Great location at the start of the Stowe "recreation path". You can easily grab a bike - available from the hotel, included in our rate - and safely ride to Stowe. By car it is easy to reach Smugglers' Notch and Stowe as well. The room was large and practical, with good wifi, a table and chairs and a kitchenette with sink and microwave. Breakfast buffet was excellent, tea and coffee with cheese and crackers at noon was a nice touch. Last but not least is the garden, with comfortable chairs near the firepit and along the river, next to a covered bridge. It' s so big you won't hear the nearby road and really feel inside nature.

Housekeeping was something we had to specifically ask for. Not really a negative but something to be aware of: the rooms are not the newest, and it's still a motel in the sense that it is along a busy road - to Smugglers' Notch - and where your first view from the room are the cars parked outside.

Breakfast was good. Room was clean and unique. Loved the cookies in the evening.

No elevator. Difficult to get the bags up the stairs. Wish it would have been warm enough to swim.

The folks were so helpful and nice. And the breakfast was a knockout. Offered lots of amenities.

Breakfast was great. Location to Stowe was important.

I guess we paid market price. It was a little expensive for what you received.
