I have stayed here now three times and every time I continue to be amazed. Below is a review of my experience getting married at the venue!
Incredible would be an understatement. The Echo Lake Inn was everything we wanted and then some.
First, the property: it is beautiful and has everything from lawn games to a pool to the lake and canoes/kayaks. When you have a wedding here the property becomes exclusively yours so all of the people at the inn were our guests and we got to have an intimate weekend with all of our attendees. The wooded dell area for the ceremony is simply breathtaking. There is even a tavern downstairs where you can continue the party afterwards. Lots of fun details too including a wishing well and archway,great for photographs. The tent has birch trees on the pool.
The staff: the staff here is above and beyond. They were so attentive to our every need and several people commented to us how great they were. It seemed they knew what we needed even before we asked. We were treated like royalty here. The owner Tom was so caring about everything we needed and quick to respond to our every need. We were planning the wedding long distance and he’d jump on the phone with us late night to go over a question. He was thorough and organized and so caring about our wedding we knew we were in good hands. I cannot say enough about Tom or Neil who truly did everything to make it the best day/wedding weekend ever.
The food: the food was spectacular. From the made to order breakfast each morning to dinner it was very good. Everything is locally sourced and many of our guests arrived early so we got to try the prix fix meal they have on Thursday. It was great. The appetizers and buffet were incredible. Many of our guests who commented on the food and deliciousness.
Lastly but certainly not least the prices are very very reasonable and the bride and groom get free drinks all weekend as well as a complimentary stay. We got an entire weekend for what some people spend for an evening event.
Our overall experience was amazing and we wish we could have a wedding here again. can’t wait to celebrate our anniversary here.

Had my son’s wedding at this venue. Location is beautiful, green state at its best. The staff was fantastic, very helpful, efficient and knowledgeable. Can’t think of a better place.

Couldn’t ask for a more wonderful experience than the one you will have at the Echo Lake Inn. Tom, the owner, is an outstanding man who makes you feel like the most important person in the world when you are his guest. The rooms are immaculate, the food is exceptional, and the grounds are beautiful to walk around. Whether you’re going up to hike the Okemo area in the summer, or skiing in the winter, or looking for a fabulous wedding venue…look no further! The Echo Lake Inn has it all!

The location is BEAUTIFUL. The rooms all feel somehow modern while keeping an old rustic charm. The tavern below the in is very fun. I cannot wait to have our wedding here. It’s going to be the perfect venue.

My husband and I attended weekend wedding festivities at the Echo Lake Inn. What a lovely spot to celebrate a special occasion. Friday’s barbecue featured a nice selection of grilled meats and salads. The bonfire provided the perfect backdrop to watch the full moon rise. The weather cooperated for Saturday’s outside wedding ceremony. A guitar player welcomed the guests to the grotto for the ceremony. Afterwards, cocktails and appetizers allowed guests to mingle before dinner. The buffet meal was scrumptious! All items were presented nicely. Kudos to the staff for their attention to detail, accommodating requests, and friendly personalities!
I went to Echo Lake Inn twice. Once to view for a wedding consult and another to stay for a little get away. The inn is lovely, the staff is excellent, and the food is to die for. I’m having my wedding next year and I can’t wait for it! I would never stay any where else if I was in the area.
Echo Lake inn recently hosted our son’s wedding. Everything from arrival on Friday evening to departure on Sunday could not have been better, The entire staff made us feel as if the Inn was our home for the weekend and could not have been more attentive or helpful. The food was outstanding and there are not enough words to describe how beautiful and comfortable the Inn is. I’ve told everyone that if you look up Vermont Christmas Wedding in the dictionary you’ll find Echo Lake Inn. Thanks so much for a memorable weekend!
We were guests at a wedding this past weekend, and the innkeeper and managers did a wonderful job of making us feel special. From the moment of check-in, they addressed us by name, and were helpful with any requests we had. The site is beautiful, the rooms are cozy, and the amenities are great. There was a pool, lake swimming, and canoes and kayaks for the taking. The wedding was lovely, and the food – both at the event itself, and at the included breakfasts and on-site restaurant – were delicious. Thanks for a great weekend!
