Main Street USA


Why do we love being located on Isle La Motte, VT? It's the people. Ever since we opened our doors in 2006, the neighborhood openend its arms and welcomed Fossil Rock to the town.



On any given day you are guaranteed to see at least three of your neighbors, have two or more visitors stop by the house unannounced and share a cup of coffee with someone. It's an old-fashioned way of living where people spend more time talking and less time looking at each other over their white picket fences. Car doors and porches are almost always unlocked, no one uses a front door unless you are a bill collector, and people are always happy to see you coming.



So why not come and see what all of the fuss is about? At Fossil Rock Resort, we make you a part of our little world on Lake Champlain. During your stay you are welcome to partake in any of the activities and services we offer, or if you would like to hang out in the kitchen, pull weeds in the garden or come for a ride into town for some groceries we would love to have you along.

Isle La Motte Postcards

Are you a collector? I am. I have a few things that I have collected since childhood; comic books, frog figurines, pins and scouting patches all hold a special place in my life. In recent years, one of the things that I have started to become interested in, is collecting postcards.



For me it's postcards with frogs on them. For others it may be sailboats or seashores, or something completely different.





Fossil Rock has something very special to announce. This season we will be bringing vacationers an exclusive line of Isle La Motte postcards which are not available anywhere else. Fossil Rock Resort has commissioned Four Seasons Postcards to produce an exclusive line of Isle La Motte postcards which will be sold only in the Fossil Rock Resort gift shop.



For those travelers who cannot make it to our paradise this season, don't worry. You will also be able to purchase these postcards online by going to www.fossilrockresort.com/postcards.



Many thanks to Laura at Four Seasons Postcards, and we hope all of you will enjoy this exciting offer!

Upcoming Events!

Last summer, Isle La Motte was home to a brand new summer event that took place right off the shores of our island.

For the first time ever, island residents and visitors assembled to have a symbolic "Flotilla" around Lake Champlain to commemorate Samuel de Champlain's historic visit to Lake Champlain.

This years event will be taking place on July 12, 2008. Last year's event proudly contained over 30 vessels ranging from canoes, to large fishing boats. We are expecting a record turnout this year, with a BBQ on the Alburg Dunes after our voyage. Come stay with us at Fossil Rock Resort and take part in this historic event.

This year helps to lead us into next years event where we will be celebrating the 400th anniversary of de Champlain's arrival on Isle La Motte.

Welcome!
