I'll find a reason to go back here. If it were closer to a mountain, I'd suggest a family winter getaway ski trip and staying in the Fork Store across the road. Which is a phenomenal house for weekly and vacation renting.

We arrived just in time to catch the sunset from the patio as well as some deers. We stayed in the Mountain View Queen that even though the bathroom is not inside the room itself, we still had a private bath right next door.

Breakfast started with a yogurt parfait, followed by French Toast and bacon with delicious local Morse Farm syrup that I loved so much, I went to pick up some to bring home. After just one night, I already felt at home that before leaving, I checked out the other two options and fell in love with the Mountain View King for next time.

The owner apologized a few hours before our arrival for some boxes that were on the outside porch due to renovations. This did not begin to prepare us for the state of the home. Stuff was all over the hallways, our room was incredibly dusty, windows were filthy, and there were ladybugs all over. The owner tried telling us they are all over VT inns at this time of year. This is simply not the case. To pay $442 for one night was highway robbery. If we could have found another place to stay on short notice, we would have. There wasn't even a key to lock our room. We left as soon as possible before breakfast.

Kids running uncontrolled in and out. A couple of people had dogs and they were off leash outside. It simply wasn't what we had in mind for a B&B. Masks were enforced and we complied. Our Room was clean but my husband called it a "bed in the bathroom" because the sink and shower were exposed - no doors - one on the left and the other on the right with a bed in middle. Only the toilet was behind a door - whew! Oh, and the floor is painted concrete (with lots of repainting needed) with just a small area rug. Towels were a bit rough and toiletries left a bit to be desired. We wanted a nice cross breeze (being a corner bedroom) but only one window had a screen in it so we opened it. The TV had zero reception and per the host, was only there for viewing DVDs. They did provide a selection of DVDs and we watched 2 movies without difficulty. I think they should upgrade the TVs or advertise no TV. Internet was fine. The grounds are beautiful being on the CT River. We walked the neighborhood. It was lovely. The host (no hostess) was pleasant. However, given all of the above, likely we will not return to this B&B.

Upon driving up, we were immediately greeted by Wolf, who walked us to the door. Actually, I might be misremembering the dog's name, but it was a nice welcome. John and Donna are very welcoming, and Donna's breakfasts were delicious. When we sat down for breakfast in the morning, John would tell us the hot breakfast menu for the day, and serve us. We loved being able to sit outside and enjoy a lovely fresh breakfast cooked by Donna. John would entertain us with stories about bears and their dogs. Their DVD library was pretty extensive, and I think they have ambient floor heating which was nice. If you're particular about your toiletries, I would recommend bringing your own shampoo, conditioner, body wash, and soap. Their showers have a dispenser for all purpose shampoo and body wash. We wanted to go outside, and John gave us a Xerox copy of a hand drawn map for a easy walk nearby. Both John and Donna made sure that we were prepared for the outsides, whether it was bug spray or lending us umbrellas for the rain. At the end of our stay, Donna gave us one of their cute gift baskets which is part of their Facebook promotion. My friends enjoyed the stay at Breakfast on the Connecticut so much, they considered themselves B&B converts.

First, we had the nicest, most helpful server I can imagine. And sitting outdoors on the restaurant's porch is absolutely lovely. We could have sat there all night, except I needed to go home to have dinner (more about that later). Though very few tables were occupied, the food took a long time to arrive. Two of our orders arrived with errors, and our very nice server brought the right things. My three companions liked their main dishes, though one main dish arrived barely lukewarm and presented unappealingly (we wouldn't notice presentation unless it was really good or just plain off). Two of the delicious-sounding veggie side dishes were just barely okay. The mashed potatoes were good, but the corn was tough and starchy, and the Brussels sprouts were too oily, tough, and bland, and the cheese on them didn't work. Many menu items were unavailable, including the only vegan main dish. I'm vegan. I asked our server, as I often do in advance or in the moment, at restaurants where nothing fully vegan is on the menu: Would the kitchen please make me anything at all with vegetables? I told them that I love all vegetables, beans, nuts, grains, whatever, and I would be grateful for whatever they made. She came back and said that the kitchen said no, the only vegan item was the plain salad on the menu. My salad was expensive. It was just okay-tasting; I did like the roasted cherry tomatoes. The dressing contained a shocking amount of sugar. I don't much care about bread, and I rarely eat it at restaurants. But I asked if I could have a piece of bread with my salad so I wasn't grinding with hunger. Our server brought one slice of wheat bread that was tasteless and stale. I ate dinner when I got home. There are way more GF items on the menu than vegan ones, so even if they run out of stuff, gluten-intolerant folks will probably find something to eat. We were disappointed in the unaccommodating and slow kitchen and the quality of the expensive food. None of us would return unless we heard something had changed.

