This property offerw elegance without opulence. It feels cozy, the food is delicious, the staff all go out of their way to make you feel at home. The hot tub is wonderful after a cold day of skiing or a walk.

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.

Great food but cold showers
Pros: The staff was very friendly. The food was superb. The wait staff in the dining room had to close the curtains to warm up the room even when they said the thermostat was set to 80 degrees. The bedroom was warm. The mattress sunk in the middle. The manager told us when we arrived that the plumbing was iffy and we may get cold water from time-to-time. He said the plumber was coming the next day. The showers were cold throughout our 3 day stay. We would recommend the restaurant.

Hi April' Thank you for your feedback. I'm glad you enjoyed the amenities and cuisine. Sorry about the Hot Tub occasionally some of our younger guests splash a little to much, so it takes a few hours to get the tub back on line.

The location was perfect for us as my daughter lives about 5 miles away. She already had a houseful, so this was nice for us to get away from the activity. We were also close to where the shower was being held.

Wonderful charming VT Inn; gourmet on-site dining.
My husband and I enjoyed a lovely overnight at the Echo Lake Inn this weekend. It is a delightful bed and breakfast with a terrific staff. We had all the benefits of a hotel room with en suite bathroom, toiletries, hair dryer, and all of the charm of a country inn with common space such as a fireplaced living room and quaint tavern. The location is within easy reach of Ludlow and Killington so is a perfect destination for skiers. Upon arrival we were greeted warmly by the owner Tom. We ate dinner and breakfast at the inn and both were absolutely delicious. My husband and I spend a lot of time in New York City and the quality of the food was on a par with the high end restaurants there. Our waiter Kyle provided excellent service and our breakfast chef was welcoming and very accommodating with changes to the printed menu. In total, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Inn and highly recommend it.

Old world charming Inn
Average room with no frills. No elevator so be prepared to walk up two floors with suitcases. No closet for clothes hanging, small bathroom and no connection to reception. More like bed and breakfast type. Rooms are close to route 100 and automobile and bike noise is an issue. Charming old style Inn with great location. Free breakfast was great. Small 14 inch TV in the room with cable.

Historic property with all the implications: charm, character, oddness, well worn carpets, rickety stairs, dated wall paper, etc. Attentive staff but one went overboard. I would stay here again, but only after fully exploring other options in the environs.

Charming historical inn minutes from ski center.
As this is a historical inn, there is a sitting room, restaurant, and lounge area on the main floor. All rooms are on the upper floors without elevators. They have many nice touches including fresh flowers, book shelves on each floor, and beautiful rockers on the front porch. Outdoor pool, hot tub, access to rowboats & canoes, beautifully landscaped yard perfect for stargazing at night. Less than 10 minutes to Okimo ski center. Comfortable king and queen beds in a large room.

The age of the property appealed to us. The staff was too busy to welcome us warmly as I feel an Inn staff should be prepared to do. Our room was a comfortable size for one night but a closet would have been nice.

Great service, fantastic food, quaint
Stayed during a drive across New England for a leaf-peeping fall foliage tour. The inn was frankly a little dated in decor, but was clean and also had a certain country charm. The service was exceptional - from the moment we walked in until the moment we left, we had the full attention of the staff. We ate dinner at the restaurant inside the inn. And we were extremely glad that we did! The meal was our best of our week-long trip. The bread pudding was simply the best I have ever had. The friendly service and exceptional food make this a very pleasurable experience. We'll be back!

Lovely old secluded inn.
The staff made us very welcome, carrying my heavy suitcase to my room up a short but quite steep stairway. Arrived late but readily got great gin and tonic followed by tasty well cooked evening meal. Breakfast was included and had good choices and full plates. Very friendly helpful staff and got good background info and suggested activities from the charming Zimbabwean owner.

Good Days on water....
We were greeted as old friends...we were given tips for good places to eat. Everything we needed was at the hotel premises. The breakfasts were filling and very delicious. The dinner meals were excellent in quality and taste.
