Willoughvale Inn

This was our second time staying at the Willoughvale Inn, and it didn’t disappoint! The staff were very accommodating and gracious, and of course, the location at Lake Willoughby is superb! A very relaxing way to celebrate our anniversary! The view from our Lupine Room was full-on lake and mountains, the bed was extremely comfortable with luxurious linens. And the added surprise of a complete continental breakfast was very much welcome. Well worth the trip from North Carolina to the Northeast Kingdom. Thank you, Willoughvale!

The WilloughVale Inn and Cottages were incredible. Our family stayed in three cottages, The Robert Frost, The Songadeewin and The Twilight Cottage. Having traveled from NJ, we took full advantage of the cabins having all plates, silverware, pots and pans and appliances necessary. Our family used the kayaks, canoes, fire pit, and grounds throughout our stay. The staff was so friendly and accommodating. We have NO suggestions to improve our stay and highly recommend Willoughvale to anyone looking for a beautiful scenic place to relax and have fun. Thank you Willoughvale - we WILL be back!

The Inn is quite nice and the person at the front desk friendly and helpful. I have no complaints about the place itself. But our stay was disappointing nonetheless for two reasons. First, though we were warned that the Inn had decided to close it’s restaurant for the season (we chose WilloughVale in part because it had a restaurant on site), we weren’t able to make other lodging arrangements at that point. Unfortunately, we assumed that it would be easy to find alternatives places to eat close by. It wasn’t. When we arrived Tuesday afternoon we were given a list of restaurants in the area, some 20-30 minutes drive each way, with a note that many were closed on Tuesday - our day at the Inn. To complicate matters, there is no cell phone reception (something else were weren’t made aware of), that made it impossible to contact restaurants to confirm if they were open. And since the front desk closed at 5PM, we had no one to consult with. This turned out to matter. After having driven to a market we found that closed to. We ended up having lunch and dinner at a pizza place 20 minutes away, which while quite pleasant was not what we had imagined. We suggest the proprietor do a better job of communicating with guests. We would have made different choices if he/she had.
