Yuk. Blechh.. We're still trying to spit out the bad flavors from the breakfast food prepared for the 3 mornings we were there. Of course, the wall is lined with awards for the spouse of the Inn Keeper you usually dealt with, but you'd never discover what she could do in the kitchen during your stay. The husband probably convinced himself he was a cook but we were NOT impressed. First morning, the omelette was BURNT, and had a weird selection of ingredients that caused the aftertaste to linger far too long. The next morning was pancakes, and those were OKAY. The last morning was this baked dish of disgusting cheeses, a hint of egg, and overloaded with bread where we couldn't stomach even the 3rd bite. And the fruit, on that last day; which seemed to be a honeydew melon was so bitter, the male Inn Keeper tried to doctor it up with honey and lime juice that made us think we were forcing COD LIVER OIL down our stomachs. Terrible.
The super expensive rooms were decent, in the main Inn, but so small you had to scoot around the edge of the bed sideways to get to the bathroom, and you'd bust your head on the slanted ceiling en route. The bathroom and bathtub were decent, and the outdoor hot tub was nice.
Overall, the Inn was nice, but the female of the Inn-Keeping duo had an unexpected death that weekend, and we were left there not knowing where to find ice and other amenities like extra shampoo or towels while they stepped out for one of the evenings.
Oh yeah. The ski resort shuttle was NOT operating while we skied for the Sat. / Sun. of our stay. And Okemo, was pretentious in that there were hardly ANY dressing room areas, and they would not tell you a trail was closed at the summit; ONLY after arriving there in the chair lift; and discovering the only trails available were way above your skiing ability.

Carl and Elizabeth,
I am saddened by your review. You did seem to enjoy everything while you were here.
The omlette fillings are varied so that guests may choose, creating an omlette based on their personal tastes. I don't think I have ever had another guest instruct me' to put it all in there' . I am sorry the bottom of the omlette got quite dark while I tried to cook everything that you ordered into the pan.
Honeydew Melon is green, the orange fruit you hated was papaya. I had a South American guest tell me that the authentic way to serve it is to add honey and lime. I am sorry you were not familiar with the fruit .
The savory bread and cheese soufflé is a favorite of many repeat guests. I am sorry it wasn’t to your liking.
The sloped ceiling in Summit View is both mentioned and pictured on our website. You chose that room, we did not choose it for you.
It is heartwarming to know that the pancakes were OK anf that you did like the outdoor hot tub.
Lastly, I am sorry about the unexpected health change of Irene's father to whom we were very close and certainly you should understand our need to be with Irene's mother on Christmas day. We felt the Inn was well taken care of in our absence, but I apologize that extra shampoo and ice were not on top of my mind.
Sincerely,
Michael Maston, Innkeeper
