooting stars, hear loons and barred owls, or watch a summer balloon launch from our field. Nearby: Bike the dramatic Lake Causeway, try Wally's Bagels or Blue Paddle Bistro, check Granny's Attic, sip wines at Snow Farm Vineyard. An hour to bustling Montreal or snowy Stowe, half hour to charming Burlington. A past state tourism brochure calls this hill's vista beckoning country. NOTE: Quiet housekeeper on first floor rear has separate entrance & suite; guests enjoy the roomy second floor. Nearest laundromat is 25-minute drive. No outdoor grilling, for fire safety; no pets. Nice cookware, nothing funky. All photos were taken at the property (except the paddle-boarder). Have you ever tried a Maple Creemee And ask about our picturesque Quebec retreat (for up to 12).

    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.

    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 was exactly as listed- photos do not do it justice. Just a very lovely, spacious and comfy place for us to base out of as we travelled to Stowe, Burlington and St. Albans and took in the spectacular foliage, road tripping thru the Vermont countryside. The view was enchanting. Night skies just phenomenal over Lake Champlain, especially from the deck. Loved every minute, would return in a heartbeat!

    What a perfect place for our vacation! The house faces east, and every morning as I walked from the bedroom and turned the corner, I was greeted by a beautiful view. Some mornings the orange sunrise warmed the whole space, and other days the white of fog gave the room a peaceful muted tone. If you are an early riser, this is the place for you. The mountains layered in curves above the water change as the light changes. It's a beautiful place to spend a week away.

    This home lived up to all that was promised but the best thing was the communication with the host. Peter communicated with me before and during the stay. He provided great information about the home and the area. We are already looking forward to coming back next year

    My husband and I loved this property. So comfortable and such amazing views. Great retreat. Our daughter joined us to relax and have dinner. We will be back.Peter was an amazing host. He was kind and helpful. I almost forgot that we lost power for a couple hours (along with 200 other people in South Hero). We will be back.

    The house is beautiful in an idyllic setting! There isn't much to do in the area but the setting and peaceful surroundings were perfect for our weekend getaway! Two Heroes Brewery was perfect for a relaxing afternoon. We also indulged in the huge portions of ice cream at Seb's - yum! Peter, the host, was super responsive to our needs. Thank you for letting us stay in your home!

    We had an incredible time on Hero Island. The location was great and easy to make trips into the Adirondacks, Stowe and Montreal while we were there. The owner was fantastic and kept an open line of communication. The property was just like the pictures! Would I stay there again......YES!

    Had the most amazing get away at Peter’s property. The location and view couldn’t have been any better. The amenities were more than we could have ever wished for and we hope to make plans again in the future. The cleanliness and attention to detail made the property homey and comfortable. The wildlife was amazing during the day and at night as well. Peter was a great host . If you’re thinking about staying here, just do it!!

    The home is beautiful, welcoming, clean and perfectly stocked for guests. This must see property, lake and expansive view of the mountains is breathtaking and provides an immediate sense of peace. We so appreciated being a part of nature seeing deer, rabbits and a fox on the property. This is a perfect location to retreat to while still being close enough to the Burlington area. Peter is a very responsive host - excellent communication. Peter's information before coming was accurate and easy to understand. The housekeeper is exceptionally nice, very quiet and there to help if needed. We will be returning to this wonderful retreat!
