West Mountain Inn Review

This 1810 farmhouse sits on 150 acres on the side of a mountain, offering hiking trails and easy access to the Battenkill River, where you can canoe or go tubing. In winter you can sled down a former ski slope or borrow the inn's snowshoes or cross-country skis. In summer, innkeeper Amie Emmons lines the front yard with Adirondack chairs that overlook the mountains. A kids' room is filled with games and videos; there are also resident alpacas. As the house is a patchwork of additions and gables, rooms have eccentric configurations; though they are not flawless or updated, they are relatively comfortable and have nice views and sitting areas. The on-site restaurant is good for families but not exceptional.
