Echo Lake Inn

Lovely and relaxing inn Echo lake inn is a cosy bed and breakfast a few miles from Okemo ski resort. It has a lovely character with a shared sitting room with a fireplace and extremely friendly and helpful staff. We were there for a few days skiing and it was a lovely respite after a day on the slopes. The breakfast was great and there was a games room downstairs with a pool table etc. The only drawbacks are there is no elevator and not a lot of hot water for showers at times. The surroundings are very pretty and it would be a lovely location at all times of the year. There are a number of fun restaurants a short driving distance away.

A Classic Vermont Inn Classic Vermont Inn. All you would want or expect from a Vermont Inn stay. Great staff and awesome breakfast. Short drive to Okemo for skiing.

Once you consider that this is a very old inn, they did a pretty good job of putting in modern comforts.

Spent a weekend in a nice quaint room. It had all we needed. Enjoyed being able to go downstairs to the living room early in the morning for a cup of coffee. The 24 hour coffee service is a welcome addition. The staff were extremely friendly and welcoming. The dinners were superb as were the breakfasts. Will certainly return when visiting the area next.

Lovely inn. Went to VT to see the total eclipse

Nestled deep in the dense forests of Vermonts green mountains and worlds away from bustling Main streets, packed strip malls and summer highway traffic is Echo Lake Inn, an ode to classic Rockwellian New England beauty with enough of a sense of modernity to appeal to almost anybody. The Inn built in the waning days of the 18th century is full of comfortable areas to relax and celebrate your vacation. A small but fully stocked bar with local beers and wines is adorned with odes to Vermonts history specifically President Calvin Coolidge who is one of the many historical figures who’ve spent time at the Inn throughout the years. The deep cushioned leather chairs and couches offer premium relaxation to enjoy a nightcap to put an exclamation point on a fantastic day. The cavernous basement has, what was during our stay a non functional bar area full of local beer taps not in use. There is a dart board, pool table and an endless supply of board/ card games to relax and waste the day away with. The large and charmingly forward sloped wooden farmers porch is a great place to enjoy your morning coffee overlooking the thick forest and nearby black brook that flows into the pristine reflective echo lake for which the Inn is named If wasting away the day playing games or taking in the scenery isn’t your speed then there is plenty of hiking trails, golf, paddle board and kayaking right by the Inn. And of course during the winter months the Inn is in the shadow of Okemo mountain, one of Vermonts premier ski resorts. Modern amenities include a hot tub in a nearby small pool house that comfortably fits four to six, and sits adjacent to a tennis/pickleball court As for my personal experience I showed up on a Friday afternoon with a group of nine for a Murder Mystery experience. This event brought about 60 visitors to the inn and despite the onslaught of seemingly never needing guest arrivals the staff didn’t miss a beat along the way. Never once did we feel the staff was inattentive or that the experience wasn’t enjoyable despite the ever increasing crowd. During this time of year (early June) a lot of the downtown area is shut down or on limited and restricted hours so the Inn became our sanctuary. All of our needs were at worst met, and far often exceeded. John, the Inn owner and his staff were absolutely amazing. Simply singing the praises of the staff on a review board would not do them the justice they deserve. I’d advise anybody who makes this area of the Green Mountains a destination to come to the Echo Lake Inn. It was old world hospitality and charm that kept everybody happy and made just another weekend into an unforgettable experience that myself and my friends will treasure. I would be remiss if I didn’t mention the Inns most popular employee the lovable and accommodating She Ra. A sweetheart of a dog that makes all guests feel at home.
