My girlfriend and I decided on a last minute ski trip to Vermont for NYE. After searching for quiet a bit we came upon the Old Red Mill. Most Inns and Hotels in the mount snow valley had inflated their prices drastically for NYE. Old Red was the only place that only slightly raised prices and was by far the least expensive.

After reading reviews we decided to take a chance on it. We were quiet surprised. We loved the Old Red Mill. The staff was really nice and the restaurant was very good. The main entrance has great character, decorated with relics from its past as a saw mill. Loved the huge indoor fire pit. I must say the other reviews are correct though, the rooms are tiny and they can be quiet noisy if the down stairs restaurant is busy and/or you have loud neighbors, but we couldn't complain for the price we paid, which also included continental breakfast from 7:30-9:30am. We had a riverside room which had a really nice view of the river which was literally feet away. I'd recommend these river rooms over the street side. The room was very clean, small but cozy. The bathroom is tiny! If your a large guy you might not fit in the shower!

Old Red is in a great area, within walking distance to many great restaurants and taverns. Had a great breakfast at Dots around the corner, Fennessey's is a nice place for dinner with good service compared to other places in the area. A brew at Maple Leaf across the street is a must also. If your skiing, the free shuttle called the MOOver is right outside next to the church. I choose to drive, Mt snow is literally on the same road about 15 minutes away. easy drive.

I would have to agree that the bedroom walls are paper thin and the showers/furnishings/rooms/fixtures somewhat outdated, but you get what you pay for. The rooms are however very clean. The Inn itself is very rustic and quite charming downstairs. Janet was wondeful and very hospitable and helpful.

This place is great...great value for money... great value for money...good restaurant and great bar as well as the Brew Company down the street.

The walls are thin and the rooms are basic but it is clean, comfortable, warm and the inn has a great ambiance.

Would definitely recommend this place and will be back

My boyfriend and I stayed at the Old Red Mill February 11th 2006. It exceeded our expectations. The rooms are small, about the size of a cruise ship cabin, but extremely clean. Don't go expecting lavish amenities, afterall it is in Vermont. There is a small TV in the room that gets all the cable stations, it even has a DVD player. There isn't a phone in the room, if you want to use the phone there are 2 that you can use within the hotel.
The staff was friendly and went out of the way to accomodate us.

We ate at the restaurant for dinner and the food was average but the service was great. Take a walk down the street where you will find other restaurants that are more reasonable. The room rate included breakfast and I must say it was the best breakfast I have ever seen a hotel include. It was cooked to order and your choice between eggs, french toast or pancakes. They also had fruit and cereal as well.

Bottom line is that the Old Red Mill was a great place to stay. It is convenient to Mount Snow and Haystack. Although accomodations are small they are extremely clean rooms... We would absolutely stay again. Great value for money...
