Outstanding inn in Stowe, VT. So very glad we stayed here. Our room was very spacious and…read morecomfortable. The bed was ultra comfortable; pillows were awesome. The staff was warm and friendly. I only have one criticism. While the A/C was working, we had difficulty regulating it to feel comfortable. It was rather cold and clammy at night, but by morning, we felt fine. It wasn't so much the cold part that bothered me, but the clammy part was what got to me. Everyone kept saying how unseasonably hot and humid it was for Stowe, so who knows... maybe the A/C just had difficulty regulating itself... or we didn't know how to use it properly. It wasn't bad, per se, but it was a little uncomfortable some of the time. The room overall, though, was really great. Also, we loved that they had Netflix and Amazon Prime, so we could settle into the shows we were missing while traveling. That was a nice surprise ! Most hotels don't offer any of that. We had planned to dine out at one of the local restaurants, but we found out they were serving dinner at Grant's, the inn's restaurant. We were tired after traveling around all day, so we stayed at the inn and ate a great meal at Grant's. (See separate review for that.) Also, the common areas in the main building next to the restaurant are very tastefully appointed, spacious, with lots of games, books and sitting areas for people to utilize. We walked around them to see what there was but returned to our room to relax and watch some of our shows. My only regret was that we couldn't stay longer. One night in Stowe just isn't enough, especially at the Stowe Village Inn. Let's hope there will be a next time !

The price / night was reasonable, the breakfast included was very standard (coffee, tea, some breakfast pastries / bagels) but did its job to keep us energized for the days of exploring Stowe or hitting the slopes (!)

Perfectly located on Main Street and walking distance to many restaurants. We stayed in the Parlor…read moresuite for 3 nights. The suite is located on the first floor right next to the main entrance door. Pros: large room with propane fireplace. Kitchenette w hot plate, pans, plates, glasses and small refrigerator. Bed is very comfy. Small table w chairs for dining. Two comfy swivel chairs to relax. Very clean. 20%discount at the Butlers Pantry. Parking in back of house. Locker for skis. Cons: very loud room as they allow the patrons for the restaurant to use the main entrance so people line up outside your door early and talk very loud. They have two other restaurant entrances and the owners really should make the patrons use that entrance vs the main entrance. So plan on it being loud from 0730 AM to after 1200pm. Yelp has a 20% discount if you check in on the app for 2 nights or more. The coupon is outdated and the owners never responded to my inquiry. The coupon should be taken down as I didn't see how it could be redeemed anyway since you must pay in full 14 days prior to your stay and the hotel is self check in. Overall, a lovely stay minus the noisy room.

This was our 3rd time here in the past few years. They…read morehave truly upped their game with a new chef and menu. Four of us had dinner at the Inn and had an amazing experience. The service was friendly, attentive, and prompt from the moment we sat down. We started with some incredible cocktails and shared the smoked maple flash-fried Brussels sprouts, which were outstanding. Between the four of us, we had the Filet Mignon, Iberico pork tenderloin, day boat scallops, and the lemongrass-infused striped bass. Every single dish was cooked perfectly and packed with flavor. It's rare that everyone at the table loves what they ordered, but that was definitely the case. Chef Dylan Taylor's new menu is fantastic, and it really shows. Everything felt fresh, creative, and thoughtfully prepared without being overdone. The dining room is elegant but still feels warm and comfortable. And a special shoutout to owner George, who was incredibly warm and welcoming. You can tell he genuinely cares about making sure everyone has a great experience. From the food and cocktails to the service and atmosphere, everything was spot on. We can't wait to come back and would highly recommend the Pitcher Inn if you're in the Mad River Valley.

TLDR: perhaps the best meal I've had in Vermont, and a great choice for anyone in the area…read more The dining room at The Pitcher Inn has a 3-course or 4-course pre fixe menus available for dinner, and you can chose any combination in the menu (except the entrees more than once). 3-courses was filling for me. Dinner started with an anchovy amuse-bouche that had a nice savory taste. They even offered a free glass of champagne for my birthday. The grilled octopus was nice and light, and the cauliflower was okay with the dish. It was a smaller potion, but left room for the remaining courses. The tagliatelle was cooked well and the tomatoes and mushrooms added nicely to the dish. This was a nice sized portion, and definitely filling. The chocolate raspberry tart was more on the chocolatey side. Maybe my least favorite course from those I had, but nonetheless still good. The check came with petit four which was a nice touch. My waiter, Sergiu, was delightful and made me feel welcome the entire time. I really enjoyed my dinner here and would look to return.

Five of us recently stayed at the Slide Brook Lodge and had a great time. We rented the 5 bed…read moreprivate apt upstairs (the efficiency) for about $200 with tax. At $40/person/night, this was an unbeatable deal. The private apt can house five or even six (if two people share a full bed). The apartment was perfect for us. The beds were really comfortable, and the kitchen was great for breakfast in the morning before hitting the slopes, and the washer/dryer helped to dry wet gloves. There was a large flatscreen tv and comfortable living room (shared with the other hotel guests, but we never saw anyone using it) and also a really great outdoor hottub that we used everyday. Sugarbush is a mile away (and there's a bus stop across the street from the lodge). On the ground floor of the lodge is crowded tavern with great live music, and a foosball table. Sometimes the music would be audible from the room, but it was never a huge problem. Alex took good care of us and made great suggestions on things to do/eat in the area. He was also nice enough to let us checkout in the late afternoon (which meant we could shower before our long drive home on our last day of skiing). Besides our private apt upstairs, the other rooms of the lodge are small and bare and hostel-like. Check the website for pictures of those. You wouldn't call this place luxurious per se, but for a group of young people it's perfect -- really comfortable and affordable and got the job done. Highly recommended.

