Frommer's Review

The numbers behind this elaborate mansion on the shores of Lake Champlain tell the story: 60 rooms, 10 chimneys, 1,400 acres of land. Built in 1899, this sprawling Edwardian "farmhouse" is the place to fantasize about the lifestyles of the truly rich and famous. From your first glimpse of the mansion from the winding drive, you'll know you've left the grim world behind. That's by design -- noted landscape architect Frederick Law Olmsted had a hand in shaping the grounds. The 24 guest rooms vary in terms of decor and upkeep; some are overdue for a makeover. If you're feeling flush, ask for Overlook, with the great views of the grounds. Among the budget units (with shared bathroom), I like the Oak Room with its lake view.

Facilities:
Restaurant; lake swimming; tennis court; children's farmyard; babysitting; farm tours
