Hyde Away Inn

We stayed in M3 room over the Chris**as weekend. At $190/night the place is terribly overpriced for what you get. Hotel is very dated and seems more of a business on the side than anything else. If you are thinking of staying there – DON’T. Just to give you an idea of the state of the hotel: - Door knob from the bathroom door just fall off the first time we touched it. - Thermostat was broken. Room temperature did not align with the settings on it. After a few attempts we realized that setting the dial to 60F gives ~75F indoor temperature. - Hot water was extremely unreliable. I tried showering on two days around 8-9 PM and on both days the water temperature was fluctuating back-and-forth from ice cold to boiling hot without turning the knob. So, I had to tweak the know all the time and jumping out of the water when it was getting too cold or too hot. On the second day I also was “lucky” enough to see the water turn the color of strong coffee while I was starting to shower. That was quite disgusting. I have never seen that before in a hotel. - Sound-proofing was non-existent. Room that we stayed in was attached to the main tavern building and we could hear everything that was happening inside the tavern from our room. Tavern was open until 10 PM (later on some days) and the doors keep banging well past that. Good luck trying to get some sleep. On top of those major items, there were a few minor ones. Pillows on the bed were very thin and uncomfortable. If you are a side-sleeper, your neck would hurt after sleeping on them. Our room has also never been cleaned even though we stayed for two nights. Hotel also offered free breakfast. And the food, unlike the hotel itself, was good. The problem was more on the side of timing. Breakfast starts at 7:30 AM and the fastest we could be done (between ordering, waiting for food, and eating) was 8:10 AM. Lifts open at 8, so the breakfast is definitely not geared towards the skiers. Please avoid this BnB at all costs. You will not be able to get good sleep or shower. At least if you are staying in any rooms directly attached to the main tavern building (which is most of the rooms). It is absolutely not worth the money and you would be better off staying anywhere else.

Jean was a marvelous hostess of this cozy quaint inn. Excellent communicator and very hospitable. Even did guests laundry upon request though we used laundromat 5 min down the road. Inn located about 5-10 min outside of town. Room was cozy and clean. Rates were reasonable in comparison to area lodging.

We recently ate at the restaurant and I normally don’t write reviews, especially for local businesses, but we were seated and not approached once for 35 minutes. No wait staff came over or even looked in our direction, not even to bring us waters or say hello/welcome. We even asked the hostess to send someone over, and we had to ask again after 10 minutes because we still hadn’t been approached. When a server finally came over, she did not even mention how long we had been waiting. The food was good but we didn’t even get one of the drinks we ordered and another drink was different than what was described on the menu. The vibe was fun but this did not make up for the lack of hospitality. We were there for over two hours, and not because we wanted to be. Overall I’ve never had to put up with this poor service, and I won’t be returning to Hyde Away Inn Restaurant.

Charming little BnB, with a great restaurant. Make sure you pay attention when booking your room. I accidentally booked a double bed, which made it difficult for my wife and I but that’s on me. The room was tiny and the bathroom was very basic. We had to put things under the bed and we were still stepping on our stuff. The staff was friendly and accommodated as best I could.

This was a surprising find. The owner was who took care of us. Very friendly, helpful, just awsome. Rooms were comfortable and spacious. Breakfast was made to order and delicious. No complaints. Would gladly stay again.

house was very spacious was very quiet country setting foliage was very beautiful staff was great restarunt had great food

We chose the Hyde Away because it seemed like a small, friendly place that would really cater to their guests. What we found is that they seemed uninterested in providing hospitality to us. The room was clean enough but the condition of the bathroom was in need of improvement. No housekeeping during our stay. Breakfast was included. The staff seemed inconvenienced to prepare eggs and they were overcooked. Dinner was very good but very rushed. Our meals came before we finished our appetizer. Disappointing experience.

Had specifically gone to Waitsfield to hike and bike. Hyde Away Inn was clean, simple and convenient. The hotel was extremely accommodating to a special request I had and the staff was really helpful and good. It was a great Fall getaway.

The property is old and not well maintained. The rooms are very small and not very clean. The complementary breakfast consisted of coffee and prepackaged pastry. Very expensive for what is provided! I would not recommend this property for travelers.
