Mountain Top Resort

We stayed in cloud 9 and loved it. Perfect for our small family. The food at the resort was great. The pontoon boat ride was nice. We enjoyed going to Killington for a day. O my wish the outdoor pool was heated!!

Just returned from a three night stay with the family, which included Husband myself and my two girls ages 14 and 12. First resort is gorgeous. Sits literally on top of a mountain and the views are spectacular from our luxury queen room. Honestly, you can’t find a more beautiful location. The girls enjoyed the horse back riding all three days as that was the highlight of our stay. The guides were knowledgeable, friendly, and put us on horses that were a kin to our ability. We ate at the restaurant for dinner and the food was delicious. However, eight dollars for four rolls in the bread basket appetizer was a bit steep I thought. The coconut ravioli was to die for absolutely scrumptious. My husband got the pad Thai, which he thoroughly enjoyed. Kids got the chicken fingers. Now here are constructive critiques.. The room had a beautiful view overlooking the patio, the restaurant, the pool and the mountains. However, as much as I love fire pits, the fire pit was directly below our room which brought the smoke in in the evening on the 2nd night, so we had to turn off the air-conditioning and then the room became hot so then we had to put the air-conditioning back on again, which brought in the smoke and I eventually fell asleep. We were thinking of switching rooms, but we thought we were just stick it out. It wasn’t so bad on the third night as we kept the AC off as it was a cooler evening. The front desk did mention that we could switch rooms if we wanted to, but it would eventually be just one floor below us which wouldn’t make a difference so we just decided to stay where we were. OK, not picky stuff… the room was nice however it was very dark. It could use more lighting. Also the bathroom had the pedestal sink but very limited counter space so we all ended up putting our toiletries on a very small sink and there was a shelf, but that was taken up with towels. I guess I’m just used to hotels which have these long counters which the ample space to put your stuff. Not a big deal but worth mentioning. The AC was OK. It was a dated fixture and it did seem to keep the room cold during the day but woke up hot in the middle of the night as I think it might’ve turned off because it might’ve been cooler outside, but I tend to sleep on the hot side so I’m always keeping the ac in the room year-round. Pillows were hard… If you want a soft pillow, you might want to ask if they have any we did not ask or just bring your own. Also, the gym is small but has the minimal stuff you need to get your workout in. However, it does not open till around 7 AM which is late for me cause I’m usually the 5 AM er who is done by 7 AM, but that’s OK. There’s plenty of places to walk before hitting the gym in the morning. It would be nice if the gym could be opened earlier around 5am or 6am at the latest for us early risers. Also, being in the mountains , there’s not going to be a strong cell reception so just work off of their Wi-Fi, which was fine. But people who want to do work which require a secure connection you might find a little bit challenging. My husband wanted to check his stocks but did not want to jump on the Wi-Fi to do so so we could not do that while we were at the hotel. Had to wait till we get to the Killington area For stronger signal. The next time you come, we are going to bring our dogs and rent a dog friendly house. They have houses in the property that are privately owned that rent out to the resort so we will plan on that next time. It was too cool for us to use the pool, but that looks nice as well. We did take advantage of the pontoon boat ride, which is a one hour leisurely excursion around the lake. However, thrill seekers take notice there’s only a 5 mph limit on the lake so when I say leisurely, it is very leisurely. All in all a nice stay—a couple of recommendations above and we will be back to rent a house next time.

We had an absolutely amazing stay! We spent 3 nights at Rambling Brook, attended welcome drinks at the Beach Pavilion, attended a wedding at the wedding knoll and an indoor reception. The resort was beautiful, the staff was fantastic and Rambling Brook exceeded our expectations.  I would highly recommend the Mountain Top Resort. We loved every second of our trip.

We stayed in the Deer Run home connected to Mountain Top Resort and had an absolute blast! The resort itself had fantastic service, food and amenities. The Deer Run rental home itself was absolutely beyond our expectations! This rental is worth every penny! From waking up to incredible Mountain View’s (with local beavers in view) to a fun afternoon of billiards, to watching a movie in the awesome surround sound movie theater room….you just can’t beat it. Oh, did I forget to mention the hot tub and sauna?? The owners are top notch and have put a lot of thought and care into this home!

It is disheartening to have to write this review. My fiancé and I visited the MTR in anticipation of potentially getting married there. We reside out of state and took time off work to stay overnight, which was generously offered as a complimentary accommodation in our wedding brochure. Our room was exceptional and we thought would set the tone for the remainder of our stay. The grounds were breathtaking, and we were eagerly anticipating our tour with Khele the following day. That evening, we dined at the resort tavern. I informed our waitress of my severe mushroom allergy, and she diligently noted it down. However, our main course, the steak, was brought to us by a young man running the food service, not our waitress. I cut a piece of steak and dipped it into the steak sauce provided on the plate. Our waitress, who was engaged in conversation with another table, whom she seemed to be very friendly with, approached us and informed me that she had instructed the runner to disclose that the steak sauce contained mushroom powder. Given the severity of my allergy, why would the restaurant even serve an item containing it? I explained my situation to her, and she informed me that she had Benadryl available in the back. I then elaborated on the severity of my allergy. Despite the inconvenience caused, the restaurant comped us dessert, and my fiancé and I were willing to overlook the issue due to our fondness for the grounds. However, allergies must be taken with utmost seriousness. Our tour commenced at 9:00 AM, and it concluded at 9:40 AM. Khele greeted us at the front desk, and we proceeded to start on our tour. Khele led us to what appeared to be his personal vehicle, an Audi. This was no problem. However, upon entering his SUV, Khele informed us that due to muddy conditions near the ceremony site and his desire to not dirty his car, he would not be showing us the ceremony site. This revelation took us and my fiancé by complete surprise, as seeing the potential ceremony site is an integral aspect of the wedding ceremony. Upon initially being throw off, thinking maybe he was just joking, we proceeded with the tour. Our tour itinerary included a visit to the exquisite private residences on the property. Coincidentally, another party was also touring the property at the same time and was shown the ceremony site. While we comprehend his concern for the cleanliness of his personal vehicle, there were ample resort vehicles available for our use. This became evident when the other party arrived in a resort vehicle at a house that Khele was showing us. We concluded our tour and returned to his office. Notably, Khele refrained from allowing us to fully observe the ceremony site. Khele inquired about our origins (for privacy reasons, we refrained from disclosing the exact location) and responded that he would not hold it against us. Assuming it was another joke, we proceeded. Upon entering his office, Khele abruptly slid the booklet across the table, like we were a bother. My fiancé read over the booklet to review our options, but Khele failed to provide any numerical information or a proposal. When we inquired about the cost per person, he responded with “ uh like 220 a person or so.” At this point, we recognized that our time was being squandered, and the situation was deeply distressing. This was an unprecedented experience for us, and the treatment we received was profoundly hurtful, even though MTR had limited availability for dates, one date did potentially work for us. Even if the date did not work for us, we would have liked to return. Despite our desire to return, we were unable to reconcile our experience with the positive aspects of other venue tours. The abrupt dismissal and treatment we received from Khele left us feeling utterly blindsided. This review overshadowed the other positive experiences during our venue tour, as we had been firmly committed to booking with MTR. Regrettably, we remain uncertain as to the reasons behind Khele’s decision to rush through our tour and disregard our presence.
