No heat overnight when the outside temperature was in the 30s. We needed to get blankets from the car to stay warm. 54 degrees in the room. No hot water for showers in the morning. Website didn't say anything about live music, but they didn't mention that the locals us the facility for a jam session. 6 guitars and 3 vocalists directly under our room. No staff or manager to respond about heat and music. Emails, texts and voicemail that are supposed to be monitored 24/7 received no response. We've stayed their before and never impressed, but the location is good. After this stay, never again. The absentee owners are pathetic.

Overall, I may stay here again but it won’t necessarily be my first choice. The inn is in a small town with several restaurants (with vegan options, though none onsite at the bar restaurant downstairs). I appreciated that the inn description kept mentioning it was upstairs to the bar and band space. They provided earplugs. But it wasn’t the band I had to content with but the neighboring rooms watching football and their dog barking every time a play was made. After the game ended, everything went quiet though, and I slept through the night. I wish the window had screens so I could have left it open to hear the River rushing. The room was old but clean and comfortable. I am grateful for another guest who posted photos of the carpeted staircase you have to climb to get to the inn because I missed the one tiny sign inside pointing to the inn and wouldn’t have known where to go (the inn is unstaffed, tho they text you lock info and are responsive that way).

Very clean and comfortable room with an excellent view of the stream and the trees outside. No TV in the room; perfect for anyone looking for a night away. The walls are thin so if you are sensitive to noise I would not recommend as I could clearly hear my neighbor snoring, however ear plugs are provided in the room should you need them. I would stay here again should I be in the area.

There seemed to be a thermostat for AC but no air. Mainly the toilet didn’t work. We had to turn off the water to keep it from running all night and remove the tank cover to flush manually.

This is a unique stay. I really enjoyed it and would go back. Pictures are accurate. Bare bones, but great price. LOVED the town and area. Comfy bed. Small, but super clean hot water shower. Live music on the weekend - enjoy it!! - done fairly early. No big deal.

Not Worth It!!

Was expecting to have AC and the room does not come with AC even though there’s a thermostat in the room. Bed was AS HARD AS A ROCK! Regardless I slept well though my boyfriend did not. Room was very tiny. Looked bigger in the images I viewed of the room. Room DOES NOT have cups, utensils, microwave, mini fridge NOT EVEN A TV or mini fan because there’s no AC. Overall, if you’re just looking for a place where you’ll be in the room to just basically sleep then it might be for you. We will not re-book here. Oh and there’s no front desk or a sole around to ask for any extra pillows, towels, etc.

After walking around the quaint town of Wilmington, we couldn't decide where to go for dinner. We went to the bar to taste test the beer and ended up ordering a pizza. The bartender gave us ice to take upstairs. The building is an older building and has many eccentricities. We loved staying here and will stay again if in the neighborhood.

Valley Craft Ales is an Old Mill turned into a Restaurant and Lodging location. It is conveniently located in downtown Wilmington, VT. There is no receptionist so you have to let yourself in with a computer code. You may find yourself approached by two aggressively barking midsize dogs, if you arrive after hours. If you do, don't panic, their barks are bigger than their bites. The rooms are comfortable,clean, quiet and pest free. There is a terrific River out back that can be seen and heard, from your window which is calmingp. You can even swim in it. Great ventilation. On the downside, we had sink faucet problems which were repaired after a few days.. We were told we would be refunded for those. .There is sn unswept rocky front stairway and a building exterior badly in need of some carpentry repair and a fresh coat of red paint. They have, on some evenings, guitar entertainment but it's low and nice background music in the room. They stop at 9:00 pm to not keep Lodgers up. It can be a super comfortable stay if they just fix some of the glitches. The need stairway Masonry to create a smooth sidewalk to the back River. The place has a LOT of promise. The dogs need a backyard. The Management was warm and friendly. Decent people . #####

i never got to even stay there because they never sent me the damn "passcode" to get in my room... if i had known about the whole "virtual thing" before i even made the reservation then i wouldn't have booked the reservation in the first place... i don't want to drive 4 hours to get there to find out that no one there knows the information needed to get me in my room... i waited until 3 PM which is way later than i wanted to just to see if they would respond to me giving me the door passcode,,, so they text it way after 3 and i had already forfeited the entire trip because i would be rushing at that point and speeding... not worth it.. ruins the whole happy vibe of a trip in the first place... they should have given me what i needed at the time that they billed me!!! so i lost 200$ and overall...lesson learned
