Situated on the shores of Lake Champlain in the historic village of Rouses Point, New York, Heaton House was home to Rufus Heaton, early village developer and state legislator. By all accounts the brick Federal style home was built in 1819, just after the close of the War of 1812, and has been a cherished setting to several families ever since. Heaton House offers four large and airy guestrooms with comfortable queen or twin beds, simple furnishings and shared baths. The parlor and library are available for guests to gather or watch TV. Breakfast is enjoyed in the dining room and on the back porch.
Guests can swim or just relax at the private sandy beach. Kayaks and canoe are available for a small fee or you may bring your own to enjoy a paddle, cast a line or check out the wild life along the beautiful lakeshore. A public boat launch in the village is available for fishing enthusiasts with larger boats.
Area activities include world class bass fishing, boating, paddling, golf, biking, hiking, and antiques. Nearby attractions include Point au Roche State Park, Missisquoi National Wild Life Refuge, St. Anne’s Shrine, Alice T. Miner Colonial Collection and numerous historic and cultural venues in Plattsburgh. Area restaurants offer a variety of dining experiences. Heaton House is an hour drive from Montreal and Burlington, VT. and the excitement those cities have to offer.
