The lodge was nice. Well kept and had great view of mountains. I suggest coffee machine in room would be nice touch. Having serve yourself breakfast would be better than ordering it in the bar.
Very clean, friendly owners and staff, nice breakfast. It's an older building, but all in good condition and what you see in the pictures is what you get.
It is a quaint hotel but the bed and pillows were great, indoor pool and hot tub, excellent breakfast and right on a beautiful river.

The grounds were wonderful with picnic tables and benches situated above a babbling brook. There’s a gazebo on the property and beautiful views of Mt Mansfield. The lodge is located in close proximity to the Stowe recreation path which is flat and paved and also has benches and picnic tables above a banking brook, the calmed nicest horses are in a pasture next to the path and are very friendly. There’s a corn maze on the path and numerous bridges over the brook. There’s a covered bridge near the start of the path. Breakfast in the lodge is a big time saver to get out on the fantastic nearby hiking trails.
Beautiful and very well cared for property sitting next to a small creek. Owners were very accommodating and the lodge is so close to many different activities. Would definitely recommend and stay there again.
Vintage type ski motel but updated with new heat/ac systems and remodeled rooms yet still maintaining a lodge feel. Cook to order breakfast was nice! Didn't use the pool/hot tub/sauna but they all looked well kept. Peaceful stream running on back of property and wildflower gardens. Easy access to both town of Stowe and mountain attractions.
One of Stowe's stays w/ vibrant strong heart inside the Town. Great accommodations if having an active lifestyle, near to the Rec Path, Mountain Bike Trail Network, all the gravel and paved road elevation to ride, and also hiking amongst the Notch area. That's just non-winter season... recommend all around.
If i could rate this hotel 20/20 i would! It is absolutely adorable! The owners are so nice and helpful. The room was amazing! The breakfast, cant get any better. I will definately stay there if im ever back in the area, and i will tell anyone else i know that is traveling in the area to stay here!!! Keep up the excellent work, you can tell that you care about your business and your guests!

This was an unexpected stay! This lodge was great with the best breakfast so far on our 7 day trip!!!
Wonderful-pics don't do it justice!! Our room was clean comfortable and close to anything we wanted to do Staff/owner very personable and informative about things we might want to do in the area-we were on a Harley so areas we wanted to visit were limited since we were tired Loved walking down to the creek for pics and then walking to a covered bridge and walking g up a biking /walking running paced path near the motel We did visit early fall Great to meet other people and just relax in the hot tub Very thankful we were encouraged by management and others to not go through the route through smugglers notch on the Harley-roads were wet and the Harley was loaded and we were advised it might be a little dangerous -disappointing, but rather be safe
