POOR HOSPITALITY: I was hoping to be contacted immediately last night or even this morning, to be informed we'd in fact receive late check-out.  (1 EXTRA HOUR.) I and my significant other are many time returning guests at the lodge "Grand Summit" Unfortunately yesterday I was escorted down the mountain by ski patrol to first aid.  I have a lower back injury, complete external hip rotation, and thigh muscle injury.  I am barely able to walk. Multiple individuals had refused us regarding a late check-out over the phone from our room where I am contained. My boyfriend went to the front desk concierge in person and was again refused.  Then I myself, was forced to limp down to the lobby in TEARS to plead with these individuals.  After 20 minutes, they did not even have an ice pack in their first aid kit for me. They do NOT pride themselves on customer service or hospitality.  This is very disheartening and very disappointing.  It has been customary for us to stay here over ski season and now we will be forced to look elsewhere, furthermore.. This will not be the last of my proclamation of this incident. It's quite frankly crewel. We had much with us and many items to pack and load.  Again, I am in severe pain and need to be lying down with ice, not packing and lugging my belongings.  Even a mere extra hour would have been some sort of conciliation. I find it quite extraordinary not even for a guest who sustained substantial injuries they could have provided this  "LATE CHECK OUT" 1 mere hour. Mind you I'm positive house keeping could have circled back around. To be honest they probably wouldn't have gotten to the room by 12pm because they never have, in my many experiences at the Grand Summit over the course of years.  An atrocity. On my way to the hospital.

Table shoved up against the kitchen storage cabinet

Never. The worst place I've ever stayed in my entire life. Asked for a room with a king bed and Mountain View. Our room stinks like cigarettes. The bed pulls out of the wall! We have no Mountain View. Our view is the back of a utility/maintenance shed. Our table is slammed up against the kitchen cabinet so we can't even get to the silverware. The room is so cramped and bizarre. It's like we're staying in a kitchen. We called the front desk to ask for another room as this is not what was presented to us when making the reservation. They did nothing to fix the situation and they were rude. Crystal even laughed at me on the phone, zero customer support. The manager was flustered and overwhelmed. Because apparently we weren't the only ones staying here that were miserable. The manager did nothing to fix our situation. It also takes over 20 minutes for the valet to get your car. (You HAVE to valet, there are few options to independently park and the couple spots get taken quickly) There's only ONE valet! This place is a mess. I strongly discourage anyone from staying here. We tried to keep the lights off and I tried not to wear my glasses so that I wouldn't have to see the deplorable conditions of my living situation for the weekend. I also never unpacked because I was in denial that I actually had to reside in this dump for three days. So basically, invite someone over that smokes. Have them smoke like two packs of cigarettes in your kitchen. Blindfold yourself, hop in your kitchen sink with a pillow and you'll get the full mount snow grand summit experience without having to spend any money.

Highly recommend if you are looking for a spot to ski and stay or just stay. We have not one complaint after spending a weekend here. From valet service to attentive staff when you arrive, you feel welcomed. The check in was simple and quick. They have a restaurant called Harriman's with a bar (see review) inside of the resort. They also have a deli you can eat at. This resort is located right at the bottom of mt. Snow so it is literally ski on/ski off. They have a place to check your boards/skis so you don't have to bring the dirty wet equipment up to your room. There is an arcade for the kids and a heated pool and two hot tubs. The pool and hot tubs look out to the mountain which is beautiful. There is also a sauna, steam room and fitness center. The fitness center includes a plethora of weights and resistance equipment as opposed to your average hotel gym. The rooms were spacious and clean. They included a little kitchen with full sized fridge. The kitchen had a stove, toaster, microwave, coffee maker, and sink. Not sure if there was an oven. If you get tired of the deli or restaurant there are other places to eat and drink within a short driving distance away.

Such an inviting entry to the lodge!

We had a very enjoyable stay for an evening at Mount Grand Summit Resort. The fall colors surrounding the lodge were beautiful. And, for the peak leaf season in the area we found the nightly room rate to be very affordable & competitive. Also, checking their deals online we found an offer for ski lift rides for use on one day of their stay. Definitely check their actual website, and then I called their reservation line (only available during business hours) and the room package was $30 cheaper through them! Upon check-in your first impression of the resort is "mountain grandeur" from the large beams, rustic aesthetic, & large, lit stone fireplace in the center of the lobby. The check-in process went so quickly & the lobby attendant is great to explain parking options, dining options, and navigation of the property. We went to our room on the 3rd floor and were satisfied with the conditions. It was clean, and the bed was comfortable. The only reason I rate the whole experience a 4/5 is the room we had was next to guests who were very loud. The walls seemed unusually thin - so i discounted the rating for how easy it was to hear all their noise. And the shower head was very low for people of average height & the bathroom space was cramped. (It's possible these were only issues with a king room as well due to the layout.) Be certain to check out the farm to table restaurant in the lobby. It's fantastic!

