Spectacular ice skating on a 4 mile loop around a beautiful Vermont lake, a truly unique…read moreexperience, comfortable and friendly accommodations. The skate trail is as wide as a two lane road. Tons of space for every level of skater. There is a rentals shop with hockey skates, figure skates, trail skates, and "support" accessories for those just learning or not super stable on skates. The trail is cleared daily, but when there is a snow storm it takes longer. The ice conditions are totally weather dependent. We've been here 3 times, one time the ice was smooth and very easy to skates on, one time we couldn't skate at all because the weather earlier in the week created slush, which then froze, and was so bumpy skating wasn't possible, and then it rained and the skate trial had 3 inches of water on it. This year, the trail opened earlier than ever (Jan 9) and this week (Feb school break) the weather was perfect for skating! Mostly smooth ice, some bumps in some spots, but easy to avoid, and it is a lake, so to be expected. The hotel is perfect for families with kids of any age. There were many multi-generations groups here together. They do lots of kid oriented things in addition to the skating (a movie theater, DJ and dance floor, ping pong, heated indoor swimming pool, billiards, a variety of games and puzzles. Free-range kids everywhere. The restaurant serves the basics. We were pleasantly surprised by the quality of the food. We ate here for one dinner, and tried the Beet salad, the pork dumplings, the soft pretzels, and the Ruben sandwich...and all were good. This place is not luxury. It has a classic historical hotel feeling about it, with lots of old photos on the walls to prove it. This place is a good value in the winter. Everything you need, friendly staff, beautiful views of the lake restaurant and bar on site for breakfast, lunch and dinner so if you don't want to leave once you get here, there is no need to. I love this place!

The new owners Mike and Jessica have been extremely accommodating and helpful. My wife left for her night shift and realized she was low on gas. On the way out, Mike was outside the office. She asked where the closest gas station was. Well, Mike put a few gallons of diesel in her truck to ease her mind. How many people would do that? The entire experience has been great. The place is clean, quiet and peaceful. There is a regular gathering of families to visit, let the kids play and everyone get to know each other. We will be here for 3+ months and have loved the first month thus far. Within 15-20 minutes from Dartmouth Hospital, Walmart, Kohl's, Home Depot, etc. This place is A MUST whether travel nursing, seasonal or just passing through.

The camp is strictly no-electronics. Because of that, you get to have an amazing summer. There are many activities for people who aren't that athletically inclined, or artistically inclined.

This park offers so much from a nice campground (and horse campground) to magical forest hikes and the cherry on the top amazing views down to the valley and "pond" from the top of the owl trail. We visited the area with small kids (3-4 years old, that love hikes) and they walked the trails and said, and I quote, "It was fun". This is Vermont a wonderful state, colored in vivid green during the summer and the entrance to the parks cost only 4$. If you are a nature loving people looking for a long or short hike, come here.

The ladies at the admission booth were friendly, welcoming, and helpful in directing us where to go. Be prepared for the walk of a lifetime! There are some steep hills and plenty of uphill and downhill sections, but the breathtaking views make every step worth it. The scenery is simply spectacular. A few tips for visitors: wear comfortable hiking or walking shoes, bring plenty of water, strollers are not recommended, a rain jacket isn't really necessary; you'll only encounter a little mist when passing by the large cascade, if you're traveling with toddlers, a good hiking backpack carrier is highly recommended, bring a handheld or neck fan because you'll definitely work up a sweat, don't forget sunscreen and bug spray. Take your time, enjoy the incredible natural beauty, and soak in the experience. This is a place I would absolutely recommend to anyone visiting the area!

The pool was closed and for the inconvenience, they gave out free ice and wood. No strict rules or micro management. Speed limit is 10mph. Free showers. Clean bathrooms. Trash and rycleable bins near each section. Big downside was the infestation of bees/yellowjackets. They were everywhere it was awful. I felt we should of been notified on check in. Luckily, I do not have an allergy to them but if I did, I would of left because they were that bad. They have 2 beach areas, children's play set, tennis courts, disc golf. Overall, very relaxing.

