Made online reservations and paid deposit several weeks in advance for a 3 night stay. The innkeeper informed us we would be the only guests during our stay. Upon checking in, we found there was no way to lock our door (inn keeper said, "it's Vermont, we don't lock our doors.") The smoke/fire detector in our room was beeping every 15-20 seconds. The top bed linens and pillows were dingy and dirty. A bath robe that hung from the door looked as if it hadn't been cleaned for a long, long time. My wife and I spent no more than 5-10 minutes in the room following our "discoveries." We did not feel safe or secure at this inn, and so, we immediately booked accommodations at a nearby hotel for a 3 night stay. The hotel reservations were considerably more expensive, but, my wife and I felt neither safe nor secure at McIndoe Falls Inn. And, on the backside of a multi-year pandemic, we had concerns with the lack of cleanliness. The inn is in dire need of a refresh. Finally, and inexplicably, they also charged our card for the remaining balance of the entire, 3 night stay. I sent them an email at 4:44pm, just a few minutes after we left to inform them we would not return. I don't have a problem with the initial deposit for the first night. I greatly resent being charged full rate for a 3 night stay, while we were only there for 10 minutes. Based upon innkeepers previous comment, we were their only guests, so it's not like others were beating down the doors to get in. I will be disputing the balance charges with my credit card company. In case I haven't been clear enough, I do not recommend McIndoe Falls Inn, at all. The pictures and descriptions on their website is a gross misrepresentation. read more
