Very nice and cute. Really wish it was quieter though, the neighbor was so loud in the morning and woke us up at 7am. They did have a note that tells people that it’ll be loud, so that’s good at least!

Valley craft is a great time. Hotel is nice. Pizza and brewery downstairs is excellent. They do have bands occasionally which can be loud so be aware.

Awesome local spot to stay!

I have stayed here several times, we love it here! If you are used to luxury though, this isn’t it. The building is older and has such lovely character in each room. Yes, it’s small, it’s like a B&B without the breakfast. The bar and brick oven pizza below is amazing! Their beer is very good as well. All of the staff are super nice. They do have music and bands on the weekends. We enjoyed this and didn’t find it disruptive to our sleep. Yes, the walls are thin, but not where it was awful. I don’t know what some reviewers expected! The beds and bathroom are super clean. No weird smells in the room! They leave you some small shampoos etc which is helpful. The towels are nice and clean and the water is hot. The shower stall is small but we don’t mind that. It’s self check in and steps to upstairs rooms only. Our only complaint is the mattresses are all pretty hard in every room we have stayed so far. A mattress topper would help. Aside from that, it’s an amazing spot close to the mountain! Thank you for our great stays! We will be back.

This is my second time staying here. This experience was definitely better than the last as I knew exactly what to expect in regards to noise, the band, parking and crowds. If you know what to expect it is the perfect place. It is not a place to stay if you want good sleep. But if you want great pizza and music, it is perfect if you’re trying to ski on a budget. Come prepared with noise cancelling headphones.

Great, clean room close to Mt Snow

We love this spot! Yes, it’s an older building with history and the rooms are small, but it’s a great stay! Close to the mountain, always clean and the rooms don’t smell weird like some. The shower stall is small but water is hot! We have stayed in a few rooms and the mattresses are very hard but maybe we are just used to softer ones. You have your own thermostat and it’s not those wall units. The restaurant/bar downstairs is great. The beer is great and so is their pizza. Friendly staff also! If you are high maintenance this place may not be for you, but we love it.

The room was basic which was expected for the price. The shower is extremely, extremely small. The bed was decent. Checking in is easy with door codes. But you can hear every neighbor’s sounds. And if someone is in the hallway or below your room, it honestly sounds like they’re in your room. It is not muffled. I also had the room directly above the band. To say the place is “not quiet” and that earplugs are provided if the noise exceeds your preference is a complete understatement. It is like there is a concert is in your room, everything is vibrating and my own noise cancelling headphones did not make a difference. If you’re joining in the fun, it could be fine. But I arrived after the band started, could not find parking anywhere in the town for a half hour. When I walked inside, the restaurant was so packed and there were about 30 people just in line for a drink. Amazing for the business, but long lines deterred me from joining in. I didn’t check the band calendar ahead of time and would recommend it. I guess I imagined chill live music where I could grab some beer and chill out. Something I would typically see at a brewery. But it was more like a small legit concert with lots of dancing. Again, amazing for the business, but definitely not for a traveler that wants to sleep or have a place to relax.

Good Stay

The location was great, just 15 minutes from Mount Snow and it’s right in Wilmington so close to shops and restaurants. The room was basic but clean, we had the family room with two single beds and one queen. The single beds seemed comfortable but the queen bed was VERY firm. Also, the room was directly above the stage. And the music performance on Saturday went until 11pm instead of 10 as advertised. The music was really loud, so I would not recommend this for a family with young kids or people who want to go to bed early. It was the cheapest place we could find though, so I would still stay again.

VCA solo stay

The room was just as expected, basic, clean and comfortable for a solo stay. The noise level SAT night was quite loud due to the band performing downstairs. A TV in the room would be great for relaxing during down times. WiFi was good and bathroom was exceptionally clean and even had toiletries. Only thing lacking was a spare roll of bath tissue.

Great local spot!

Room was nice and clean, hot water was HOT, nice views of the creek, town right around the corner and 15 mins to Mount Snow. We had a great time. The pizza and bar/beer beneath the rooms was great. I was impressed with their beer. The staff were super friendly. The rooms are small(older historic building which was very nice) and have no tv/fridge/microwave so just keep that in mind if you need those things. The noise complaints on some reviews seem irrational. It’s an older building and above a bar/band scene some nights. Not sure what they expect. We had a great stay and will be returning!

Housed in a former riverside mill, the rooms are basic, simple no frills rooms. The bathroom was fine (shower stall), heat excellent, but walls are very thin. Fortunately it was a quiet weekday nite for me, so the few customers went to bed early, and there was no band downstairs in the restaurant/bar. There is no front desk, you enter with door codes which worked fine. The low price was most attractive for me, and I was skiing at Mt Snow the next day. On a full weekend, parking may be kind of far from the entrance which could be a pain.

Great for the price

This is a great location if you want to be near Mount Snow. The room and bathroom are clean, the pizza and drinks downstairs are good, and it’s great place for the price. It is quite loud until the live music stops on the weekends, but they are very upfront about that.
