It was in the middle of nowhere. Dining was very limited. The Goat Tavern opened and closed during the day. It was not open all day. Their other restaurant The Junction only opened on Friday and Saturday evenings. We drove to nearby restaurants and found many of them closed most of the week and/or opened from Thursdays thru Saturdays. We ended getting food from the deli at the nearby grocery store. We did drive to Burlington, Vermont a few miles away. We were going to take a lunch cruise on the Spirit of Ethan Allen. Once we got there the ticket office said the cruise was canceled due to the weather. We went back the next day again and it was canceled again except for the evening cruise. The Essex Resort and Spa is good for events and/or conferences on site. Otherwise, I would recommend staying in Burlington or South Burlington, Vermont.

Overall enjoyed our stay. Hot tub wasn't working this morning. Noticed the pool area could use a very deep cleaning. Windows in pool area were very dirty and very dirty around the sills. No hooks in our bathroom. It's a spa...you have wet swim suits to hang and bathrobes, which we thought was strange. Overall we enjoyed and would return, but thought the price was a bit much for the room that we had.
