D. A. R. State Park Tours

The positives: The rooms and the property were immaculately clean and well-kept and the choice of pools (indoor and outdoor) was a nice amenity. The negatives: Booking through Expedia incurred a $10 fee that was unexpected and the hotel staff did a mediocre job explaining the rationale for that charge. Being a culinary resort, I expected more treats included for guests and if not free breakfast, then at least a meal subsidy at one of the onsite eateries. All in all, it’s a nice, quiet place to stay and relax if you want to be close to Burlington but not in the city.

The property was beautiful and staff were wonderful. I loved the easy proximity to the Stowe path and it’s on one of the most scenic river sections. The room was spacious and bed extremely comfortable. We stayed on the first floor and had access to outside which we loved as it accommodated our busy in and out schedule. The breakfast was fantastic and was a fabulous start to our day! I would have rated a 5 but there were two downfallls 1. The hot tub was milky so did not use but we honestly usually don’t but the second and biggest issue was that having someone in the room above sounded like herd of elephants every evening and morning and I’m a light sleeper and on vacation found I was woke up every morning at 6 and the noise above was so annoying that I was now subjected to following someone else’s early morning rise times or their bedtime. Such a shame since the room was newly renovated and so warm and welcoming as was everything else about this property.