Creepy security guard spying on all the people in the pool.  He even turned to look at my while I took his photo.

Do not stay here. The security guard at the pool was creeping over every person there through the fitness area windows. He asked my wife to smell her drink that she had in her hand when we went to the pool, unacceptable. He made all the the kids in the pool and adults very uncomfortable. When I approached him to express our concern, his reply was. "Thank you for letting me know, I will observe from another location." The other location was out on the pool deck. This security guard made my kids so uncomfortable that we left the pool area. We will never stay at this resort again purely because of this situation. This statement was made to the woman at the front desk.

I'm not a skier, nor do I play one on TV. But I recently attended a wedding held at the Grand Summit, and I suppose I would have been able to get the full experience had I gone during ski season, as well as knowing what to even do about it. But the hotel was a solid choice for a fall wedding against the trees, and I enjoyed my stay. The rooms all have kitchenettes, so my suggestion would be to bring your own food if possible. You've got the stove, oven, dishwasher, and fridge at your disposal (no pun intended). Had we known we would have all this available, we would have at least brought a box of cereal and almond milk at the most possible minimum. Granted, this was our own fault for not doing adequate research before leaving, but I digress. Don't do what I did, bring food and take advantage of the kitchen! The other option is to visit the general store in town and bring the food back to your room. Whatever you choose, the end result should be the same. The rest of the room was lovely, and the Murphy bed descended right out of the wall. I did worry that the bed would fold back up with me in it, but it didn't happen, and it's a huge sign that I watch way too much TV. The best thing to do year round is to take a ride on the scenic chairlift. For $15, adults age 19-64 can take a round trip up to the top of the mountain and take in some truly amazing views. Nature is the best, seriously. When there's wind, the chairlift has a windshield that can close down to your liking. You get to feel like you're flying up the mountain in a fancy space pod. Once at the top, you can get a drink at the Bullwheel tavern and sit on the patio and continue to drool over the mountain. The ride down gives you a view of houses that remind you of the opening scenes from "The Sound of Music", and who doesn't want to say that the hills are alive and actually mean it? I'm not sure when I'll have the opportunity to return to ski country, but I enjoyed my stay at the Grand Summit on the whole. I still don't think I'll be signing up for ski lessons any time soon, but that mountain covered in snow? Sign me up for the scenic chairlift.

Mountaineer Inn - King Suite Side View

I would have given the Mountaineer 5 stars, but honestly, I don't want it to become to popular…read more This is my favorite place to stay when I go skiing. The rooms are clean and the place is constantly being updated. This year, they put in brand new flat screens in all the rooms. But if you're looking for what you get inside the room, then you're probably a bit to fussy for this place (or any ski resort in Vermont for that matter). The owners and staff are the friendless people you're ever going to meet. You get one of the best sit down breakfasts of any inn or hotel in the area (most just have a continental breakfast). And if you reserve a spot, they have dinner. Again, excellent food. Well worth it, if you can decide what you want before noon, because you need to order in the morning, so you know everything they make is going to be fresh. If this sounds good, it only gets better. The lounge areas are also some of the best in the area. Upstairs there's a fireplace and piano room with lots of music books. Mid level there's a small library and TV room. And downstairs is the big fireplace room that they hold a Wine and Cheese welcome party every Saturday. And these areas are separate from the rooms, so you can be pretty loud, all night, and you won't bother anybody. The place is like a cross between a Bed and Breakfast and hotel run by your super cool aunt and uncle. The only way you could have a bad time here is if you have an attitude. If you do, please go stay somewhere else. I don't want to run into the next time I stay there. It's not the fanciest hotel. It's not party central. It's not spa service (though they do have a 14 person outdoor hot tub). But it is the best place I've ever stayed in the area. Oh, and the MOOver shuttle bus stops right in front. And the Snow Barn is within walking distance.

