Great price for a skiing weekend trip to Stowe. Very friendly hosts and they allowed us to check in early. Would definitely stay here again. Free parking lot in the back but it was pretty icy and could use salt and plowing.

We didn’t end up staying. I wasn’t aware that the rooms didn’t have their own bathroom. It was dark and kind of creepy. The man at the front desk was a delight, very friendly.

We had an enjoyable stay. Julien was very accommodating and friendly. The only comment we had, which is no reflection on Julian, was the bed and pillows were not the most comfortable. Otherwise the location was perfect and there was a lot to do in the area.

Friendly owners and simple checkin. Location is close to winter activities, a walking trail, "secret" swimming holes, and restaurants. A short drive to the Ben & Jerry's factory, Montpelier, Burlington, and the village of Stowe. Although it's not luxury accommodations like many of the other places in the area, it's definitely the most affordable for those who need a place to sleep and store their things while they get out and explore Vermont.

Excellent experience and price
I've stayed in a lot of "budget" motels, and this one is far an away the best. The owners appear to be a couple, and they are very sweet. The motel looks like it is older, but they've done a lot of work to make the rooms look cute and more modern. It is clean and has everything you'd need in a motel room, and you just really can't beat the price. The location is also excellent, in walking distance to a lot of shops, restaurants, and bars. I would definitely stay there in the future if I were passing through Stowe.

Great little spot! Perfect if you just need a place to sleep and don't plan on spending too much time in the room. Awesome location. Friendly owners who live on the site. Will definitely stay here again when in the area.

Stowe Weekend on a Whim
Stayed here on a last-minute whim solo trip to Stowe for a weekend. Room was spacious with three beds. Linens were fresh, room was clean and sufficiently supplied (microwave, cube fridge and coffee maker). Had a nice chat with one of the proprietors while he took a break from servicing other units. Not the "lap of luxury" but more than met the expectations I had for a unit at a very modest price.

My 93 year old mother-in-law who uses a walker and a wheel chair traveled with us and the room where we stayed is just a few steps where we park our car so we had no trouble and had easy access to go in and out of the room.

Great value in Stowe.
We enjoyed our stay at The Riverside Inn. We stayed in one of the motel units overlooking the river. There was a small fridge, microwave, and coffee maker. We will be back for an inexpensive stay in Stowe. There was a nice fire going in the living room of the main building and a pool table. Piecasso’s pizza and burgers is next door and very good. Great coffee shop across the street and a good sandwich shop next to it. -Malcolm & Jane

The property was perfect. I was doing the Stowe Art and Craft show and needed a place to unwind. Riverside Inn was perfect for this. I didn't need any amenities - just needed to be able to walk to the pub and have the stream in the back yard sing me to sleep. Will definitely go back.

Perfect room for a weekend away in Vermont. Arrived very late Friday night, hotel owner called and double checked on arrival time, actually left the room open for me as I wasn’t getting in until later that night. Much appreciated!

I liked that it was small, it wasnt expensive for just the weekend. It had what I needed. It wasn't fancy but that doesnt bother me, I like how it was a nice little quaint Inn. They provide bikes that you can ride on the trail. It's walking distance to food and fun. It's the second time I've stayed there and will continue to stay there whenever I go back to Stowe to visit.

The location was perfect, and the owner was lovely. I loved having the river and rec path right out back ! The internet was sketchy at times, but I was there to unplug anyways. It was very reasonably priced, spotless, and just a peaceful place to spend a few days. I would definitely go back.

Super easy process.... super nice lady greeted us. Room was... efficient.... clean and id say mostly modern although i only found 1 outlet total for the whole room.... but not a huge problem. If you need an inexpensive bed and dont require a ton of posh id definitely stay here again. If the nice lady reads this thank you.
