This place was adorable and perfect. The family room was very spacious, and had two queen beds plus a very adorable bunkbed that comfortably fit my teenage children.

They have a beautiful property in the back with fire pits where we were able to start our own fire and enjoy nature. The location was great, wish we could’ve stayed more nights!

The room was very large and had a lovely view of the grounds and river. And having a grocery store across the street was a plus. I do have two suggestions. First, the room was not well lit. As I said, the room was quite spacious, but only had two small lamps so it was quite dim. There were many electrical outlets, so a couple of stand lamps would be great and not very expensive. Second, there was a lot of open space in the room, so a small table and chairs would have been great as we ate dinner in the room. I ended up carrying in a table from outside to have a place to eat and use my computer.

Spent one night here in late June. My room had a gorgeous view of the river out back and was nicely furnished with what looked like antiques (ie four poster bed). My friend and I sat outside in the evening at one of the many fire pits talking and reading. Staff was friendly and helpful. My one wish was that there was an elevator for me (older lady) to get my bag to the second floor and also I would have preferred a walk-in shower vs a tub I had to step into (same reason-my age). I must note that staff offered to take my bag up for me though!!! Convenient free parking. No restaurant or breakfast on site.

Beautiful setting. Under construction at the moment. Lovely fire pits along the river for evening gathering. Our room was newly renovated. Small but clean. But without storage: no bureau or closet or even a pole or place to hang clothes. Will be good to revisit once the restaurant is finished and hammering stops. Single Keurig in reception area for all the guests. Convenient grocery storage directly across the street. Lovely eateries and sites to visit within drive range. Interesting mix. I believe it is under new ownership and undergoing needed work before ski season.

The Shire is in a wonderful location and I would recommend for a short stay. They are in the midst of a renovation and the rooms and exterior are nice and well kept. My only issue was that the coffee bars were not well stocked all the time with the same variety and the ice machine was not well stocked as it ran out of water to produce ice during our 2 night stay. Otherwise, the place and location is wonderful.

We stayed during January. The room was drafty - as a result the heat needed to be increased so high it was uncomfortable and dry. There was only one thin blanket on each bed and only one light extra blanket though there were two beds. The room had a funny smell and there were many dead bugs in the light fixtures. In the winter, the nice outdoor areas aren’t usable and there was no common area. Room was spartan. Despite the snow, there was no mat or shoe rack in the room and so it was impossible not to drag in salt and mud on boots. People with mobility limitations would have trouble walking down the outdoor stairs to the room in the winter. Would expect more from a 3 star hotel. Probably better for a summer stay.

This property does not look like the pictures online. It was clean and had a great location, but past that, it was just an older motel that had been painted and cleaned up. There was no real lobby or check-in desk. They offered coffee in the morning, but it was broken the day we stayed. The view on the back side was pretty, but I really felt like we were in a 2 star motel. No extra amenities, and the furniture looked like it was all from a thrift store; worn out and needed updating. I was hoping for the cost to find it as beautiful as it is in the photos online. The staff was friendly and the room was clean. Note, the hotel room door opens to the outside. There was no interior hallway to our room. This made it feel a little unsafe for two women traveling alone.

We recently stayed at the Shire and out of the hotels I’ve ever stayed at this hands down was the worse !! So the view facing the river is great and only positive thing. The room we had was a king bed river view room 119 and inside looked nothing like the pictures . Mold outside and inside the room , worn out furniture, carpet is wore out , has a portable space heater for heat , door is hard to lock , when you walk in the floor is uneven but hard to see why there’s a worn out rug covering the worn out carpet , the fire pits outback now have cheap sterno inserts instead of actual wood logs like pictured , when someone is in the room above you all you here is footsteps when someone walks above you spent one night listening for hours someone’s dogs barking that was left in there room , as soon as you walk in the room you can smell strong musty smell , the lobby is about 8 ft x 10 Ft no formal lobby. If we had know any of these we would have spent the extra to stay at Woodstock resort or drive back to Stowe . Not sure how it’s considered a 3 star hotel

We arrived later in the evening so we did not actually interact with staff in person, however, the communication with staff through text worked great. We stayed in the River House and the room was very nice, clean and comfortable. We enjoyed the adirondack chairs outside of our room overlooking the river. The location was a short walk into the downtown shopping area. Virtual check-in and check-out was easy. We would definitely stay here again.

The only recommendation I would offer is to provide an option of decaf coffee and creamers at the coffee bar in the building for the late comers who might enjoy an evening coffee.

Part of the property looks like a travel lodge hotel. Half the rooms are on the parking lot. Decently maintained. However not what you expect for over $400/night.

Slightly out of main part of town but walkable if town parking is an issue. Grocery across the street is a nice benefit. Free onsite parking was never an issue. Staff is pleasant.

Definitely request a room at back of the property or in the river house. Otherwise you are overpaying.

The staff was very helpful and welcoming. The area was very safe but had limited options to do stuff. The room itself was kind of disappointing - the windows didn’t close properly, there was mold in the PTAC unit clearly visible on the vents, and the shower didn’t drain the water efficiently resulting in standing water while showering. The light in the porch didn’t turn off at night and we had really bright light coming into the room at night. The window had a see through blind so it didn’t help keep the light out. The walls were also really thin and we could clearly hear the people next door having a conversation. The property could definitely take some repairs and upgrades.
