Austrian Haus Lodge

Very nice place but seriously out dated. Still has carpet from very long time ago. Host welcomed us with great generosity. The place just needs deep cleaning.

I recently stayed here for a night while visiting Mount Snow for a ski trip. This was a pretty good stay overall, but there are definitely some caveats that should be considered prior to booking a room here. It's definitely not bottom-of-the-barrel, but there are some cut corners that are worth considering. Before I get into the main pros and cons, I will say that the staff is quite friendly, which we were appreciative of! We were greeted very nicely by a gentleman at the front desk when we arrived, who checked us in quickly and explained where everything was and what was available. It's always a plus when the service is nice. Pros: • Very close to Mount Snow (less than 10 mins) • Close to popular restaurants/bars • Room was well-heated and smelled clean • Heated pool and sauna • Continental breakfast Cons: • No wifi in the rooms (just in/near the lounge area), and 4G signal was weak as well • Old, small TV (perhaps something families with kids should consider) • Some light mildew stains in the bathtub/on the shower head • Overall feel of the room is rather outdated/old • Hangers in the closet were extremely flimsy wire ones, so it was hard to hang heavy jackets there • Beds were just okay • Concierge is not 24 hours (to be expected in a family-owned establishment, but something to consider – they are reachable via phone when they are off duty though in case of emergency) • Rooms were not exactly soundproof; some normal volume conversations could be overheard next door pretty easily, so I'd assume any loud neighbors could pose an issue • Price a little steep I think the biggest con here was the price to be honest. I got a room for 2, and the price was $185. Granted, we did book via a third-party site a few days before on a weekend, which probably had an effect on the room rate, but I personally think it's a little too steep all things considered. I know family-owned businesses are harder to maintain without the support of a corporation, and I'm sure the pandemic probably hit places like this hard too, but somewhere around $150 and below would've made this stay feel more worth the price tag. Perhaps making breakfast optional for folks could be something to help bring it down. That said though, I think the biggest advantage of this place was the breakfast since it was burned into the price anyway. No prepared food (i.e. eggs, bacon, etc.), but the spread was still pretty solid! Bagels, cinnamon rolls, donuts, muffins, cereal, coffee, juice, etc., which is helpful considering the fact that (I assume) most guests at this hotel are skiers/snowboarders who need to fuel up before a day on the slopes. I'd recommend heading to breakfast as soon as possible in the morning as well — while the spread was nice, it felt like it could go fast within the first hour, especially on a busy weekend. The dining area was also very cozy and quaint. One important thing to note about this place is that their system for providing toiletries is a bit odd. I thought they did not have shampoo and conditioner because there was none anywhere in the bathroom, just individual bars of body soap, but I later realized that they keep it by the front desk. So, if you need that, be sure to grab it upon check-in or before you head to your room. I think it's something they should consider noting on the room information placard in the rooms as I found that to be an odd thing they failed to mention. Overall, I'd recommend this place for anyone who isn't too picky and is willing to sacrifice a little comfort and otherwise standard amenities. If you're a skier or snowboarder who's looking for a no-frills stay close to the slopes but with an easy next-day breakfast and option to recover in the sauna/pool, then this is definitely the perfect place for you.

Perfect for our ski trip to Mt Snow. The sauna and heated pool really made this place! The breakfast is a cold breakfast, cereal, oats, coffee, toast. No eggs bacon waffles or pancakes. There’s a free shuttle bus out the front, and if you drive to Mt Snow there’s free parking too. Only 5-10 mins to the ski fields, and within 10 mins of several bars and restaurants. Was a little worried by some reviews but our room had a renovated bathroom, very warm showers, and heating in both the bathroom and the bedroom. I would’ve appreciated having a refrigerator (even a communal fridge at reception would’ve been an easy solution) but I kept my cold groceries by the door and they stayed cold enough. Highly recommend. Would stay again. Thank you to the friendly hosts!

Had a great stay! The owners are really pleasant people and close to the slopes. It’s rustic,clean, economical and has that old school Vermont feel. Great brewery within walking distance too.

Definitely could use some upgrades and updates. My husband would have probably given it a 1 * as he was not impressed, he's tall and our room was in the eaves...but the kids loved the experience and the pool, and I wanted a cheap stay near the mountain.

I had a wonderful stay at the Austrian Haus. The rooms were great and the owners were lovely. Only 10 minutes away from mount snow

Great value for money, Worlds nicest owners, Great Indian food, great heating, also great location. The only thing I would say was I could hear everything above me easily.

Thanks for a lovely stat! It's an affordable vintage, but very well maintained,.ski lodge with homemade Indian food. Perfect basecamp for skiing and right next to a super cool brewery with live music. Would come back. The pool and sauna looked nice, this we didn't have a chance to use them. Very kind and helpful owners too!
