As far as a hotel goes, when I used to stay there for tournaments, I always stayed at the Days Inn. All of the hotels are bass boat friendly. If you want a little more privacy, try the cottages at Heron Ledge. (www.heronledge.com) A 10 minute drive to the tournament ramp though there is a beautiful ramp 100 yards away that many use and just take the boat to the tournament launch area. They are right behind Valcour Island in a beautiful wind protected cove. Though I have never stayed there, I have heard a lot of good things about Marine Village. Same setup as Heron Ledge, just north of town instead of South.You have many options and all of the chain hotels are very used to dealing with bass boats by now. I have ever heard anything bad about any lodging over there.
