Great stay in terms of accommodations. The location is kind of isolated in terms of dining options. There is one fast food option close by. Otherwise, you will have to travel into Burlington for other choices.

What a very cool place to stay. Clean, bright with updated rooms: giant bed (the John Wayne room ) & bigger shower. There was a complimentary coupon for the old school 4 screen drive in movie theatre next door too. UVM parent’s weekend and still not as pricy as the bigger chains. Support local businesses. Two thumbs up.
