At Mountain Valley Retreat, travelers praise the warm, hands on hosts, hearty made to order breakfasts, and the peaceful, scenic setting near Killington and the Appalachian Trail, while noting shared bathrooms and steep, narrow stairs as trade offs.
Guests frequently describe rooms as cozy, quiet, and comfortable, with some enjoying brook or valley views; a few note smaller room sizes. Cleanliness is generally well regarded, though a few comments suggest more detailed cleaning could help. House rules like removing shoes and the presence of steep, narrow stairs may not suit every traveler. Best for travelers who value hospitality and a quiet setting over private facilities.

Beautiful scenery. Accommodating hosts, helpful to move my luggage up and down staircase, even putting into my car when I departed. Excellent made to order breakfast, multiple decaf coffee refills, even preparing a to go coffee in my travel cup. I would definitely stay again when visiting this region. A gem.

Very cute and cozy home in a scenic area. Mike makes an awesome breakfast! There is a very steep set of stairs up to the rooms , so pack light. Small shared bathroom but works for one night. The room was clean, bed super comfortable and WiFi worked great. There is a beautiful waterfall right down the road. I’d stay again if visiting Vermont area! Thanks Mike and Barbara.

It was a nice, quiet home in a lovely location. The hosts were attentive and the breakfast was very good. The shared guest bath was small, and it was a little awkward having to wait for an opening to use it, but we managed. One thing we did not expect was not being allowed to wear shoes in the house. I don't remember seeing any mention of that on the listing. That was a bit off-putting for us.

We were disappointed with this B&B. Mainly because we like to have our own private bathroom. All the rooms in this B&B share a bathroom. Fortunately, we were the only ones there so we had the bathroom to ourselves. But if you like you own bathroom, this is not for you. Stairs to the second floor are extremely narrow. Breakfast was excellent. Location is quite remote. We would not stay there again.

This is a bed and breakfast in the Killington, Vermont area not far from the main road. The two-story house is set next to a hillside and no other buildings are visible from it. Mike and Barbara, the owners, emailed us about a week in advance of our stay to welcome us and give us directions. They asked us to call when we knew the hour of our arrival. We arrived in the evening after a good dinner at the Foundry on Summit Lake in Killington and met Mike and Barbara. Mike helped us settle in the house. We were directed to a room upstairs that had everything we needed and a comfortable bed. The bath was directly across the hall. This was a shared bath but we never saw the other person using that bathroom until we left the next day. The staircase to our hall and room was narrow and curved. People with disabilities or heavy luggage should request a first floor room if one is available. In the morning Mike made us an excellent breakfast. I had warned Mike the evening before that my wife needed strong coffee. He made perfect coffee for her—just right. Mike sat with us at breakfast. He gave us information on how to reach the Appalachian Trail and how to drive to Woodstock, with tips on places to visit and restaurants. The Mountain Valley Retreat is within 200 yards of the Appalachian Trail. We walked the Trail to a falls (Thunder Falls). The Trail in this area is kept up like the treasure it is. We recommend the Mountain Valley Retreat.

This small B&B sits on an absolutely gorgeous property in a mountain valley a quick 15 minute drive from Killington and Pico. The accommodations are clean and comfortable, the hosts are pleasant and accommodating, and breakfast in the windowed kitchen nook (with an unencumbered vista of the mountain paradise outside) was appetizing. What a way to fuel up for a day of bluebird skiing at the Beast of the East! I highly recommend a stay at this little piece of heaven in Vermont.

Let me start with the positives: Breakfast was good and Mike was engaging. Property is secluded, if that's what you are looking for. Property is decently priced. This property is close to the Appalachian Trail, so I assume it's a popular stay for hikers. Negatives: Bathroom must be shared with others, which is more like a hostel, than a retreat in my opinion. It was fine during our stay because we were couples traveling together, but still not ideal. Had to drag heavy suitcase upstairs up a narrow stairwell. A two man operation. We had to surrender ours shoes as soon as we entered the property, and did not see them until the next morning. We could not take our shoes to our room upstairs. There was no air conditioning, which is probably fine for 99 percent of the year, but we brought record heat with us, so it was a bit hard to get to sleep with only a fan. Our room was extremely small, small TV, not much room to open a large suitcase. See pics. We had a number of black ants in our room and bed overnight, luckily they did not bite. View out our bedroom window was a wooded hillside.

