Northern Lights Lodge

This is the opposite of a chain hotel. There is no big-screen TV in the room. The buildings were obviously hand-built and extended from time to time. The rooms are roomy and clean, decorated in Vermont antique style. Very homey. I wasn't impressed with the weekday breakfast offerings: bacon and eggs, instant oatmeal, raisin bran. I elected to eat stuff I brought. Even on a Friday at 8 AM, the WiFi was glitchy, even just for audio streaming. My main complaint is about their unpaved driveway and parking areas. As Planning Commission Chair of my local borough, I am a big fan of permeable road surfaces. However, the gravel surfaces were uneven with big deep puddles filled with water and mud. I talked with one of the husband and wife owners, who explained to me that the only time the driveway is like this is in spring mud season which is almost always in April when they are closed. The warm early spring took the driveway by surprise.

The rooms are dated and old but clean and serviceable. Where it shines is the location, a free, pretty decent breakfast and if you have younger kids, the indoor pool, sauna and hot tub. They have coin laundry, a small game room and that's about it. Just a few miles from Stowe, so the location is great. The staff are super friendly.

Mike and Shannon were the absolute best hosts. 100% recommend to any family looking to stay around Stowe.

Lovely spot to stay that is close to the slopes! The rooms are cozy and comfortable. It is easy to enter and exit the lodge with all your ski gear. There is also a sauna, hot tub, and pool that were such a relief after a long ski day. Breakfast is complimentary and there is a decent selection of options. We also appreciated that there was a large dining room with a fireplace, coffee/hot water and microwave 24 hrs a day. This meant that we could eat here anytime in the evening as well and it was a nice place to work when needed. Another small and underrated amenity is the water fountain next to the ice machine. The bus stop for green mountain transit is directly in front of the lodge, which made getting to the ski resort very easy. Overall we had an awesome experience and definitely recommend!

We had an exceptional stay! Fear not, as this hotel offers impeccable service, very clean rooms, and an outstanding pool paired with a delightful hot tub. I Highly recommend this for a thoroughly relaxing experience for an old school inn.
