This is a unique stay. I really enjoyed it and would go back. Pictures are accurate. Bare bones, but great price. LOVED the town and area. Comfy bed. Small, but super clean hot water shower. Live music on the weekend - enjoy it!! - done fairly early. No big deal.

Was expecting to have AC and the room does not come with AC even though there’s a thermostat in the room. Bed was AS HARD AS A ROCK! Regardless I slept well though my boyfriend did not. Room was very tiny. Looked bigger in the images I viewed of the room. Room DOES NOT have cups, utensils, microwave, mini fridge NOT EVEN A TV or mini fan because there’s no AC. Overall, if you’re just looking for a place where you’ll be in the room to just basically sleep then it might be for you. We will not re-book here. Oh and there’s no front desk or a sole around to ask for any extra pillows, towels, etc.

After walking around the quaint town of Wilmington, we couldn't decide where to go for dinner. We went to the bar to taste test the beer and ended up ordering a pizza. The bartender gave us ice to take upstairs. The building is an older building and has many eccentricities. We loved staying here and will stay again if in the neighborhood.

Valley Craft Ales is an Old Mill turned into a Restaurant and Lodging location. It is conveniently located in downtown Wilmington, VT. There is no receptionist so you have to let yourself in with a computer code. You may find yourself approached by two aggressively barking midsize dogs, if you arrive after hours. If you do, don't panic, their barks are bigger than their bites. The rooms are comfortable,clean, quiet and pest free. There is a terrific River out back that can be seen and heard, from your window which is calmingp. You can even swim in it. Great ventilation. On the downside, we had sink faucet problems which were repaired after a few days.. We were told we would be refunded for those. .There is sn unswept rocky front stairway and a building exterior badly in need of some carpentry repair and a fresh coat of red paint. They have, on some evenings, guitar entertainment but it's low and nice background music in the room. They stop at 9:00 pm to not keep Lodgers up. It can be a super comfortable stay if they just fix some of the glitches. The need stairway Masonry to create a smooth sidewalk to the back River. The place has a LOT of promise. The dogs need a backyard. The Management was warm and friendly. Decent people . #####

i never got to even stay there because they never sent me the damn "passcode" to get in my room... if i had known about the whole "virtual thing" before i even made the reservation then i wouldn't have booked the reservation in the first place... i don't want to drive 4 hours to get there to find out that no one there knows the information needed to get me in my room... i waited until 3 PM which is way later than i wanted to just to see if they would respond to me giving me the door passcode,,, so they text it way after 3 and i had already forfeited the entire trip because i would be rushing at that point and speeding... not worth it.. ruins the whole happy vibe of a trip in the first place... they should have given me what i needed at the time that they billed me!!! so i lost 200$ and overall...lesson learned

Did not stay and told manager we were not staying. Wanted money back and refused.

No tv No fridge no microwave No AC I know, it's my fault for not asking. I've gotten used to the "normal" amenities I will surely check from now on. The place was fairly clean.

A place to rest your head, no handicapped accessibility, not fancy but clean.

Property is definitely unique! There is no front desk or check in; you get an email or text with the code to your door and your room number and that's it. Convenient, but nobody to talk to if you had any issues. The rooms are above the bar, and they frequently have live music, so be mindful of that. I will say that I stayed on a Saturday night and the music was done by 10:45pm, but you could still hear people at the bar and going in and out of the front door, and even people just coughing in the next room. It is a very old building, and they do supply you with ear plugs as they understand that noise is an issue. The beer was good, the pizza was good, so if you just need a bed for the night and don't mind noise, it's a fine place to stay.

Love this

An old mill converted into a brewery with rooms for rent - how could you go wrong?! Stayed here in a hiking a trip. Rooms are small, but for a place to stay while hiking it was perfect

To warm in hot weather, very small room and shower, floor tilted

The website indicates air conditioning. The thermostats did not work so no air conditioning. Other lighting was so bad I couldn’t see anything much but everything looked dingy and dirty. The bathroom sink was tiny and the second bathroom was across a public hall when it was represented as a two bathroom unit. It was so bad that we had to find another hotel to stay in. We did not stay in the room that was totally paid for. Complete waste of money.

The inn is above the brew pub/pizzeria, which is an old ski lodge, which is pretty rustic and very charming. Great deck over the river where you can enjoy pizza and beer. Quiet (when no live music, which is mostly), easy to access. Stairs, basic plumbing, nice location.

Good location next to a creek in charming little Wilmington. But rooms are very small and basic. No glas, no bed table or bed lamp. Had to ask the downstair restaurant for WiFi access - but it didn’t reach up to the rooms. The downstairs restaurant seemed really nice but we came on a Sunday so there were no live music and it closed at 9 pm. Without breakfast included it wasn’t the best deal for us.

Exellent I love it

Great time. Great location.

We had a great time in Wilmington and enjoyed staying at Valley Craft Ales and eating their pizza

A very unique place to stay in southern VT. I did love my view overlooking the river. I can imagine it's a great place to stay in the summer, especially as a group if you're looking for local lodging close to hiking etc. I was there end of May, just before the start of the summer season apparently, and it was all but abandoned which was disconcerting to me. I arrived on a day when the restaurant and bar were closed (monday) and no staff were present. The place has a code lock on the front door for self check-in. It was completely dark and uninhabited when i arrived. Turns out (I learned from one of the owners that was present later that evening) I was one of 2 people staying in the whole place. Being in a town I've never been to before, travelling alone, this was not my ideal. Had I not arrived on a monday, the bar and restaurant would have been open though, and that would have likely felt very different. I would consider staying again under different circumstances because the place is very unique (building and antiques) and the owner was cool when I ran into him. But the whole place (especially windows, carpets and probably HVAC sys) could use a deep spring cleaning! 3 stars for cleanliness felt pretty generous but the bedding and bathroom were spotless and i'm giving the benefit of the doubt due to being off season.

This is an old rustic building that is also a Brewery/Restaurant/Music Venue. Very cool. Walk into town in a minute. If you are looking for a unique stay, this is it! If you are looking for Shiny new, bell hop, room service, pool, spa etc, this is NOT the place for you.
