- Families needing multi-bedroom space
- Couples combining skiing and dining
- Hikers and outdoor activity seekers
- Groups wanting a kitchenette suite
Less suited to
- Travellers expecting urban walkability

Two restaurants on the property
Having two dining options on-site matters in a rural Vermont location where alternatives require a drive. The hotel also runs a bar, room service, and a breakfast programme that guests regularly single out.
Pool, hot tub, and garden
The outdoor pool and hot tub sit alongside a garden with picnic areas and outdoor furniture. The setup is most useful in summer and early autumn, when Plymouth's surroundings are at their greenest.
Room scale for families and groups
The largest suites go up to 93 m² with three bedrooms, a living room sofa bed, and a kitchenette with a dishwasher and coffee machine. That kind of space is uncommon at this price point in the region.
Activities on and around the site
The hotel has water sports facilities, canoeing, hiking, ping-pong, and tennis equipment on-site. Ski storage is available for winter stays. Horseback riding and cycling are accessible nearby at an additional charge.

Across 62 reviews, Echo Lake Inn holds a 4.3/5 rating. The breakfast is a recurring point of praise, as are the on-site facilities for a rural Vermont property. The two restaurants are frequently cited as a practical advantage. No dominant negative theme stands out from the available data.
- Small rooms and bathrooms with limited space
- Noise issues — road/traffic noise and loud window AC units overnight
- Poor sound insulation between rooms
- Temperature control problems (AC cutting out or rooms overheating)
- No elevator; stairs difficult for guests with mobility issues
“The staff went out of their way to help us out when my husband broke his leg during the ski trip. I'd consider staying there again!”
“The road can be noisy - and the building is quite old so they use window units for AC and that was also very loud overnight.”
“Coolidge actually used this inn as a summer White House. The boating on the lake, the tennis courts, the sitting room, the outstanding meal.”
“I wish our bathroom was a bit bigger. It was smaller than a cruise ship bathroom but overall the stay was quite pleasant.”
“building is almost 200 years old so know what to expect. Owner is great and helpful, breakfast is excellent and there are free rowing boats, canoes, etc.”
