Reviews

Beautiful room that was quiet and comfortable. The Lazy Goat Tavern was excellent. Staff was helpful and pleasant. We enjoyed relaxing at the spa as well. Overall, amazing stay.
-
The rooms are somewhat dated, but fully functional. The hotel has two dining establishments attached and sells desserts at the desk as well. The pools and hot tub were great. A peaceful retreat overall, just didn’t feel the room felt as “spa-like” as the resort sounds. Not much to do around here.
-
The desk chair was horrible. The mattress needs to be replaced.
-
Fantastic indoor pool. If you’re a swimmer you will love this place.

Beautiful location, friendly and helpful staff. The pools were perfect and our 2 daughters (6yrs and 9yrs old) loved the goats. The Lazy Goat Tavern had great food and drink options (even a mocktail!). We loved our stay and would definitely go back.

Our favorite place to stay in Vermont!

Lovely place with very pleasant facilities. The bikes, however, left something to be desired and the bike trails were not very good.

The negatives: Booking through Expedia incurred a $10 fee that was unexpected and the hotel staff did a mediocre job explaining the rationale for that charge. Being a culinary resort, I expected more treats included for guests and if not free breakfast, then at least a meal subsidy at one of the onsite eateries. All in all, it’s a nice, quiet place to stay and relax if you want to be close to Burlington but not in the city.

Beautiful property with a relaxing spa

Gardens, food, and staff (Ryleigh and Aidan) were superior. Very kind, engaging and professional. Convenient but perhaps a tad accessible. The island of solitude and serenity is quite welcoming despite relative adjacency to the highway.
