Several years ago I stayed at the the Horizon Inn with my children for a ski vacation at Mount Snow. Before we arrived, we were told that Mount Snow was only about ten or fifteen minutes from the Inn. We were also told that we could see Mount Snow from the Inn.
When we arrived, we could not see Mount Snow. When we asked, the owner pointed a mountain way, way, way far off and told us that was the BACK of Mount Snow!
The drive from the Horizon Inn to Mount Snow is easily 30 minutes, over twisty, winding mountain roads. Contrary to the comments of others here, it is NOT a 15 minute drive. I should know, having driving this route more than sixteen times.
Please see the attached review photo, showing the route between the two points.
The Inn is not a bad place to stay. The management was nice and the rooms were comfortable. But I feel that the dishonesty regarding the proximity to Mount Snow negates these factors and earns this establishment a lower score. Had management been upfront with us about the distance to the ski area, we would have stayed elsewhere.
