Amazing Lodge

Great place to stay when in the Stowe, VT area. Super cozy red lodge inn. Very clean and quiet. Would absolutely recommend.

Leaf peeping

We were there for leaf peeping. It's a great location and a beautiful view of the mountain from the front porch

Great little lodge minutes from Waitsfield

Nice lodge just minutes from Waitsfield dining. Beautiful view towards mountain. One thing I’ll note: the layout with a front deck, and an internal lobby that rooms on the 2nd and 3rd floors open onto, is ideal for visiting with friends and family. I was staying here on business so the late night conversations in the public areas kept me up. Not complaining! Just a heads-up about what to expect. If you stay on the first floor in rooms that open directly to parking area this shouldn’t be an issue.

Excellent

Great hotel, very relaxing. I would definitely recommend. Also, I had never heard of Waitsfield before staying here and it was a very nice town. Some great views of fall foliage, great food and just a cool vibe all around.

There are significantly better options

This hotel is possibly the worst hotel in the area. I’ve stayed here twice and both times I’ve regretted it. Paper thin walls, dated ascetic, and zero staff. If you want stay at a boarding house then go for it.

Loved convenience to waitsfield and mt ellen. Have stayed in past and will stay again in future. Floor boards above unit 12 could use some nails, kinda noisey. Fully expect it will get fixed.

Good spot for resting after a day on the slopes. The “no check in check out” process is awesome and makes it so easy. Room was just what we needed - nothing fancy but clean and comfortable. Walls are a bit thin and we could hear a group in their room talking but thankfully everyone seemed to go to bed by midnight. Would definitely stay again while skiing nearby!

Cute, clean and comfortable. Love the contactless check in and out. Text messaging feature made contacting the manager a breeze. Excellent! Also a great location.

My stay at the lodge was great! It was easy check-in process. My text message to the staff always got quick response. The surrounding area was very quite. There was some noise from upstairs when I went to sleep but did not bother me much.

Simple room but two queen beds. Only issue is if you have Room 7, you’re directly under the stairs to the entrance and it can be quite noisy early and late in the day