I agreed to a friend's proposal to split a room at an local Airbnb that's near Lake Morley, Vermont…read moreon May 2022. Safe to say that I didn't get enough sleep that night during my stay. I somehow managed to finish the marathon the next morning running laps around Lake Morley without much sleep. My friend booked the Silver Maple Lodge and cottages here in Fairlee, Vermont. It was a quaint home that's quite off the beat path. It felt homely, since it was a home that's converted to an Airbnb for guests and travelers. It felt like I was in a vintage antique home where you can peak into a room and that was what it looked like in the early 19th century. It wasn't like that in reality but it surely felt like it! My main problem was the beds. We were assigned the room with two beds that had a bathroom with tub in the corner of the house. I remember getting up to use it at least 4 times during the middle of the night and creeping back to the bed to try to sleep. The problem with the bed is that it was literally too small for me. If I rolled too far to the left or right, even a half a turn, I would have risked rolling off the bed and onto the wood floor. It was that small. It was comical when I look back on the experience but annoying as hell when I just wanted to get enough sleep to be fresh enough to endure 26.2 miles the next morning. Needless to say that wasn't the case, but managed to get enough sanity to ease myself thru and thought of that bed that wasn't comfortable at all. I don't mean to be mean, but that's my experience here at the Silver Maple lodge and cottages. While the prices maybe substantially cheaper than that of a hotel in the local area, I'd likely go with the hotel for a better night's stay. Airbnb's are great, just the bed here only. Wish I could get those 4 hours back instead of trying to make sure I don't roll off the bed in the middle of the night. The overall experience here at the Silver Maple lodge and cottages was severely mixed. On one hand, it was a good deal to split with a friend on the room rate on two bed unit in the home. The other hand, obviously was my quality of sleep - or lack thereof, during my stay here at the Silver Maple Lodge and Cottages. The home is quite nice though. It has everything you could possible need, while the guest rooms were decidedly upstairs. My friend and I bumped into other mutual friends who were staying the night there too, which was nice. My friend spent the evening having dinner in the dining area of the Airbnb, pizza and French fries while we waited out the storm to clear. Not sure if there was maid service, but after we left our leftover pizza there, it was taken care of after we gotten back from the nearby Dollar General store down the road. The service here was okay, although the reservation was under my friend's name. I was not there when he checked in. It was neat to see the 21st century improvements made on the house, since this house was aging and modern methods of upkeep was necessary as the years go by. Although my experience was lacking, along with my sleep and sanity that night, I managed to give all my gusto and finished the marathon the next morning around Lake Morley. Call it sheer will or just the wanting to succeed, the lack of sleep beforehand weighed heavily on me. Will I swear off Airbnb's completely? Not necessarily. Just depends I guess. Not to sound mean but never again here. But, if you enjoy vintage rustic Airbnb that's off the beaten path in southeast Vermont, consider coming to this hidden gem. While my experience is individual, you'll be surprised at how much the prices are compared to hotels and other accommodations in the local area. The Silver Maple Lodge and Cottages is located at 520 S US-5 in Fairlee, Vermont. They accept major credit cards when booking your reservation online, like majority of the lodging industry is these days. As far as parking goes, they have a small but sizable amount of parking slots for those who decide to stay on the property overnight. I'm pretty sure that Fairlee doesn't have a public transportation system, so best bet would be to rent a car and get here. Amtrak or greyhound May come close enough, but you'd need a rental car. Uber and Lyft operate in the area, but can be sparse when you need one on demand. The closest commercial airport would be the Manchester Boston regional airport (MHT) or the Portland Jetport in Maine (PWM). Still a good amount of driving distance to get across state lines into Vermont. Whichever the road of life takes you, you can consider this Airbnb for your stay in southeast Vermont. While the antique house is quaint and supporting the local business is paramount, my quality of sleep that night was non existent. Take this what you will. The beds are small but might fit your style. Wasn't the case with me. 3.0 stars for the overall experience. 4.0 stars for the price and location. 2.0 for the room / bedding. 4.0 stars for the limited service. Support local! C
