If it's a clean, warm, cost effective stay with fido along for the ride I stay here when skiing in the Mad River Valley region and have returned after 3 or 4 stays over the past several years since the present young couple/owners took over. Only a couple of rooms are open to pets, so plan in advance accordingly if... more

We've been to this inn several times, and we love the area. We have been there in summer, fall and winter seasons. The area is much more low key than Stowe and Killington, but that's what we like. It is very reasonably priced, and the innkeepers were very friendly and helpful. They really know the area well and are willing... more

We recently went on holiday to New England to see the changing of the colours and passed through Vermont on our way to New Hampshire. We spent an enjoyable two days at the Golden Lion Inn. The rooms were clean and we enjoyed a full, American style breakfast with blueberry pancakes and maple syrup and eggs with sausage and toast.... more

I was hoping for something good with the decent reviews this place has from tripadvisor. But the room was awful. It was so dirty and needs major upgrade and cleaning. And it reeked of mold. I'm not kidding, it was so overpowering, we had to put the air conditioning on full blast, but even that didn't help. The sheets and... more

I was naturally disappointed to see this review. We always try to provide a clean room for a modest price and pride ourselves on our full breakfasts. Based on the review date and the specific complaints, I am aware of the identity of this reviewer. We received a list of these exact complaints after we were forced to charge a...

We had a great time in the Mad River Valley on our latest ski trip to Sugarbush and Mad River Glen and enjoyed our stay at the Golden Lion Inn. The accommodations were inexpensive, the room clean, and the breakfasts were good and hearty. The innkeepers served waffles and pancakes, together with some variation of eggs/bacon or eggs/sausage while we... more

I recently had to spend a week in the Sugarbush area and needed to find a lodging choice that met my three primary criteria: (1) reasonably priced for an extended stay; (2) private baths, simply because I'm not keen on sharing with an inn-full of people; (3) full hot breakfasts as I knew my daily schedule would be unpredictable. The... more

The best lodging in the Mad River Valley, in my opinion, based on budget and hospitality. It has really reasonable rates (less expensive than almost any of the others), but offers a full breakfast like some of the higher priced B&Bs. I've been there in summer, and also during ski season. The innkeepers are very friendly. more

This is the best value in Central Vermont. They charge a reasonable rate and give a full breakfast, as well. The cinnamon french toast was my favorite, but I also had some good pancakes. They have a nice location on the river, too. I went fishing, but didn't catch anything, unfortunately. more
