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.

Great Lodge. Provided everything we needed. Quiet, family friendly. Good game selection. Ton of snacks and coffee. Super close to Mt. Ellen. Definitely would come back.
Nice to go to a room at the end of a long drive and have the room be clean. It was great for what we were looking for - just a place to rest our heads while we went visiting family in Vermont.
