Aerie Inn

"The best motel we've ever stayed in! Perfection and convenience in everything. It's an amazing deal too. That's coming from somebody who stays in hotels at least 50 nights a year for several decades."

"Adorable inn with friendly and helpful innkeepers. They have a back deck with a beautiful view. A few minutes drive from Manchester, near Hwy 7 but it feels secluded."

"I'm going to start by saying I was extremely happy about my choice to book here just based off the first phone call alone. The hostess (Cindy) was incredibly polite, welcoming and friendly. It was like calling a family member to let them know when you were coming to visit. Once we arrived, the property was absolutely stunning. The view of the mountains, the landscaping of the grounds and the outdoor amenities made this place a hidden gem. The innkeepers provided us with supplies to make a fire outside in the well appointed fire pit. It was surrounded by Adirondack chairs, tree stump seats and a large and well constructed pit with plenty of firewood. Both Bob and Cindy (the innkeepers) came out to the fireplace that first night and asked if they could join me. They offered me a local craft beer favorite of theirs and we shot the bull for a good while. GREAT folks and you can tell they bust their behinds going out of their way to make your stay enjoyable. The room was immaculate. It smelled freshly cleaned when we entered, it looked incredibly clean and was well stocked with teas and coffees as well as what appeared to be local hand soaps. If I could give these folks 10 stars I would! I will be a repeat customer for the foreseeable future visits just to have this hospitality and quaint accommodations again!"

"Well-kept property. Staying there was like taking a trip in the 1960's except the rooms have been upgraded to include a fridge and microwave. Other nice touches like homemade soap and candies make it unique and inviting. Massive green space beyond parking area in front of motel conducive for short walks, informal outdoor activities or just relaxing in the many Adirondack chairs under the trees or sitting around the fire pit. View of the hillside beyond the lawn area particularly nice in autumn when leaves change color. Rooms are reasonably large for mid-20th century vintage motel. Beds were comfortable and bathroom clean and well-stocked. Check-in time is limited, so be sure to verify times before you arrive. Owners/managers appear to be doing a lot of the room cleaning themselves so understandably can't maintain a 24/7 front desk operation with that much on their plate during the day. All-in-all a good stay at a quiet, comfortable property off the beaten path. If you need a place with lots of spontaneous activity, amenities with lots of quaint restaurants and shops nearby -- this isn't for you. After 10 days on the road at 8 different properties, we found this to be a great place to catch our breath before a long drive home. A safe choice at a good value."

"Everyone was so lovely and welcoming! Beautiful grounds includes a fire pit with plenty of kindling and wood to start your own fire. The room was very clean and cozy, and the shower has great water pressure which was perfect for after a hike up Gilbert’s Lookout in Dorset. If I could give more stars I would. I definitely plan to return even if I hike somewhere else in Vermont."
