I have stayed at this place few times over this past winter when i went skiing in VT. It is only 4.5 hrs away from NYC. Good location right off the road. Easy access, great owner. Nice clean rooms. Great prices especially if you are looking to for weekend skiing. Its is not a 5 star hotel, so please don't be misleaded. Yet, it is definately a 5 star motel.

Owner Barbara is nice and charming and will work with you to accomodate your needs. I will definately go back there again. Can't wait till next skiing season!!!!!!!!!

I spent one night at the magic view motel with 3 friends (all mid-20s) on January 9th. We were looking for a cheap place to stay, and were very happy. This motel is less expensive than others in the area, which means that the room was a bit small, there was a shower but no bath, and the tv was small and only had 13 channels. However, it was clean, warm, and comfortable. There is a game room in the basement with a bench to tune skis on, a pool table, ping pong table (net was damaged), board games and a couch where we spent an enjoyable hour. During ski season, a simple yet delicious breakfast is included. It is cooked to order, as the motel is too small to have a buffet. We paid $107 for a room with a double bed and a bunk bed (two twins) for a cost of $28 per person. Stratton mountain is 20 minutes away. There are a few restaurants 2 miles away in Londonderry. We were able to connect to high speed internet, but I'm not sure where the signal came from.

I took my boyfriend and his little brother skiing for the New Year. I did my shopping around and since I do not like to rely on pictures I call every location that seemed to be reasonable. I picked Magic motel based not only on price but the attitude of the people who answer the phone. When we arrived my man’s little brother realized he forgot his ski pants. We asked the landlord about where we can get any ski pants. Without a hesitation she offered us her sons own pants since there was no sense to buy new ones for 2 days. She also insisted that she will wash them first. The motel rooms were very cozy and clean with only 2 miles distance to the local Magic resort. They also advised us to go to the Magic Mountain since my man never skied. Since this is the resort mostly for the locals it has reasonable price, it’s less crowded, and is safer regarding teaching someone how to ski. Overall we were tremendously pleased with all the genuine welcoming approach we got from the Magic-family owned business. We will never forget these warm, good hearted, and hardworking people and can’t wait to come back again. Thank you!

Arrived at the Magic View for one night's stay during fall foliage season in Vermont and was hopeful based on the motel's Web site. Room was not large but cozy with wood paneling and access to a deck with views of Magic Mountain. I could have looked past the out-dated room decor (70s wallpaper in the bathroom) if the room was cleaner but I found hair on one of our pillows and the towels they gave us. They also forgot our bath towels and when they gave us some they were so small they were almost like hand towels. The bed was the worst feature of the room, however. We had our worst night's sleep ever on it - a firm mattress is nice but this was way beyond firm! We were also supposed to get breakfast in the morning for staying during peak season but they changed their tune and said it was not offered then despite what it said on their Web site. We won't be back.
