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.

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.

The lodge was a great choice for our ski trip. Very close to the mountain and the shuttle stopped right at the property. Also close to restaurants and shops.

Weekend stay to ski with our sons. On the shuttle route to Mount Snow (5 minutes away). Very family friendly place and quiet on a busy weekend. Breakfast included which is a plus. Wish the rooms had coffee maker, but otherwise really convenient and excellent family run lodge.

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.
