Owner was so pleasant and great at checking us in. Room was so spacious as was the bathroom. Great river behind the inn and got me hooked on Sleepy Time tea. Great little breakfast with homemade coffee cake. Would definitely return!!!

Sub standard. Parking is not paved, just dirt and gravel. Bed was hard and lumpy. No hair dryer. Room heater did not work. To describe as rustic would be too kind. Wifi would not stay connected.

It sounds like you were generally unhappy with your stay. The driveways in Vermont are often not paved because our state is ecologically friendly and paved driveways cause water runoff. I'm surprised that you were uncomfortable in our beds given that many of our reviews mention how comfortable the beds are. We have hair dryers and we include that info in the guide that is placed in every room. I'm not sure what you mean room heater. We have two brand new gas fired furnaces heating the motel. I do have problems with wifi even though we have the most powerful system our provider offers. I have been told by a guest that an extender is possibly the answer so we have one on order. I will tell you another fact we actually sterilize each room after every guest leaves because motels are often sited as being very germ laden. Thank you for your input . We gather info where ever we can get it even if it is inaccurate we consider every ones point of view.

We liked that it was in Hardwick as that's where our function was, However the Inn is under renovations. Our room was small and the shower was the size of a phone booth! Bed was comfy and pillows was comfortable. Staff was very friendly.

This place was a disaster. We did not want to stay there once we saw the property. Roof tiles were coming off, the grounds were a mess, farm or snow equipment out. The entrance hallway had no door. The woman who greeted me was friendly but I was speechless about where we had landed. I felt mislead from the posting on your site about this "Inn" and also about how far it was from NVU in Lyndonville where my daughter was graduating from which was the reason for the trip. We didn't stay even though I was told there would be no refund as it was less than 24 hour notice. We were ready to sleep in the car. I heard from a local that there may be new owners who may be fixing up the place-I don't know- and God bless them, but I am not likely to book through you again.

Dear Disenchanted,
I'm sorry that you were so unhappy with our motel. You presented your concern to me as simply the distance to your meeting in Lyndenville, which we have no control over and did not represent to you one way or the other. I wish you had expressed your dismay over our property and allowed me to show you our rooms and I think you would have felt differently. We have cozy and scrupulously clean rooms with knotty pine walls, nice duvets and spreads, plush towels, flat screen TVs, large mini fridges with separate working freezers, and nice new microwaves. We are working hard to improve the motel but I think you would have been very comfortable had you given us a chance. This is rural Vermont and we have a gravel driveway that requires maintenance in the spring (the snow just left here a few weeks ago) so there was indeed a farm tractor in the yard for leveling the driveway. We are in the middle of having a brand new standing seam roof applied (the best roof you can buy) and the part that is still an old roof does look awful, but it does not leak. We have a nice front door; it was propped open to welcome our guests. We are expanding our lobby and also adding a stairway to a lovely large knotty pine lounge room upstairs to offer our guests more of an Inn experience. In the meanwhile the hall directly in front of the lobby has a 3 foot wide strip of plywood floor and we appreciate our guests overlooking that. You didn't mention our yard but as happens in the spring we are trimming trees, planting flowers and setting up pick-nick tables, chairs and campfire/barbecue equipment as well as opening the pool to make our three acres of land even more enjoyable for any guests that want to take advantage of it. If you caught us in the middle of making these improvements and were offended we do apologize.
