8.8/10 Excellent! (93 reviews)

There was absolutely no communication with anyone. I messaged many times with different questions or when the TV wasnt working. They never answered once. We had booked a 2 night stay but ended up leaving after the first night. This was my first experience with a host that ignores you. Good luck!

8.4/10 Very Good! (311 reviews)

Stumbled into Green Mountain Falls one morning while driving with my morning coffee. It’s a super charming base of the mountain town and fell in love with its tiny community feeling. Was staying down the road, and needed a room to book for Sunday evening, and noticed this lodge at a solid price. Booked without hesitation and couldn’t have been happier. The room was clean with an amazingly comfy bed with featherbed style comforter. The view from our patio, that had chairs and a table, was outstanding. I enjoyed bird and deer watching all morning. What a little slice of heaven!
