We have an incredible 65.5 acre lot in Vermont, it sits on mountain top and gets southern exposure. We plan to put a log b&b on the land which has excellent views of ski slopes and mountains. Certainly plan to capitalize on a romantic getaway theme. Providing the excellent view, an escape away from the hectic chaotic work week, land also has waterfalls and wildlife ie. Moose, bear, bobcats, and deer. Its a 3/4 mile drive to top. Very secluded and peaceful.  
We are at a loss for a name for the bed and breakfast. Keep in mind we want a name that suggests our 7mile views (at least) of the rolling mountain sides & ski slopes,but the name also needs to begin with a letter early in the alphabet.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Looking for originality and something that sticks in your head. Thank you.

Bed and breakfast? Vermont? How about Stratford Inn? Bonus points if you have three rustic chaps named Larry, Darryl, and Darryl hanging about the place.

Or go a step further, have [a murder mystery theme](http://www.montrest.com/murder-mystery-package.html) and call the place “Green Mountain Bed & Murder”. To further the uniqueness, you could stage an actual murder from time to time to spice things up.
