if you don't mind blowing a lot of cash

We went to the Long Trail Inn on Thursday night, it cost $79 plus tax which included 2 large and very good breakfasts in a beautiful dining room. (plus tips)
The place whole was beautiful, also bought their t-shirt which cost another $15.

Also the late night menu in the bar is not as expensive as the dinning room menu. Same things cost less.

Awesome. Thanks for sharing Panzer. Sounds like you had a great time.

Thanx Panzer for injecting some common sense to this thread.

The Inn at Long Trail is not a "beer joint on a highway." It is, instead, a very comfortable, and very friendly country inn that has been in business for decades, and has been extraordinarily welcoming to hikers, skiiers,and other outdoorspeople. Oh, yes, it also sells beer in its wonderful tap room, one of the nicest places to be found on or near the Trail.

Honestly, I don't know if some of the comments here are just intentionally mean-spirited, or are just plain ignorant.

Some of both, I suspect.

Maybe it has something to do with the fact that it's location is across the street from Killington & Pico, where a season pass for skiing will run you a thousand dollars or so.

Skiers and downhill mountain bikers tend to have some money to throw around on their vacations; the "beer joint along a highway" you mention has rooms available that go for $600-$900 and change on certain weekends.

That they're so cool to hikers is pretty remarkable. I imagine that's why Jack says "considering its location."

Hiker season isn't all that expensive if you have a few to share the room.

On saturday night while the band "Gelatin Offramp" was playing, this young man got down on one knee and proposed to this lucky girl. He put a ring on her finger while everyone watched. We don't know who he is. This picture was taken just seconds later.

You're right. I stayed there when I was hiking and shared the double room with the shared bathroom and it was quite reasonable. But that's during hiker season, and I suspect it's mainly because they're friendly to hikers.

You can check out their rates to see what they charge during the height of skiing season on their website.

Leif and Lady also got engaged. It was on the trail just south of Rutland, so don't worry single guys, Rutland is still safe.
