I have having major Good Commons withdrawal. I arrived Thur. evening for a weekend yoga retreat…read more The vibe was casual Vermont chill. The setting was inviting and serene. Food service commence and the flavors, plating and offerings were tantalizing, creative and sumptuous. The public areas are conducive for meetings and gatherings. The sleeping areas are close quarters in some rooms and spacious in others. Bedding is incredibly comfy, assuring a good night's rest. There are plenty of bathrooms and are fully stocked with Flourish Apothecaries. Jenny, the house lab is in the house (if you have allergies, she can stay home) providing love and hugs. The hot tub outside is a wonderful spot to relax and recharge. Tesha and Marissa treated us like family. They went the extra mile, insuring the weekend flowed. The yoga room was inviting and serene. I seriously miss GC and will be back.

I concur with the other reviewers. I just came back from a 3-night stay at Good Commons, there for…read morea gluten free culinary retreat weekend. The Inn is a beautiful 4700 SQ foot, tastefully-appointed venue with comfy sofas, fireplace, ultra modern spacious kitchen and numerous bedrooms and bathrooms. The water throughout the house is purified, so both drinking water and shower water are chlorine-free. There's a hot tub (didn't know or would have brought a bathing suit), yoga/dance studio and lots of space to relax. You can rent rooms (I was in the shared loft which is a large room with 12 cozy beds and two bathrooms-I only had one roommate, so it was even more spacious). Next to our room was the living room loft, a cozy bedroom/living room area with its own TV. The dining room can seat 20 easily. The house has free wifi and free long distance and voicemail, which comes in handy as the area doesn't get cell reception-but you're on vacation, so it's nice to disconnect if you want to. The owner Tesha is a delight and she makes sure your stay is the very best. She owns a van that can get you around if you hire her to do so. Only 10 minutes from Killington and Okemo resorts, this is a great place to rest your bones after a day on the slopes. The quaint town of Woodstock is within 45 minutes as are Middlebury College and other unique VT areas of interest such as cheese factories, cider mills, etc. Note: this is not a B&B. If you are renting with friends/family, you can cook your meals or eat at one of the local area restaurants within a 10-minute drive. If you have the money to spend, I highly encourage you to hire Alejandra Ramos (http://www.alwaysorderdessert.com), a personal chef and food blogger/journalist from NYC who will come and spoil you with an eclectic fare of Latin, European, Asian flavors for all tastes and food sensitivities. She was our chef this past weekend and the meals were all gluten free, with some special egg and dairy free delights for some of the other visitors in the group. I'll be back for the skiing, the establishment, and the wonderful people.

Called in advance to ask if the pool and hot tub are open on MLK JR day - drove up the mountain…read moreonly to be told that they "don't do locals discounts on holiday weeks" and the price would be over double. $70 for two people to go swimming for two hours. Not a chance! Don't go here unless you're a rich gullible flatlander.... LOL

I wasn't going to leave a bad review until today. Many weeks ago I went in for my second massage…read morewith somebody in there, it wasn't Taylor. The second Massage did put me in the hospital. It was from the massage (stretching R leg) and more. She claimed to be a specialist with people that have hip injuries , as I am waiting for a hip replacement. I was in terrible pain, and I was tearing off and on throughout it, I was telling her I had pain, and she kept saying it will feel better after don't worry. Repeatedly trying to tell me that I was breathing wrong, and to breathe like childbirth, breathe out. I explained all my injuries, and then she lied to me in my face today, first time I've been back. Totally unprofessional, never had this experience at any ski resort in my life. I go to France, Switzerland, and I'm from Colorado. This is why I will never live in Killington or near it ever again. Bad service, the first time I was ever called a liar to my face. I am Catholic, and I always treat people with love, but here it was far different than that. I'll be letting all my friends know, they come in from Colorado, and they are Olympians, even all the way from Wyoming and CDA Idaho. The reason I moved here is there is a pro snowboarder that lives in Shelburne and that is the reason I moved to the State. I thought this would be a wonderful place. The manager never called me back after my injury by the employee, and she was conveniently unavailable again today.

This was my first Retreat at Spirt Fire. I was the presenter and had the orpputinity to see more…read moreinto the dealings of how the center is run. Tim and Steve made our stay unbelievably comfortable. The Retreat center has a warm, clean, well kept, welcoming feeling from the moment you step out of your car. We were welcomed with open arms. The feeling entering the retreat center was lovely and so were the rooms, and other accommodations. The food prepared by these two chefs was out of this world. It nurtured everyone to the core. The energy on this solid quartz mountain is pretty special. The hikes are great, even though during our stay it was icy and slippery, so we didnt venture out too much. I highly recommend this retreat center. It's all done with TLC and you can feel it! I can wait to come back!

I recently conducted my first retreat at Spirit Fire and if I could give them a million stars, I…read morewould...they earned every single one of them. Coming from California to Massachusetts without doing a site visit prior was a bit daunting however, Tim's amazing customer service and attention to detail during my planning process quickly set my mind at ease. The center itself was GORGEOUS -- inside and out. I instantly felt welcomed -- amazing energy and a peaceful, magical, healing property/ atmosphere. The food and service exceeded my expectations in every way. Every attendee commented on how "at home" they felt at Spirit Fire. While this may have been my first retreat there, it won't be my last.
