Valley Craft Ales

Pros: Good location near to Mt Snow, responsive host when issues come up, clean, bar downstairs with a fire is nice, pretty views over the river and v close to a few nice restaurants in the town. Not so good: Uncomfortable - quite rough sheets and hard bed, v thin walls and could be quite loud from bar downstairs and people and cars on the road outside (check if there's an event on!), no reserved guest parking so could be hard to find a nearby space early-evening (but fine all other times), Fine for a few nights stay but overall just a bit expensive for what it was.

Great value for your money - close to Mt Snow, has a great space downstairs if you're looking for pizza and beer. Rooms are small but comfortable. The only thing would be nicer if the shower was bigger.

The Valley Craft Ales is a great location. The rooms were comfortable and clean. The location is convenient, right in the town of Wilmington. It is walkable to a number of restaurants and bars. Mt. Snow is 15 minutes up the road and the Moo-ver is a great way to get there. VCA also has great beer and pizza right down stairs along with live music occasionally.

It's a lovely place the location is perfect and the brewery downstairs is great. You can walk to other bars and restaurants and there are gift shops in the town. The rooms were a perfect affordable place to stay when skiing at mount snow. The rooms are not fancy but it did exactly what we needed. The staff were great and the building has so much history. It was built in 1820s. Clean too

We have stayed here several times when itbwas the Red Mill Inn. The owners were charming and would tell stories of the town and the history of the building. Now, there is a bar and pizzaria which is great, but there is no one to check you in or out. It is all done digitally. The fireplace is not lit. The whole Inn sode of the lobby looks deserted and filled with clutter. We only knew where to go because we had been there before. The hominess has left with the old owners. They were missed and we will probably not stay again. Also, all of the small televisions had been removed so there was literally nothing in the room but a bed, an empty dresser, and a nightstand.

Our stay was a quick weekend trip. Room was small and clean ok for a quick stay. The bar down stairs was great for a quick bite. Had no issues with room for staff. Actually booking again for this weekend.

Comfortable, convenient and a architectural historic gem! We stayed for Labor Day weekend for a really wonderful weekend. The Inn is a historic property with old charm, the family room with the queen and two twin beds was the perfect size for 3 adults, nice bathroom and great views of the river! This is a great casual, convenient and comfortable property. The one concern was the windows didn’t have screens and it had no fan (a warm weekend but luckily a breeze).

It was weird staying in a place where no one was there. Valley Craft Ales was closed for a music festival but I was given the access code so I could get in but it was strange being the only guest in an empty building for the first night. Otherwise it was fine. Air conditioned, close to all the shops and quiet. I loved the setting.

I stayed here for a much needed weekend away. Therefore, the 2-night minimum policy worked in my favor. I appreciated this policy to eliminate single overnight stays driven by the effects of the brewery on the main floor. The room was quintessentially Vermont, IMHO. No TV, but the rooms in the back of the building overlook the river. The room was furnished with eclectic antiques and a new, comfortable bed. Bedding was clean and new, with a rustic chic vibe. Bathroom was a bit dated, but clean and functional. During my stay, some rooms at the end of the hall were undergoing renovation. I did not hear any construction noise during my 2 night stay. This section of the hall was concealed by a curtain, thereby eliminating and perception of clutter. The lobby area is not staffed. The check-in process is smooth, with codes sent to me on the day of check-in for the front door and my room door. The lobby area is large and spacious with a variety of rustic-chic seating and great views of the river. This space is also occasionally used for events hosted by the brewery. Speaking of the brewery, the a**osphere is fantastically local, with many Cheers-style "Norm!" moments. Clearly many people in the area enjoy this spot as much as the tourists. Service was exceptional and friendly. The beer selection was fantastic and they even had an impressive wine selection (for a brew-pub). The homemade pizzas were above-and-beyond good! I did not intend to eat here both nights - but I did! 10/10
