Great place to stay in Stowe. The only con is the walls seems to be thin and if you have noisy neighbors or early risers, you can hear pretty much everything. Included breakfast was great and the property is very pretty, great location.

Breakfast was prepared fresh daily with multiple options. The location is just far enough removed from the downtown craziness but walkable to the local hiking path. The area around the hotel is beautiful and the staff/owners were wonderful. The room was clean, lighting was great and the shower was wonderful. We strongly recommend Northern Light Motel.

We enjoyed the individual breakfast orders. We have never seen a free breakfast served this way. The pool and hot spa were very nice too. The motel was clean and nice, but the grounds could use a little TLC. The staff were also very nice and accommodating.
