A unique experience staying above a pub by the river. Simple space suited for sleeping. The bed was comfortable and linens fresh and crisp. I felt a bit like I was in a scene from the Hobbit. I would return again.
The only issue was that the hair dryer at the hotel wasn't working. Other than that, all was well and check-in was easy. I liked the fact that the hotel room included earplugs in the event of noise. Although it really wasn't that noisy.
Great place for a one night stay to ski near by. Clean room and great pizza in the brewery.

The inn above this bar is a quirky place to stay. The rooms are basic - no coffee maker, TV, or other amenities - but the bed was comfortable and the bathroom clean. (Running a vaccum cleaner in the rooms and on the stairs once in a while would be a good idea.) As far as noise, the bar usually closes at 10, so that was not an issue. The staff at the bar were all very cool, and the food and beer there were quite good. The location is beautiful, looking out over the little river that runs through the town. Checkin and checkout are completely virtual, so don't expect to speak to a person when you get there.
Great place for a couple of nights close to Mount Snow. Clean enough and comfortable enough. The highlight besides the location was the pub on the first floor! Great food and staff!
I work hard and needed the perfect relaxing place. We booked a night while we were passing through town and it was exactly what we needed. The atmosphere was what you would expect from a Vermont establishment. The beer was great, the meatballs were literally amazing. At first I felt the price of the pizza was a bit high but after eating it I had zero regrets, worth it.
Our room was above the bar and provided ear buds. We wouldn’t need them on this night because we may have been the only guests. The room was minimal with no air conditioning, television or other modern amenities to ruin the sounds of the river outside our window. The peeping frogs were a nice touch also.
We give this place a 10 out of 10. Get the pizza.
Room were fairly clean staff were wonderful. For the price and location this is great. Beds are a bit hard and no microwave to heat up leftovers. Fair warning also no tv in rooms. Overall very satisfied and I’d stay again. Good live music played till 10pm Friday and Saturday so Mae sure you’re okay with that
Very easy check in process. They let us know due to it being a pub, it would be loud, but it was very quiet and easy to sleep! The pub area was lovely and had a huge chimney fire for everyone to enjoy and keep warm. The room was clean and well kept! Great experience!
