Fabulous place. It’s been around for years and years. So it’s older but very well kept. We were going to be late, the office closes at 7pm, so I called and Michael said no worries. He said he would text the info for late check in. Very simple. He’d turned on the heat and lights for us. So appreciated. Very quiet here and very beautiful. Great hand made soaps. We bought one, they are made by one of the owners. Had coffee and conversation in the office the next morning. There is a balcony with a nice view in the office. Would absolutely recommend this place.

Nice Stay

Really love how this place is tucked away in the mountains. There is ample seating outside around the property to just sit and take in the nature. The rooms are super comfy and a good size for the price, especially if you go off-season.

The property was as described and noted on other reviews a wonderful quaint, cute and quiet motel right off the road in a wonderful setting in the Green Mountains of Vermont. Michael at the front desk was a tremendous help. The walls are a bit thin but nothing unusual for a hotel this age and the occupants are quiet.

Perfect combination of secluded yet convenient

Lovely location off a main road providing a peaceful setting yet close to everything. Started each morning on the deck overlooking mountains. Eco-friendly common area with toaster, brewed coffee, and microwave, room has everything else you need. Super friendly service - nice local feel. Emerald Lake is right up the road and the perfect spot to float the day away.

Beautiful inn!

This was a beautiful comfortable inn with a view that was spectacular. We loved it and will stay there again. The innkeeper was fun and kind plus paid attention to every detail. Highly recommend! And fun fact “Aerie” (Eyrie) means nest particular a bald eagle. Loved the bald eagle decor.
