The property is conveniently located in close proximity to Mt Snow and local restaurants. The staff is friendly. There's a big screen tv room with fireplace and a small sitting room to read or just converse. Rooms are a little dated but clean. Would stay again.

This is a very comfortable, simple inn. The owners are attentive and the breakfasts are very good--great value for the area. We also enjoyed the English couple operating the place--very engaging and accommodating. We would definitely stay there again if we find ourselves in the area.

Charming and simple. Everything you would expect in a Vermont lodge. Breakfast was included. It would have been nice to have amenities like tea and coffee outside of breakfast hours.

Choose Room Carefully

It is being worked on. Great outside place for kids to play or just to sit out. The room had no extras like a refrigerator and was very hot for sleeping even though the heat was off. We could open the window which helped. We booked late so might have enjoyed a different room. The breakfast was limited but excellent if you like the choices for the day. Also in winter the outside doors to the rooms are locked so carrying luggage downstairs was doable but not convenient. Very nice couple that run the lodge!!!!! Beds were ok but better for family than a couple with one queen and two twin.

Just okay

My family stayed in a room with a queen and bunk beds. Mattresses were very uncomfortable; not enough pillows. There was no continental breakfast and breakfast options were sparse/small portions. Good view, ample parking.
