The mountain itself is fine, but the kids' lessons here are awful and a total waste of money. We…read morepaid $250 for a 2.5-hour lesson for our son, and there was essentially no real instruction. It felt more like ski daycare run by a group of teenage camp counselors than an actual lesson. To make matters worse, during the 2.5-hour lesson there was a 30-minute snack break -- which is a huge chunk of time when you're paying that much. It felt like a complete waste of both time and money. At least our son, who is an intermediate skier, got a couple of runs in. However, our friend's daughter was sent to the bunny slope, where she was basically just pushed down the hill by teenagers wearing sneakers. I don't understand how you're supposed to teach someone to ski if you're not even on skis yourself. Very disappointing experience, especially for the price.

3 Stars is fair for my first visit…read more Arrived little before 8:30 Presidents Day and as busy as it already was I still got decent parking. Walking up the steps was difficult with my ski boots, wish I snapped a picture but the stairs were poorly shoveled. The walkway was also poorly maintained filled with sugar snow, and it had not snowed in some time. Feel bad for anyone with a disability, would make it very difficult for them and their caretaker. I jumped into the small line to get my ticket outside. Only one window was open which was odd for a holiday. Guessing a manager walked over and told a family a couple people in front of me that there were ticket windows inside too. The lady and her kid who were in front of me soon followed as the family at the ticket window were having difficulty, I followed in as well. It's a tight space to begin with and no clear structure to where the line is. Some lady came from the lodge portion of the building and cut everyone which was rude of her. When I was next in line the same lady manager started yelling at everyone in line about how the line starts outside and so on. Completely threw my vibe of the place in a negative direction. I ignored her as she kept going on and handed the ticket man my Indi Pass and a $10 bill for the $5 RFID card needed. Super quick transaction and I was on my way. Lets talk about the mountain now. I enjoyed the terrain, there was plenty of snowpack which by 10:30 started getting icy. The sun was not out so flat light conditions which made skiing their double blacks on the main face a little more challenging. But absolutely loved the difficulty of those two runs. Wanted to zoom down them but with the flat light and not the sharpest of edges I played it safe. Stayed off the greens of the skiers right, looked for some woods to play in but really didn't have much in the way of them. Took 7 runs and called it a morning. Another thing that bothered me was their idea of where chairlift cans should go when empty. Most mountains have a trash can at the top where people can discard their empties there. Just before the last pole there was a large bin where I am assuming the mountain is promoting throw your empties here. I find it to be poorly thought out as the bin was full and there was trash all over the place. One gust of wind is blowing it all over the mountain which defeats the purpose of. For what it was I enjoyed the people I rode on the lift with, exploring a new mountain, and getting another day under my belt this season.

The room was cute with some very nice touches - a decorative chest with extra blankets topped with a welcome candy; extremely plush bathrobes and a first rate hair dryer. It felt like some care went into the planning. Which made the downsides quite surprising. They are as follows -Leftover bottles, half-consumed - in our fridge from what I assume were the last guests. -The breakfast pastries were truly abysmal. Croissants so hard and tasteless that we could not eat them. I understand continental means light however some granola and pastries that didn't feel like bricks would have been nice. Very odd as brunch the day before was so good. We bailed immediately an went instead down the road to Mom's Country Cafe. -Dinner not nearly as impressive as brunch. I had read the negative reviews about the service but most seemed to be from a Thanksgiving debacle last year so assumed things had improved. The one waiter (for what looked to be at least 25 diners) was working his tail off and truly did the best he could in am impossible situation. Why they did not learn from the Thanksgiving experience is hard to understand. But kudos to the waiter for juggling this with a smile. Our wheatberry salads were ok - passable but nothing special. -Inconsistencies in the check in process as well. Check in is at 4. We arrived around 1 and were told by the young woman at the desk to wait till at least 3:30 which was fine but felt odd as it seemed like there was hardly anyone else staying there. They do offer early check in for $50 which IMO is ridiculous and unwelcoming. We went for a hike and returned around 3. The now gentleman at the desk told us our room was ready. In fact he said "the text letting us know how to access our room key is our signal that the room is ready." Interesting because I received that text at 1pm. The staff is friendly for the most part though front desk staff exuded some false sincerity and it seemed like our questions were a bit of an annoyance.

