About Us
A secluded island paradise awaits. . .
Situated on the shores of Lake Champlain on historic Isle La Motte, this Vermont Bed and Breakfast – the Ruthcliffe Lodge – commands a panoramic view of the Green Mountains of Vermont. If you are traveling to Vermont, our secluded island paradise makes the perfect summer, overnight getaway or fall side trip. Only one hour from Montreal, Canada and Burlington, Vermont, it is also the ideal stopping place en route to these northern destinations.
