If you are looking for a real Vermont experience, The Moose Meadow Lodge is a great start to the journey. This beautiful home with cabin vibes has brilliant decor and character throughout the property. The amenities are far beyond what you'll find listed, thanks to the selfless owners, Greg and Willie. At the very least, you'll have a very comfortable stay. Greg and Willie will go above and beyond to make sure your overall visit to Vermont is worthwhile. We decided to travel to Vermont last minute for New Year's Eve. We booked the Moose Meadow Lodge on the drive up. We were welcomed with open arms. Greg showed us around the property, the lobby shop, brought us to our room and explained all the unique and exciting details of the house and property. We woke up each morning to a beautifully prepared breakfast. Since our trip was so last minute, we didn't have much of a plan. Greg was kind enough to sit down with us and help us map out our entire journey. He even helped us map an alternate route home that was more scenic. We didn't get to everything on the list, but everything he mentioned was perfect. You can tell he has a genuine love and passion for what he does. His advice and planning alone made the experience excellent. I can go on and on about the perfect stay we had. You can tell Greg and Willie are very passionate about what they do. You will never experience this kind of attention and care at a hotel. We are already planning our next stay here.

Nestled in the grounds of the lovely retreat, Gather offers a small but well refined menu. Located outdoors, lawn-side candlelit tables ring 2 fire pits. These have comfy chairs for enjoying a pre-dinner cocktail. The atmosphere is classy and casual with friendly hosts and severs who take time to answer menu questions and be sure you have what you would like. With a full bar, vast wine and beer list featuring local selections, and a variety of non-alcoholic beverage options, there is something for everyone. Our meal began with a flavor packed broth soup, featuring lemon, parsley, chicken and rice. The hearty portion was perfect for 3 to share. Next came the salads: baby greens with pickled onions and homemade vinaigrette, and rubbed kale with cranberries and nuts. Delicious! The swordfish main is crafted with an amazing balance of sweet blueberry sauce and a touch of cayenne to make the flavors pop. The chicken dish featured a tasty glaze and features grilled lemon, a surprise twist. Both mains were served with a veggie side and atop smashed potatoes- creamy and flavorful, and with lots of texture. Dinner was capped by the featured dessert, blueberry lemon panna cotta. So smooth, creamy, and heavenly! Just the right amount of citrusy syrup to complement the richness. Gather features fresh and local ingredients. This family owned and run restaurant is one of many endeavors Lisa and Jonathan Burr have successfully fully created. You will not be disappointed with your Gather dining experience!

We chose Bliss for our wedding venue, and even though our wedding day is yet to come, I already…read morecould not be happier that we did. This is not only due to the Vermont beauty and magic of the place; it also due to the property owner, Jordan Von Trapp. From the minute we met Jordan, her warmth, enthusiasm, and experience was clear. Throughout the wedding planning process, she could not have been more helpful, or made us feel more assured or excited about our wedding day. Any challenge we encountered in the process (none with her), she helped us sort out instantly, and her creativity knows no bounds. She is always fair and client-centered in her decision making, never pushy, and always personable. And her attention to details is astounding; for instance, when we first met and were talking flowers, I told her casually that I wanted to get tulips for the ceremony to honor a loved one who had passed. Months later, unprompted, she told me that she saw tulips at the grocery store during the month we were going to be married, to let me know they were seasonal. Planning a wedding is tough, but not when you have Jordan on your team; I can't stress enough how important having such an experienced venue owner/wedding coordinator all rolled into one has been for us, because unexpected things (COVID!), do happen along the way. She also knows everyone in the biz, and will give you the honest inside scoop. Her excellence is to the point that every single person I spoke with during the planning process was singing her praises, to an extent that it was almost annoying: it was so frequent and so gushing, and nothing new...I know how great she is, as does everybody else (LOL). It is also noteworthy that this is my first yelp review ever. Can't say enough wonderful things about her and about this place!!!

Several films are scheduled per week, with staggered show times.

If you hear about an indy film that you think will never get shown in Vermont, wait a couple of weeks, and it will come to the Savoy.

Stuff was all over the hallways, our room was incredibly dusty, windows were filthy, and there were ladybugs all over. The owner tried telling us they are all over VT inns at this time of year.

We left as soon as possible before breakfast.
