Tucker Hill Lodge — Hotel in Fayston

My daughters and I stayed just one night at Tucker Hill Inn in October 2024, in the Lincoln room.

There was a very strong sewage / septic smell in the Lincoln room, particularly the bedroom with the queen bed. While it was noticeable in the smaller bedroom (with two twin beds), the odor would literally take your breath away when entering the queen bedroom. At $359 per night (pre-tax), this shouldn't happen.

Minor issue: queen bedroom has no electrical outlets that can be used to plug devices in to rest on either nightstand. I understand this is an older building, but a power strip could have been provided. I wouldn't have even mentioned this if it weren't for the horrid sewage odor.

Pros of this inn: toiletries were nice, check-in was seamless (upon arrival, our room key was in an envelope at the front desk), breakfast was tasty, especially the croissants. Cozy lounge area and attractive landscaping.

I can't comment on hospitality / service as at no point did the hosts/owners introduce themselves to us. They may or may not have been present during breakfast. A lady took our plates away when we had finished eating but that was the only human interaction we experienced.

Overall, I'd only recommend this Inn if the septic issue was...

We stayed at the Tucker Hill Inn (the first stay with the new owners!) and I cannot say enough GREAT things about how amazing our weekend was. We had to postpone our big wedding due to covid, but wanted a small ceremony with immediate family to get married this year. We decided on Tucker Hill Inn, as it is a beautiful location with lots of options and could accommodate our families and follows COVID-19 state guidelines. The rooms were all updated from the last time we saw the Inn and very clean. Super spacious rooms and plenty of amenities. The staff went above and beyond to make our weekend as special and memorable as possible. The food was absolutely incredible (still dreaming of that French Onion Soup!). The service was amazing, we even made a last minute decision to do the ceremony outside and the owner's were so helpful with suggestions! The staff made us feel so welcomed and truly made it an unforgettable experience. My husband and I cannot wait to come back every year to celebrate our future anniversaries!

Cozy, warm, clean with excellent staff! We decided to spend our Covid Christmas this year at the Tucker Hill Inn as we for the first time in 31 years were without our children due to Covid. The Inn has been a frequent favorite of ours and we are so happy to see that the new owners are continuing the legacy of thoughtfulness and friendly service. Our room was great with a great mattress that made you never want to get up (sorry we were 15 minutes late for breakfast) and everything else was perfect. The breakfast was filling at cooked just for us even had Maple syrup for the French Toast can you imagine that? (BTW it's the only way to have them with real VT Maple Syrup). They have a very cozy pub with great fare and an excellent bar which is open to the public and makes you feel like you are truly in a place with years of character ambiance! As owners of a resort, we must say it's so great to be in a place that hits...
