My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The location was superb, just minutes away from downtown Bennington and the Apple Barn store with delicious foods. The rooms, though quaint, had a musty smell and creaky beds. The service was friendly and accommodating, enhancing my overall experience. However, the dining options were basic, and the facilities were uninspired.

The rooms had a quaint atmosphere with dark pine paneling and wood pelmets over the drapes. Despite being clean, they had a musty smell, and the old beds squeaked with every movement.

Staying at this hotel felt like camping in a rustic cabin with 60s style crank open windows and wood paneling. The rooms, although large and clean, were set far back from the office, causing the WiFi to be basically useless outside 10 pm, especially in the rain. The location, while great for exploring downtown Bennington and being close to the Apple Barn store, felt a bit too far out of town to walk, even though it was just a minute by car.

Staying at this hotel is like stepping back in time to a rustic cabin from the '60s. The rooms are very old with some noise leakage, missing tiles in the bathroom, and worn-out furnishings. On the plus side, the service was accommodating and the location convenient for exploring the town.

Staying at this hotel felt like a cozy retreat with its rustic cabin vibe, complete with 60s style crank open windows and wood paneling. The room, with a view of the mountains and garden, offered a serene atmosphere despite some sound transfer from the connecting room. Over time, the charm of the setting grew on us.

The hotel is located on a tranquil country road, near nature trails for hiking and close to art museums and the Bennington center. It's a quick drive from town, though a bit far for a leisurely walk.

The hotel's rooms were very cute and spacious, immaculate, and well-organized, but had missing tiles in the bathroom, holes in the 'carpet' due to baseboard heat removal, and a mini-fridge door that dragged on the floor due to the slant. The location was convenient, with a great view and easy access to downtown Bennington, but the dining options were simple and limited.
