We came because my brother's family recommended it. We keep going back because it offers a way to keep everyone in our family happy from age 6-80. And that isn't easy!
Obviously the view is the best part, but...
Burke Mountain is about 10 mins away for skiing and there are miles of XC trails, but my kids like the wide sledding hill, which is lit at night. They cannot get enough of that. Even the 18 year old. The restaurant feeds them a kid friendly meal and then the adults eat a very nice, peaceful meal while the kids are happily occupied with a movie, games or sledding. I am at ease letting them cross the street or sled alone because the inn feels so safe. This year clear nights revealed stars spangled skies and shooting stars for young sledders.
The innkeepers homeschooled 8 kids so they know family. Petting zoo, sleigh ride, snow shoe, spa. Something for everyone.
It is a clean and comfortable, kid friendly, dog friendly Vermont Inn. Some of the reviews seem shocked that it isn't a Hilton with gleaming marble everywhere. If the pictures on the wall are more important to you that the views out the window stay in the city.
