Grey Bonnet Inn Hotel Reviews
" If you're looking for 1st class... "
Submitted By: Mr R Fraumeni
If you're looking for 1st class accommodations in the Killington area then this is probably not the place for you. For in fact this Inn is run more like a bed and breakfast then a hotel. The rooms are basic but comfortable. If noise is an issue for you then book a room on the 3rd floor as with most wooden structures the floors can be squeaky.
The proprietors, Karen and Paul Steele are very personable and go out of their way to make you feel at home without being overbearing as can be the case in some B&B’s. The included full breakfasts are very good with my personal favourites - the poached eggs and blueberry pancakes. The Inn itself is very charming and comfortable with a beautiful dining room, lounge area, pub style bar, large lounge/game room in the basement with ping pong, pocket billiards, bumper pool and a very nice library. A heated indoor pool is very inviting though the advertised hot tub was not operating at the time. The grounds are well maintained with an outdoor pool and tennis court for summertime visitors.
The Inn is located within walking distance of Gifford State Park for the hikers out there and Kent Pond for the canoers, kayakers and fishermen. Also nearby is a great golf course that has induced the Steeles to offer exceptionally valued golf packages. All major Vermont attractions are within driving distance from Rutland to Quechee and from Burlington to Westin.
Though we only dined at the on-site restaurant, Olivia's, twice during our 5 night stay, the food was very good and fairly priced considering that it can be a challenge to find decent food without a major drive in this area. Though we do not drink it appeared that there was an excellent wine list.
All in all we would stay here again as it was a good value and a true Vermont experience. For those concerned about limitations caused by a lack of patrons during your stay, by all means call them in advance and ask when are the best times to book. Our personal favourite time in Vermont is the fall as the foliage can be spectacular which can run anywhere during the last two weeks in September to the first two weeks in October.
