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.

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.

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!

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.

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!

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.

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.
