This spot was perfect for everything that we wanted to do! The Inn is fairly small- probably around 9 or 10 rooms. The hotel was pretty empty during our stay so we were upgraded to a room overlooking the lawn which was great. I can't say enough about the property. It's nestled in the hills and is just so serene. There's a small stream nearby and if we didn't have so much to explore I could have spent hours laying on the hammock on the back lawn. The inside is equally impressive - it's got a very preppy feel and I felt like I was in a Polo ad. There are lots of cozy sitting areas, fireplaces and shelves filled with books and games. The actual guest room is spacious and the bed is comfy. It's an older hotel but you can tell there were updates. The AC works well and the shower has good pressure. Because of covid there is no daily room cleaning. There is also normally a bar and restaurant onsite but it's not open because of covid. But there is still a daily breakfast for guests included in the stay. Breakfast is sit down service every day from 8-9 and comes with eggs, fruit salad, an English muffin and a meat plus coffee and juice. Always delicious and filling! Staff is also friendly. We had the same server for breakfast every morning and she was very sweet. We also saw the innkeeper Doug around periodically and he was always super friendly and helpful. The rate is reasonable and the location is great. Your about a ten minute drive from Franconia notch / echo lake / cannon mt and around a half hour from mt Washington. You can find lots of food and breweries ten minutes north in Littleton or twenty minutes south in Lincoln. We will stay here again without hesitation and I truly think it would be a beautiful and enjoyable visit during all seasons.

This year (2009-2010 ski season), the Horse and Hound is under new management and it is again one of the best apres ski and dining establishments near Cannon Mt. Don't be misinformed by the old website which is soon to be updated. The Hunt Room menu is comprehensive American Cuisine. The daily specials are a must. The portions are good. The lounge has great atmosphere, music, a well stocked bar, friendly service, free wifi (a big plus for the area) and big screen television. The area also has some of the best Alpine and Nordic skiing around. My wife and I have been there twice in as many weeks and we expect to make it a regular venue for the ski season.

My husband and I stayed at this Victorian bed and breakfast during the summer last year…read more All we had were some photos of the rooms, which looked pretty nice and off we went. We were so pleasantly surprised upon arrival. The house is even more beautiful and peaceful inside. The owners have gone through great lengths to preserve the house's Victorian decor. In fact, the owners are downright amazing. They are the actual inn keepers and one of them is a chef. He is the one that whips up the most delicious gourmet / organic and locally sustainable breakfasts each morning. Our room was enourmous (for a B&B), it had a large bedroom, a small living room, and it's own bathroom. Not all the rooms are the same size so you do need to ask for what you want upfront. As they say, 'the love is in the details," you really get a sense that the owners want to make sure their guest's experience is memorable. Every bathroom has local lavender and pine-scented toiletries (we literally 'smelled' like nature) that smelled delicious, and these aren't travel size, they are actual size so there is plenty to use. They also include maple candies, and lot's of tourist information on all the things to do around Vermont. At night, one of the owners is a classical piano player and he delights the guests with some tunes. But it's not distracting if you want to turn in early as we couldnt hear it from our room. We loved staying here and we highly recommend it to others so they may enjoy this gem too.

It breaks my heart to write reviews like this one. Why? Because you need revenue to invest in your…read morebusiness. Bad reviews impact revenue. Yet, the whole reason to write a review is to give others a recommendation or a warning BEFORE they visit. There are things the innkeepers cannot control- the rough surroundings, the noise of traffic and barking dogs, etc. (we had it all) But, once you cross the threshold, that's on the innkeeper. The potential to make Maplecroft a little oasis in a run down area of Barre VT is there. But you can't host on potential. Here is why it doesn't hit the mark: the building is just so neglected and our room was filthy. The housekeeper needs a solid talking to. The filth in our room is not just that someone forgot to vacuum. It's stained carpets and soiled area rugs and caked on dirt and pubic hair and filth on chair rails in the bathroom area. The shower: hair on the walls and a horrible smell. On and on. The bed was comfortable but I was so preoccupied with the filth that I kept wondering when the last time was that someone had washed the blankets. They were faded and had an off smell. The towels were stained and dingy. Peeling paint, open walls with rot in the hallway, thick dust covered ceiling fan, dust covered almost everything. Ouf. All this for 200$/night. We were just so disappointed. This was an anniversary get away and we couldn't wait to get away... from the Elia Corti room at Maplecroft. We have stayed in many many MANY B&Bs over the years on remote islands to bustling tourist zones. We expect old inns to have doors that aren't plumb and funky floor plans. All part of the fun. But the caked on dirt and general filth was a big turn off. Our clothing carried that smell all the way to home. On the plus side: all of this is fixable with a basic carpet shampooer and bucket of hot soapy water and scrub brushes. Replace the towels and wash the windows. Low cost but high impact. Then get some repair work going on the crumbling walls that are cracked open and exposing rot. Your guests shouldn't be exposed to these things. Lots of neglected little things make for one BIG thing- a negative experience. We will not be returning.

