Bluebird Cady Hill Lodge

This place was perfect. We got a room with a balcony which was nice to sit on and read my book when I woke early and my family was still asleep. The lodge was brand new and decorated perfectly with comfy seating. I enjoyed the free selections of tea and coffee in the lobby and we loved the outdoor pool. The seating by the pool was wonderful, although they could use some little tables by the chairs to put your accessories, food, etc. but that would be a wish not a necessity. The best part was you could walk downtown and to several restaurants! The Bench was right across the street and was super yummy!

We had a great summer stay here as a family of 5 (plus our dog). We were in the Cady Hill Junior Suite and it was clean, spacious, and comfortable. My kids loved the daybed! Staff were very friendly and responsive, we never felt like we were missing anything. There are hiking trails on the property (big plus for us!) and the lodge itself is walking distance to downtown shops and restaurants. Overall we had a great time and we're looking forward to coming back!

Great location good place to crash for an evening when playing hard skiing or cycling. Pictures are a little misleading as room seemed to have basic cosmetic facelift (had stayed at original place too a few times). Functional but missing still full lighting and some other basics. It’s nice to see bluebird bringing back to life many idle property .. have stayed at all of them in Stowe .. hope that there are additional round 2 and 3 upgrades planned …

Great hotel for the off season. Atmosphere was pretty epic, beautiful in all directions. Pool and hot tub were clean and good size. Hot tub was HOT and pool was great temp not too cold. Workout room was nice though there were no cups for the water cooler but I did find some upstairs in the lobby. It was a short little scenic walk from our room to the pool. Air conditioner was awesome, beds comfy, showers clean. About 15 minutes from the ben and Jerry's factory - cute tour for a great price.

We stayed here for 4 nights and we were happy! It was not pricy at all. They have indoor and outdoor pools and plenty of outdoor spaces to sit&relax. Our room was comfortable and big enough for 2. I think the best part of this motel is the view. You can see the mountains clearly while you swimming. Lobby and fire pit were so nice too! I wish they had breakfast service.

Came back here to edit my review. Despite sending this note to contact them, I have not heard from the hotel. They used a number to text me during my whole stay but ignore texts sent to them about this at that number. Their generic number sends me to a call center. It’s easy for an owner to say they’ll help but then provide no way to do so. ——— Can’t recommend this place, given all the other nearby options. It’s overpriced for the quality of the rooms. You can tell they did a cheap remodel. Our deluxe room did not feel deluxe, and the balcony we upgraded to get looked out on a muddy pond. On top of the already high price tag, they charged me an extra $47 in taxes and “resort fees”. Those resort fees should have been included in my room quote, but instead it’s a way for them to hide fees until check in. Won’t stay here again.

This is essentially a basic motel that’s been given a budget facelift — the photos look much better than the actual experience. You can tell they made an effort, but it doesn’t feel upscale; the details are missing both in the rooms and in the amenities. The outdoor pool is old and poorly maintained, while the indoor pool looks like it just got a fresh coat of paint — which is already peeling — and you’ll still find areas with mold, rust, and even some rotting wood. We booked a 2-bed, 1-bath room for a 2-night stay during the summer. On the positive side, the room was clean, and the bedding, mattress, and pillows were very comfortable. The paint colors are trendy and give the room a fresher feel. They also offer complimentary coffee and tea available all day, which was a nice touch. The staff is very friendly and responsive — I liked that they communicate via text and actually reply. The grounds are well kept, and it was very nice to be able to relax by the outdoor fire pit in the summer evenings while my two kids ran around and played on the lawn nearby. When the ice machine wasn’t working, the staff kindly provided me with a bag of ice, which I appreciated. One annoyance: the magnetic key cards get deactivated easily if kept near a phone, so I had to go to the front desk multiple times to get them reprogrammed. Overall, this is a solid $130-$150 /night motel for the current Stowe, VT market (summer 2025). Paying more than that - specially during ski season - would likely leave you disappointed (and they even add a sneaky “resort fee” on top). All in all, not a terrible experience, but it’s easy to understand why some guests might leave unhappy depending on what they paid.

Stayed here October 2024 and paid a premium - over $900 for two weeknights in the Deluxe King w/ Fireplace & Balcony. For that splurge price, the room did not live up to my expectations. The marketing is way nicer than the actual room we had. Not sure if the different buildings around the property have different bones but my room felt like a painted motel with some nice touches, but not over $400 a night’s worth, even in high season. The hotel is very conveniently located, walking distance to a lot of shops and restaurants, and has a nice view. It was overcast our entire time, but I imagine if you could see the mountains out it would be even better.

looks nothing like website. room had a closet with 5 hangers and no drawers. No chairs or places to put luggage. Bar was almost no existent and there was no real restaurant. to make matters worse, the heater was not working in 40 degree weather and at first the saw no problem offering a $20 discount on $300 rooms. very disappointing. Then they tried to say they had called and that there were no rooms available in all of Stowe. In truth, there were Dson of very nice hotels with rooms available, which we eventually moved and got our refund. We ended up at beautiful hotel less that 1/4 mile away. Highly recommend you stay at the Outbound Stowe.

