North Shire Lodge

Cozy lodge in lovely surroundings.

Pros: Owners were lovely and nothing was too much trouble. Room well appointed and everything ran smoothly from check in to great breakfast everyday.

Excellent. Will book with them again when Im in the area.

Pros: Nice quiet area overlooking the mountains. Great friendly proactive couple running the lodge. Homemade breakfasts were a huge plus. Lodge is constructed of individual adjoining one-room cabins which was great and added to the privacy and quietness. Manchester is a great historic town with some very good restaurants. Only 15 minute drive or so to Bromley Mtn., 30 to Stratton - all mainly via uncrowded local roadways.

Cons: It shouldn't matter at all but I would have liked to have bedside outlets to recharge electronics while still using them in bed - there were outlets just a couple feet outside that reach. Not a big deal.

Pros: The cabins were rustic and quant. Very clean and quiet. It was nostalgic with a rack of dvd's in the lobby and dvd integrated tv's in the room. It tied everything together. Obviously this isn't a posh hotel but it's a great way to spend some time with the family and take a step back from the every day hustle. The home made breakfast was a nice touch, I think the owners are doing a great job with running the place.

Cons: The only thing I didn't like was that they charged us for a third person. I went with my two young boys and it was an additional $20 or so for the third. Not a huge deal but I'm not sure what justified that expense as we had a two bed room.

Amazing stay, will stay again

Pros: The homemade breakfasts each morning exceeded expectations!!

Cons: N/A

Pros: Lovely location and friendly staff, including an adorable dog called Otis. There was a different home cooked breakfast every day which was excellent and there was tea and coffee available all day in reception. The room was very spacious and comfortable and equipped with a microwave, fridge and new TV The room has a nice little patio area with two chairs and a view of the mountains - gorgeous. There were some excellent restaurants within a few minutes drive as well - Pearl's Place and Pantry is highly recommended!

I did a lot of research in choosing the right place to stay; we were not disappointed.

Pros: Large room with cathedral ceiling, comfortable bed, strong shower, excellent homemade breakfasts in a very comfortable setting - inside the lodge or out on the deck, privacy, beautiful mountain view, large scenic, well-kept property, friendly hosts, very Vermonty with a touch of class, close to Manchester, Stratton, Bromley, Mount Equinox Skyline Drive, and the Lincoln family's Hildene estate.

Cons: Can't think of a thing!

Gorgeous place and views

Pros: The moment you drive into the property is WOW. what a location, what a view. The cabins are cozy, the owners delightful. The property is also greatly located, a close drive to a ton of good restaurants, and a lot of things to do nearby.

Cons: This is more on me than on North Shire Lodge, but I forgot to bring my earplugs and I can't sleep with any noise, and as it is the case in about 99% of all hotels and the like, the AC is loud. So don't forget your ear plugs at home if you can't sleep with noise (likely only a summer months issue).

It is a perfect place for a getaway

Pros: The location is perfect. The breakfasts were thoughtful, pretty and delish and to eat outside was lovely.

Cons: the pillows!

Charming Lodge with Warm Hospitality

Pros: The rooms had a lovely vintage charm that perfectly matched the character of the lodge, and the view from the back was beautiful. The accommodations were comfortable and inviting. The family who runs the lodge was incredibly friendly and served a delicious breakfast each morning. There’s even a pool to enjoy and a sweet dog on the property who added a fun, homey touch. I’d absolutely recommend this place to anyone visiting the area.

Pros: Friendly owners with knowledge of the area to help with a great vacation. The breakfasts are amazing.
