We had an amazing stay at Layla's Riverside Lodge this past weekend, while we were up there for the Tough Mudder. The owner was extremely accommodating to me, my son and my dog. He cooked us a perfect breakfast, and I absolutely loved how dog-friendly this place is. Seriously, I've never stayed at a place that was more dog-friendly. My dog loved running in the back yard and had an absolute blast cooling off in the stream right out back!
Beautiful setting, location is perfect, the room was spotless and Sandy/The Owner was an amazing host.
Having just spent a night at Layla’s Riverside Lodge, I’m left with many good memories. First, from the driver’s perspective, it’s an easy place to find, very convenient location for access to fun places to go to.
Yes, it is dog friendly, as we found when checking in - very friendly dogs, including the youngest who accompanied us to our room. Actually, there are two dogs; one a puppy being the most outgoing, the older one being like a larger, more patient introverted type, but having confidence compliance and curtesy. Even after being there for a while, when coming in from local trip, the puppy was happily wandering around our room (but polite and appropriate).
In a nutshell, the place is different - warm, authentic and personalized, both for guests and dogs. There were clean dog beds all over, including rooms, and dog dishes everywhere – but again, very clean.
I had a great breakfast, made by the owner – since everything is from local food sources (eggs, bacon, syrup, French toast), uniquely tasty – I sat by the wood stove with a view of snow covered fields, mountain side, etc.
Apparently all of the rooms are totally different - none alike, and lots with real or gas/propane fireplaces. This is an inn, which behaves more like a bed & breakfast, with a staff that is more like local friends than regimented servants. Very VT.
Great comfortable Vermont Inn with a great Inn Keeper. Spent two nights with my family and enjoyed the hospitality. Would recommend Layla's as well as the Wilmington/Diver area. I really enjoyed chilling in front of the fire place.
Layla’s is a great place. Is is very comfortable and welcoming. We Enjoyed our time there meeting the other guests and getting to know Sandy. Beware....chatting with everyone at breakfast will prevent you from getting first tracks.
It was great to bring Bailey our chocolate lab, she quickly made friends with Layla and Stella and then later in the day she made two more friends when Atlas and Bo arrived.
Looking forward to being back there soon!
Hi,
Im from Australia and i also just watched the show. Im blown away from the transformation you have achieved along with your staff. Im an animal lover too and respect what you have created. I wish you and the amazing staff all the best!
I've stayed here twice and plan on staying here later this summer with some friends. I never stayed there before the Hotel Hell episode, but my wife, our dog, and I love the place and how caring staff and Sandy are. I would definitely recommend!
Just got home from a wonderful stay at Layla's. Sandy truly makes you feel like you are home. Breakfast every morning was spectacular!! Stella and Layla made our stay complete. We loved being greeted by them every time we walked through the door. We cannot wait to return!! Thank you Sandy!!!!! Love your new friends Ashley and Patrick

Just finished up a 3 day stay at Laylas. Everything was amazing. We had an awesome breakfast every morning and a great, cozy room that was perfect for our family. Buster was treated like a king and has 2 new buddies!! We also had dinner there and it was Delish!! Thanks to Sandy for a great stay.
As usual another amazing weekend at Layla's. I highly recommend it. We will be returning for year three at the inn. Thanks Sandy for sharing your dogs with me once again and being such a great host.
Everything was amazing the rooms are nice they have an amazing chef the food is to die for. I have to come back soon lots of fun
