Long Trail House Condominiums at Stratton Mountain Resort

The location is ok but if staying during the winter, be aware that despite what is implied on their website, getting a spot in the “indoor heated parking garage” is not certain, because there are not enough spots during busy weekends and the outdoor lots are not close. Don’t think is the case for some of the other buildings which have reserved parking, but it is an unfortunate surprise at Long Trail if you arrive late in bad weather.

The Long Trail House is probably the most convenient location in the Stratton Mountain resort. Right across from the main pedestrian village, it is literally 5 minutes walk from the central ski area. We stayed in a 1 bedroom apartment facing the back of the building and it was perfect for us. The apartment had a fully equipped kitchen, electric fireplace and tiny balcony. You also get free indoor parking with your stay though we had a hard time locating the door entry to the garage, when we arrived. You also need to pick up your door key/pass from the Black Bear Lodge. We had a frustrating arrival as we arrived around 8:30pm on the week before Christmas and hardly anyone from the resort was around. But other than that our stay was great!

The location can’t be beat. Short walk to ski lifts, shops and restaurants. You don’t need to move your car once you’ve parked. However, the rooms are dated and need an upgrade. If I weren’t charged such an expensive rate I wouldn’t be complaining, but you can’t charge top dollar prices for a sub par room. The tile in the bathroom was cracked. The rug was worn and tired. The kitchen was outdated. The fire place in the main lodge was never lit and only one of the two jacuzzis had working jets. We did enjoy our stay but for the price paid I will explore other options if we return. It’s five star pricing for three star service.
