History The Island Villa Hotel was built in 1903. Owned and managed by the Briggs family, it quickly became a popular spot for big city VIPs to retreat to the Vermont countryside. In 1956, after being purchased by the Sisters of Mercy, The Island Villa Hotel became Camp Marycrest, an all-girls summer camp. Finally, in 1997, the building and land were donated to The Preservation Trust of Vermont. In 1998, the property, now known as Grand Isle Lake House, began hosting private events.
