After scrambling to find a place to stay for the night after the weather kept us longer than planned, I’m so glad we came across this place! You will not find better or kinder service, and the view is unbeatable and all for a very reasonable price! Breakfast was also excellent, and Otis is adorable! We will definitely be coming back here.

The location afforded spectacular views and the property itself is located in a lovely area. Hosts were responsive, thoughtful, and delightful; made to order breakfasts were delicious. A comfortable, peaceful place to stay, with even a nice little pool for swimmers.

Great stay — super clean, friendly staff, and only about 8 minutes (at worst!) out of Manchester itself. Rooms have a bit of an 80's vibe but are very clean; beds are comfy; shower is good. Lots of light as the room opens up onto the larger property. Would definitely stay again!

We found the North Shire Lodge convenient to the town and surrounding attractions. The view of the mountains from our back deck was amazing. Cleanliness of the room was top notch. The owners were friendly and attentive to any needs. We had the option of a "grab and go" or a hot breakfast served in the dining area, which by the way was excellent!

North Shire Lodge was perfect for a ski weekend in VT. The room was clean and comfy with a great view of the mountains. The hosts were fantastic! Very kind and welcoming. Also the include breakfast was a great perk! Not many places do a hot breakfast cooked just for you included. Made our stay in VT extra special. We will definitely be back!

Very well maintained neat little bed-&-breakfast in VT woods. Close to Stratton. The hosts are very accommodating and eager to answer questions and help out. Even in VT winter, the driveway is well-lit and kept driveable (come in AWD with winter tires, anyway, you'd need those in the area).
