We spent two nights there and was involved in a dinner theatre. The host were outstanding and very friendly. The entertainment was really fun and I highly recommend this place. The murder mystery night was exciting and loads of fun. Even if you're not involved in the entertainment, you may want to visit here anyway.

Stayed for 2 nights in February. Cute little motel. Very quiet, older furnishings but clean and comfortable. Didn't get a chance to sample breakfast. Great value for the money. So close to the mountain! Will certainly stay here again.

We have been staying at this location (under different names and different owners) for over 20 years. It is very close to Mt. Snow. The rooms are not the Marriott, but they are clean and inviting. The owners (Steve and Caroline) could not make us feel more welcome. Breakfast is varied, good and filling. We come every year with a... More

Big Bear Lodge is just a short distance from the mountain entrance at Mount Snow. My son and I stayed there and found it very comfortable and clean. Full breakfast with eggs or choice of cereals, muffins etc. They have a hot tub which we didn't use but it looked okay. There is a couple of TV/sitting rooms that would... More

The lodge is just outside the Mt. Snow entrance, so it was very convenient. Rooms were clean and cozy, with a lot of different bedding options available. Breakfast was very good, both hot and cold options available. Only drawback was that we had a room close to the stairs, and there was noise from people walking up and down at... More

Steve and Caroline, thank you for everything you did for us all this weekend. Breakfast was excellent, dinner as well. This was our first trip to Vermont and it was excellent. We felt very welcomed at your lodge. Check-in was easy, everything was ready when we got there. Excellent group of people for the murder mystery. I loved it here.... More

When reading the reviews on this placed it seemed like a mixed bag, but more positive than negative. We were able to check in around 2pm. Our room was clean although small, which was fine because we pretty much spend the day out and about. There were 3 common areas you could hang out at, all very good sized, 2... More

I have stayed here every time I visit the area. Caroline and Stephen are lovely, friendly and warm hosts. The hotel is clean and comfortable. Breakfast is much nicer than just a continental, cooked to order. Family functions have been wonderful. They employ a very talented chef for private affairs, and he has never disappointed.
