Bluebird Cady Hill Lodge

I traveled to Bluebird Cady Hill for a work retreat. What a sensational property! Clean, cute, and toasty during a winter storm. My flight was cancelled and they took excellent care of me and my colleagues for an unexpected, additional evening. If you're looking to relax, and enjoy the beauty of Stowe, Bluebird Cady Hill is your best bet! Rooms: Well appointed and surprisingly comfortable!

Super cute motel. Very clean and while some of it is a little dated I love that they mixed modern with old. The beds were very comfortable, linens clean and good quality, and lots of nice little touches to make it special and unique.

Stayed here for two nights and had a great time! It was my first time in Stowe and we had a lot of fun! The rooms were clean and beds were comfortable. The staff were so friendly, helpful and welcoming! There was a cute little room in the main building with a couch and bunch of tables. They had a happy hour while we were there with a complimentary glass of beer/wine which was an added bonus! Would definitely return on my next trip to Stowe!

This is the old Golden Eagle Resort, which has been remodeled and is under new management. First, let me say the rooms are super cute and cozy. I put this place in the category of millennial motor lodge. Its been upgraded and its got a new look, but its still, at its core, a motel. We stayed in lower alpine for four nights, and the room was perfect for our needs. We could park the car right outside the room, making our morning drive to the mountain very convenient. The bed was comfortable and the shower was hot. We appreciated outlets next to the bed, a TV, a small fridge, and two bath robes. Management was also lovely and really responsive. They brought us champagne to our room that my sister had called in for us. They answered any questions we had. In the lodge area (which we usually drove to), we could order snacks or drinks. A few comments on what, I guess, is a work in progress: my hope is that management intends to upgrade the pool, locker rooms, and sauna, but those spaces do not feel like they have been significantly altered in what has mostly been a surface renovation. The pool, sauna, and jacuzzi could use a little more attention, and the lockers in the locker rooms are off limits. I think they need to upgrade these facilities and finish the construction in the pool area before I can give this place my full blessing. I did not go into the pool or jacuzzi as they just looked a little off putting. Tile could use a proper scrub with a power washer in a few spots, and it wouldnt be a bad idea to put an in ground jacuzzi outside, where the walled off construction currently is. In addition, a few comments on the room buildings and rooms themselves: they should paint instead of patch the paint on the exteriors of the buildings that havent yet been repainted. The color isnt the same and its a bit obvious. I did also think it was weird that they chose to paint the towel heaters in the bathrooms? You dont paint hardware and it came off as speed renovation. Other recommendations would be to add some silverware and two extra cups to each room. I might also give rooms a humidifier and an under the door draft blocker since some of these doors dont quite stop the drafts. Pricing was close to Von Trapp lodge for the weekend we stayed here. Prices in Stowe have gone up in the last ten years, but I am not sure these guys should be pricing quite so closely to Von Trapp until they finish work on the spa and facilities building. The closeness in price significantly drops my impression of value. I suppose it kind of makes up for it on location if you intend to take the public bus to the mountain, since it is on the route. If priced closer to $250-280, this place would make a lot more sense to me. Again, Im picky, I notice details, and I generally dont stay in motels, so take my thoughts with that in mind. I really liked our room and the service here, but management should consider the additional feedback.
