Guest Reviews
- Marilyn (10/5): We loved the Valcour Inn - Everything was so nice we didn't want to leave! Laura was an amazing hostess. The peaceful patio was a favorite. The views were so beautiful. We can't wait to go back!!
- James (8/5): - Most everything was excellent. Exceptions, 1) our mattress was atrocious! We rolled to the middle and our backs are killing us this morning. If not for that we would have probably given 5s across the board, but the mattress ended up coloring everything else. 2) We suggest some breakfast items with protein as well as some savory bread. Most everything was sweets.
- Linda (10/5): - We loved the view of Lake Champlain and the quietness of the area. There was an event going on one night but they were gone by the time we returned around 7:30. Continental breakfast was good. The bed was very comfortable and the bathroom very clean and roomy for two people. I would return!
- Juanita (10/5): - Nice quiet get away place. Beautiful porch that opens from your room to sit and enjoy a sunset or start the day with coffee and a sunrise looking out over the lake. Rooms are good size and comfortable. Amenities were available as needed. Highly recommend!
- Angela Curtis (10/5): - Michael was great to work with on a need we had. He was pleasant, timely, and accommodating. Excellent place to stay. The bed was clean and comfortable, and the room was cool in the summer. It had a small fridge, microwave, basic kitchen needs, a convection plate, and a sink with some dishes and glasses. We would stay there again in a heartbeat!
- Jim (10/5): - The only negative is that they did not have facial tissue anywhere. Allergy season...
- Robert (10/5): a most picturesque hotel at an historic site - the "pre-packaged" Breakfast was "convenient" but really the kind of breakfast available in a convenience store at a petrol station. Packaged food swee4t bun, a stale and dry orange (inedible), decent Yoghurt, mediocre coffee in a box for each guest, and no interior dining room (just outdoor terrace too cold for comfort. But the location is SUPERB, overlooking the lake and A SPACIOUS terrace balcony facing the site of one of the most crucial battles of the American Revolution that stopped the British invasion of Lake Champlain and helped ensure American vistory at Saratoga the foloiwing year.
- Sonya (10/5): - We got married here 3 years ago and now have an almost 2 year old and was able to take a night off!
- Stephanie (10/5): - I loved the easy people free check in. We didn’t see a soul the entire stay. Beautiful covered porch off of the room overlooking Lake Champlain. Coffee, tea and snacks right outside the door.
- Verified traveler (4/5): Disappointing - This room has a 100% view of the parking lot, no partial lake view. The bed is uncomfortably soft. The shower door doesn't close well enough to keep the water from the bathroom floor. It's a lovely setting but not good value overall.
- David (4/5): - Could not get on WiFi did not get reply when asked for help
- Douglas (4/5): - No swimming available.
- Nicholas (10/5): - Beautiful location right on the water, neat old inn
- Doreen (10/5): - This is unique, well kept, historic property with all of the modern amenities. We attended a wedding of a family member over the Labor Day weekend. Views are stunning, facility in very good condition, quiet, and easily reached, via rail, air or car. The wedding food was good, but again cooking in a boathouse has to be a challenge. All in all it was a fabulous venue for a large gathering.
- Lynn (10/5): - Valcour Inn was an unexpected gem. The waterfront property with gorgeously maintained grounds was a wonderful place to relax and recharge. With only a few rooms it was always peaceful and quiet. I have no plans in that immediate area but will go again just to stay at this establishment
- Anne (10/5): - Beautiful setting on the lake. I missed having a concierge to check us in. It felt less welcoming to come and go without interacting with anyone.
- Fabio (8/5): - Great location to relax and unwind. Both the Inn and its surroundings are kept in very good condition. Unfortunately, it is not meant for travellers without an internet or phone connection, as there is no personnel to greet you upon arrival. We struggled with the access code, as we did not receive instructions prior to our arrival. Luckily, the boathouse was open and we got help from them. There was dust, lint and dead bugs in the room. Not a big deal for us, but worth mentioning so management can take action. The mornings become noisy, as the cleaning staff start early their activities. Adjustment to these observations would make for a great place to stay.
