September 22, 2022 I would like to express my thanks and appreciation for the service and care my classmates and I received at Echo Lake Inn last weekend. It was our second (and last!) section retreat as MBA students. You and your team made sure it was an extremely memorable one. From the moment we…

Dear Tom and Team, Thank you so much for an absolutely wonderful time at your B&B! My boyfriend and I recently joined you for two nights in room fl, after three nights and three big days of snowboarding at Okemo. The transition to the peacefulness and coziness of Echo Lake Inn was just what we…

We were staying nearby in self catering accommodation but were so pleased to find this gem of a restaurant. Once we had discovered it ,it eclipsed everything else we tried and we just kept going back, both for breakfasts and evening meals. The food was a revelation! Imaginative, top quality. The service was lovely as…

Am just back from having a 50th birthday gathering of cocktails, dinner, and an after-party at the Echo Lake Inn. There were 20 of us and it was absolutely perfect! Tom and Anne Marie were a dream to work with – incredibly hard working and responsive but easy going enough that even the planning part…

We really enjoyed our stay at the inn. The staff was welcoming and went out of their way to help us with dinner reservations when we arrived late on our 1st night. We stayed in the black river suite which is roomy and nicely decorated. Breakfast was delicious especially the blueberry pancakes. Highly recommend for…

Enjoyable stay will be back. While the Inn is around 200 years old it was a nice mix of old world charm and modern touches that blended well. We stayed in one of the King rooms with a Jacuzzi tub. The bed was extremely comfortable with a ton of pillows (which is a must for…

This is my second year in a row staying here. I love this place. Peaceful, beautiful, relaxing. The breakfast is delicious (haven’t had dinner there yet), and everyone is so kind. The room is comfortable and tidy. I had a chance to read out by the pool and fell asleep to the sounds of birds…

