Everything about this Inn was great. It is run to a high standard and is very welcoming. It is a step across the road to the waterfront, and very peaceful and tranquil.

All the staff were friendly and we enjoyed talking to staff and owners in the bar before dinner. The food was excellent. It was hard to choose but we had: salmon, tomato, mushroom and asparagus linguine (superb); bread salad; half rack of lamb; pork steak; crème brulee and maple syrup cheesecake. The choice of wines was good.

Our room (301) was beautifully furnished and decorated with a lovely bathroom – clawfoot bathtub that filled instantly and a separate (great) shower. The bedroom had a cosy chair and window seat - where you can sit and look out at Lake Champlain - the bed was supremely comfortable, and the room had an alarm clock/radio with i-pod dock. There was an understated elegance that made the place fantastically welcoming as well as chic.

The sitting room was well-furnished and very peaceful considering it combined the reception area too. It was nice to sit and read in here with a tray of tea and cakes.

The Hero’s Welcome general store (with post office attached) is worth a visit, as is the craft shop between there and the hotel (all a short walk). We only stayed one night (wish it had been longer), so can’t give an impression of activities for visitors who do stay longer, but it did seem, from what we saw on the drive, and information leaflets at the hotel, that there is plenty to do both on and off the water.

  • Liked — High standards of accommodation and food, with attention to details
  • Disliked — That we only stayed one night!

We stayed in North Hero House with part of a bike touring group. Most of the rooms were waterfront on Lake Champlain (except for ours unfortunately) and featured screened porches that had hammocks in them. I found myself lusting over everyone else's room. Would not recommend staying in any of the rooms that aren't directly facing the lake, as they are closer to the road. We heard trucks all night.
The hotel restaurant had a great breakfast buffet, and the dinners were very good as well.

  • Liked — Location on Lake Champlain
  • Disliked — Rooms close to the road very noisy at night

A hidden gem in the Champlain Islands. Our family stayed for 4 nights in a suite overlooking the water. Incredible location, fabulous views, nice decor and screened-in porch were all very nice but it was the people who worked there that made it special. An incredible attention to detail and concern over our stay. Everyone took a special interest in us and did things above and beyond what other hotels would do. When I caught a huge fish, they offered to store it and find a taxidermist for us. All of the employees heard of my catch and everyone came over to congratulate me - from the front desk to the dining room to the housekeeping staff. The entire staff was highly professional and very friendly. The town was also a jewel and we plan on returning to the hotel again next year.

  • Liked — the staff was truly interested in making our stay wonderful
  • Disliked — small inconsistencies in room supplies (glasses, towels, etc.)

During a recent trip to the Grand Isles in Vermont, my husband and I spent three very nice nights here. We had a room on the top floor facing the lake. It was a very quiet and comfortable room with a spacious bathroom equipped with a clawfoot tub and a large shower with seating and plenty of room to manuveur. The bedroom area was cozy but not so small that you bump into each other (and we had lots of luggage taking up floor space). Lovely decor, very comfy queen bed, good air conditioning (window unit) and super water power in both shower and tub (rather a luxury in that area). Small window seat provided a nice lake view. Staff was very personable and helpful without being intrusive. Many college-age kids work there during summers who were terribly sweet and fun to talk to. Lovely dining facilities provide you choice to sit outside, on the indoor front porch or in large dining room. Wonderful, cozy bar located just inside the dining room. Best food around with innovative chef selections each night. Excellent breakfast buffet offered every morning with reasonable hours. Outstanding lakefront area with chaise lounges and plenty of lawn to relax, read or just look at the lake. Overall quality is head and shoulders above Shore Acres Inn, another popular North Hero hotel where we stayed while we were there.
