The Boulders Inn, New Preston

I love the Boulders Inn. It is a charming and relaxing get away. The food is excellent and the staff is very friendly and accommandating. The sunsets at the lake are amazing. I can't wait to go there again. I highly recommend The Boulders to all.

I'm happy that Yahoo has now a place to write a review for this inn because I was angry that this place could be so pricey and have such bad service. I've stayed at many hotels and inns in my life, and thought that this would be a peaceful serene experience. The location is beautiful-- but once you're exposed to the toxic staff (especially the Manager-- don't complain, she'll just get angry!) you want to leave as fast as possible. For $450 a night my expectations might have been high (I expected to be able to have room service when their dining room was closed-- call me crazy-- and a lawn mover outside my window at 7:30 a.m. just added insult to injury). For the same price I can stay at the Relais Chateau up in the Adirondaks and feel like I've been to heaven and back.

Setting is indeed pretty, but as someone in the community so aptly put it "Boulders Inn is a shame to the community". Can they really be charging these prices?! Their staff is incompetent, surly and the manager is rude-- and when we are paying $450 for the night I expect her to change out of her sweats before coming to work!! For the price of a round trip ticket to Paris we got a room without a view, were told we could not get room service and when we asked for a cup of tea in the front lobby got the tea without a cup! Even the food in the restaurant was o.k. and that too was the price of a dinner at the Four Seasons in NYC! The only good thing about this place are their beds-- for the money go next door to the Mayflower Inn-- for the same price you'll have a proper luxury experience!
