Castle Hill Resort and Spa

"From a venue-only perspective, the Castle is beautiful. Such a great place to stay if you are in the area. Great food and rooms! From a wedding perspective, it doesn't get any better. I would recommend Castle Hill to anyone who asked me about wedding venues. Lisa Cormier was amazing throughout the entire process -- they have a phenomenal system that makes for a perfect day. Lisa and her team were willing to help us out with whatever we needed. Whether it was changes to chairs, tweaks to the ceremony setup, flower adjustments -- they were amazing. We did both our ceremony and reception at Castle Hill and they nailed both of them. So organized, efficient and well done. Lisa has an answer to every question you may have and knows the venue like the back of her hand. Leading up to the wedding, she was also amazing, helping us work through food questions and changes, room assignments, and really any logistical matter. She and her staff know the area and its vendors extremely well. Her recommendations and help with others we were working with made our lives all the more easier. If there was a question or topic we were forgetting, Lisa made sure we didn't. Thanks to her we never felt overwhelmed or nervous. Most importantly, the area took on historic flooding less than one week before our wedding -- Lisa was communicative and helpful through it all. She never made a rash decision or jumped to any conclusions during the process. We took it one day at a time together and we will be forever grateful for the way she handled our event in the midst of a serious weather event taking place. When they expected rain just a day or two before the wedding once again, the Castle Hill team hand dug a trench around the reception tent to drain water in case they experienced further flooding!!! I'm not sure how many venues would have worked with us to make the event run as planned, let alone dig a trench to help the tent stay dry, but Castle Hill did so without us even requesting it. They truly went above and beyond for us in every regard. Lisa and her team are absolutely amazing and I am so thankful that we had both our wedding ceremony and reception here. If you are looking to get married at a beautiful venue with incredible people helping you every step of the way, Castle Hill should be at the top of your list. There is no one better as far as we are concerned!"

"When we arrived, the front desk staff were very kind and welcoming. We were told we could eat at the restaurant right off the lobby so we planned to eat dinner there. When we arrived at the restaurant 20 mins later, they told us we could not eat there unless we had made prior reservations due to a wedding they had next door. The lady told us “we have to prioritize the wedding of 200 people”. I asked where we should eat and the lady shrugged. One of the waiters, who was very kind apologized and recommended the bar . They had some dishes from their restaurant menu. We were pretty irritated because we were both exhausted and the lady was very rude to us. We watched 20+ people get turned away from eating dinner due to this wedding. I completely understand that they need to focus on a wedding and the food for the wedding, however we should’ve been told about this when we arrived that the restaurant wasn’t available unless we had already made a reservation. The resort is very nice and there was a lot of fun things you can do there, but some of the staff were quite unkind."

Echo Lake Inn

"Nestled deep in the dense forests of Vermonts green mountains and worlds away from bustling Main streets, packed strip malls and summer highway traffic is Echo Lake Inn, an ode to classic Rockwellian New England beauty with enough of a sense of modernity to appeal to almost anybody. The Inn built in the waning days of the 18th century is full of comfortable areas to relax and celebrate your vacation. A small but fully stocked bar with local beers and wines is adorned with odes to Vermonts history specifically President Calvin Coolidge who is one of the many historical figures who’ve spent time at the Inn throughout the years. The deep cushioned leather chairs and couches offer premium relaxation to enjoy a nightcap to put an exclamation point on a fantastic day. The cavernous basement has, what was during our stay a non functional bar area full of local beer taps not in use. There is a dart board, pool table and an endless supply of board/ card games to relax and waste the day away with. The large and charmingly forward sloped wooden farmers porch is a great place to enjoy your morning coffee overlooking the thick forest and nearby black brook that flows into the pristine reflective echo lake for which the Inn is named If wasting away the day playing games or taking in the scenery isn’t your speed then there is plenty of hiking trails, golf, paddle board and kayaking right by the Inn. And of course during the winter months the Inn is in the shadow of Okemo mountain, one of Vermonts premier ski resorts. Modern amenities include a hot tub in a nearby small pool house that comfortably fits four to six, and sits adjacent to a tennis/pickleball court As for my personal experience I showed up on a Friday afternoon with a group of nine for a ****** Mystery experience. This event brought about 60 visitors to the inn and despite the onslaught of seemingly never needing guest arrivals the staff didn’t miss a beat along the way. Never once did we feel the staff was inattentive or that the experience wasn’t enjoyable despite the ever increasing crowd. During this time of year (early June) a lot of the downtown area is shut down or on limited and restricted hours so the Inn became our sanctuary. All of our needs were at worst met, and far often exceeded. John, the Inn owner and his staff were absolutely amazing. Simply singing the praises of the staff on a review board would not do them the justice they deserve. I’d advise anybody who makes this area of the Green Mountains a destination to come to the Echo Lake Inn. It was old world hospitality and charm that kept everybody happy and made just another weekend into an unforgettable experience that myself and my friends will treasure. I would be remiss if I didn’t mention the Inns most popular employee the lovable and accommodating She Ra. A sweetheart of a dog that makes all guests feel at home."
