At this point we have sampled just about everything on the menu, including the weekend brunch and you just can't go wrong with what you order. So, this review is a little overdue but so well deserved! Most recently, we made a reservation for after our daughter's graduation with a group of 13. They welcomed us right in and were incredibly accommodating, even when a few more folks joined at the last minute. That kind of flexibility and friendliness really goes a long way in a small-town! The service was top-notch! A genuinely friendly staff, attentive, and well-organized despite the size of our group. Even better, all of the food came out promptly, hot, and fresh, which everyone appreciated. Every single person at the table left happy with their experience and will be back for another meal soon. The staff is more than deserving of positive recognition and praise. We highly recommend stopping in for a hometown experience. Whether you're coming from out of your way or just right down the road, come check out this wonderful hidden gem. you won't be disappointed. Cheers!

My husband and I were married at the Skinner Barn Columbus Day weekend 2014. Feeling a bit…read morenostalgic after a recent trip back to the area, I decided to look up the barn on Yelp. I was completely shocked to see some negative reviews, and felt compelled to share my own experience... My husband and I met with Peter after finding the Skinner Barn online. We live in MA and drove up to meet with Peter and check out the barn. It was the first venue we looked at, and we were completely sold on the absolutely stunning, picturesque barn... But also on Peter. He was very kind, and he was happy to provide us with a great deal of information on not only his venue, but anything and everything we asked about. He very clearly has a system. If you run a decent business- you better have a system to keep it running that way. Cars are to be parked in a certain area. He guides the guests to where they need to go. He is around for the whole night making sure that everything is running smoothly. The music can not be excessively loud- he has neighbors. Yes it's your day, ladies, but we can all still be considerate of others don't you think? Anyway, there was absolutely nothing wrong with Peter or his attitude. My makeup artist actually told me that I was the most stress free bride she had ever seen. Mostly because my view was that getting married trumps all of the details. Every single one of them... but I'm sure that Peter being so kind, caring, and accommodating had a little bit to do with that as well. Excuse the novel I've got going here, but it is very upsetting to me to see people say anything negative about this very nice man and his gorgeous venue. My husband and I loved it so much that we are planning to renew our vows at the Skinner Barn on our 10th anniversary. I suggest you check out the Peter and Skinner Barn for yourself before hopping to any false conclusions.

As the MC and brother-in-law of the bride for a wedding at Skinner Barn this October, I am obliged…read moreto write the following review in order to warn others of the hidden costs and tyrannical nature of the owner, Peter Boynkin. I should start by saying my family had a wonderful time and a beautiful wedding at the barn. The setting and the interior are great, perfectly rustic, and we could not be more thrilled with the outcome. Most importantly, the bride loved it. However, the interactions with the owner, Peter, were inconsistent in their messaging from day one, and ended very poorly. Peter is a former actor who moved to VT and bought the barn where he hosts performances in addition to weddings. Being an actor, he is adept at turning on the charm and selling you up front as he did my sister-in-law. However when it comes to the week and day of the wedding he shows a different side: 1) Springing hidden, not previously mentioned costs at the last minute when its impossible to back out. $75 PER HOUR to set up and rehearse. Why not charge a flat fee and put it in the contract? 2) Walking around micro-managing various aspects of the wedding day, including being rude to guests who don't follow his meticulous parking instructions. 3) The topper: at the end of the night with the wedding party understandibly looped and on a high, demanding that we BREAK DOWN THE ENTIRE venue THAT NIGHT (we did a lot of the wedding ourselves). This was at 10pm at night! Unbelieveable because Peter had agreed up front (verbally) to let us come back the day after to pick up our items such as tablecloths, a photobooth, table settings, etc. He also said several times "well it's in the contract" (news to us) and showed zero empathy when we reasonably explained we were in no state to do so, had not been informed of this UNTIL THAT MINUTE, and would be back tomorrow to pick up our things. It was thankfully a minor blemish on a wonderful night. But it left a terrible taste in our mouths. The next day when we returned to gather our things, Peter had left them outside the locked barn, and would not even cross the street from his house to speak to us. Maybe he was practicing a new role: bi-polar asshole. If so, well done Peter, we think you nailed it.

Five of us recently stayed at the Slide Brook Lodge and had a great time. We rented the 5 bed…read moreprivate apt upstairs (the efficiency) for about $200 with tax. At $40/person/night, this was an unbeatable deal. The private apt can house five or even six (if two people share a full bed). The apartment was perfect for us. The beds were really comfortable, and the kitchen was great for breakfast in the morning before hitting the slopes, and the washer/dryer helped to dry wet gloves. There was a large flatscreen tv and comfortable living room (shared with the other hotel guests, but we never saw anyone using it) and also a really great outdoor hottub that we used everyday. Sugarbush is a mile away (and there's a bus stop across the street from the lodge). On the ground floor of the lodge is crowded tavern with great live music, and a foosball table. Sometimes the music would be audible from the room, but it was never a huge problem. Alex took good care of us and made great suggestions on things to do/eat in the area. He was also nice enough to let us checkout in the late afternoon (which meant we could shower before our long drive home on our last day of skiing). Besides our private apt upstairs, the other rooms of the lodge are small and bare and hostel-like. Check the website for pictures of those. You wouldn't call this place luxurious per se, but for a group of young people it's perfect -- really comfortable and affordable and got the job done. Highly recommended.

I just love this ridiculous place…read more My family has a vacation home in the valley, and whenever possible on Saturdays we try to take the drunk bus (free shuttle service on saturday nights) over to Slidebrook or Tevere. Things to know about Slidebrook: 1) Crowd is mixed at the bar, but often includes rowdy young 20-somethings staying at the hotel. Shenanigans often ensue, but there are always folks of all ages here. 2) The space itself is pretty freaking small, but I love this about it. Super intimate, great skibar layout. They cram the band in the corner and make it work. Awesome acoustics is a bonus. 3) The bartenders (little Jenny and big Jenny) are the shit. They are the PERFECT bartenders - a mix of super fun and inappropriate with a hint of "will smack a brotha down if he gets out of hand". Really great and hilarious people. 4) The bands are always sick. Dancing ensues. 5) There is a hottub upstairs that you can just go use. It is infamous and often full of drunk kids from New Jersey. But hey, you only live once. Highly recommend this place, just ignore whatever the 21 year olds are doing and go with a group of friends. We always end up staying way later than intended.