The property recently changed ownership and renovated, so they're still working out the kinks. But the staff was so nice and accommodating. The property is beautiful, the room was quiet/cozy, and we loved the amenities. Will definitely be back next time we're in Stowe for a longer stay.

This is a fun place with a nice remodel. Our two-bed room with balcony room was very large and comfortable. The shower always had warm water. The staff was very nice and accommodating. The main building had the hot tub, bar, and lounge area, which we enjoyed quite a lot. We'd definitely stay there again. Great location and walkable to the city trail, across from restaurants, and a quick walk to main Street Stowe. Bus service to skiing was very close. The thermostat in the room didn't do much to control the heat. The room was a very warm 72° regardless of setting, so we ran the air conditioner to bring down the temp to 68° and opened the door to the balcony. (It's baseboard zone heating.) Maintenance tried to locate the issue during our stay, but we finally decided to manage it with a/c and open doors and leave it for them work on it after we were gone. Nice people though.

I had such high hopes after reading reviews and looking at the pictures on-line, but trust me, aside from the Great Room which appeared updated, the rest of the lodge from what I saw was dingy and run down. Our room was nothing like the picture. Website shows that the Double Queen has banquet seating and a full bathroom! Our room had no seating, no drawers to put your clothes in, a small closet with 4 hangers, paint chipping off walls, doors and trim and to top it off the bathroom sink was in the bedroom area! Website says: Join us in the Great Room and gather around the bar with a cocktail, toast s'mores, and make new friends. Gather around the bar!! What bar? The serving area that they are calling a bar is about 2 feet long, and there are no barstools. The only way to get service is to ring the bell and the same person that is checking in the guests has to run around the wall to get a drink when she has a chance. The same applies to ordering food I image as there is no real restaurant on site. I assume you would have to order food from the same person that is checking you in and pouring your drink, and you would be eating in the Great Room area as again there is not an actual restaurant there, nor did I ever see a menu anywhere. We felt like we were in a cheap motel. Girl at the front desk was lovely and was really trying to accommodate, but this lodge is really not worth the high price they are charging for a room. Run, don't walk to the nearest lodge.

So if it weren't extortionately priced, with "dynamic pricing" that means if you cancel and rebook with an hour the price goes up, I'd give this place five stars. but it is sadly overpriced for what you get.

Very disappointed. Check-in is at 4p which is already a little on the later side. Nonetheless, we arrived at 4p and our room wasn't ready. We had to wait about 20 minutes just hanging around with our bags. We had a Double Queen booked for 3 of the 5 people in our party. The booking lists 'banquette seating' but other than the 2 beds there was nothing to sit on or no place to set luggage out. When the occupants called the desk to ask about seating, they were told there was none and "maybe we can bring you a bench?" Probably would have dealt with that for this $500+ a night room had it not been for additional disappointments. The other room was a Double Queen with Deck; this was the room that wasn't ready. It did not have the piece of furniture and mini-fridge that is shown in the picture. The 2 patio chairs looked like they would fall apart if you tried to sit on them. Probably would have just accepted it because it was already late in the day and we just wanted to get ready to go have dinner. Problem was, it was COLD and there was no heat in the room. Several calls later, we were offered a space heater. Uhm, no thank you! Not going to pay $500+ per night and risk a fire in our room while sleeping. Front desk was nice enough at first but kept telling us, "Our maintenance team is working on it". The maintenance team did not exist; we confirmed it. There was just one poor guy running around with a space heater. We learned that they already knew we had no heat before we checked in. We asked them for help moving to another room and were told they were sold out. They then offered to waive our $40 resort fee on a room that was over $600 that night including fees. Uhm - no! We asked them to help us find a room somewhere else and at first the manager told us, "We've called all the area hotels and nobody has a room" Except when I said, "Okay, we've been calling also. Who have you called?"and the names she gave me were just 2 owned by the same company. We really had to push to get them to agree to refund us and let us go elsewhere. The whole ordeal took about 2+ hours while the others in our party had to sit around hungry and wanting to go to dinner. We finally got a refund and our entire party moved over to Outbound Stowe where we had an absolutely wonderful experience in a fresh, clean environment in very comfortable and accomodating room.
