Riverside Inn is housed in a converted 19th-century farmhouse offering a straightforward mix of inn and motel rooms. While the accommodations are basic, each room is equipped with essential amenities such as a kitchenette, air conditioning, and free Wi-Fi, making it suitable for visitors seeking practical convenience over luxury. The property is smoke-free, pet- and kid-friendly, and provides complimentary parking, though it does not offer on-site dining, a fitness center, or a pool.
The inn’s setting provides direct access to the seasonal Stowe trolley service, which is especially beneficial during winter months. Located on Mountain Road, it sits within easy reach of Stowe Mountain Resort, just over five miles away, as well as the nearby Stowe Golf Course. Outdoor enthusiasts will find popular attractions like Mount Mansfield and Bolton Valley Resort close by, both known for skiing and hiking opportunities.
Guest experiences often highlight the inn’s welcoming and accommodating owners, as well as its convenient location close to restaurants, shops, and trails. Rooms tend to be clean and functionally furnished, though some reviews mention that beds and bathroom fittings can feel dated. This makes Riverside Inn a fitting choice for those valuing affordability and charm in a central Stowe location rather than upscale comfort.
Travelers arriving by air can find several airports within reasonable driving distances, including Burlington International Airport approximately 46 minutes away by car. Nearby lodging options with varying styles and ratings offer alternatives within a mile radius, situating Riverside Inn among a range of accommodations catering to diverse guest preferences.
