We had a wonderful stay! Both pools were amazing, and the staff was super nice and welcoming. A big plus was the citronella they spray early morning —there were noticeably fewer bugs at night, which made sitting outside much more enjoyable. We would definitely come back!

The rooms are somewhat dated, but fully functional. The hotel has two dining establishments attached and sells desserts at the desk as well. The pools and hot tub were great. A peaceful retreat overall, just didn’t feel the room felt as “spa-like” as the resort sounds. Not much to do around here.

Great place to stay just east of Burlington. We visited Stowe and Smugglers Notch, and found the pool and spa to be really lovely and open late (and early). The men’s sauna seemed not hot enough, and the steam room needed repair, so I’d look forward to having these in full service.