Nice stay. This resort offers a variety of accommodation levels. The buildings are two or three…read morestories high. There are no elevators. Some units are 'ground level' but located one level down from the parking lot in some cases. These have direct access to picnic tables and charcoal grills on the lawn. The upper levels have patios with tables. I believe they are time-shares, but we stayed for a week, booked through a third party site. Our unit was two bedroom, two bath. We had a small full kitchen with just about everything you could need to cook a meal. The dining table seats four and dishes accommodate eight. The sofa pulls out into a sofa bed. The furnishing were in good condition and the appliances clean. We were given dishwasher tablets, dish soap and a sponge, trash bags, four sets of towels and pool towels. Washer and dries are free and guests wash their own towels or pay eleven dollars for set to swap them out with housekeeping. On-site amenities include putt putt golf, basketball, volleyball, two outdoor pools, two indoor pools, hot tub, sauna, daily crafts in the activity center, an arcade, Karaoke in the bar, a snack bar where you can get burgers and the like, a movie theater, a community patio, shuffleboard, weight room and playground. I may be missing something, but there is a lot to keep you and the kids busy without leaving the resort. We were given a schedule of events and movies playing when we checked in. The kitchen includes a full size fridge with freezer, microwave, stove with oven, and dishwasher plus coffee maker and toaster. I brought along containers for storing left overs (I brought lots of food), extra paper towels, my chef's knives and a few other kitchen essentials that I often find missing but were included here. The coffee cups are 6oz so if you like a big mug - bring your own. There were a few wine glasses. Guests throw their trash and recycling in the dumpsters located near their building before departure. If you run out of paper towels or need laundry detergent or charcoal briquettes there is a small shop in the activity center. There was plenty of TP in the bathrooms. The towels and sheets were in good condition and the bed comfortable. The weather was in the 90's during our stay and the AC kept the unit nice and cool throughout our stay. Hot water took quite a while to reach temperature, but once there, there was plenty of it and the water pressure was good. I wasn't a fan of the shower being 'in' the room. One bedroom has a separate bathroom. The other has a small room for the toilet while the shower/tub and vanity are 'in' the room. Very 1970's. Your room 'key' is a wrist band that is connected to your credit card. You, or your kids, can use this wrist band to buy arcade tokens, purchase food at the snack bar and so on. Train tracks run past the property and they do blow their whistle when passing through at all hours. There is quite a lot to do in the surrounding area and this location makes a good 'jumping off' spot. We spent our days being tourists in the area, and our evenings sharing a meal on the deck with family. Would stay again.

We had no idea what to expect but the photos online looked nice. We were beyond ecstatic when we checked in & met the owner Corey. He was friendly, professional & customer service is his middle name! The property is gorgeous, beautifully maintained & all rooms completely renovated when he purchased the inn in April of this year. They spared no expense in furnishings & finishes & thought of every needed amenity. You have self check in/out using electronic keypad locks. Rooms are spacious & beautifully designed from the bedroom to the bathroom including retro refrigerator, small table with chairs, and lamps with usb ports. The sliding glass doors at the back of the room let in tons of light during the day & the room darkening curtains allowed us to sleep in peacefully. The property has a beautiful front lawn with adirondack chairs for lounging & table with chairs if you want to enjoy your meals outside or play a board game. My favorite was the swing chair on the porch of the office where I enjoyed a brief relaxing time one night after returning from dinner. The inn's location is central to tons of activities including a sculpture garden, wineries, farms, great restaurants & the Norman Rockwell museum where we viewed the MAD magazine exhibit. The property is meticulously maintained & Corey is always available to assist with any needs. We had a small issue with our door lock & he was onsite immediately to resolve it, even bringing us some delicious cheese & crackers from a local cheese shop for the difficulty. To me the sign of a great business is not one with no bumps/small challenges but the way the owner/management handles that issue, & East Rock Inn gets an A++ for customer service & guest care. I cannot recommend this inn enough & we will definitely be planning our next trip there soon!