This is a small motel close to Mount Snow, 3 stories. The parking lines aren't clearly drawn out…read moreunder the snow, and they don't shovel it all of the way (there's a good shovel on the central walkway but sometimes people park there), so sometimes cars are double-parked or tight. Watch the parking lot exit - snow piles up and makes it hard to see folks coming on the road so several near-misses. Check-in on your phone (they text you a form and then send you a code to your door when the room is ready). Doors use a security code to enter the rooms. Desk hours are 9-5p, so if you go down at 4:45p and ask about why your door code doesn't work - and then find out the staff is already gone for the day, that was a problem. The day we checked in, a lot of people had issues with their room (all different reservations from different groups, too), and the staff left early that day. Eventually after texting a number and the hotline for customer service goes to the closed room (no one picks up on the number and there's no central phone line staffed), they get back to you via text - I believe the staffer on duty was apparently in the shower as she came down with wet hair after about 45min of folks getting anxious about what to do, and she had folks take a key to use instead of using the door code. Rooms are small, simple, and have an exit to the long shared balcony areas; good to put food outside and let it chill since there's no room fridge. Lighting is a bit dark, but suffices. TV has no issues, cable channels. Bathroom door opened the wrong way so you can't come into the room and open the bathroom door at the same time. Was clean, though, so that was good. Breakfast on the weekend included bagels, boiled eggs, and yogurt in a small fridge to the side. They also have a coffee machine, so you could get hot water and coffee. Breakfast bars and tea by the coffee station. There was also a water cooler to the side, but the staffer didn't have any water to refill that after it was empty in the first hour we were there... so only hot water for the rest of the long weekend. Hallway had a closet for self-service on the towels and supplies. Another closet at the entry for your skis, boots, and snow board to hang and dry a bit. Shared common room for folks to eat and play games. Downstairs, a little library, fireplace, pool table (needs some repair, had to put some logs into the bottom to avoid losing balls, ripped surface), a bar with plastic cups, a piano that's out of tune, and some card and board games. Good for the kids to run around and enjoy talking loudly away from the rest of the motel, which was good. Outside a hot tub (we didn't use it). Upstairs some seating and fireplace area, too. Overall, value the place for the location, 5 min from the mountain, and it's a motel. Don't expect 24-7 service, and it is convenient to restaurants and other areas nearby. Shuttle stops by to get to the mountain, too.

My boyfriend booked this for me because I have always wanted to go to Vermont. The bar/restaurant…read morewas unfortunately closed for renovations during mud season. Being from Michigan, we were unaware of mud season (runs April - mid May and is a time when many places shut down and renovate due to the change from ski season to summer season). However, we still had an absolutely AMAZING trip and would not have changed a single thing! We debated which accommodation to book because the map online makes everything look really far apart....but it's not! Everything is within easy walking distance. We ultimately chose the Woodshed, which is a small cabin to its own. The main room is the bedroom. I have never slept in a more comfortable bed in my life! Not only was the bed comfortable, the duvet/comforter was perfect....it cooled me down when I was warm and warmed me up when I was cold!!! The room was appointed with a welcome letter, unique snacks, plenty of coffee, and plenty of wood for the indoor fireplace (which we did not need to use). The bathroom is large and is stocked with top of the line toiletries. The shower has great temperature and water pressure! There is also a large closet/room that has a small refrigerator and microwave. There are 2 beds upstairs in the loft which we did not use but seemed comfortable. Outside, we had our own patio and firepit, which we used all the time. The property manager, Steve, was always dropping off wood for us (without us having to ask), but there was also a large pile of wood right around the corner if we ran out (which we didn't, even though my boyfriend tried lol). We spent a lot of our evenings sitting outside enjoying the sights and sounds of nature and the property. We also enjoyed the river and walking the property/hiking path, but we did not partake in tennis or basketball, but those are available, along with other amenities. When we were off property, we were exploring the local surrounding towns and easy-moderate hiking trails. Vermont doesn't disappoint! What a beautiful area! The FRE (Farm Road Estate) family was incredibly accommodating and hospitable. Many times throughout our stay, while we were outside, staff checked up on us or to simply say hello. We were shown some of the renovations of the blue stone patio at the Sawmill Restaurant, and it looks absolutely phenomenal, we can't wait to come back and visit!

Enjoyed an exceptional Thanksgiving dinner there. The food was perfect and our server was…read moredelightful! Our party loved the dessert bar and enjoyed ours by the fireplace. We will be back again!
