Great place to stay for skiing at Stratton.Had a slight issue at the start of our stay but Kayla was extremely helpful and fixed it right away. Very friendly. Perfect little spot. Seemed like they baked homemade muffins and had a little breakfast bar. Would definitely be back if I am in the area.

David & Oliver were the perfect hosts! Very helpful with any questions we had. The rooms are a combo of old and new which adds to the charm. Very helpful with our dog. Beautiful location.
Very friendly staff.

I traveled here for the eclipse and for the most part very much enjoyed my stay in this very clean and pleasantly laid out hotel and especially the lovely area itself! Vermont is fantastic!
Traveling from out of state one of the things to keep in mind is that cell phone service is very spotty if non-existent here for some providers. I was able to overcome this by using the Wifi calling feature on my phone (the hotel Wifi is very fast). I cannot fault the owners or hotel staff for this... it is what it is.
My only complaint is the noise or potential thereof. The walls and floor is thin, even on the top floor. For the most part all was great but I wonder if it was due to coincidence. One jarring moment was on the night before the eclipse where it sounded like a party was taking place either below or to the side of the room. The mumbling sounds and bassy noise coming from the walls was clearly audible not just for myself but for my companion. I was on the verge of making this known but fortunately between around 11 and 12 midnight the noise died down. Given that this probably cannot be corrected by any engineering or noise dampening system, when signing into the hotel if they would just have made it a requirement from guests to hold no parties or to be respectful of other guests after a certain hour, say 11 PM, this hotel would be PERFECT. I don't know whether it was just rare bad luck or not, but that is my only recommendation and what keeps this review from being 5 star. Thanks for reading.

Great family motel that is clean and comfortable. There is a full market just down the road where you can get groceries or get a sandwich, soup, and other prepared dishes. There are gas pumps too.
The lodge at West River is convenient to other attractions, skiing, and snowmobile trails. The ride on 30 North from Brattleboro is beautiful, make sure you pay attention to speed limits, especially in Newfane!
Don't think twice - stay at The Lodge at West River.

Quaint little lodge located only 30 minutes from Mt. Snow and Magic Mountain! Staff is super welcoming, price is excellent, and they've always got free snacks out (we got some great brownies one night as well). Rooms are also very clean. Make sure to say hi to the cat in the lobby! :)
Nearby activities: Within an hour of a plethora of ski resorts.
Food & drinks: Decent complimentary breakfast and free snacks are always out and available!

Beautiful spot in a quiet town. Lovely owners. Great choices of coffee! Clean room. The bathroom sink is tiny but that's the only thing I didn't like. We have been going there for a few years now.

I stayed here on February 4-6th and I have to say that it is the cutest place ever! The rooms are super clean and room decor was very inviting. The owners are very friendly and knowledgeable about things to do around town and they even took the time out to Google places for me. It was very cold the weekend we went but our room was always warm and toasty. I loved the little breakfast in the morning even tho we ate out every morning it was still nice to be able to grab a piece of fruit or a granola bar for later. I also loved that I could get tea or hot chocolate anytime during the day. I will definitely come back in the spring to go hiking. Thank you again!!!
