This was our first visit to Vermont and it was an extended family ski trip. When we first planned it we were hopeful the mountain would be open for skiing. That didnt work out. The mountain at the resort is currently under foreclosure, we have heard. We stayed in a two story 3 bedroom condo in the main building. We had 7 adults and 4 children 17 thru 11.
PROS: full kitchen with dishwasher, pots and pans,silverware, and dishes.
Movie theater showing movies each night with FREE movie theater popcorn.
pool and fitness center
Wifi
CONS:The temperature in the entire condo could not be regulated by thermostats regardless of what we set them at it was 74 in the rooms. Too warm. With all the people it just needed to be cooler.
No snow..mother nature did not cooperate. The group was able to drive to Killington(1.25 hours away) and Okemo(30 minutes away) where they were making snow.
No printer available to guests. Tickets for local resorts can be purchased online and printed. They can be emailed to front desk.

Just returned from a very relaxing and enjoyable four night stay. Prior to our trip I was a bit apprehensive due to the negative reviews. However this resort exceeded our expectations. Here is a summary of our experience:

Location: the resort is located in a remote area. I highly recommend using a GPS. Unfortunately we arrived at night and got very lost. During the day the scenery is beautiful-rolling hills, farms and a quiet peaceful countryside. It's exactly what you would expect in Vermont. Be prepared to drive as the closest tourist attractions are approximately 20-30 minutes away.

Resort: our room was spacious updated and very well equipped. We have traveled to many destinations and this was the best room we have stayed in. It was a 2 bedroom with a beautiful view to Ascutney mountain. We are a family of five and had ample room. The kitchen was fully equipped making it easy to cook full meals. If you prefer not to cook theTavern was open for dinner and drinks and served your typical bar food. The fitness center was located in another building. To get there was a 5 minute walk or 30 second car drive. The fitness center had a workout room, racquetball, basketball and tennis courts along with an indoor pool. The kids enjoyed the indoor pool. Overall, the service was topnotch. Everyone was very friendly and accommodating. A special thanks to Helen, Ken, Ivan, and maintainence.

Attractions: Woodstock is a quaint town and a nice place to walk around and have lunch. The Billings farm is nearby.
Montshire museum is a hands on science museum for kids. Bring a picnic lunch and go on a nature hike or take a two minute drive to Hanover NH and have a bite to eat on Main street.
Quiechee village is also worth visiting. On the way there stop by Simon Pierce and take a tour of the pottery making and glass blowing. Harpoon Brewery is there as well and is a great place to have lunch.

This was a wonderful and relaxing family vacation. Unfortnately the mountain is closed for skiing this season but if you are looking for a peaceful getaway this resort won't disappoint.

We had a great time at this club vacation hotel. My and my sisters family stayed in a 3 bedroom apartment with our mom, a total of 9 people. The living room was big, kitchen, dining area and one bedroom and one bathroom on one floor. two bedrooms on upper floor and another bathroom.
Although they did not have the room ready when we arrived around 5 PM, they gave us another room in an adjacent building.
There are plenty of activities around. We had an adventurous day trip with the River Northeast and all nine of us did white water rafting in class 2 rapids. They were late because of traffic, but we had fun in the end. One of the rafts landed on a small rock in the middle of the river!!
The kitchen was fully stocked with pots and pans, so that helped us cook meals on the days that we did not go out. We stayed for a week.
The staff was friendly and helpful. There is a coffee machine in the main building and a small store. They have kids activities and movie screenings with popcorn.
Also has a nice swimming pool (huge) and gym (huge), in a separate building. Slides and swings for kids are also there next to the building.
Lots of stuff to do nearby, covered bridges visits. Quechee Gorge is not too far, and Simon Pearce is in the town of Quechee. we also visited Ben & Jerry's, Burlington, Billings farm museum, all nearby in sort of day trips. Then you come back and relax just like in your own home!
The hotel has a folder of nearby activities and places to eat that you can do in the main building.
Overall, great value for family stays together.

Too bad, there should be for this place, e.g., 'Awful!', 'Stay Away!'. At any rate, to continue:

Want to ski at Ascutney? You can't, the skiing is closed for the winter.
Want bread at Brown's? You can't get any, there isn't any put on the table. They will toast you a hamburger roll if you ask.
Want service at Brown's? You can't get it, there aren't enough wait staff in attendance to give you service.
Want heat in your condo or room? If the temp outside is 55 or above, there isn't any. The corporation has decided, from the comfort and warmth of their location in Orlando, FLORIDA, that you can't have any. A space heater will be provided for you until the temp goes down.
Want your room cleaned as part of your rates? You can't get it, they don't provide it. You'll have to pay either $15. a day or $26. a day, depending on which front desk person you ask.
Want a towel exchange instead, for $7. a day? Don't bother, they SEEM to be typing in your request, but then don't bother doing it.
Want to have your party together in one building and think you're getting your request in the contract? You can't get it, since they don't honor requests.
Want something to drink out of in your bathroom? You can't, they don't provide cups, you'll have to ask for cups from the front desk.

Want a nice stay at a well-run, efficient, customer-friendly resort for a decent price?

Well then do not stay at the Ascutney!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
