4 SEPTEMBER 2025 BUSINESS SPOTLIGHT In 1876, Loyal Waterhouse established his marina and rowboat building business on Lake Dunmore in Salisbury, Vermont. The beautiful property has been a place for people to have fun ever since. Something for Everyone Waterhouses offers many options, starting with a variety of places to stay. Operations Coordinator Curtis Gordon said, “Our three-season campground has 70+ grass, wooded, and riverfront campsites.

These lodging facilities give people who don’t camp a place to stay and still have fun with their family and friends who do camp.” When it comes to entertainment, there’s something for everyone. The marina provides 50+ slips for those bringing their own boat to Lake Dunmore plus boat rentals for guests and the general public. They include pontoon boats, canoes, kayaks, paddle boards, peddle boats, and peddle water bikes. Guests at Waterhouses can also enjoy a private island and beach/picnic area. When it’s time to relax and refuel, Paddlers Pub is the spot to meet for drinks or a delicious sit-down meal. “We have many guests who came to our campground as children, and now they’re coming back with their own children. More than 70% of our guests are returning,” Gordon noted.
