Where Should I Stay in the Adirondacks and Near Lake Champlain?

The Essex Inn, located on the shores of Lake Champlain, has been welcoming guests since 1810 (back when the nearby town of Essex was the lake's biggest port).

Alternatively, the ranch house on Beebe Farm, a working sawmill and farm that has been in the same family for four generations, is hard to top. Lake Champlain, the Adirondacks, and the Green Mountains of Vermont may all be seen from the house's porch.
