When I first stepped through the doors, I felt like I had stepped into someone else's house. I stayed in the 1king/1twin room with my sister and a friend and we all had a great stay. It's not a 4-5star place but the food at the restaurant was tasty and filling and the people were real laid back and down to earth.

There seemed to be a lot of things going on the weekends. Some quick tidbits to take note before you decide to stay here is that this place was built 1790s so the walls are not that thick. I imagine during the peak seasons, it can get kinda noisy. But during midweek or slow times, it's probably not noisy.

They also don't have a hair dryer but they had fresh towels and soap bars and private bath with each room. The room that we stayed in was warm and comfy. This is a great place to go just to relax. City folks, try to leave your gadgets at home because there aren't many outlets. There also isn't a television in every room but if you must need one to watch a dvd, then request one at the front desk because it's on a first-come, first-serve basis. I was very surprised to learn that they did have wireless internet for their customers which was a definite plus because I was able to look up more things to do around the area.

We spent two nights here and everyone had a good night's rest (no tossing or turning). If you're planning to ski/board at Smuggler's Notch Resort then it's a quick 5-10min drive down the road.

I would definitely recommend this place to others who are looking for a nice relaxing place to stay.
