Amazing location to see the Fall foliage and do many outdoors activities! Cozy, clean and comfy room, with streaming TV for downtime. I even had the adjustable memory foam bed in my cabin like little room. Jennifer was a wonderful host and called me on my drive in to check in with me. Thank you!

My son and I stayed here because we were driving from Pittsburgh to University of Vermont to move him in to college. This place was right in the route. Jenny greeted us and showed us around. My son wanted to fish in the nearby lakes, so we did fished, and then went to a nearby pub for dinner. Jenny had called the pub for us to make sure they were open. Each room of the Inn is unique and feels so luxurious. All the linens, pillows, towels are just top notch. My son wants to stop here every trip to college.

It was definitely different. You have to share a bathroom with other inn guests. We were the only ones who were at the Inn for our 1 night. So it wasn't an issue but guess I got to read the fine print better. And there was no A/C. You could open the window, but there was no screen to let the cool air in. So we just opened the window & gambled that we wouldn't let in the bugs along with the cooler air. It wasn't that hot of a day, but I can only imagine that place on a typical warm summer day/evening. On the positive, the host was nice, the wifi worked and, outside of the A/C, the room was nice. Given the stellar reviews and the price we paid (it was over $150 for a Monday night), I guess I was expecting something a bit nicer.

The hosts were both pleasant and welcoming. We were met with an explanation and a quick tour of the Inn. Jenny provided recommendations for a local restaurant nearby, and it was great.

We had a great stay at the Balsam Inn! Everyone put their hearts into giving folks a great experience. My husband says the dinner was the finest he ever had, and I appreciated all the little things that made our travel easier (ice for coolers, a shared frig, absolutely lovely and plentiful bedding). We would definitely stay there again!
