answer:Lake Champlain :) I went to college nearby but that was a long time ago. Sorry I don’t have specific places to recommend. If you don’t come up with any solid suggestions, the Lake George area is a little further south but a lovely area with lots of great cottages, hotels, and B &B places. A AAA guide book usually steers me right with their rating system. If you don’t belong but know any friends who do, they can get you good info free. If you’re going to Montreal, I hope you speak French. They’re pretty fanatical about it.
