Owner's Map of Granville
We are both scientists, have traveled extensively and lived abroad. We love exploration and adventure but always enjoy coming back to our home base for sharing, peace and quiet, and familiar comfort. We especially enjoy outdoor activities such as hiking, snow sports, bird watching, canoeing, and star gazing. All these interests attracted us to this area on the NY/VT line.

We have stayed here with our family, brother/sister in laws, friends, nieces and dogs for two years and counting. This is truely a wonderful house and location for all sorts of activities and Alice is such a wonderful hostess, we hope that they hold off their retirement for many more year, so we can continue to have access to this house. The house is immaculate and grounds are spectacular. Thanks for everything. XO The LePages
