I may have missed this because i used ORBITZ app - but had no idea rooms were above a bar - and that a live band would be playing from 7pm-just after 10 pm. The ear plugs provided can't hide bass and drum vibrations through floor and ceiling. room was small - OK for one night, but for two people, more than one night, don't do it! I'm OK with no TV or microwave, but a small fridge would've been nice. It's a "no contact" property, but some woman felt she needed to check if we belonged there after we came in (through the bar, the only way in)!

There seemed to be a thermostat for AC but no air. Mainly the toilet didn’t work. We had to turn off the water to keep it from running all night and remove the tank cover to flush manually.

This is a unique stay. I really enjoyed it and would go back. Pictures are accurate. Bare bones, but great price. LOVED the town and area. Comfy bed. Small, but super clean hot water shower. Live music on the weekend - enjoy it!! - done fairly early. No big deal.

Not Worth It!!

Was expecting to have AC and the room does not come with AC even though there’s a thermostat in the room. Bed was AS HARD AS A ROCK! Regardless I slept well though my boyfriend did not. Room was very tiny. Looked bigger in the images I viewed of the room. Room DOES NOT have cups, utensils, microwave, mini fridge NOT EVEN A TV or mini fan because there’s no AC. Overall, if you’re just looking for a place where you’ll be in the room to just basically sleep then it might be for you. We will not re-book here. Oh and there’s no front desk or a sole around to ask for any extra pillows, towels, etc.

After walking around the quaint town of Wilmington, we couldn't decide where to go for dinner. We went to the bar to taste test the beer and ended up ordering a pizza. The bartender gave us ice to take upstairs. The building is an older building and has many eccentricities. We loved staying here and will stay again if in the neighborhood.

Valley Craft Ales is an Old Mill turned into a Restaurant and Lodging location. It is conveniently located in downtown Wilmington, VT. There is no receptionist so you have to let yourself in with a computer code. You may find yourself approached by two aggressively barking midsize dogs, if you arrive after hours. If you do, don't panic, their barks are bigger than their bites. The rooms are comfortable,clean, quiet and pest free. There is a terrific River out back that can be seen and heard, from your window which is calmingp. You can even swim in it. Great ventilation. On the downside, we had sink faucet problems which were repaired after a few days.. We were told we would be refunded for those. .There is sn unswept rocky front stairway and a building exterior badly in need of some carpentry repair and a fresh coat of red paint. They have, on some evenings, guitar entertainment but it's low and nice background music in the room. They stop at 9:00 pm to not keep Lodgers up. It can be a super comfortable stay if they just fix some of the glitches. The need stairway Masonry to create a smooth sidewalk to the back River. The place has a LOT of promise. The dogs need a backyard. The Management was warm and friendly. Decent people . #####

i never got to even stay there because they never sent me the damn "passcode" to get in my room... if i had known about the whole "virtual thing" before i even made the reservation then i wouldn't have booked the reservation in the first place... i don't want to drive 4 hours to get there to find out that no one there knows the information needed to get me in my room... i waited until 3 PM which is way later than i wanted to just to see if they would respond to me giving me the door passcode,,, so they text it way after 3 and i had already forfeited the entire trip because i would be rushing at that point and speeding... not worth it.. ruins the whole happy vibe of a trip in the first place... they should have given me what i needed at the time that they billed me!!! so i lost 200$ and overall...lesson learned

Property is definitely unique! There is no front desk or check in; you get an email or text with the code to your door and your room number and that's it. Convenient, but nobody to talk to if you had any issues. The rooms are above the bar, and they frequently have live music, so be mindful of that. I will say that I stayed on a Saturday night and the music was done by 10:45pm, but you could still hear people at the bar and going in and out of the front door, and even people just coughing in the next room. It is a very old building, and they do supply you with ear plugs as they understand that noise is an issue. The beer was good, the pizza was good, so if you just need a bed for the night and don't mind noise, it's a fine place to stay.

Horrible place to stay

The website indicates air conditioning. The thermostats did not work so no air conditioning. Other lighting was so bad I couldn’t see anything much but everything looked dingy and dirty. The bathroom sink was tiny and the second bathroom was across a public hall when it was represented as a two bathroom unit. It was so bad that we had to find another hotel to stay in. We did not stay in the room that was totally paid for. Complete waste of money.
