Can you help me with my trip to VT, NY, and Quebec?

Mostly I am looking for help near and around Lake Chaplain. What’s better a few days in the adirondacks, or on the Lake, VT or NY side? I’d like a nice resort, I’m picky about clean and prefer a modern or ski lodge feel, although I am open to considering a bed and breakfast if it is fantastic. I want to start in that area, then drive into Canada, Montreal and probably Quebec City. Any suggestion for where to stay and what to do in Montreal and Quebec City are welcome as well.

Also, if you can give me an idea of what airports might be least expensive to fly into that would be great.
