I love the fact that they are pet friendly…to any kind of animal you may call a pet. Seriously. The room was very clean and comfortable. The owners are amazing people. We were in desperate need of a room for 3 weeks and they gave us one and at a really low cost so that we can afford to have a Christmas with our family. Not knowing us at all, they came through for us even in ways our family and friends couldn’t or wouldn’t. To those with the negative reviews...go to the website. They explain to you that its a 200 year old building and if you’re looking for the Ritz, then go to the Ritz because here you‘re going to get a clean, comfortable room that has the charm and quirks of a 200 year old house. It mentions that their are shared bathrooms and it makes it clear what to expect. Also, almost all motels, hotels, Inns, B&Bs and AirBnBs do not refund your money if you leave early. It’s common practice. I definitely recommend staying here. It’s got what you need with some added charm. The shower head in room 15 was pretty nifty. You’ll have to come book a night in the room to see for yourself though. It’s located right next to the bike path where I took my dogs for a walk several times a day. There is a ton of restaurants and shops within walking distance…including the Liquor Outlet :) And a bunch more attractions just a very short drive away. I didn’t stay in the main Inn because I was in the pet friendly rooms out back but from what I noticed when I went in to do the quickest check in I’ve ever experienced, it appeared to be very cozy and clean. I loved the place and will make it my go-to when needing a room...
Read moreTHANK YOU RIVERSIDE INN!!!
My husband and I decided to take a weekend trip to Stowe with our dog and booked an AirBnB months ago. When we got to the AirBnB, there were personal health hazards and we needed to leave immediately. Which meant we were searching for a place to stay in Vermont. The day of. During leaf season. It was a nightmare.
After searching and searching, I called the Riverside Inn and from the moment the owner answered the phone, I felt hopeful! He was so kind, relaxed, and understanding. He truly empathized with us and our situation and was able to offer us a room for a very reasonable price. He had the room ready for us within twenty minutes. He checks in with the guests each morning and is incredibly accommodating. He cares about his guests and their stories and is conversational, welcoming, and hospitable.
We stayed in a room that hasn’t been fully renovated, yet, but it was still an enjoyable stay. The beds/pillows weren’t the most comfortable, but they weren’t terrible.The room was fairly clean and had everything we would need, including a coffee maker! The window looks out over a stream and the inn is within walking distance of many places to eat and is a quick drive to downtown Stowe. There is even a lovely trail right off the property that was great for our dog. They also have a ton of games to play in the common area!
If you’re looking for a hospitable, reasonable, and friendly place to stay in Stowe, this is the place! It’s nothing fancy, but it’s got charm and we enjoyed our stay. Thank you,...
Read moreIf you're looking for a great and cozy spot in the middle of everything in Stowe - this is the spot. It was very budget friendly for such a busy MLK and fresh snow weekend. It's near everything we love to do in Stowe - minutes from both the slopes and downtown and walking distance to Piecasso (my favorite), Idletyme and The Alchemist. ||The private bathroom room we had was spacious with plenty of space for all the ski and snowshoe gear with more than enough space even with all that in the room. The rooms were always cleans and welcoming.||The best part though for us, was the kindness I received - I left my brand new work phone there. They called me as soon as they found it - and since I was already back in Boston, they offered generously to mail it to me, if I emailed them my address. After my own mistake misspelling the email he gave me, Julian followed up with me again the following day letting me know he hadn't seen anything come through. To say I can't thank them enough for their kindness is an understatement.||The phone was waiting for me when I returned from a business trip that same week.||Again, the rooms are everything you need in the center of it all - and the service and kindness sure...
