Matterhorn Inn

Home away from home for the winter. Joe and Wanda are amazing hosts. Wouldn’t go anywhere else!

Love this place. lots of character with a very cool Vermont vibe… Polish food, fire and smores, a great bar. Owners are also very welcoming and made it feel like home. Had a much better time here than at the resort at Mt snow a month ago.

I’m genuinely surprised that Matterhorn doesn’t have a higher rating on Unilocal.We stayed here over 4^th of July weekend, and we’re already planning our return trip (s). Perhaps other, less-​satisfied reviewers were expecting the Hilton or Marriott and were disappointed when they got exactly what they paid for, i.e., an adorably quaint, Polish-​inspired inn atmosphere with the best hosts ever, Wanda & Joe.
We originally booked Matterhorn after purchasing a LivingSocial deal for the Green Mountain Adventure Challenge, which included a two-​night stay at your choice of several inns/​lodges. The on-​site bar and restaurant at the Matterhorn were the initial draws for me. We were able to book over the holiday weekend by paying a $ 50 fee, which was worth the extra cost, because it also upgraded us to Room 43 with a queen bed instead of two doubles. The room was clean, with A/​C and a flat-​screen, cable TV. The rear exit to a small patio and the backyard adjacent to the brook was a nice bonus.
In addition to the bar and Chopin restaurant, there is an in-​ground pool, hot tub, and tennis court. Apparently there is a game room downstairs with table games, but I can’t speak to that because we never went looking for it.
I CAN speak to the wonderful hospitality of Wanda & Joe, who were ultra-​friendly, and kept us entertained the entire time with their stories and humor, not to mention well-​fed. A nice breakfast buffet of eggs, bacon/​sausage, waffles, pancakes, fruit, etc. was provided both mornings (possibly the only downside of the entire stay was the coffee, unfortunately). On Saturday night, we opted for the July 4^th prime rib buffet at Chopin, which was $ 24.95 per person, included some traditional Polish dishes (pierogies, kielbasa), and was well worth the osso buco alone — I am still daydreaming about that osso buco. There is a small bar onsite, which is essentially open until Joe turns in for the night. Don’t be surprised if Joe offers to comp your first round of drinks! On Friday night, there was a bonfire set up, and on both nights, live music was available in the common room. Wanda and Joe are a great resource for things to do in the area, so you’ll never be bored.
Overall, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Matterhorn, and the other couples we met while we were there concurred. It’s a great value for what you get in return — warm, welcoming hosts in a cozy atmosphere that feels like you’re staying with family rather than at a hotel. We’re already considering returning before the end of summer and during ski season next winter, because Mount Snow is literally down the street.

The owners are very friendly, but that is basically the only thing going for this Inn. We stayed in a pet friendly room and would equate the quality to a $ 40 motel room. The vibe was that you were staying in someone’s home and they were doing you a favor as opposed to the warm feeling of being a paying guest. Overall, this establishment is in need of an interior cosmetic upgrading.

Great atmosphere, great food, great service. Great price. Called last minute for New Years as every other place near Mt Snow hiked up their prices. I was able to get the last available room for the standard fee plus free buffet breakfast.

Just do yourself a favor and avoid. The couple that runs this place are very nice so I feel a little guilty leaving a poor review but at the end of the day when you are dropping big dollars for your ski vacation you want all the amenities that you can get. And there are not many here. The room is clean but small (especially when you have a ton of cold weather clothes for skiing) and the bed was comfortable but thats about it. The snow mobile trail leaves from the property so that might be a bonus for you. If it was super cheap you might say but Hey! its super cheap and I just want a place to plop my big bowling ball head after a day pounding the slopes, I don’t need sissy things like food or cleanliness or ambiance. But its not cheap so you might like those other things to be included.

Above and beyond in the service category. Joe and his wife really went out of their way to provide everything they possibly could during our stay.
More details on the space to come.

Great place to stay, winter or summer. Owners were great, very friendly and helpful. Great location, close to food and mountain. Rooms were simple, but clean. I will def book here again.

I had a weekend snowboarding trip with some friends at the Matterhorn Inn which was organized by the living social gang. I really had a great time. The inn has a warm and cozy feeling. It was still decorated for the Christmas season. I mean it was decorated everywhere. There was garland on light fixtures, book cases, railing, music was playing in the background, lights in every nook and cranny. I was surprised the friendly pooch roaming the inn wasn’t wearing reindeer horns. The den had a big wood burning fireplace with large hearth to sit on or couches to curl up on. The innkeepers and staff were friendly and helpful. The accommodations were simple but clean. The beds were comfortable but after a day of sking I could have slept on a stone slab. The morning breakfast was a nicely prepared buffet with lots of choices. We also had a buffet lunch our last day. The lunch definitely hit the spot after a cold day on the slopes. The buffet had an incredibly yummy soup, a meaty spaghetti sauce, two different pastas, rolls, salad, a few cakes!, blue berry pie (it went fast… i missed out on the pie), coffee, coke, milk and water. No one complained about lunch it was all compliments.
I’d recommend this inn for its hospitality, good food, and location. Its not a five star hotel but its a refreshing getaway from the busy city.

This quaint looking Inn with its own bar and restaurant have a friendly enough staff. The problem is that the rooms were likely last remodeled in the 70’s and the paper thin walls make it impossible to get any sleep!

The worst place in mount snow the owners are rude the hotel is so run down and dirty its a shame once was a very nice place 30 yrs ago.

Stayed here once last year. Unfriendly owners didn’t seem to care about getting us situated and the rooms were small and dirty. Found a huge spider in the room, which told me the upkeep of the rooms and hotel wasn’t on the owners «to do list»
Talked to a few other people who generally the same experience. I heard things about bed bugs but I did not seem to be lucky enough to find them.
There are plenty of other choices in town. Go elsewhere and enjoy yourself.
