Very charming Inn that was very comfortable and had a great location in Stowe. We had a small room with a private bath that worked very well for us. We loved the location and free parking. Very affordable during the leaf peeping season. I highly recommend this lovely Inn.

This place was amazing. Absolute perfect location with so much to do so close by. Went for a fall trip with my girlfriend and everything we wanted to do was less than ten minutes away. And right next door to pizza place and brewery that was so convenient to walk to at night. Super nice owners as well. Will definitely be back here next year. Thank you!

We stayed in one of the motel rooms in the back. Clean, spacious room with river view. Furniture was dated but bed was comfy & bath recently renovated. The inn owners are very friendly & welcoming. Located close to restaurants, breweries and short drive to Stowe center. Back of the inn connects to a beautiful walking/biking trail. We'd definitely stay here again.

Great price for a skiing weekend trip to Stowe. Very friendly hosts and they allowed us to check in early. Would definitely stay here again. Free parking lot in the back but it was pretty icy and could use salt and plowing.

The heat did not work. They accommodated us with a space heater, which was fine but not optimal. Needed some updates.
