It is close to Mt Snow ski resort. The property is well kept. It's clean with modern interior. I have no complaint except suggestion of a one page manual / channel guide for the TV. So we do not have to spend time figuring out and get to the channel in an most inefficient way. In addition, the breakfast can be improved a bit. Coffee is weak. Juice (we try apple and orange) are low quality brand which taste bad. These things should not cost much to improve.

Steve and Caroline are really nice folks who run a great little lodge right down the street from Mt.Snow. The proximity to the Mt. is awesome and there’s even a shuttle stop right outside to take you to the lifts. The place has an old school vibe but the beds are up to snuff and it’s cozy so I slept well both nights I was there. Add to that hot Breakfast cooked to order and you’re all set for a day on the mountain! I’d definitely stay there again!
