Vineyard Villas has been quietly doing its own thing on the Burdett hillside for years, and it works because it never tried to be a resort. Eight A-frames on a working vineyard, each one private, each one with a fire pit and a balcony pointed at the water. That's the whole idea.
The Concord vines out front are the oldest thing on the property. They went in generations ago to feed the jelly and juice trade, and they're still producing. Guests walk the rows in September and pick their own. Add a half-acre pond, the National Forest at the edge of the field, and a restaurant you can get to without moving your car, and you've got one of the more complete stays on the east side.