I just love this ridiculous place…read more My family has a vacation home in the valley, and whenever possible on Saturdays we try to take the drunk bus (free shuttle service on saturday nights) over to Slidebrook or Tevere. Things to know about Slidebrook: 1) Crowd is mixed at the bar, but often includes rowdy young 20-somethings staying at the hotel. Shenanigans often ensue, but there are always folks of all ages here. 2) The space itself is pretty freaking small, but I love this about it. Super intimate, great skibar layout. They cram the band in the corner and make it work. Awesome acoustics is a bonus. 3) The bartenders (little Jenny and big Jenny) are the shit. They are the PERFECT bartenders - a mix of super fun and inappropriate with a hint of "will smack a brotha down if he gets out of hand". Really great and hilarious people. 4) The bands are always sick. Dancing ensues. 5) There is a hottub upstairs that you can just go use. It is infamous and often full of drunk kids from New Jersey. But hey, you only live once. Highly recommend this place, just ignore whatever the 21 year olds are doing and go with a group of friends. We always end up staying way later than intended.

Spent less than 24 hours here. It seems like it has been slow because I was surprised I was…read moreinitially the only one there for the night. Coming from 2 hostels on this side of the US with more influx of guests, I was confused by why there were no signs on how to enter for check-in or a reminder of lobby hours. There was nothing in front saying guests should go to the back to enter but yet there are steps leading to a front door that I later found out is always locked. No instructions on how to locate the lobby in the email either. I stayed in a 8-bed dorm room above the restaurant and check-in office. The room faces the road so you'll hear road noise since the one window is left open for the portable air conditioner. There was another dorm room right behind. Light sleepers will need an earplug. The bathroom was very clean, colorful, and had modern, cute features. Other things to note: - Not sure there is a shuttle (common with other hostels in the region) - Not sure there are lockers - There are bedside lights by every bed and power outlets are on the bottom bunks only. - The dorm room had a ceiling fan and portable air conditioner - There was Body wash in the shower but no shampoo or conditioner. - There are 2 or 3 toilets and 1 shower upstairs in that building. - The kitchen fridge is cute but small in size for the number of beds. - There are 2 living/sitting rooms - There are some board games available - There is a restaurant on-site. - A brew of coffee is made every morning. - There was no stove to cook

I was hesitant to stay here because I really wanted to be closer to Stowe. Ultimately, it turned…read moreout to be better than I had expected despite being 30 min from Stowe. If you're seeking a 5 star this is not it, however for a night or two it's perfect due to the location. Fab location and I mean fab! Conveniently located across a movie theatre and walking distance to Main ave filled with eateries and stores!! Bed was a bit lumpy therefore I couldn't sleep well. Rooms were designed with paper thin walls and doors. I mean you could hear people in hallways, next door, you could hear their TVs in the next room etc. Parking has a $12 a night fee-I guess could have been worse but still was a bit shocking. Lobby modern and staff friendly. Overall I'd stay again for the location and pricing. Would have liked to try the breakfast but didn't get a chance to.

The hotel lobby is nice and I guess that's where they put all their money. The room was outdated…read more Wallpaper peeling, windows that didn't shut all the way letting in bugs, bathroom outdated and a toilet that sounded like a jet taking off when you flushed it followed by 30 seconds of high pitch hissing. My room looked nothing like the photos they posted here for marketing. The duvet wasn't even in a cover, just between two flat bed sheets. Also, AC unit just stopped working half way through the night. I wouldn't stay here again. The city itself is not nice either. Not much to do and run down. Too bad for the capital of VT. Waterbury near by was much nicer and will look there next time.

It is conveniently located close to Burlington with out the price of the Burlington hotels. It has a lovely patio deck comfortably furnished.

No conditioner or lotion and for two people you are given two small towels.

I didn't put at 5 stars as I couldn't get the wifi, but didn't pursue it since my phone LTE service was fine. Also, the TV was a bit hard to see given its size and my distance from it. I was impressed with how the owner handled a situation with a guest who snuck a dog into his room. When I arrived the dog was making quite a bit of noise and my room was next door. She promptly moved me to a room farther away and took the dog into her kitchen so she could track down the owner who was out on the town. Breakfast was terrific, and I enjoyed the company of a nice couple. Definitely give this B&B a try.

The bedrooms are dorm style. Some with twin beds and some with two sets of bunk beds. All rooms have their own full bathroom. There is an industrial size kitchen and decent sized dining room on the main floor. Also a large living room with a big screen TV. Down in the basement there is a pool table, darts and a bar for entertaining large amounts of people. The rooms got a little cold at night but other than that our stay at the Inn was excellent. They also have free WIFI internet and phone service is very very spotty at the Inn. An excellent place for large groups.
