Autumn visit in Vermont 2025

The internet was a bit intermittent on the first day I arrived, but it became more stable on my second day and there after. I didn't use the AC, had the window open the whole time, which was lovely; smelling the Vermont fresh air. The pillows were a bit full and hard but the bed seemed ok. It was disappointing that the restaurant was not open and that there is no kettle in the room to boil water for a cup of tea. The service was excellent though, as any issues that arose, Emma got back to me pretty toot sweet! Thank you Emma!

They are in the middle of up keep on the place so that’s good keep up the good work !!!!it’s a good place small room just needs a decent amount of maintenance…creaky floors !!! old charm for some … ehh…if u didn’t know the area well id imagine …..u rent a room and then u bring food to room to find out theres no fridge or microwave so thats kinda a bummer our room had new electronic locks. Freshly painted everywhere inside and out the beds we’re comfortable and shower/ tub was decent long shared porch and there is a big hang spot so if ur with a group it would be good nice pool in summer… In the end this place is not the best but defiantly not the worst.

Is it being flipped??

Strangest stay I have ever had. Upon arrival the building looked closed, and there were ladders and construction equipment in one of the entrances. Everything was done online. I walked into the other entrance and there was no one around. There was a sign on wall stating which floor rooms were on and that’s it. Went to room, never saw any amenities-just the brown box that was our room. No photos on walls-nice comfortable bed but ratty carpet, old furniture and bathroom was mostly redone but then ratty old scratched up mirror. It looked like it was in the middle of being flipped. Did not look like the pictures. Never saw/spoke with any employee during our visit. Grateful it was only one night.

Carpets are old. Common areas are nice. It is in a beautiful area but the rooms need an upgrade. The checkout process indicated i owed zero and still indicated i needed to pay more and qould not allow me to check oout unless i paid again, so i will have to take that up with the card company. There is nobody working at this property you can speak to. Everything is self check in and out.

I don’t know when these photos were taken, but this place is a complete construction zone piles of garbage all over the property tools out no one to be found in the building except for someone painting at 8 o’clock in the morning without a wet paint sign. It was a bizarre experience. The bed was comfortable. The shower was horrible and they have the strangest lighting in the room that I’ve ever seen. This is a completely unmanned property.

This listing is a scam

Never got a room because the hotel is under renovation. My reservation was confirmed, but they required an online check-in claiming convenience and ease. After the completion of this check-in the room number and door lock code would be issued. This is a total scam. The on-line check-in required complete credit card info plus pictures of yourself and a photo ID. Needless to say that didn’t happen, but I was constantly sent text messages requesting that I complete this procedure. The exterior of the hotel was being paired by several workers when I arrived. The parking lot was empty and the reception office doors were all locked. Fortunately I was able to find other accommodations nearby. Hopefully I can get my money back.

There was no one to check us in. Another customer had been waiting over 30 minutes to have an access code texted to her, she never got it. A janitor let us in our room. What happened to service???? We rushed to get here when someone would be in the office. Never again!!!!!!!

Just fine

It’s fine for the price. Bed was comfortable, sheets and towels were clean. You can see that they are trying to upgrade, but it’s still pretty run down overall—lights flickering, stained carpet. No breakfast and the coffee machine wasn’t working. Not sure if they might have better amenities and people around to help during the busier season. Fine for a night if you just need a place to sleep and then be on your way.

Présentement en rénovation. la chambre loué, malgré les rénovations, ne ressemble du tout aux photos expédia, l’hôtel est sans dessus dessous, personne au front desk, c’est un code pour débarrer le porte de chambre, qui est probablement le même pour tous les clients, la chambre sent la peinture, le tapis de chambre est tellement sal que je marche avec mes sandales. Les murs sont peinturer roue vin foncé, c'est épouvantable! La salle de bain a également été rénové et c’est ce qui a de plus beau dans la chambre!

Easy in and out. All transactions with this property are handled online; there was no person-to-person interaction while on the site. The rooms and bathrooms were clean, and the beds were comfortable. We'd consider this again in the future.
