I will not order any food there again. there was 5 of us, big bill. The waitress was nice, do not think she had waitressed for long. 2 of out of the 5 have worked in multiple restaurants as cooks and waitresses. I would not send out plates that looked that bad, major grease in all fried foods! Disgusting. still paid $65

I walked into an empty restaurant and an unattended cash register area and waited 10 minutes for some customer service. A woman in in a sweatshirt, who was walking behind the bar and igrored me the whole time, turned out to be a waitress? I figured that out because she had an argument with another employee about a stolen tip. As it turned out, the food was as bad as the service. I will not be back. Apathetic staff, zero customer service skills...the worst!

This was my first time XC-skiing and I am hooked, but sadly live in FL and will only get to go so…read moreoften. I have alpine skied many times and thought other than not going down hills and using a lift how much different can this be!? I thought why do I need to spend money on lessons? Those of you who have done this before are probably like, yup that guy is naive...let's just say I was so glad I did the lessons. Speaking of lessons our instruction was phenomenal. He made it so easy for us to understand and build on the basics. He has been XC-skiing professionally and recreationally for 60 years. I hope I am in as good as shape and able to do what he was doing then I am 70. Very thankful for his time and the lessons are well worth it. We went on the first day of the season (we were only in town a limited time), some snow had been blown in and the snowfall that had occurred days prior was icy. All of the trails were not open either, which ended up being perfectly fine as we had plenty of fun learning how to stay in the carved our tracks and keep our balance. I surprising did not fall, but came awfully close. 10/10 would recommend, even if you have never done many snow sports. It is a workout but exhilarating!

Rikert is one of the best cross country ski options in the area!!…read more The area is located a little to the south of the main Middlebury campus area. You take 125 down and if you start seeing a lot of mustard yellow homes flanking either side of the road, then you have reached the right place. They have miles and miles of beautifully groomed trails and they also can make man-made snow - which is useful early in the season. You really feel right in the middle of the Green Mts! In terms of service, the staff is incredibly warm and helpful. In the entrance way, they even offer a little soup and cocoa station. The soups are always delicious ... and most importantly warm. They also have strong vegetarian options, which is considerate. I also saw folks snow biking around ... which looks like a blast!

This is a gorgeous waterfall and swimming hole about a 45 minute drive from Burlington, VT! My…read morewife, two teenage sons, mini-poodle, and I came here in July 2024 on a hot summer day to cool off for an hour. Lots of pluses. First, it has a wide receiving pool area that is conducive to large groups and is more kid-friendly than other swimming holes (such as Warren Falls). Second, parking is generally available on the side of the road above the falls. You can descend along the second pathway down which is less steep than the first pathway. Third, dogs with a leash are allowed in the area. Would strongly recommend bringing water shoes (river shoes) if you don't like the pain of multiple rocks on your bare feet. Also, it tends to be a bit more quiet from 3pm-4pm, but got crowded when we departed at 5pm. Overall, this is a great place to experience a swimming hole in Vermont - especially if you are staying nearby in Burlington, VT.

This is an amazing place to see sweeping views of the beautiful mountains and Lake Champlain. I imagine it would also be worth checking out at sunset.