This is a great place to visit . Hollister Hill Farm is a working farm in northern Vermont run by…read moreLee and Bob Light. It's an actual profitable farm that raises and sells fresh raw milk, pork, vegetables, jams, maple syrup and beefalo meat (37% Buffalo) --all produced on their farm. It's a beautiful place with beautiful views and great-local- food for breakfast. Bob & Lee are excellent sources for recommendations for meals, day trips or whatever. All the rooms have their own bathrooms and are very nicely appointed. It's a great place for kids. When we were there, they had 2 golden retrievers, -mom and puppy-, several barn kittens and plenty of chickens that lay eggs where ever they feel like-so the kids had fun hunting them down. You are also 'allowed' to help with the 6 am or 5 pm 'chores' which involve feeding the pigs (btw they don't really smell like pigs can smell... a testament to the Light's keeping their environment clean) as well as helping milk their 6 doe-eyed Jersey milk cows...plus whatever else Farmer Bob can think of for you to do. If you're there on Monday you can say goodbye to pigs that are off on a 'field trip'... to come back later, in a, shall we say, different form. Highly recommended as a learning experience or just a nice time to relax. You'll probably want to turn in early though... they do have roosters.

Jude and I saw a deer one morning from the breakfast room. The old red barn juxtaposed with a solar panel nearby is pure Vermont. While the farm is off the main highway a mile or two, it's an easy drive to local villages and less than an hour to Montpelier. All rooms are up a narrow center staircase with a full bath in the hall. They have a spa bath on the first floor that is pictured here in Photos. A large tiled accessible shower, jetted tub, tall windows which can be opened and ample towels and supplies. Of course, breakfast was a fresh two course meal with Vermont coffee in a room with a view of the patio and gardens.

It was poring rain all weekend…read moreand I soaked in the greenhouse hot tub the evening I arrived, then spent the next day curled up on a cozy couch in front of the soapstone wood stove. I enjoyed it so much that I booked the entire B & B suite for a weekend to come back with the family. The suite is three bedrooms and very affordable for a weekend get-a-way. The back wing of this old farmhouse is half cozy living room/kitchen and half modernized greenhouse. Downstairs in the updated section is a wonderful bathroom with large jacuzzi tub and walk in shower with three (yes, 3) shower heads - though the switching valve only let's you run two at a time. Plus the radiant floor tiles makes me want to just lie in the sun along with Phoenix the resident friendly cat. Upstairs are three cozy bedrooms with wonderful Vermont landscape views and lot's of books for browsing. Outside there are pastures and trails, a big old barn, sheep and a llama. When we were there in the fall the llama was just wandering around the yard as it had been fighting with the ram, so Jay just let it out to get a little breathing room. So I woke up in the morning and watched the llama on patrol around the house. Jay and Jude, like so many B & B owners (a special breed) are friendly and entertaining. They are anxious to be helpful and quick to recommend good restaurants, places to hike, and other things to do. And the breakfasts, ahh, the breakfasts... You have to stay at least two nights just so that you can get more of their good food. fresh fruit cup, maple smoked bacon, maple walnut scones, asparagus soufflé, baked apples with maple syrup, blueberry muffins, light and fluffy waffles ... I went to bed each night excited to wake up and smell whatever was cooking. None of the rooms have a private bath, but renting the whole space makes that happen. No cellular phone service (well sometimes one bar) but good wifi. Close to hiking, X country skiing, and snowmobile trails. Close to Montpelier. A couple of really nice restaurants in the area: Claire's, Positive Pie, Rainbow Sweets.
