Snow has arrived and "Downstairs at the B.G.V." is a great place to experience it. On the shores of beautiful Lake Memphremagog, this little City is surrounded by all the things you're looking for, scenic drives, walking, hiking, cross-country skiing, breweries, close to Jay Peak, restaurants and more! Come explore, stay & visit family, or friends, or cross the Border for a quick getaway! "Downstairs at the B.G.V." looks forward to welcoming you here! This private apartment Suite on the 1st floor (not the basement) and is self contained. Although it has No Kitchen, it does have a small microwave and small refrigerator. It is located below my other Suite, the "Big Green Victorian - Upstairs..." "Downstairs at the B.G.V." offers a large comfortable living room, complete with Cable, WiFi, and a '60's record player, with a broad of selection of vinyl/albums. The bedroom has a Queen-size bed and attached bath (with linens, towels...). A private screened in porch offers an additional social area (depending on the weather!). Some guests have commented that the bathroom is small. I like to think of it as being compact. It has all you need, porcelain tub/shower, toilet, sink, and a place to put things. This is an old house (1875), with the original bathroom, which was for function; not necessarily for comfort. And that, is part of its charm! As mentioned above, "Downstairs at the B.G.V." has no kitchen and isn't intended to act as one. Things needing a freezer for storage, while here, can be put in my freezer (just ask me). A Gift Certificate to a local breakfast restaurant OR a place for some food after activities... is provided to help make your stay more enjoyable. As for coffee, there are three options available: 1. A coffee maker with Green Mountain Coffee can be placed in the space; 2. If you have pods, a Keurig can be placed; 3. If you like coffee but rather not make it, I can provide you with a carafe of fresh brewed coffee each morning (I get up early and it's not a problem at all). A device for boiling water can also be made available for those who prefer Tea. During the heating months, the temperature in the suite is 68 degrees. With high ceilings, sitting and watching television or reading, etc. may be a bit cool, but there are plenty of lap blankets. But you might want to bring a sweater if you run cold. However, to date no one has commented on the temperature. In the warmer months, there is a portable air conditioner in the living room window (placed generally around the first of June) and a window fan for the bedroom is available.
