It is close to Mt Snow ski resort. The property is well kept. It's clean with modern interior. I have no complaint except suggestion of a one page manual / channel guide for the TV. So we do not have to spend time figuring out and get to the channel in an most inefficient way. In addition, the breakfast can be improved a bit. Coffee is weak. Juice (we try apple and orange) are low quality brand which taste bad. These things should not cost much to improve.

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.

Steve and Caroline are really nice folks who run a great little lodge right down the street from Mt.Snow. The proximity to the Mt. is awesome and there’s even a shuttle stop right outside to take you to the lifts. The place has an old school vibe but the beds are up to snuff and it’s cozy so I slept well both nights I was there. Add to that hot Breakfast cooked to order and you’re all set for a day on the mountain! I’d definitely stay there again!

Overal a great stay, my family and I spent 2 night's. Steps away from mount snow, the owners were friendly and helpful. Breakfast, while limited was an easy option before hitting the slopes.. if you want some where thats hommie, safe and family friendly this is it. We will definitely be back.

The room was great for a family of four. The breakfast was delicious and ended up being sit down with a very limited menu just to get you going. Restaurants in the area are crowded so takeout is easier to get. Just speak to the owner about sitting in the dining area first they are very accommodating. I would definitely book here 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.
