Property is definitely unique! There is no front desk or check in; you get an email or text with the code to your door and your room number and that's it. Convenient, but nobody to talk to if you had any issues. The rooms are above the bar, and they frequently have live music, so be mindful of that. I will say that I stayed on a Saturday night and the music was done by 10:45pm, but you could still hear people at the bar and going in and out of the front door, and even people just coughing in the next room. It is a very old building, and they do supply you with ear plugs as they understand that noise is an issue. The beer was good, the pizza was good, so if you just need a bed for the night and don't mind noise, it's a fine place to stay.

An old mill converted into a brewery with rooms for rent - how could you go wrong?! Stayed here in a hiking a trip. Rooms are small, but for a place to stay while hiking it was perfect

Horrible place to stay

The website indicates air conditioning. The thermostats did not work so no air conditioning. Other lighting was so bad I couldn’t see anything much but everything looked dingy and dirty. The bathroom sink was tiny and the second bathroom was across a public hall when it was represented as a two bathroom unit. It was so bad that we had to find another hotel to stay in. We did not stay in the room that was totally paid for. Complete waste of money.

Charming and fun

The inn is above the brew pub/pizzeria, which is an old ski lodge, which is pretty rustic and very charming. Great deck over the river where you can enjoy pizza and beer. Quiet (when no live music, which is mostly), easy to access. Stairs, basic plumbing, nice location.

A very unique place to stay in southern VT. I did love my view overlooking the river. I can imagine it's a great place to stay in the summer, especially as a group if you're looking for local lodging close to hiking etc. I was there end of May, just before the start of the summer season apparently, and it was all but abandoned which was disconcerting to me. I arrived on a day when the restaurant and bar were closed (monday) and no staff were present. The place has a code lock on the front door for self check-in. It was completely dark and uninhabited when i arrived. Turns out (I learned from one of the owners that was present later that evening) I was one of 2 people staying in the whole place. Being in a town I've never been to before, travelling alone, this was not my ideal. Had I not arrived on a monday, the bar and restaurant would have been open though, and that would have likely felt very different. I would consider staying again under different circumstances because the place is very unique (building and antiques) and the owner was cool when I ran into him. But the whole place (especially windows, carpets and probably HVAC sys) could use a deep spring cleaning! 3 stars for cleanliness felt pretty generous but the bedding and bathroom were spotless and i'm giving the benefit of the doubt due to being off season.

This is an old rustic building that is also a Brewery/Restaurant/Music Venue. Very cool. Walk into town in a minute. If you are looking for a unique stay, this is it! If you are looking for Shiny new, bell hop, room service, pool, spa etc, this is NOT the place for you.

A friend and I stayed 2 nights at Valley Craft Ale while we attended a 2-day golf school nearby. Neither of us is too particular about our accommodations, so we went with the lower price of the Valley Craft Ale, reassured by its "Excellent" rating. While the price was certainly right and having the pizza & ale house below is very convenient, the room was far from excellent. Our reservation was for one of the "family" rooms, which has 1 queen and 2 single beds. While the room was clean, the beds, chair, dresser, and rugs all had to be at least 20 years old. Both single beds sank in the middle, and the queen was extra firm. In addition, the thermostat did not control the excessive heat in the room. We were forced to open all the windows to cool the room (once we installed the temporary screens that were provided). Oh, and my bad, I neglected to notice in the room description that there was no TV in the room. I've stayed in many excellent hotels and this is not one of them.

It’s a hotel room to sleep in for $100 a night..Had to buy my own soap and shampoo because the bottles were smaller than travel size. No tv. Glad I had my iPad. Keyless entry is nice. Host is very communicative, excellent in that regards. When I booked the hotel it said one room left, the place was empty, maybe 1 other person staying there…overall I’d stay here again, options are extremely limited in this area. But definitely not worth $100 a night…

It's not clear on expedia that this is also a music venue but anyone intending to stay here should check the Valley Ales website because you can hear the live music in the rooms. The room was cozy and clean but the shower was extremely small (difficult to shave your legs small). I loved opening my window to hear the river outside. It was a convenient location to walk into town.
