Welcoming atmosphere, decided to try the beef stew and it was better than any restaurant, live music and friendly bartender and owner as well as clientele.

I stayed at Upper Pass Lodge with my son for 5 days while he attended the Chris Lewit Tennis Camp,…read moreand within 24 hours it felt less like a hotel and more like our home away from home. Vince, the owner, genuinely cares about every guest's experience. His pride in the lodge is evident, and I especially appreciated his honesty--he'll be the first to tell you this isn't a luxury four-star hotel. Instead, it's something even more memorable: a comfortable, safe, welcoming lodge full of character. It's like your favorite well-worn pair of slippers or a cozy blanket--relaxed, familiar, and exactly where you want to unwind after a busy day. Dennis runs the bar like Cheers--before long, everyone knows your name. The atmosphere is warm and friendly, and it's easy to strike up conversations with both locals and fellow travelers. The rooms are basic but clean, the beds are comfortable, the water pressure is fantastic, and fresh towels are provided every day (thank you Terri!). We also loved the restaurant and bar, especially the daily specials like Meatball Monday, Taco Tuesday, and Burger Wednesday. The food was consistently delicious and reasonably priced.

For the 2nd time in a couple of years I stayed at the Upper Pass Lodge as part of a ski trip…read more Located at the base of Magic Mountain in Londonderry, Vt. it is conveniently about halfway between Okemo and Mount Snow where we had planned to ski on the Epic Pass. Upper Pass is a very nice ski lodge with a nice Vermont feel. The room was spacious and clean and in addition to the main bedroom there was a smaller bedroom with bunk beds and a sink. The decor was nice without being overbearing. Plenty of room, good TV, a desk and couple of comfortable beds. The bathroom was fine with a good shower. There was a small coffee maker in the room and they also stocked the room with some breakfast bars. The rooms do not have a refrigerator or microwave. In the lobby of the lodge is the Red Slate restaurant and bar which are not open on Monday or Tuesday. There is also a nice living room with a fireplace, couches and lots of games. Upper Pass Lodge is an excellent option if you are looking to stay in the Londonderry area. The lodge is welcoming and friendly, it has a great feel as an independent hotel, plus on the times I have stayed it has offered outstanding value for lodging on a Vermont ski trip. Okemo is about 1/2 hour away and Mount Snow is a bit further. The Upper Pass Lodge does hospitality right.

However, the wine and cheese was so good we ended up in the store and purchased another 70 bucks worth of stuff. This place is small and elegant. Bring this place your business!

This area of Vermont doesn't have much lodging choice except B&Bs and ski resort condos so for value, this one is worth it. Very convenient- on Rte 30 on the way to Stratton Mountain, Bromley Mountain, Magic Mountain, Manchester outlets, etc. My room and adjoining bathroom were small and quaint but clean and very comfortable. Breakfast is in their restaurant area- delicious food. We didn't try their dinner but it smelled great- apparently, they are a gourmet, multi-star restaurant. They also had afternoon wine & cheese. Owners and staff are really nice and go out of their way to make you feel welcome (it's a little jarring when you travel from city life- at first, you wonder why people are so nice!). An example was breakfast our first morning- we planned to leave for Stratton early without a sitdown breakfast and told the owners ahead of time not to expect us. In the morning, Ed had warm blueberry muffins that he ran out to us as we were packing our car...they were the best muffins I've ever tasted! Note to those who can't do without some modern conveniences- most rooms and their common rooms don't have televisions (yes, it's an old rustic inn in Vermont but if you're stuck inside without a book, it's nice to have the choice to use modern technology). The inn does have a couple of portable DVD players they will lend you if available. There's also spotty cell phone service in this area b/c of the mountains. Great for quiet getaways, ski trips (with the focus on skiing and relaxing), basically, for enjoying Vermont. I'll post an update after my March stay.

In this family owned bed and breakfast inn, everyone was warm, friendly, and kind. The place was very clean. There are some original parts that date to its origin as a pub and inn from the late 1700s. Some quirks in the facility are due to various retrofittings and building updates. We really enjoyed staying here. But if you are looking for more modern or luxurious accommodations, this may not be for you.

A great jumping off spot for driving around the local area. And the Inn itself was fantastic too, starting with Jeff who was very helpful and welcoming. Robin took our reservation over the phone and she also was very friendly. The breakfasts were very good and it was great to hang out behind the Inn where there is a large pond. We did do a trip up to Woodstock and truthfully we were very happy that we were staying at the Whetstone Inn rather than someplace in Woodstock. Way more relaxing I think. It was our first visit to New England and it might be a while before we get back but when we do, we'll be staying at the Whetstone Inn. Go, you'll love it.

Every single detail of the property has been so thoughtfully considered, it's truly incredible. The attention to detail in every square foot left me in awe!!! Lisa is the kind of host you can only dream about. She pours her whole heart into making sure every guest feels cared for, and you can truly tell. It felt less like staying at a rental and more like being welcomed into the home of an old friend. It's rare to find a place where you feel so completely at home, only better!! From the warm welcome to the smallest touches, everything made us feel completely spoiled in the best way!! It's rare to find that balance, but somehow it's all here. The property is beautiful, every little detail inside has been so thoughtfully chosen, and the price point is beyond fair for the experience you get! I would give more starts if I wasn't limited to only 5! I honestly can't wait to come back!! (And I haven't even left yet, I extended my stay here two more days) I'd make a trip just to stay here again, and I'd recommend it to absolutely anyone looking for something truly one-of-a-kind!
