I've passed the Sylvanus Lodge many times over the years but never had a reason to stay there. I always thought it was expensive and I was very pleasantly surprised when I finally checked the rates and saw how affordable it was. I was visiting a friend and needed a place to stay so I decided to give it a... More

I just had to compose these thoughts of my heart for the dream that was to be had at the mystical, lovely and awe inspiring Silvanus Lodge. Last month our family had a small get-together in upstate New York and we had a lovely time. As soon as I had checked in, I knew right away that spirits long past... More

Steele was awesome- he stayed up late to let us in and then gave us discount passes for Catamount. The room (we stayed in the studio apartment) was adorable and a great size for us three adults, and the location could not have been more convenient. We also loved the diner Steele recommended just down the block. My only suggestion:... More

My friend and I stayed at Silvanus with our two 12 year old boys this past Saturday night. We were looking for an inexpensive, clean place to lay our heads for the night so we could enjoy a full day of skiing and snowboarding at Catamount the following day (just 2 miles away). This place was exactly what we were... More

I usually don't write reviews but the degree to which i am frustrated with how i was treated by this place certainly called for a warning to others. First off i would like to point out that i have not stayed at this place, We would have liked to, had our reservation not been canceled due to "unreasonable needs"... which... More

I am sorry that you did not have a positive experience with the motel. We canceled the reservation after speaking with you because it was clear that we would not be able to deliver the romantic weekend you were seeking. We will not mislead a guest just to make an extra buck. If I remember correctly, you said that you... More

We have always loved the area, and most often stayed at local NY State cabins. Silvanus Lodge is a greater value, so conveniently located and nostalgic of my childhood family roadtrip stays across the US We were a Dad and two boys on a CT midweek ski trip and needed a central location, and have long known about the lodge....

When you first walk in the lobby of the Silvanus, you immediately feel comfortable. The owner is very welcoming and attentive. The rooms are clean and nicely decorated. The location couldn't be more perfect. Just down the road from the Berkshires.

Based on favorable reviews here, we stayed two nights here and enjoyed it tremendously. We were greeted by the very friendly owner Theo who explained to us all the possible things to do with some recommendations for us specifically. His recommendations were dead on! There are 2 brochures and 2 maps that have all the info about the area. Because... More

What a lovely surprise to hear from you, and with this really great review. I remember you well as you were on your way to Buffalo. I had recommended that you stop to see the Frank Lloyd Wright - Martin home. I hope you were able to see it. It is one of my favorites... that with the falls. And... More

I love this homely, understated lodge so much I almost don't want to tell anyone else about it. I've been coming up here from Brooklyn every other weekend for most of the summer. It's peaceful, the pool is beautiful, the proprietor is very down-to-earth, and the rooms are refreshingly affordable. Just keep it to yourself, ok ;)

Okay, I'll freely admit I muscled this review out of this particular guest. He's a marketing expert, and he is great. I want lots more guests like himself and his friends. So... I figure his commments might bring in a few more just like him. THANK YOU, while I twisted your arm, the words were all yours. You are terrific. More

If your in the area of Northwest Connecticut very close to the NY and MA line don't ignore considering a stay here. The owner, Steele, is charming.

Well, this was a pleasant surprise. These guests have been here a few times. Once again I think our excellent remarks reflect more on the guest than the property. If I could rate the guests, they would be in the five-star category. First rate people that are a pleasure... always nice to have them return. Limerock seems to generate some... More
