It was a quaint motel. If you are use to a regular hotel, this isn’t the same but quite comfy. There was a little stream outside our room, #62. Breakfast was limited, but made to order and was very good

Wonderful experience
We arrived late, after 8pm, and it was no problem. Room was clean and comfortable. Other guests were quiet and there was no noise issue. We didn't take advantage of the indoor pool, but it looked warm and clean. Breakfast was great. Over all, stay was excellent. Definitely would recommend this motel.

We love visiting Stowe when going on a motorcycle ride. Needed a cute affordable hotel to stay. Found this hotel with inside pool, hot tub, sauna and breakfast included. Just a cute location and in the back they have chairs to watch the stream

Happy travelers
The room was very cute and clean. The bed was comfortable so we slept very well. The pool area was very clean and we were not over powered by a chlorine smell. The bridge over the too to the lobby is adorable. The hosts were so nice and breakfast was nice and hot. We were so happy with our choice to stay there.

Terrific stay in Stowe, VT
We had a terrific stay here. We deeply appreciated Northern Lights Lodge 's complimentary level 2 EV charging and we were thrilled they powered it with a solar canopy. Very environmentally friendly way to do it and that helps preserve Stowe's natural beauty. Great breakfast, great service. Couldn't be happier with our stay.
