We have been going to The Garrison for about 20 years, never wrote a review. It is time, considering some of the other comments we have seen. If you are looking for Ritz-Carlton accommodations where the concierge directs you to a martini bar with finger sandwiches, room service and a scantily clad maid that irons your underwear while you wear...

Me and my family have been coming up to Waitsfield Vermont for over 40 years and are skiiers at Mad River Glen. This time around we stayed at the Garrison. A hotel just a little ways down the road from the ski resort. This hotel accommodates a clean warm pool, apartments/condos, hotel rooms and in the summer tennis courts. It... More

Its unfortunate that the reviews I have read are slamming this place. The Garrison is the perfect guys ski trip destination. Its close to Sugarbush, Mad River, Stowe, bars and restaurants. Its spacious. The sheets are clean and the pool is hot (not warm). We had a group of 7 there last weekend and it worked perfect again. I have... More

I was blown away by the service at this beautiful vermont resort. First of all the room we stayed in was unbelievable with great views of their spectacular pool and was a real blast to the past when i realized there was a trap door downstairs used during the revolutionary war, which apparently the owner fought in. The lobby was... More

Two contractors working on our house stayed here. By the second day they were sick. The entrance to their room was on the bottom floor. On the TOP floor where they had no occasion to go, was one small sign warning not to drink the water or use it to brush teeth. The water is not potable; it contains coliform,... More

I stayed at the Garrison for one night, with three of my children, because we came in town for the marathon. But I would NEVER advise ANYONE to stay here. We drove up and saw open windows on the third floor, with laundry handing out. We should have turned around them but had no options--it was night, the race was... More

I was leery of staying based upon previous reviews, but the owner convinced me to give it a try (via phone). The place was very odd with an indoor pool that looked neglected. The room had two beds with a bathroom in between, so it was a good choice for three people. The TV was old. There was a coffee... More

I'll start by saying I have never written one of these but felt compelled to write this to save you from a similar experience. I stayed here due to it's proximity to a 3 day seminar I was teaching down the road in Warren as well as the price. I have stayed at other places in the valley with nothing... More

I have stayed at the Garrison several times and have never been disappointed. The location is great, the rates are low, and Tucker is the snuggly-est host in the Mad River Valley, I can still remember his wet nose greeting me at the door! If you're doing it right at MRG or the Bush you should be able to sleep... More
