Bonjour, good morning.
Here, some days start out around sunrise,
others a little later—either way, there’s no hurry.
Some days we stay put,
other days we gear up.
These are some of our favourite things to do...
Most mornings around sunrise,the valley disappears into fog.We call it Cloud River.

Here, some days start out around sunrise,
others a little later—either way, there’s no hurry.
Some days we stay put,
other days we gear up.
These are some of our favourite things to do...
From the cabins: turn left or right. Each direction has its own rewards—and consequences.
South Richford Road LoopA scenic ride over rolling hills to Montgomery, then onto gravel along the pastoral Missisquoi Valley Rail Trail.Route 242 · Jay Pass LoopA legendary mountain road and optional gravel ride that challenges mind and body. It climbs, keeps climbing, then asks for more.Local tip
Also a very nice drive.
Fuller is the smallest of six historic covered bridges in Montgomery, and, we think, the most adorable.
Left to Jay, right to Enosburg. Adventures follow.
Oma’s Café in Montgomery Center serves excellent coffee and breakfast/lunch made with thoughtfully sourced ingredients.
Oma shares the historic Trout River Trading Company building with Jay Cloud Cyclery—a dedicated bike shop offering expert repairs, rentals and sales for road, gravel, mountain and e-bike riders.
Fall foliage at the Notch is a unique and magical experience.
Local tips
Avoid weekend traffic during peak colour.
In winter, the Notch road is closed to traffic and open for cross-country skiing.
Lunch at Burger Barn in Jeffersonville. Amazing onion rings. Sometimes open in winter—it depends.
Catch the light at just the right moment.
Local tip
Witchcat Rd is classic Vermont.
Third-generation farmers Anne, Theresa and Susan Gervais run the goat farm and farm store, producing award-winning cheeses, artisanal goat-milk skincare (you’ll find their soap in the Alice & Roméo washrooms), and other local deliciousness.
Look out for This Dairy Sweet Life’s pasteurized maple milk when available. It usually arrives on Thursdays and sells out fast. Susan likes to skim the cream off the top for coffee.
Betsy Lee Rising sourdough usually arrives Friday afternoon. Perfect for fondue—and well worth the 15-minute drive.
Local tip
The kids say they would like scritches, please.
Breezy Acres Farm is one of our favourite places to stop.
Wendy and Mark raise pasture-fed beef and pork, along with truly free-range chickens—or "little dinosaurs," as Wendy calls them.
Pick up brats, chops or steaks for the grill, plus bacon, breakfast sausage and fresh eggs when available. We always DM ahead to reserve eggs.
If Wendy isn’t around, the farm stand is self-service.
Local tip
Ruby and crew love wild apples from Alice & Roméo's meadow.
Depending on where the herd is grazing that day, you may get introduced to the cows... and the piggos and the little dinosaurs.
One thing we’ve noticed after spending time here: the cows are always as curious about us as we are about them.
At the fire pit.
Until the stars come out.
Local tip
Turning off all the lights is a Vermont thing.

Bonjour,
I’m Julie, Alice & Roméo's granddaughter.
I’m a visual artist from Montréal, and these two homes grew from a dream I’ve carried for many years.
I’ve always been drawn to the countryside. Dirt roads. Open fields. Rolling hills. Places where the landscape changes with the light and the seasons.
Life in this valley moves at a different pace. The valley has its own voice for each season: spring to early summer brings birds at sunrise, cows and church bells drifting across the fields, a passing tractor, and a train in the distance. Late summer to fall brings the hum of crickets and the calls of geese migrating south. In winter, the howl of the wind, the scrunch of fresh snow underfoot, and the swoosh of skis in powder. Between them all, the quiet.
This is where the idea for Alice & Roméo began.
I designed these homes to feel quiet, simple, and deeply connected to the landscape.
I hope you’ll take the scenic back road. Stop at a farm stand. Discover a swimming hole. Indulge in a creemee. Cross a covered bridge. Linger awhile. The best discoveries are rarely planned.
Alice & Roméo were born and raised in Québec’s Lac-Saint-Jean region. Naming these homes after them honours my family tradition and the French-Canadian heritage that continues to shape this borderland.


A few things worth knowing before you arrive.
Maisons Alice & Roméo have distinct personalities and perspectives. Set at a 90-degree angle to one another, the cabins face different directions. Floor-to-ceiling windows frame private views across the Missisquoi River Valley and surrounding Green Mountains.
Each cabin accommodates up to two adults. Only registered guests aged 25 or older may stay overnight. Booking both cabins accommodates up to four adults total, with no more than two per cabin.
Each cabin includes living, dining, and kitchen areas; a king bedroom; a bathroom; a balcony with a seasonal outdoor shower and private outdoor space with its own fire pit.
Rates vary by cabin, date, day of the week, season, and length of stay. The price shown for your selected dates is the total stay price, including accommodation and the mandatory housekeeping fee. Applicable taxes are added at checkout and shown before payment. Your complete booking summary will show the accommodation rate, housekeeping, both applicable taxes, and the final total.
Secure checkout provides the live availability, nightly rates, fees, taxes, agreement, payment process, and final reservation confirmation.
A temporary $500 security authorization is normally placed two days before check‑in. It is ordinarily released within seven days after checkout when no covered amount is due, subject to payment‑processor and card‑issuer timing.
Cancellation terms are shown before payment and included in your reservation confirmation. Unless stated otherwise, our Standard 5-Day policy applies: accommodation charges are refundable when we receive a written cancellation at least five days before check-in, less any applicable non-refundable processing fees. Selected high-demand dates may have a 14-day cancellation period, and some rates may be designated non-refundable.
Maximum occupancy is two adults per cabin. Booking both cabins accommodates up to four adults total. Unless stated otherwise during booking, all registered guests must be at least 25 years old. During secure checkout, the primary guest must upload a valid photo ID (driver’s licence or passport) whose name matches the reservation.
Pets, smoking, vaping, cannabis use, parties, events, unauthorized gatherings, and commercial activities are not permitted.
Quiet hours are from 10:00 p.m. to 7:00 a.m.
Exterior security cameras cover the parking area, the walkway, main door and balcony doors.
Booking terms are presented and must be accepted during secure checkout.
We love the animals around us—from the dogs across the road and cows next door to the chickens, pigs, sheep, Shetland cattle and goats down the road. Because of allergies, we’re currently unable to accommodate pets. We’re considering making one cabin pet-friendly, with a modest professional-cleaning surcharge, and would love to hear what you think. Send Julie a note below. This restriction does not exclude service animals or other accommodations required by applicable disability law.
Our corner of Northern Vermont has much to offer: farm stands and farmers’ markets; local foods, from artisanal cheeses to maple syrup; crafts of all kinds; cycling, hiking trails and swimming holes; restaurants; road, gravel, and mountain biking; arts and music; and some of the Northeast’s best skiing and snowboarding.
Country Life shares some of our favourite ways to stay put or venture out, including additional places, observations, and seasonal discoveries.
Once your booking is confirmed, we’ll send you a comprehensive seasonal guide to things to see and do. If you have something specific in mind, let us know—we’ll be happy to help curate your stay.
