We had 6 couples stay in the Equinox View Villa. Everyone enjoyed their lovely rooms. The kitchen area was a bit tight, but we managed to have a great time. Mesha and Melissa were very attentive to our requests and needs. All we really needed was some snow!
Enjoyed our too brief 3 night stay. House is configured perfectly for a large family gathering and the location was great for trips to Bromley, Stratton and Manchester dining. Thank you for your hospitality.

Pictures are deceiving
I stayed at the Wilburton Inn for New Year's and it was not what I expected at all. The pictures have not been updated in I don't know how long and the property no longer looks the same as shown which is very misleading. I rented the whole house with my family which was very nice but it was not that clean. Some showers had mold in them, the rugs are all stained and not cleaned thoroughly, one of the couches in one of the bedrooms was all ripped. Definitely needs some updating as the pictures show the property is pristine and it is not. The downstairs is where the kitchen/living room area is and it has very low ceiling height and no windows so it has a basement feel to it. No natural light comes in. We had a couple of problems too, room 28 the heat was not working and it was freezing in the room, room 25 the shower temp never stayed, it would go from boiling hot to cold which was very uncomfortable, the fireplaces in some of the rooms were not working. We did call about all of these problems except the shower in room 25 and the staff is extremely accommodating which made the stay a little better. We went to breakfast at the mansion inn one morning and we were charged $20/pp when on the website it says $15/pp and when we checked in were we also told it was $15/pp. Didn't argue the price, we just never returned for breakfast because we were turned off. Location is great, just a couple of minutes from town. Unfortunately, we will not be returning to the Wilburton Inn.

Pefect for a family gathering
We had a fabulous stay at Equinox View Villa! Our family is difficult to book for: my mother is in a wheelchair and needs other special equipment, my sister and I have 4 young kids between us, and we all like a bit of privacy amidst our together time. This villa was perfect! Every room has its own modern bathroom. Upstairs 1 bedroom has more privacy (including a separate entrance) and the other 3 share a hallway so parents can easily check on kids at night. The downstairs is handicapped accessible -- including 1 fully accessible bed and bathroom, a second bedroom, communal living room, large kitchen, laundry room, and a wonderful patio with a grill and large dining table. There is a large lawn for kids to run around on and the view of Mt. Equinox is unbeatable. Plus the Wilburton Inn has a nice swimming pool, tennis courts (with equipment to rent), and very friendly staff. It couldn't have been better!

Family reunion!
The Equinox Views Villa at the Wilburton Inn was perfect for our family reunion. We had two families with children (ages 5-11) and our mother who is in a wheelchair (and unable to stand at all). The downstairs handicapped accessible room was perfect for our mother, with the room next door close by in case she needed anything. The patio overlooked the beautiful green mountains and starry night skies. The pool kept the kids busy, as did the huge lawn which kept them running around all day long. The Innkeepers were extremely friendly and responded to any request we had (including a ladder to get a toy helicopter off the roof). Great place for a family reunion. Highly recommended!

Family reunion at Wilburton Inn, Vt
We just finished our fifth summer stay at the fabulous Wilburton Inn. This time we stayed at the Equinox View house which was perfect for our large family of 10 adults and 3 small children. The bedrooms and bathrooms are all updated and very clean and quiet. Nearby swimming pool and tennis court were great to keep the little ones busy. Although there is a TV in every room, we never used them. Plan to stay there for many years to come.
