What guests think
Valcour Inn & Boathouse offers a quiet, lakeside stay in a historic setting, with well-kept grounds, porches and balconies that frame sweeping views, and generally spacious rooms that make the most of the waterfront location.
Rooms are noted for comfort, though a few mention mattress comfort issues and occasional noise from housekeeping or nearby rooms. The continental, pre-packaged breakfast draws mixed feedback, often described as sweet-leaning, while some found it fine or diligently replenished. Service is largely hands-off with no on-site staff; several guests liked the smooth, private check-in, but others struggled with access codes or response times. Best for travelers who value scenery and independence over full-service amenities.

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.

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

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!

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)..

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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!

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!

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!

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.

Dining
Continental breakfast is mostly pre-packaged and sweet-leaning, with mixed feedback on quality. Some appreciated it as convenient or well replenished, while others rated it poorly and wished for more protein options.

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.

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.

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,

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.

The Valcour Inn is a beautiful and charming Inn on Lake Champlain. Beautiful views and serene. Really enjoyed relaxing out on the front porch watching the lake activity and listening to the birds. Our room was comfortable and enjoyed the self serve breakfast choices.

Broken AC in our room and no way to reach staff. Stale pastries. Only one coffee cup for two people. Something was off about the bed cover which made the sheets fall off all night. Terribly uncomfortable stay.

This property feels more like a wedding and event venue than a motel or a place to spend a relaxing day. The view is absolutely stunning, and the owner (or staff member who assisted us) was very kind and welcoming. The location is also excellent, as it is close to Champlain Centre and only about 8 minutes from the falls, making it very convenient for visitors. The place is quite old, including the furniture, but it is also very clean and well maintained. Because the building is old, there are a few drawbacks. We noticed some ants in the bathroom, and the smell of aged wood is quite strong throughout the property. If you are sensitive to odors or have allergies, this may be uncomfortable for you. I booked a one-night stay with breakfast included through Expedia. Coming from Montreal, I paid CAD $357 for a lake-view room with two beds.I found the breakfast unexpected. It consisted of cake, yogurt, and a croissant, which felt more like a snack than a proper breakfast. There were no eggs, cheese, bread, or other substantial options. Considering the price I paid, I felt that the overall value did not match my expectations. Overall, the beautiful location, amazing view, convenient access to local attractions, and friendly service were definite highlights, but the breakfast offering and the property's age related characteristics made the experience feel overpriced for what was provided.
