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.

The rooms are above the bar area so it can be loud if there is a band. We knew that and were prepared. Ear plugs are provided in the room in case you need them. The room was clean and met our needs. Very reasonable price. We had a nice stay.