- Leslie (10/5): - Beautiful property, clean and comfortable room. It is a historic building, so there is not a lot of toiletry space. We loved the availability of water and coffee and ice at all hours, that was a wonderful amenity, and you could not beat the view! Just gorgeous! Close drive to Ausable Chasm (why we were there) and to many restaurants. Would definitely stay again! Thank you!
- John (10/5): Paradise along lake Champlain. - I had amazingly comfortable time at the Valcour Inn and Boathouse. This is the first time that I stayed at a property where I had zero interaction with a property employee. At first a was a bit hesitant because I thought, what if I need something? I didn’t need anything. Everything I wanted was there for me and I slept like a baby every night.
- Frederick M (4/5): - The stay itself was fine… it was dealing with hotels.com that was absolutely terrible!! I couldn’t get into my room for more than an hour… conversed with two different “virtual agents” who were essentially worthless… one gave me a nine digit code to get into the room… didn’t work.. the second sent me two emails confirming my stay… worthless!! Thankfully there was a maintenance man that saw me fretting about getting into the room and he offered his help and got the code needed to get into the room … which happened to be 4 digits, not 9!! I will never use hotels. I’m again to reserve a room for lodging. This Inn has no staff at the site. And did not respond to either of my two phone calls concerning not being able to get into room. And the hotels.com app couldn’t connect to site, so really is worthless!
- Robyn (10/5): - Absolutely stunning views from the room. Beautiful building with great touches of tea and coffee always available. So quiet and peaceful
- April (10/5): - The property was great! Peaceful location. Our intention had been to hike and found ourselves to be a bit further from the Adirondack hiking trails than we thought. Not much going on in Plattsburgh in the evenings. Seemed everything closed early.
- Michele (10/5): - Beautiful property. Room was large and the amenities were beyond our expectations.
- Mégan (10/5): - Super clean and comfortable!
- Frank (10/5): - Nice, quaint place that was close to our destination: Ausable Chasm. Grounds were beautiful, rooms were cute and clean. The property is remote which was fine for us
- Rich (10/5): - Beautiful old home
- JENNY (10/5): Beautiful room, beautiful views - Wow, what a great room! Massive, beautifully decorated, quiet, and a big balcony overlooking the lake. Cleanest hotel ever! Only downside is the boxed breakfast, mostly not good. But otherwise perfect,
- Alisa (10/5): - The grounds are beautiful and the rooms are lovely and comfortable. The continental breakfast products were top quality and diligently replenished. Staff was very friendly.
- Petita (10/5): - View is breath tsking
- david (10/5): - Very nice property. Rooms are great
- anthony (10/5): - Except for some repairs that were promptly made, the room was comfortable. Our stay lived up to the promised service.
- Karl (8/5): - Great location and view. Checked in...sheet left on table and never saw anyone from facility. Breakfast was stuff left in refrigerator or on counter.
- Lorraine (6/5): - Beautiful view from the balcony of our room (#3). Our room had a queen n double. The beds needed some updating, so I was glad I got 2 beds instead of just one. The room was spacey but the bathroom small. When I the bathroom there was a loud noise. They had a small refrigerator that had Almond Milk in it and no shelves. Then they had a large cooler that you could see inside it without opening the doors. They supplied juice and creamers, cream cheese and butter.We used one shelf for our dinner that we brought back to eat later. We had dinner on the lower balcony that had round table and chairs. It was fine until a mouse came around and under the table. I know it was outside but not something I wanted to see why eating. So when you check in there is a table by the door where you will find a sheet with your instructions and code. On the second floor in the hallway is a table that has dishes and coffee pot and tea pot. On the other side is bagels under a covered that everyone takes from plus another container of muffins (that were Hugh). The best part was the view. Down the street was a boating launch where we saw lighthouse across the water. That was what our trip was about lighthouses. The thing I didn’t care much about was customer service nobody was there but per the instruction was phone call away. No check in before 4pm.
- Michael (8/5): - Beautiful well kept grounds and view of the lake.
- Michael (10/5): - I loved the setting and the history. The grounds were well kept and what a view. The outside of the building could use some work as paint was visibly peeling all over. However, our room was lovely and well decorated. I didn't see a staff member while we were there, but didn't need to seek anyone out so that was fine. All in all, a great stay. Couldn't believe when we first got there that we seemed to be the only ones (more came later)..
