Very easy check in process. They let us know due to it being a pub, it would be loud, but it was very quiet and easy to sleep! The pub area was lovely and had a huge chimney fire for everyone to enjoy and keep warm. The room was clean and well kept! Great experience!

The room was very clean and warm. Perfect for a weekend ski trip. Self check in and out. The walls are thin but everyone was quiet by 10. The food at the restaurant was delicious.

Valley Craft Ales is a great brewery. We came to a fundraiser here and decided to book a room to avoid travel afterwards. The room was adequate, a bed and private bath. The room was clean and the bed was comfortable. The staff at the brewery were great. Justin made sure everything was good with our accommodations. As we were out most of the day, this Inn worked out well for us.

Amenities were a little rough around the edges. The bed was rock hard. There wasn’t a TV or a bathroom fan. Their cancellation policy was also nonexistent when something important came up. There wasn’t any contact information to get ahold of the owners.

Liked: Cleanliness
Very clean and comfortable room with an excellent view of the stream and the trees outside. No TV in the room; perfect for anyone looking for a night away. The walls are thin so if you are sensitive to noise I would not recommend as I could clearly hear my neighbor snoring, however ear plugs are provided in the room should you need them. I would stay here again should I be in the area.

An old mill converted into a brewery with rooms for rent - how could you go wrong?! Stayed here in a hiking a trip. Rooms are small, but for a place to stay while hiking it was perfect

Clean basic rooms. But even they warn you, rooms are very loud and you can basically hear everything. But if you’re looking for a clean basic stay this is it; just remember there’s no front desk and everything is email or text.

The parking lot needs some TLC. Pitted and hard to park. The bar/restaurant was understaffed for a Friday night. Waited forever to order and then again just to get the bill.