Easy access hype…read more This Gorge is easily accessible from the road and worth stopping for a few minutes. It is not a destination worthy but provides a scenic rest stop on your way to elsewhere. Many road trippers and tourist traps are here. There are about 20-30 parking spots near the East side of the bridge. There is an info board and a trailhead at the parking lot. The trail meanders below the road bridge to the Quechee Gorge. This summer (9/25) has been quite dry, so not big cascades but better views into the Gorge can be had. There's a big construction going ON the bridge so there was some traffic (yup). The construction probably will be completed before the winter. PSA - The best vista to this Gorge is actually from the bridge which is a very short walk from the parking lot.

Just spent 3 days/2 nights here over fathers day weekend, and it a worthwhile stay. Typically we…read morestay in a tent site, but this time we rented a cabin. The cabin was a decent sized spot with bunk beds for the kids, a microwave, coffee pot, sink, mini fridge, and full bathroom. It had heat and AC so it was really easy to adjust to whatever was most comfortable. Outside of the cabin was a stone patio with stone fire pit. Around the pit was 4 quality made Adirondack chairs. Next to that was a picnic table and a propane grill, which had propane provided to us. All we had to bring was our food, and pick up firewood. The KOA offered linen service for 10 dollars. The staff delivered sheets and blankets, and even offered to make the beds for us, which was a nice gesture. I think it's worthwhile if you're trying to cut down on the amount of stuff you're packing for a trip. They also sell firewood, which they will deliver to you as well. 3 bundles for $20.00. We bought some and the first bundle we tried seemed a little green. I mentioned it to the staff at the desk and they provided us with additional wood that was much more seasoned. On top of the wood they dropped off some extra kindling, and a fire starter. Also, they do a 10am curbside trash pickup at the sites, which is really convenient. Overall, I'd say this site excels in customer service, cleanliness, and location. They are a very welcoming group. The only downside, which isn't a HUGE downside, is that the sites can be a little cramped. So if you stay up late, and make a little bit of noise you may have some unhappy neighbors. In regards to the location, it's right off the highway, but you don't hear the highway. Gas station is less than a 1/4 mile away, and sells beer and wine. In the other direction Quechee Village, Gorge, and Woodstock are all within a reasonable drive.

We reserved our spot way in advance, as we always do because we prefer sites that are on the end…read morebecause they generally offer a little more room and privacy. We used their website to reserve site 14, which showed it was on the end. We arrived after a long day of driving our Class A and towing a trailer. After checking in, a very grumpy man 'escorted' us to our spot. He showed us the wrong spot and we said we need to speak to someone. We had to go back to the front and my husband spoke to a very snotty young lady and tried to sort it out. He showed her on his phone the spot on their reservation site that we reserved and she agreed, but needed to call the owner. At this point I came to the office to try to reason with them. After awhile, an extremely rude man came in with a terrible attitude. He was constantly on his phone; either pretending to be busy or recording me. Who knows. When we tried to rationally talk to him and show him the site we reserved on their website, he laughed and said, "I don't have to do anything. I'm the owner and I can do whatever I want." He refused to even look at our phone to show him that their reservation website is wrong. We paid an extra $25 to lock this site. He said both sites were patio sites, but one is on the end with more separation and some trees blocking the site next to it, while the other has another site right on top of them. The sites here are the closest I have seen in four months of traveling full time. And just to add, the road noise is pretty bad, and what is the deal with the resort fee? So overpriced for what you are getting. Never was there an apology. Their solution was for us to move on the day the others arrived. No other option. We spent almost $1,000 there for eight nights. he obviously did not care about our business. What a way to run a place. We only stayed one night because it was late and there was nowhere else to go. We left the next day and they charged us for two nights and refunded the rest. This place was a terrible experience that literally left me in tears in how we were treated. Highly recommend skipping this overpriced joke of a place.
