The room was nice - comfortable bed huge luxurious bathroom. It was a bit irritating that we did not have full access to the hotel services. For example, since we booked through VRBO and not through the hotel, we could not get an ice bucket or drinking glasses until the owner dropped one off the next day. Something I have never seen a hotel room without. The manager/owner claimed it was not standard. A small thing, but sort of ridiculous. The front desk would not give them to us since we booked through VRBO.

Food at the hotel was NOT good, and expensive. If you stay here, go to Stowe or to Smugglers Notch to eat. There are some excellent restaurants there. I think there are better options off of the mountain. So if you are not there to ski, stay off mountain and get a bit more for your money. Again, a nice resort, but not really the best choice since you need to go off property to eat anyway. It IS central between Stowe and Smugglers. Since we were doing activities in both towns, it was a good mid-point. All in all we had a great time, I am just being critical since it was not cheap considering we were there BEFORE the leaf season. After three days in a fantastic place in Northern VT prior to this stay, that was privatey owned and less expensive, we did expect a bit more fro this property. (See my other reviews).
