"It was our first time up to Sugarbush. Driving to the White Horse Lodge a few miles down the road was great and even better driving to My Ellen less than a mile away the following morning. The place was clean and comfortable and perfect for our stay. Will definitely come back to the White Horse Lodge ..."

Close to the ski slopes.
"The property had plenty of space for our group. I would suggest some steps be put in and some more care be spent on snow removal but we had fun sliding downhill to the entrance."