- Michael (8/5): - Beautiful location, convenient continental breakfast, Rooms very close. Other guests were very audible.
- Eric (10/5): - View of Lake Champlain outstanding and quiet
- John (10/5): - Post card views from the back patio
- Mark (10/5): - Beautiful and unique place to stay, it’s like being in a massive mansion!
- Yan (8/5): - Bathrooms are separate from the bedroom. Have to go through a “common” hallway on the way to and from. This is extremely inconvenient. On the positive side: well-located and great view.
- ZBIGNIEW (10/5): - locations
- Susan (10/5): - Beautiful old inn and great location. Only 8 minutes from the Ausable Chasm, a must-see!
- Anindita (8/5): - Beautiful space, quiet and quaint. Mr. Moussa is very affable and kind host. Jessica is super helpful. Thank you for making our trip wonderful!
- Verified traveler (10/5): Beautiful place for your stay - Wonderful property, that was clean, comfortable and quiet. Excellent service too. I would return to this property.
- Thomas (10/5): - A rare find! The Inn is located on the lake with great views. Room was nice but wifi was limited (this was only a problem because cell phone coverage sparse). We caught a beautiful sunrise on our last day. Highly recommend!!
- William (8/5): - Beautiful old Inn. Continues to be a work in progress. Inn keeper very attentive and eager to please.
- Melissa (10/5): - Beautiful - comfortable- clean - quiet. The rooms are fantastic with a view of Lake Champlain from your balcony, or you can walk the 20 ft to the shoreline. Super comfortable beds and so quiet. I wish to stay many more times!!!!
- Sharon (10/5): - Great place with kind hosts
- Michael (10/5): - Valcour Inn is unique and special. Room and location was perfect and the view was wonderful. The manager was informative and helpful and a delight to chat with. Very much looking forward to returning to enjoy the comforts the Valcour has to offer.
- Dana (2/5): - Location was terrific. Place was nice. Unfortunately the manager/innkeeper was horrible. After I called from a 10 hour drive to ensure arriving at 10:30 pm was okay, she assured me it was no problem and that I would have a key and welcome letter waiting for me in the lobby. When I arrived, there were neither. Nor was there any way to reach her; she did not pick up the phone after I frantically called. My daughter and I finally guessed one of the building on site was her living quarters, so we went over (by now well after 10:30 at night). There was no doorbell but we banged on the door. About 10 minutes later after I phoned again, she picked up, saying she heard me bang on her door. She came over and gave us a room; apparently someone else had come and taken the key and taken our room; the good news was, we got a better room with a balcony overlooking the lake. I thought, okay, we'll move on but that morning at breakfast, she insulted me in front of other guests by (incredibly) claiming she wasn't expecting me because I had arrived on the wrong date, that my reservation was for the following day. I showed her my Expedia confirmation showing she was wrong. Then again embarrassing me in front of other guests, she had the gall to claim my credit card was denied. I pulled up my CC app & showed her that again, she was wrong, my payment had gone through the day I reserved the reservation. This would have been a lovely place to stay; regretfully her rudeness & incompetence ruined it.
- Laura (10/5): - The grounds are absolutely thrilling and beautiful. The innkeeper is very friendly and helped us find activities that didn't require lots of hiking to accommodate our abilities.
- Gregory (10/5): - The Inn has a wonderful location as it is on Lake Champlain and, on a clear day, one can see the Green Mts. of Vermont across the lake. The Inn is a large, older building with a huge parking lot as it is also used as a conference center. Our room was upstairs with a lake view with a fireplace, beautiful hardwood floors, very nice bed, etc. There is a coffee station down the hall for use anytime, but coffee is part of what they call a continental breakfast, but it is actually more elaborate than that. They recommended Anthony's restaurant for dinner and we liked it so much we ate there both evenings of our stay.
- Karen (8/5): - Utterly charming property. The innkeeper was kind, breakfast was satisfying, and the view cannot be beat around Lake Champlain. Definitely not appropriate for business travel (I had to search for a place to charge my phone), but perfect for a romantic weekend getaway.
- stefani (6/5): - The location of the Inn on Lake Champlain makes this Inn very special. There are a few upgrades the Inn could use to make it even more enticing.
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Great location
- Verified traveler (8/5): - lovely lake view, very comfortable bed
