The breakfast is very good. Room is clean, staff are helpful. The location is very convenient, close to several restaurants (Bench is across street, Backyard is next door). Free Shuttle to Stowe is also near by.The only complaint is the shower water pressure is a little bit low. Will come back.

Cozy and rustic charm
I have stayed at the Field Guide about 10 times over the past 4 years. It is a quaint and cozy spot with genuinely helpful staff. The gem of the location is the first floor of the main lodge, which features several large living room spaces with fireplaces. People solo or in groups make use of these comfortable spaces to read, play games, enjoy each other’s company. The bar area features a small menu with a selection of food and drinks. They have a fairly nice beer and whiskey selection, making use of local producers. The rooms are clean, modern and functional within a rustic woodsy structure. The Summit rooms are larger, basically small suites. The location is close to the village, several restaurants within walking distance.

This property is very cute but needs some updates. We could hear the people above us morning and night and with small children jumping on/off furniture and running was a little frustrating as we tried to relax. The water in our room only ever got slightly warm which was tough when trying to warm up. The lobby is very cute and the staff seemed friendly and helpful. Some night time entertainment that was nice to see some town members as well as travelers. Loved our fireplace in our room, and very spacious.

Overall it was a very cute place and the lobby is charming, some parts of the property might need a bit of updating. We had some issues with the heat; we were in the separate building up the hill from the lodge. Although a very nice maintenance man came and adjusted it, it was either blasting hot and extremely loud, or completely off and quite cold. Probably just a very old system that could use updating. Probably not much insulation in the building.

Stay clear of this place
I recently stayed at this hotel, and unfortunately, my experience did not meet the expectations set by the online reviews and photos. After driving 5.5 hours, I was hoping for a relaxing stay, but I was quite disappointed. First, the parking lot is not paved and has no lighting, which made dragging my luggage through gravel in the dark challenging. The photos online also didn’t accurately reflect the actual hotel. I opted for an "upgrade" and stayed in Cottage 1 but was immediately disappointed upon arrival. The walls were so thin that I could hear every footstep from the floor above, every toilet flush, and even conversations from guests in the nearby hot tub as if they were in the same room. I reserved the hot tub before arriving, but after using it, I could not get rid of the overwhelming chlorine smell, even after 3 showers. It became so bad that I couldn't sleep, compounded by the constant noise from the AC unit outside my room that went off every few minutes. I raised my concerns with the front desk, but they didn't seem particularly concerned. I received a text about someone coming to fix the toilet, which was not even the issue I reported. Ultimately, I decided to check out early and move to a different hotel, as this was far from the relaxing experience I had hoped for. While I appreciate that the GM reached out and refunded the upgrade, it felt like too little, too late.
