The Upper Pass Lodge

great place to stay for skiing, Magic mountain is 1/2 mile away from the lodge or at Stratton, which is 20/25 minutes to the south. I had a good experience here the staff was friendly accommodating and helpful, and there is a restaurant/ bar on the premise that serves hearty meals at reasonable $.

It was a little boisterous in my room during dinner hours as my room was directly above the kitchen, but after dinner things would get quiet again. of course it wasn’t much of a big deal, and I wanted the room for the jacuzzi. the staff offered to switch my room to another one, but I decided to keep it for the jacuzzi tub it had… a small price to pay for the awesomeness of an in room jacuzzi tub, a great way to relax after a hard day of making turns!

Very homey feeling, and good location. Also very well priced! They did a great job and gave me a really good room with my own mini porch!! They’re also dog friendly so my friend was able to bring her emotional support dog with her. The AC in the room worked amazingly! Above and beyond service from all members of the staff, and great food in the red slate restaurant!

There was a small bit of dust on the lampshade and some surfaces (not high touch ones or anything I was touching so it didn’t affect me). I didn’t realize they wouldn’t have a fridge there, but this hardly bothered me and the staff was amazing with servicing me and giving me ice and even offered to keep some items in their cooler as needed. Only thing I was sad about was not having breakfast (I didn’t have a car with me).

Upper Pass is an older lodge located 100 yards away from base of Magic Mtn. Has a small bar open on weekends with a nice common area/fire place. Affordable, decent breakfast, dinner on weekends. Food is like comfort diner food. Perfect for after skiing. Upper Pass isn't a fancy new diamond. What Upper Pass is? An older affordable lodge with a laid back feel. You can just imagine the good times so many people have experienced over the years. I saw it in the main common area this last weekend.

Very Pet friendly, including the lounge and bar area. We have a puppy, who didn't want to be alone in the room. So, we had him with us in the bar for dinner.

A little noisy at night with the heating. Not too bad, but if you are a light sleeper, it may bother you. Luckily we were all tired from skiing, this was not an issue.

The food for dinner was reasonably priced and fantastic, lovely services from the hardworking bartender/waitress/front of hotel checkin lady.

The pillow was horrible and gave me a sore neck. I had some kind of insect bites all over me the next morning. I don’t know if it was from something I picked up in the room

Comfortable mattress and pillows. Rooms were bright - especially large bathroom. Nice having the restaurant on-site. After a day of touring VT, we could kick back and had a nice dinner outside on the grass. Very good. Vince, Corin and Maria were extremely pleasant.

No refrigerator or microwave.

The hiking was close and food was nearby plus a restaurant and bar all in one place.

The firm mattress. But some people don't mind that, I would like it to have been softer but no biggie.

We appreciated the location, friendliness of the owner, convenience of allowing dogs, and last-minute availability. The room comfortably accommodated our family of five and a dog when a rain storm shortened our camping trip. This property doesn’t boast of fine details but it was comfortable and met our needs. We especially loved Lowell Lake and going to Manchester. We think this would be a fun place to stay during ski season.

I liked the cleanliness, lots of towels and housekeeping was done daily which was very nice as most places don’t each day anymore it seems.

the area seemed a little run-down, however, it could have just been during slow season so most things weren’t running

Picked this place as a “middle point” between the more visited towns like Manchester/Woodstock/Bennington — location was great, nice and calm. Easy to access. The restaurant there is absolutely amazing! We tried a bunch of different things.. Only wish they were open Mon-Tues because we would have definitely eaten there every night! Love how pet friendly the hotel is too! There’s a water bowl for doggies at the entrance and lots of space in the back for them to run around. Wish I could’ve stayed here longer, maybe next year :)

Restaurant wasn’t open every day
