Great hotel!

Wonderful stay. Clean rooms, friendly staff, good breakfast. Close to the ski resorts. We will definitely stay again!

Great stay, pleasant staff, and appreciated the breakfast offerings. We visit the area often and the maple sugaring house across the street was a new find for us and we loved the tour.

Best place to stay

Great place to stay and the owners are the best. We had 4” of new snow overnight and when I went out side in the morning to ski Stratton I discovered they had cleaned the snow off my car!

A gem of the West River Valley

The owners have made significant investment in refurbishing this motor inn. It’s an affordable gem in the West River Valley, near Newfane which is one of the most photogenic villages in all of New England. It’s clean, quiet, comfortable, and the customer service is excellent.
Lawrence C, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

This place is kept really clean. It’s an older property, but the owners keep it in very good shape. My room was comfortable and the coffee and simple breakfast in the common rooms was great. Didn’t spend much time in my room. I was mostly out hiking, swimming & exploring. But I looked forward to getting back to my room for a shower and a good night’s sleep. This is a beautiful area and the Lodge will definitely be my choice of stay when I come back.
Peter, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

Overall, the Lodge at West River is a decent, clean, secure, comfortable place to spend one night. The property-- which is actually a motel, not a lodge -- sits next to a surprisingly busy secondary road. For the price, I would have expected more ambience, softer sheets, and on-site dining. I will say the home-baked breakfast treats look amazing (alas, no carbs for me!) All that said, the staff and owners are welcoming, helpful and responsive. And that can be rare these days.

Solar eclipse 2024

We stayed to see the eclipse the next day in Peacham VT. We wanted to be away from the crowds. We had cinnamon raisin toast and oatmeal for a quick breakfast. The room was clean and and fresh smelling as a non-smoking room. The bathroom was clean , the beds were comfortable, the hotel was quite and peaceful at night. TV was great with our Netflix account. The front desk staff was very courteous and polite and helpful with info about nearby events and services. All said it was a great stay.

Exceeded expectations. Clean and well maintained property with a warm welcoming feel to it. Coffee/drinks snacks readily available and the breakfast was perfect. Great Banana bread😁.
Dananthi, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

It's an outdated roadside motel but it was a great location for a ski day @ Stratton (30 min drive). There aren't many places that have an honor system snack station. Really cute, esp after coming in for a long drive. Sweet breakfast w/ fresh bread/muffins and granola bars to grab/go. My only complaint is that the coffee pot was empty on Sunday AM. Only keurig which is a weak substitute for fresh coffee IMO, but everything else was fine. No complaints
Dianne, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

If you come for breakfast after 9 am no fraish coffee made , not much left for breakfast, staff was nice but most of food was gone
Bronislawa, 1-night trip

Perfect stay for a ski trip

Clean room, attentive staff, and lovely breakfast spread consisting of fresh baked goods, baked eggs, fruits, bread, all kinds of beverages. I've stayed here 2 years in a row now and will be happy to be back.

10/10 Exceptional

Excellent place to stay. A short and beautiful drive to Mount snow. The folks running the place really go the extra mile. I was most amazed at not only the timely clearing of the parking lots well before 7 am from 6 inches of snow, but also at then clearing the snow of all the vehicles parked there! Will certainly be back to stay here again

Great hotel

The hotel was very inviting and cozy. There’s a microwave & mini fridge in the room which came in handy for leftovers. The breakfast was a great grab and go or sit in and eat in the common area. No problem parking and getting around. It’s close to ski resorts, a market/gas station and restaurant. And the staff is super friendly and helpful.
Michele, 2-night trip

Great spot. Classic motel experience with a nice complimentary breakfast. We stayed the night before skiing Stratton. Perfect location.

Staying at the lodge felt like a warm hug! The atmosphere was incredibly cozy, with a very homey vibe. From the soft lighting to the charming touches like handwritten bakery ingredients, it was clear the hotel prioritizes guest comfort.
tatiana, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

We stayed in the lodge for three nights, very warm and comfortable. It’s home like loge, not like commercial hotels. We enjoyed the simple but delicious homemade cakes in the morning as breakfast. They have hot water for hot chocolate and tea the whole day, very convenient. It’s close to mount Snow and Stratton. We will be back in summer.
