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.

Yes. Everything was super! A perfect short escape by the tranquil banks of the lake—made all the more memorable by the gracious care of unseen hosts. The thoughtful upgrade to a suite added a touch of comfort and completeness, turning our stay into a truly cherished experience.”

Breathtaking setting and ample, free onsite parking. Outside chairs to sit and admire the sublime lakeshore view with provided breakfast pastry and coffee. Our room (Heathcote, Rm 6) was necessarily small and very cozy with a well-appointed private but across the hall bathroom and good shower. Staff contact was entirely online but all questions answered. Drive into historic Plattsburgh for a variety of great dinner options. Provided breakfast included fresh croissants and muffins. Would very definitely stay again.

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!

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!

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.

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.

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.

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)..
