We took a trip to Brattleboro to look at a nearby college with our son. When I booked this stay, I knew it wasn't top of the line, but reviews said it looked clean and I thought it might be a good way to save some money. Not. First, you need to know that West Brattleboro is pretty much Brattleboro's... more

My husband and I stayed at Dalem's chalet during a short trip to Vermont. After reading the other reviews I think this place is a bit misunderstood...it is a German, Bavarian-style chalet. Having traveled through Bavaria, I can tell you that Dalem's Chalet does resemble that type of lodging, with rustic, hand-painted and hand-made furniture. This is a not a... more

Dalem's Chalet is down on its luck and, from the look of it, has been for a long time. I will not repeat some of the accurate comments of other travelers who noted things that we agree with.

The pool was perfectly maintained, and the view from the restaurant terrace and the upper floor of rooms (which are just a bit more expensive) is fantastic. The fixtures... more

When my wife and I planned a business/pleasure trip to Vermont, we made a mistake in the place we chose (see Artist's Loft, Brattleboro). The place wasn't what we expected and we wanted to change places. We found out very quickly that was not an easy task to do. However, I did remember in my research before I booked the... more
