When you book one of my Getaways, you'll be treated to a gorgeous view of Elmore Mountain in a tranquil rural setting.
But that's just the start!
You're just 3 minutes by car from Lake Elmore and Elmore Mountain.
Depending on the season, you'll have a tantalizing array of recreational activities: swimming, boating, sunbathing, fishing, hiking... even ice fishing!
Just 10 minutes from the charming town of Morrisville.
Here you'll find a walkable downtown with coffee shops, breweries, restaurants... even gourmet doughnuts (but be sure to order ahead, they run out fast!). Further afield are grocery stores, a distillery, and more restaurants!
Just 20 minutes from Stowe Village.
With Stowe just 20 minutes away, sightseeing, dining, hiking, gondola rides and world class skiing are easily accessible.
Your launching pad for exploring central Vermont.
My Getaways are just a half hour from the beautiful and walkable state capitol, Montpelier, with dozens of distinctive shops and restaurants. We're also centrally located among many state parks and trails suitable for all ages.
An hour away from the city of Burlington.
Situated on Lake Champlain with gorgeous views of the Adirondack Mountains, Burlington offers big-city amenities in a charming, small town package.

My name is Helena Mae Woodruff, but you can call me Lany Mae, as my friends do!
I am a native Minnesotan who has become a proud Vermonter. I traded a stressful career as a marketing director for something far more enjoyable and fulfilling: connecting travelers with memorable experiences in a place I love.
Lany Mae's Getaways was born from my passion for both real estate and travel. Click here to see all of the services I provide to vacationers, homebuyers and real estate investors.
It all started with a modest duplex featuring a million-dollar view of Elmore Mountain. As guests began to book the property in droves, I quickly realized that travelers are eager for good value — affordable lodging in spectacular settings, conveniently located near epic outdoor activities, dining, and more.
Whether you are looking for a budget stay or a luxury getaway, I maintain the same attention to detail and commitment to value.
When you check into one of my Getaways, your visit will begin with a personal touch. Each property is fully stocked with essential supplies, so you won’t have to worry about shopping for them. I am also available 24/7 to answer questions or provide recommendations before or during your stay.
