We spent two weeks traveling New England. Focusing on VT, Maine & RI. 5 days were spent at the Mad River Lodge. Although all the places we stayed were all very nice - none of them left us with the feeling of home away from home like MRL did. The main lobby and opportunity to meet other travellers was very enjoyable. The whole place felt peaceful and homey and would absolutely stay there again.

The room was an adequate size for our needs. The shower was a corner shower but again adequate. Noisy at times from adjoining rooms especially people arrivingreturning in the evening or leaving early morning. An allocated parking space right outside our room would have been good given our room was accessed from outside at ground level. It was mildly annoying when other guests parked outside our door. A coffee maker in the room would be a great idea again given that ours was an 'exterior' room and you have to go outside and up the external stairs to get coffee. Complimentary bottles of water would have been appreciated rather than having to pay $2 in the lobby.

Nice to go to a room at the end of a long drive and have the room be clean. It was great for what we were looking for - just a place to rest our heads while we went visiting family in Vermont.

Great friendly service. Appreciated the ease of entering and leaving the room. Room and bathroom was immaculately clean. Space was incredibly small. Banged into the tv walking around the end of the bed to go to the washroom in the middle of the night The bathroom was claustrophobic. Sink must be the minimum legal size. Shower was hardly big enough to turn around in. Finally, the place wasn’t near anything a half hour drive from Waterbury. The drive was beautiful and the area around the lodge is gorgeous. Don’t get me wrong. The place was t bad. Just much smaller than I expected. Well worth a stay if you’re ok with the space.
