“Good location to slopes, good breakfast, rooms just OK, pricey”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 25 January 2011

you can walk 4 minutes , 150 yds. to Carinthia lift . Lodge sells lift tickets in advance of your arrival, so it was very convenient to park at Inn, get lift tickets, leave our car there and walk or take Moover (bus) to lifts. The Inn is 50 years old and it shows in some ways: drafty windows that don't open and the heating system in the room was seriously up to about 85 degrees that we were baking ! Room #106. Small rooms. No TV/phone in rooms. Common TV area, pool table and BYOB bar is nice. $260 nite 4 people holiday weekend. Breakfast was good w/ variety of choices.

“Friendly place, but if you're a "clean freak", might not be the place for you.”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 March 2010

My husband and I stayed here recently on a ski weekend. The location is great - within walking distance from Mount Snow & the Snow Barn. The owners were excellent hosts. They made a point of meeting everyone and asking if there was anything anyone needed. There is a common area with a TV and a cozy common area with a fireplace and comfortable seating. It sets the stage for a wonderful time meeting other guests, which we really enjoyed. There aren't TVs in most of the rooms, (not a problem for us). The cons were the general cleanliness and not so comfortable beds. Some of it may be due to "end of season", but the place could use a good scrub.

“Great location, bad to realize eventually you have to sleep there...”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 March 2010

Pros:
-Great common areas, the food was good (though we only had breakfast as dinner was not being served the weekend we were there).
-Great location, walking distance of Carinthia and the Snow Barn.
-Super friendly Innkeeper, very laid back atmosphere.
-BYOB
-Good water pressure in the shower.
-Friendly staff
-Free WiFi

Cons:
-Extremely uncomfortable beds! Very hard, old bedding.
-Tiny rooms
-We could hear the conversations of people across the hall and next door. Paper thin walls...
-The lights on the outside of the Inn were so bright, and our curtains so thin, that it was like day time at night :(
-Again, old bedding. Honestly, our room made me feel like we were at camp. Not what you want after a day on the mountain...
-Overly hot! We had to keep the window open. Very hot and dry.
-The dining room staff dressed in sweats and enormous t-shirts. This looked unprofessional and like they had just rolled out of bed. Not appealing.
-The WiFi kept slowing down, stopping our Netflix movie we were watching online. Annoying when there are no tvs in the rooms and you just want to chill and watch a movie before heading out.

“The owners, the food and the great common area that draws people together are why I like this place.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 September 2009

Service was very good. The Inn Keepers were very pleasant and made time for conversation as I recalled my last stay's here in the 1960's. Updates to the facility since then are appropriate, yet the charm of the Inn and the large common area remains intact. The breakfast was very good and hearty not dainty. The owners, the food and the great common area that draws people together are why I like this place.
The room was clean, simple and basic, not at all fancy. That worked for me and I'm sure contributed to the competetive pricing. We will return. Might even bring some family.

“An Old Fashioned Ski Lodge Experience”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 June 2009

The ambience of this old lodge added to a wonderful ski week at Mt. Snow. Having skied for over 30 years, we were taken back to the ski lodge of earlier times.
On either side of the lobby were three levels. On one end were the corridors leading to the plain, cozy rooms - no phones, TVs, hairdriers. On the other end, the lower level had a room with a pool table, an old upright piano, guest fridge and microwave and a large bar area with fireplace. The middle level was the dining room that overlooked the back lawn, covered with snow, and the large hot-tub. The top level was a living area, another fireplace, and a grand piano that the owner played every evening before dinner. The week we were there he focused on early Broadway composers.
Three meals were included in our program, a large breakfast to order, lunch brought to the mountain, and wonderful dinners - our choice of two entrees made at the morning breakfast. The food was excellent and the staff of young international students was so pleasant.
We enjoyed the week, the skiing, the lodge, staff and the meals.
