The Village Inn

We only live less than two hours away but desperately needed time away. The Village Inn was perfect. This time of year there were very few people around as ski season just ended. The accommodations were splendid. The inn is charming and well appointed. The people were very nice. The room and bath were both very spacious. We enjoyed a delicious breakfast across the street at The Lotti. It is just half an hour to Lake Willoughby. The lake is beautiful in all seasons including in April when it is starting to thaw.

I love East Burke and have loved staying at the Village Inn. I was sad when the previous owners, Chris and Karri decided to move on but I was glad the inn would continue to operate and I was optimistic that the warmth and hospitality that made the Village Inn my 1st choice for our frequent KT trips would still be part of the experience. However, since the Inn changed hands to the current owners ( I have only met Cameron and Mariah), the welcoming atmosphere has been replaced by a snarky, hipster vibe reflective of “30 somethings” from Austin, TX and NYC. It feels like the new owners are trying to create a boutique style destination rather than a family oriented New England Inn experience. There are still positive aspects of staying at the Inn, but the management style and vision of the new owners are not among them.

What an incredible place to sneak off too for the weekend! Amazing location - walking distance to all the food, five minute drive to skiing, beautiful river running right behind the property. The hot tub was the cleanest and most refreshing thing to plunge into at the end of the day (or in the morning because let’s be honest - anytime of day is good time to hot tub). The room we stayed in was so clean and massive - so much space for our skis and luggage. The owners are the friendliest people and are eager to make your stay the best ever. We can’t wait to come back!!

Visited East Burke Vermont to do some snowmobiling in the NEK. We had a great stay at The Village Inn. The rooms were very comfortable and large... Inn location is great as it is walking distance to restaurants and store. Walked across the street to Lotti’s for breakfast in the morning. Inn has plenty of room to park a trailer as well... access to the VAST trail system is right across the street! Hosts were great.. Mariah!