My husband and I booked this Inn for a Vermont getaway. We were pleasantly surprised at finding such a gem outside of Ludlow. The rate was great, the staff so attentive, the room immaculate and bathroom large and it had a great shower. The breakfast was a full country breakfast with eggs as you desired,…
We keep returning to the Echo Lake Inn because of its rural and historic appearance, friendly staff, excellent food, and a short drive to get into Ludlow. It is slightly off the beaten path ( 5 miles off main road?). The kitchen must have a well trained, experienced chef because the entrees are always nicely…
My husband and I attended weekend wedding festivities at the Echo Lake Inn. What a lovely spot to celebrate a special occasion. Friday’s barbecue featured a nice selection of grilled meats and salads. The bonfire provided the perfect backdrop to watch the full moon rise. The weather cooperated for Saturday’s outside wedding ceremony. A guitar…
I went to Echo Lake Inn twice. Once to view for a wedding consult and another to stay for a little get away. The inn is lovely, the staff is excellent, and the food is to die for. I’m having my wedding next year and I can’t wait for it! I would never stay any…
Echo Lake inn recently hosted our son’s wedding. Everything from arrival on Friday evening to departure on Sunday could not have been better, The entire staff made us feel as if the Inn was our home for the weekend and could not have been more attentive or helpful. The food was outstanding and there are…
What a wonderful breakfast. Hearty, hot and delicious. Best pancakes ever. !! Friendly staff too. We’ll be back – maybe just for breakfast…..Wonderful atmosphere and easy access to Okemo Mountain for skiing.
We have stayed at Echo Lake Inn probably five times in the last eight years. We come up to ski over President’s Week with our teens. The Inn is charming – super cozy and welcoming. The owner Tom is accommodating, helpful and friendly, as is the staff. We love the restaurant where we have consistently…
Very pleasant and attentive staff that really provide a home from home experience. The food is delicious and plentiful. I was very pleasantly surprised by the quality and would highly recommend The Echo Lake Inn. I will most definitely stop by if I’m in the area.
We had dinner here one evening and the complimentary breakfast the three days we were here. The food is great (the salmon and past primavera the best ever) and very elegant in it’s presentation. The dining room is beautiful. We enjoyed the hot tub and canoeing on the lake. I would have liked to use…
We were guests at a wedding this past weekend, and the innkeeper and managers did a wonderful job of making us feel special. From the moment of check-in, they addressed us by name, and were helpful with any requests we had. The site is beautiful, the rooms are cozy, and the amenities are great. There…
The inn’s staff were friendly and attentive, and the food was excellent. Because we had our dog with us and couldn’t take him into the dining room, my birthday dinner was served on the capacious porch. Ask for a pet-friendly room if you are bringing your dog. We stayed in one of the condos which…
We arranged a wedding dinner for about 40 people, and we could not possibly have been happier with the way the innkeeper, Tom Gianola, made us feel welcome. From our first telephone conversation with him, Tom was anxious to please, without even the tiniest hint of pressuring us toward one choice or another. We also…
Make a reservation, sit on the porch, and enjoy! It is fine dining with a down to earth feel. The wait staff are professional, and knowledgeable about the food, but make you feel right at home. Our server, Max was able to answer all of our questions about the menu and the wine list. The…
My husband and I stayed here for two nights while we roadtripped along route 100 to see the fall colors. We had no idea what we were looking for when we booked our trip. We both had never stayed in an Inn before and had never been to Vermont. I’m so happy that we found…
My wife and I stayed here for 3 nights the second week of October. Tom, the owner, is such a nice gentlemen, always asking if there’s anything that we need. The same goes for his assistants, Ann Marie and Karen, We didn’t have dinner here, but the breakfasts were delicious, especially the pancakes, which were…
Fran felt very welcome and said this trip was refreshing. She left her alarm clock in the room and after calling, the folks at Echo Lake mailed it to her the very next day. Now that’s what I call service. Food was excellent and the room certainly met her needs. Roads leading to the Inn…
On our way back from Killington we stopped at the Echo Lake Inn bar for a break and were quite happy that we did. They have a small bar area with deep leather chairs where you can peacefully enjoy an apres ski drink. Its quite, comfy, well stocked and the service is exactly as much…
Great place to stay for Okemo Skiing. Staff was great and very accommodating. Food was excellent. Hot Breakfast included with stay. Dinner was top notch. Easy ride to mountain. Would definitely return.
We recently celebrated the wedding of my daughter at the Inn and we were extremely pleased. We had the complete Inn from Friday until Sunday morning which made for a stress free weekend. Tom, the Innkeeper was accommodating to what ever we wanted and made sure the guest were happy and had what they needed.…
The Echo lake Inn is a historic inn that stays true to its roots, but provides everything ski country needs with incredible value. It offers casual elegance without the pretensions associated with this. Smile that you have a key and not a swipe. My wife and I found our room spacious and homey, yet we…
Third visit to Echo Lake Inn. This time we brought 115 guests with us for what people called the best wedding ever. Everything from the accommodations, to staff, to the food was perfect. The inn is large and spacious enough to accommodate everyone from singles to families of 7. Everyone took advantage of the pool,…
Incredible would be an understatement. The Echo Lake Inn was everything we wanted and then some. First, the property: it is beautiful and has everything from lawn games to a pool to the lake and canoes/kayaks. When you have a wedding here the property becomes exclusively yours so all of the people at the inn…
Echo Lake Inn is the perfect location for your wedding! Tom, the Innkeeper, and his whole staff were fantastic throughout the whole process and made planning our wedding from afar as easy as possible. Neil, the wedding coordinate, was great both on Friday night, and all day and night on Saturday. He made sure that…
Tom, Kyle, Ann Marie, Max and the rest of the staff at the Echo Lake Inn were simply wonderful! These people know and love hospitality! They took care of things (my forgetting to delegate someone to pick up the rehersal dinner desserts, an injury on the dance floor, etc) before I even realized there was…
As the mother of the bride I can truly say Tom and his staff were extraordinarily remarkable in their caring for detail. Always his staff created a special warmth in their dealings with my daughter. Many times she remarked throughout the long planning stage how prompt Tom was in responding to her many detailed questions…
From the moment we set foot on Echo Lake Inn’s beautiful campus and sat down with innkeeper Tom, we knew we had found the right venue. Previously, we had looked at a handful of others venues, but the best features of all of them came together at ELI – and for a great price! First…
Where do I even begin!? I have nothing but good things to say about the Echo Lake Inn. This truly was the perfect wedding venue for my husband and I. We live in NY so all planning was done over the phone and via e-mail and Tom made wedding planning so easy! Tom is amazing…

As the FOB in a recent late July wedding at the ELI, I cannot recommend Tom, the staff, and the Inn highly enough. While we’re from Vermont, we had @150 guests from around the country, most of whom stayed there from Friday through Sunday, and from the BBQ rehearsal dinner to the wedding, the reception,…

We looked at a lot of venues, but from the moment we came to Echo Lake Inn, I knew it was the one. It brought together every element we liked in various other venues – exclusivity, history, sustainability, amenities – all for a great price, and with an amazing support staff. Tom and Kyle were…
I got married 8/25/18 and could not be more happy! We live in NY so most of the wedding planning was done via email or on the phone, and Tom made wedding planning easy! Tom was very easy to get in touch with, I was constantly e-mailing him questions and he was always very quick…
We could not have asked for a better experience for our wedding which took place on 10.13.18 at the Echo Lake Inn. The venue itself is beautiful with a welcoming front porch and a breathtaking dell in the woods behind the inn where we had our wedding ceremony. Tom the innkeeper and the entire Echo…
Everything was perfect for Kelly and Anthony’s Wedding. The venue was ideal for our 100+ guests, coming from multiple states, and the accommodations suited everyone from couples to groups of seven. Tom and the entire staff were accommodating and courteous and made the entire weekend a huge success.
My husband & I were married on June 9th, 2012 at Echo Lake Inn in Ludlow, VT, & I wanted to share my review of the experience with the wedding world here. When you book your event at the Inn, it becomes yours exclusively for the weekend & closed to the public, which was a…
