Echo Lake Inn

"Nestled deep in the dense forests of Vermonts green mountains and worlds away from bustling Main streets, packed strip malls and summer highway traffic is Echo Lake Inn, an ode to classic Rockwellian New England beauty with enough of a sense of modernity to appeal to almost anybody. The Inn built in the waning days of the 18th century is full of comfortable areas to relax and celebrate your vacation. A small but fully stocked bar with local beers and wines is adorned with odes to Vermonts history specifically President Calvin Coolidge who is one of the many historical figures who’ve spent time at the Inn throughout the years. The deep cushioned leather chairs and couches offer premium relaxation to enjoy a nightcap to put an exclamation point on a fantastic day. The cavernous basement has, what was during our stay a non functional bar area full of local beer taps not in use. There is a dart board, pool table and an endless supply of board/ card games to relax and waste the day away with. The large and charmingly forward sloped wooden farmers porch is a great place to enjoy your morning coffee overlooking the thick forest and nearby black brook that flows into the pristine reflective echo lake for which the Inn is named If wasting away the day playing games or taking in the scenery isn’t your speed then there is plenty of hiking trails, golf, paddle board and kayaking right by the Inn. And of course during the winter months the Inn is in the shadow of Okemo mountain, one of Vermonts premier ski resorts. Modern amenities include a hot tub in a nearby small pool house that comfortably fits four to six, and sits adjacent to a tennis/pickleball court As for my personal experience I showed up on a Friday afternoon with a group of nine for a ****** Mystery experience. This event brought about 60 visitors to the inn and despite the onslaught of seemingly never needing guest arrivals the staff didn’t miss a beat along the way. Never once did we feel the staff was inattentive or that the experience wasn’t enjoyable despite the ever increasing crowd. During this time of year (early June) a lot of the downtown area is shut down or on limited and restricted hours so the Inn became our sanctuary. All of our needs were at worst met, and far often exceeded. John, the Inn owner and his staff were absolutely amazing. Simply singing the praises of the staff on a review board would not do them the justice they deserve. I’d advise anybody who makes this area of the Green Mountains a destination to come to the Echo Lake Inn. It was old world hospitality and charm that kept everybody happy and made just another weekend into an unforgettable experience that myself and my friends will treasure. I would be remiss if I didn’t mention the Inns most popular employee the lovable and accommodating She Ra. A sweetheart of a dog that makes all guests feel at home."
