We recently stayed at the Golden Lion for a family event. I was disappointed on several levels. First, the rooms are quite dirty. Not that the carpets weren't clean or there was grime, but the walls were covered in scuff marks, the furniture had stains, and the tub was worn with overuse. The window in our bathroom did not open... more

After a long day on the mountain there is nothing like a nice hot shower. What a shame that the golden lion inn has no water pressure. You could maybe get a nice relaxing evening in the hot tub, but the owners keep the location a secret and tell you that you need ask where the hot tub is and... more

We had just returned from VT and stayed at the Golden Lion Inn for two nights. We were very happy that they were a pet friendly hotel and we happy that they had an excellent breakfast included in the rate. The owners and staff of the hotel were very friendly and helpful and you could not beat the less than... more

If it's a clean, warm, cost effective stay with fido along for the ride I stay here when skiing in the Mad River Valley region and have returned after 3 or 4 stays over the past several years since the present young couple/owners took over. Only a couple of rooms are open to pets, so plan in advance accordingly if... more

We've been to this inn several times, and we love the area. We have been there in summer, fall and winter seasons. The area is much more low key than Stowe and Killington, but that's what we like. It is very reasonably priced, and the innkeepers were very friendly and helpful. They really know the area well and are willing... more

We recently went on holiday to New England to see the changing of the colours and passed through Vermont on our way to New Hampshire. We spent an enjoyable two days at the Golden Lion Inn. The rooms were clean and we enjoyed a full, American style breakfast with blueberry pancakes and maple syrup and eggs with sausage and toast.... more

I was hoping for something good with the decent reviews this place has from tripadvisor. But the room was awful. It was so dirty and needs major upgrade and cleaning. And it reeked of mold. I'm not kidding, it was so overpowering, we had to put the air conditioning on full blast, but even that didn't help. The sheets and... more

We had a great time in the Mad River Valley on our latest ski trip to Sugarbush and Mad River Glen and enjoyed our stay at the Golden Lion Inn. The accommodations were inexpensive, the room clean, and the breakfasts were good and hearty. The innkeepers served waffles and pancakes, together with some variation of eggs/bacon or eggs/sausage while we... more

I recently had to spend a week in the Sugarbush area and needed to find a lodging choice that met my three primary criteria: (1) reasonably priced for an extended stay; (2) private baths, simply because I'm not keen on sharing with an inn-full of people; (3) full hot breakfasts as I knew my daily schedule would be unpredictable. The... more
