Room was good and sooo warm when we arrived, on a snowy cold Vermont afternoon. Plenty of space for our family of four. Innkeeper was prompt with coffee in the morning.

Just loved our stay. The hot tub at night under the Wolf moon was amazing. We snowshoed on the trails, watched movies, ate in and just loved the place. Very private, clean, nice and warm and cozy. Thank you!
