Colonial House Inn & Motel

"I 'really' wanted to like this motel, especially since I was able to book a single night (Saturday) when there was normally a 2 night minimum (Sept 23), at a rate of $95 including breakfast, but there was just too many things wrong with room #4 that made me feel a bit creeped out. Now, I've stayed in my fair share of older motels in Vermont, and I'm somewhat accustomed to mid-century modern decor (heck, I'm mid-century modern myself), but there's definitely a maintenance issue with these pre 1960s rooms. Just look at the photos... Ceiling tiles loose and falling, walls with visible cracks, furniture that had a stale unused odor, exposed bath pipes, tiny shower stall with water that alternately froze and scalded, drapes that were a foot too long, a night stand that was actually a metal mesh outdoor table covered with cloth, and a oscillating fan held together with bread ties. On the positive side, breakfast and the couple that served it was both very good. Not recommended and won't be back. Just sorry, because I can see the potential here..."

"Don't be thrown off by the idea that this is a "motel" -- this is a lovely Vermont Inn. The rooms are beautifully appointed, squeaky clean and very comfortable. The breakfast is particularly impressive -- rather than a fixed plate, they have a lot of choices. The Innkeepers are wonderful -- very service oriented. They are long time Vermont residents and know everyone and everything about it the area. In general, they make you feel as though you have some wonderful friends who live in a Vermont farmhouse, where you will be the welcome guest. The only drawback is the location so you can't really walk anywhere."

"Comfortable and welcoming, and the "morning glory" muffin is truly spectacular. Also a very sweet dog and amazing ragdoll cat. The hosts will make you feel right at home."

"We stayed at this inn during our Inn to Inn hiking trip. The inn is very welcoming and homey. Almost like visiting grandma. So easy to relax in the comfy couches and visit with other fellow hikers. Food was great. We were offered several choices for both breakfast and dinner. We liked that all the hikers sat together at one table. Many of the inn staff have been working there for many years and were happy and helpful at all times. Each of the 4 inns of our hiking trip are totally different which enhanced the experience."

"Exactly the sweet little Inn experience I wanted! Jeff and Kim were wonderful hosts. We were given a delicious breakfast in a quaint dining room with a great view of their garden. Highly recommend adding a bit of their maple syrup in your coffee (a neat little trick one of the other guests showed us). The lounge is beautiful and often is occupied by their wonderful pets. The Inn is very close to many great places to check out - like Lasser Ceramics, the Weston Village Market, and the Weston Gallery (with Mark Martins - great artist and lovely guy). Also not far from Stratton mountain, which has a great gondola ride to the peak."
