Valley craft is a great time. Hotel is nice. Pizza and brewery downstairs is excellent. They do have bands occasionally which can be loud so be aware.

I knew this place as the Red Mill Inn. It's familiar, price was great, and it was quiet. I'll have to remember Monday nites are quiet

Very nice and cute. Really wish it was quieter though, the neighbor was so loud in the morning and woke us up at 7am. They did have a note that tells people that it’ll be loud, so that’s good at least!

This is my second time staying here. This experience was definitely better than the last as I knew exactly what to expect in regards to noise, the band, parking and crowds. If you know what to expect it is the perfect place. It is not a place to stay if you want good sleep. But if you want great pizza and music, it is perfect if you’re trying to ski on a budget. Come prepared with noise cancelling headphones.

VCA solo stay
The room was just as expected, basic, clean and comfortable for a solo stay. The noise level SAT night was quite loud due to the band performing downstairs. A TV in the room would be great for relaxing during down times. WiFi was good and bathroom was exceptionally clean and even had toiletries. Only thing lacking was a spare roll of bath tissue.

Great, clean room close to Mt Snow
We love this spot! Yes, it’s an older building with history and the rooms are small, but it’s a great stay! Close to the mountain, always clean and the rooms don’t smell weird like some. The shower stall is small but water is hot! We have stayed in a few rooms and the mattresses are very hard but maybe we are just used to softer ones. You have your own thermostat and it’s not those wall units. The restaurant/bar downstairs is great. The beer is great and so is their pizza. Friendly staff also! If you are high maintenance this place may not be for you, but we love it.

Great local spot!
Room was nice and clean, hot water was HOT, nice views of the creek, town right around the corner and 15 mins to Mount Snow. We had a great time. The pizza and bar/beer beneath the rooms was great. I was impressed with their beer. The staff were super friendly. The rooms are small(older historic building which was very nice) and have no tv/fridge/microwave so just keep that in mind if you need those things. The noise complaints on some reviews seem irrational. It’s an older building and above a bar/band scene some nights. Not sure what they expect. We had a great stay and will be returning!

Our third time staying here. It’s a fair room with all you need but no luxuries. Close to Mt Snow (20min) and restaurants (walking). The staff is responsive via text but there’s no traditional front desk. Downside is the noise from other rooms or downstairs (pizza place/bar) when they have an event or something. As an improvement, it’d be great to have a fridge upstairs for guests.

Good Stay
The location was great, just 15 minutes from Mount Snow and it’s right in Wilmington so close to shops and restaurants.
The room was basic but clean, we had the family room with two single beds and one queen. The single beds seemed comfortable but the queen bed was VERY firm.
Also, the room was directly above the stage. And the music performance on Saturday went until 11pm instead of 10 as advertised. The music was really loud, so I would not recommend this for a family with young kids or people who want to go to bed early.
It was the cheapest place we could find though, so I would still stay again.
