Gorgeous, well kept property. Staff is so pleasant. It is an older property. Built in the 60s I would guess. You can tell the age due to the ceiling heights, thin walls and floors. The decor is very mid century modern, clean, minimalist and thoughtful. My room was very small but plenty of room for just myself. The bed and bedding were comfy. The small deck and river view from my room were a real treat.

The room was completely broken down. Mold around the windows, bathroom door hanging by one hinge, peeling paint and mold in the ceiling. The management promised a credit and never came through despite multiple calls. Terrible stay and experience.

Interesting property that is very conveniently located for both access to Stowe Mountain and the town. The staff was friendly and helpful. The only negative is that the rooms are quite small.

We stayed for a weekend and had the greatest time. Their in-house bar has amazing drinks and snacks (must try the pretzel bites!). The staff were very friendly and made sure we were comfortable. We stayed in the king room, it was small but they make it up with great deco, awesome river views, and even as simple as it sounds - providing great coffee options in the room.

We did not see that pets were allowed in the facility. It turned out to be OK as our room showed no sign of pets. However, it could have been a problem due to my allergies. The room was fine but the lack of a closet meant hanging our clothes on hooks in the bedroom. The rod and hangers over the coffee area was not helpful. Despite these things, the staff was very pleasant and we enjoyed our stay.

Worst room ever.
I've never stayed anywhere with less amenities. Not a dresser, closet or anywhere to put your clothes. I used the boot tray to make a dresser drawer. No microwave,not a chair or anywhere to sit, a broken ice machine, had an electtric coffee/tea pot on a shelf above the fridge but no outlet. There were some along the floor. Not at all enjoyable.

We loved our stay at Tälta Lodge, A Bluebird by Lark! It was our first time, but definitely not the last :) The comfort of the bed and pillows is out of this world! At least for us...We immediately looked for and ordered (if not the same, but very similar) the pillows and mattress cover. The only thing I would recommend the lodge to take into consideration is having a couple more rugs for the shows available in the room, so it doesn't get messy bringing inside any snow/rain. Other than that, I didn't want to leave :))
