There are significantly better options

This hotel is possibly the worst hotel in the area. I’ve stayed here twice and both times I’ve regretted it. Paper thin walls, dated ascetic, and zero staff. If you want stay at a boarding house then go for it.

Great hotel, very relaxing. I would definitely recommend. Also, I had never heard of Waitsfield before staying here and it was a very nice town. Some great views of fall foliage, great food and just a cool vibe all around.

Fall Foliage Must Stay

The place was right by a scenic spot looking towards a mountain view. The room was spacious, comfortable, and the owner, John, very welcoming, friendly, and personable. This place is a "definitely coming back" "must stay" spot if you want to be close to everything.
