The house itself was beautiful and comfortable. The view from the house was spectacular. It was a great place to stay while visiting our daughter and her family in Colchester. It was a wonderfully relaxing oasis to return to after hectic days with the young grandchildren. I would happily stay there again, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a beautiful and quiet spot.

Gorgeous views of the lake from a beautiful great room! Bed was comfy, kitchen fully equipped, and check in procedures were very clear! We loved exploring Vermont from the island. I can’t stress enough the stunning views in floor to ceiling windows facing the lake! We spent hours enjoying the views!!

Starry Ridge is amazing! The house is architecturally stunning, is clean and beautifully decorated throughout. The kitchen is well-stocked and a pleasure to cook in. The view is beyond a 5-stars; it is an unobstructed view of a green field, Lake Champlain, and the Green Mountains. It was difficult to leave this special place when our time was up.....if we lived on the East Coast I would be tempted to return multiple times a year. Thank you to the owners.

We are return visitors - both this stay and out last were relaxing and restorative. The home is exactly as pictured, incredible lake views included. Although Grand Island is probably a less popular location in the winter, we think its incredibly peaceful while still being just a short drive to Burlington. The radiant floor heating, fireplace, puzzle table and huge windows made this a great, cozy retreat.
