We wanted a romantic weekend away for some hot tubbing, dinner, and snowshoeing. The January weekend we initially scheduled ended up being a crazy 60 degrees, leading to lovely non-snow mostly mud/mush weekend. With hiking in the mountains mostly iced paths. So we asked to reschedule. Website clearly says no rescheduling, but she (a couple own/run it) allowed us to change. She was very clearly not happy about it, but said yes.
So, we (accidentally) rescheduled to Valentine's and Presidents' Day weekend - which, of course, ended up being a blizzard weekend. We were afraid we'd get stuck in Vermont, but went. Weather ended being ok - we basically followed the end of the blizzard (and snow plows) back to Boston to make it home safely.
So the Silver Service Inn is in Manchester, VT - a ski mountain town. So you have a cute downtown area full of outlet stores and wealthy white ppl in their luxury SUVs. Meant their was a good selection of food and upper scale shops.
The Inn itself is a big colonial house where you basically have a couple of the rooms as a suite. Came w a hot tub, fireplace, and was quite nice inside.
The proprietors were really great while we where there. Very friendly, hospitable, and a pleasure. Met us late (10pm) when we arrived.
Food: breakfast was great. Plentiful, a variety of options - all of which were really tasty and filling - didn't need lunch any day after. Also, she always made enough muffins that I was able to snack on those the rest of the day - and they were pretty great. Also, they had a nice array of wine, beer, and liquor that lead to a very pleasurable weekend.
We ended up being super happy we went and had a great, wonderfully romantic experience. read more
