My wife and I rode our bikes from Brooklyn, NY to Montreal. On the afternoon of our 4th day we found ourselves in a bike shop in Burlington, VT asking the friendly mechanic how much farther to Montreal. It was already 2:00 pm, so he quickly looked up some lodging options on our way north and gave us the phone numbers. Once we finally got to the Champlain Isles, we realized it was getting late and we should find a place to stay. We called the Ransom Bay Inn and they had one more room. We pedaled up there through some very pretty farm country, but I didn't expect much from the Inn, especially after seeing many of the lake-side motels we passed. We arrived exhausted, parked our bikes and couldn't believe our luck. The Inn was cozy and beautiful. The food was outstanding. The room was really comfortable. The inn keepers were terrific. The breakfast both big and delicious, and because it was held in a communal room where you got to meet other guests (as opposed to dinner the night before, which was more romantic), we were able to meet other travelers, including a young couple from Montreal biking south. The Ransom Bay Inn will remain a high point of our whole trip.

My daughter and I had the good fortune to book an overnight stay at the Ransom Bay Inn on our way from Montreal to New York City, in November. Rick and Loraine are the Inn Keepers from heaven, and their hospitality abounds! Not only did they prepare and serve us delicious culinary delights for dinner, and breakfast, but they offered these things with a generosity usually reserved for family. The two hundred and eighteen year old home, in which this Bed and Breakfast resides, has a lovely atmosphere, and furnishings, which instantly make you feel as if you've stepped back in time to simpler days. Rick and Loraine were more than willing to share the history of their charming Inn, and of the surrounding Isles and Lake Champlain as well. We will definitely return to Ransom Bay Inn, and highly recommend this B and B to everyone. Thank you again Loraine and Rick for making our first trip to Vermont a very special one!
Best European 'VERMONT' style Inn - B & B in the area! Molto Bene!! Mille grazie! Merci beaucoup!

This jewel is a real DIAMOND of an Inn/B&B, and is the BEST you will find at very reasonable rates in this area. If you want the charm, elegance and flair of European style throughout your stay, choose Ransom Bay Inn B&B (or just stay home). Rick and Loraine, you are the best, and Leslie and I will be back very soon. (twice more at least; on her birthday and for Blake's Xmas day surprise) in December 2011. Rick, how would Cinnamon Toast Crunch cereal be on "you know what?" Here's a little Tidbit: The von Trapp Family Lodge "Austrian Tea Room" 'secret' bar mix ingredient now revealed here first!! :) and also, Did someone say that the USA's First President: General George Washington MAY have slept or camped out here? (For REAL!!) (oh, I just did! Oops!) We love you both! Bob C, Leslie E., and Blake E., from Andover, Massachusetts. (soon to be Mr. and Mrs. C. - April or May 2012 - will see you then, too! ) ~ciao~

Our recent stay at Ransom Bay Inn B&B was a great addition to our Northern Vermont/Canadian vacation. The meals were spectacular and cooked to order when we arrived in the dining room. The innkeepers were friendly and helpful with local suggestions and accommodating to all our needs. Can't wait to return...

The Ransom Bay Inn was a wonderful place to stop on our cycling trip through the Champlain Islands and up into Quebec. The accommodations was cozy and comfortable, the breakfasts fabulous and the dinners were delicious. We lounged on the lovely patio before dinner and thoroughly enjoyed the ambiance of the Inn. The inn keepers were gracious and did everything to make our stay special including providing an area inside for our bicycles. I would highly recommend this Inn as a stopping a place for cyclists as well as for tourists.