This small B&B sits on an absolutely gorgeous property in a mountain valley a quick 15 minute drive from Killington and Pico. The accommodations are clean and comfortable, the hosts are pleasant and accommodating, and breakfast in the windowed kitchen nook (with an unencumbered vista of the mountain paradise outside) was appetizing. What a way to fuel up for a day of bluebird skiing at the Beast of the East! I highly recommend a stay at this little piece of heaven in Vermont.

It was great stay with knowledgeable and friendly hosts. Made us feel right at home. Location which is set in a beautiful Vermont valley near the Appalachian Trail and Killington ski resort. Check out Thunder Falls - walking distance.

Wonderful host at this small b&b! Excellent breakfast, friendly company, walking distance to the waterfall at the Appalachian Trail nearby. This is a beautiful spot in a valley with a stream running through, the access road goes over a little wooden bridge. I really enjoyed my stay!

Nestled beneath Killington this cute gem was a lovely spot not too far off Rt4, for our overnight stay. Nicely clean, artfully decorated and equipped. Staff were lovely and breakfast was delicious.

This is a bed and breakfast in the Killington, Vermont area not far from the main road. The two-story house is set next to a hillside and no other buildings are visible from it. Mike and Barbara, the owners, emailed us about a week in advance of our stay to welcome us and give us directions. They asked us to call when we knew the hour of our arrival. We arrived in the evening after a good dinner at the Foundry on Summit Lake in Killington and met Mike and Barbara. Mike helped us settle in the house. We were directed to a room upstairs that had everything we needed and a comfortable bed. The bath was directly across the hall. This was a shared bath but we never saw the other person using that bathroom until we left the next day. The staircase to our hall and room was narrow and curved. People with disabilities or heavy luggage should request a first floor room if one is available. In the morning Mike made us an excellent breakfast. I had warned Mike the evening before that my wife needed strong coffee. He made perfect coffee for her—just right. Mike sat with us at breakfast. He gave us information on how to reach the Appalachian Trail and how to drive to Woodstock, with tips on places to visit and restaurants. The Mountain Valley Retreat is within 200 yards of the Appalachian Trail. We walked the Trail to a falls (Thunder Falls). The Trail in this area is kept up like the treasure it is. We recommend the Mountain Valley Retreat.

This small B&B sits on an absolutely gorgeous property in a mountain valley a quick 15 minute drive from Killington and Pico. The accommodations are clean and comfortable, the hosts are pleasant and accommodating, and breakfast in the windowed kitchen nook (with an unencumbered vista of the mountain paradise outside) was appetizing. What a way to fuel up for a day of bluebird skiing at the Beast of the East! I highly recommend a stay at this little piece of heaven in Vermont.

Beautiful scenery. Accommodating hosts, helpful to move my luggage up and down staircase, even putting into my car when I departed. Excellent made to order breakfast, multiple decaf coffee refills, even preparing a to go coffee in my travel cup. I would definitely stay again when visiting this region. A gem.

Quiet charming home a few miles off the highway. Only 2 rooms and a very picturesque, relaxing setting. Will serve a home cooked full breakfast in the morning.

Location was great and Mike was a fantastic host. Our breakfast was yummy and he gave us quite a few choices too! Only comments I would like to put in are 1.narrow staircase to get upstairs so a little hard for us with the luggage. 2. Shared bathroom

What a delight! This is the quintessential "mom and pop" bed and breakfast that Vermont is famous for and in a beautiful and serene setting. Mike is an absolute gem of a human being and makes a killer breakfast with the most perfect over easy eggs and french toast I think I've ever had. The room was clean, peaceful and comfortable and I'll definitely be coming back!

Mike and Margaret were so kind and accommodating - their home is located in SUCH a beautiful space, and we were treated to a wonderful breakfast and conversation in the morning. We felt free to come and go, and enjoyed enthusiastic recommendations from Mike, including an exciting "scrabble" up Thundering Brook trail and a glorious swim spot at Kent Pond. Thank you again for everything!
