About the Hotel

Beginning as a barn in the 1870s, The Mountain Top Inn & Resort has evolved into a classic four-season resort in the town of Chittenden in central Vermont, just 11 miles from Killington. President Eisenhower put it on the map during a fishing trip in 1955, and today it holds its own among the country's finest lodgings. Bedrooms boast unique treasures such as a rough-hewn timber bed or double-sided fireplace, and the Highlands Dining Room showcases sumptuous cuisine.

The guest house and amenities were average we were there for a wedding and that was beautifully done overall a pleasant experience. My complaint was a safety issue as the smoke detector had been removed from the house and the light to the deck/entrance was burned out.it was extremely cold and slipping and falling in the dark was quite possible. I had reported it to the front desk on Friday when we arrived and was assured it would be taken care of. It was not as of Sunday when we left.

Very Disappointed!

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 6 months ago

My husband and I were looking forward to a lovely dinner at the Mountain Top Inn to culminate our trip from Florida. We had made reservations last month for a window seat in the dining room. When we arrived, we were told that due to a large party in the dining room, we would have to be seated in the pub at a high top by the window. My husband asked about the availability of a table that was vacant by the window in the pub only to be told that it was reserved and the manager said not to give it away. Very disappointed we left. It would have been greatly appreciated if we had been notified in advance of the party in the dining room, and the only availability at our reserved dining time was in the pub at a high top. We would have rescheduled. Very poor customer service from this establishment. We will not go back to eat or stay.

Amazing Family Reunion at the Glorious MTR

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 8 months ago

Thank you Mike Howe and all the wonderful folks at Mountain Top Inn and Resort (MTR). This was our 9th family reunion (aka The Swarm). There were 49 of us in attendance, age range from 9 months to 88. The Mountain Top Inn and Resort was amazing! The lodge is lovely with two restaurants, beautiful views of the reservoir and areas to chill and relax. The front porch is also amazing - broad and covered. The outdoor dining area is beautiful, with wonderful wait staff, umbrellas and amazing views. There is a lovely pool area, LOTS of green space (we had an ultimate frisbee challenge), spa, horses on-site, a beach with pontoon boat, paddle boards, kayaks, canoes. It is all there for the taking. Some of our family stayed in a cabin that was right near the lodge. Cabin A was spacious, centrally located and easily accessible for the matriarch and patriarch of our crew. A few of our family stayed in the lodge and had wonderful rooms. The remaining 42 of us stayed in separate guest houses on property. We rented Rambling Brook, Wintergreen (North and South), Lakeview Lodge, Spruce Ridge, Sunrise Retreat, Fox Hollow Lower and Deer Run. All the properties were wonderful. My family stayed in Rambling Brook and it had pretty views of the sky and horse stables. Lakeview Lodge, as you would imagine, had beautiful water views and a hot tub. The other properties all had wonderful amenities. Some of the houses are close together, e.g., Rambling Brook and Wintergreen are on the same street, as are Spruce Ridge, Sunrise, Fox Hollow and Deer Run. The lodge is certainly walkable from all the houses. But, the walk back to the Spruce Ridge set of houses is a bit of a distance uphill. Have no fear, however, you can just call the lodge and they send a shuttle for you in no time. It really is walkable but just putting it out there. The beach is wonderful as well. We typically took the shuttle from the lodge as the beach is about one mile from the lodge (down hill). You can drive down to the beach. there is parking for about 10 cars or so. We typically took the shuttle and it was super easy. The MTR crew were wonderful for our two nights spent having dinner at the Beach Pavilion. They set up great places to have outdoor fires, they strung lights and set up lawn games for our enjoyment. Fortunately, our family is blessed with many musicians, so our main entertainment was singing together in a glorious setting. The hiking is wonderful. We were there in late July just after the floods. So, trails were pretty muddy - will definitely do more hiking when we go again. Finally, do not overlook the gift shop, which is located in the equestrian center. Woodstock, VT is a cute town only about 40 minutes from MTR. It is worth a day trip for sure. That said, I would have been happy not to ever leave MTR during our stay. The scenery is gorgeous, surroundings peaceful and we cannot wait to return. Just give Mike Howe a call and he will set you up for a wonderful vacation! He was wonderful to work with, responsive, flexible and anticipatory of our every need. Thank you again to Mike and the wonderful staff at MTR. Make sure you give the spa a visit - totally worth it!!!

They have loons !!! Gorgeous views, a reservoir right next to the Green Mountain National Forest !

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 10 months ago

I spent 5 days at the resort, often described as ‘rustic’ but in reality luxurious ! A real gem hidden in the Vermont mountains. The Inn has fabulous dining, being vegetarian that is extremely important . The cuisine did not disappoint ! Many choices, indoor or outdoor dining, or a tavern experience with craft beer ! A+ experience ! Heard my first ever loon one early a.m., and saw her and babies while on a boat ride, on Chittenden Reservoir, later that day ! A birder’s dream !
