Starlite Motel

We had a fantastic experience at the Starlite Motel. Close to Belleayre — Clean rooms, breakfast basket and kitchenette were all a plus! It was a home away from home. The rates are affordable and I will definitely return. I can’t wait to come back in the summer!

We actually own a house across the road from the Starlite, but whenever we have too many visitors (which seems to happen a lot), we send the overflow to the Starlite, and everyone always loves it. Very friendly owner. Super cute, clean rooms with a little kitchenette. A huge basket of goodies to eat in the morning. A beautiful backyard. Wifi and streaming movie channels. You can’t ask for more.

I was totally satisfied with my stay here this summer. It’s really cute, charming, clean & well kept, complete with a small kitchenette. You get a breakfast basket each morning stocked with bagel, muffin, cereal, etc — great for getting a quick start to your day. The owner was very friendly and helpful, I’d definitely stay here again.

My group and I had the most wonderful experience with the Starlite Motel. We were forced to abandon ship at a nearby campsite during torrential downpours. We were up for a weekend from Brooklyn, so we waited until the last possible minute to make the call and decamped to town to assess our options. We had a terrible experience at the first two places (a restaurant and a gentrifying hickster motel) we walked into — the people there could barely stand to look at us long enough to deny us any help or even suggestions on other places we might check out.
Luckily, we went to the nearby Peekamoose Restaurant and then found the Starlite Motel on Google. Keep in mind, it was a Saturday night, and there were 8 of us, so our hopes were low. Peekamoose really went out of their way without batting an eye to welcome us and give us a wonderful, creative, delicious meal.
When we first called the Starlite, the lovely person at reception first said they only had one room. But then she asked how many people we had, and when we said 8 she said that they happened to have a rental house nearby and would let us stay for just one night — and all this for almost less than double per couple of any of the nearby motels we checked out!
All this and sincere hospitality as well. The lady at the desk of the motel let us follow her in her car the short distance to the house (it was still pouring), and then came back with a basket of fruit, bagels, milk, tea and coffee for the next morning (because the store wouldn’t open until check-​out time). The house had everything — including a terrific covered back deck with comfortable furniture for lounging.
We found the Starlite by happenstance and in somewhat trying circumstances, but I would love to stay here again (and eat at the wonderful Peekamoose down the road). Thank you, Starlite!

This is the best little motel! Normally when I think of a motel I think of the generic econo lodge type place. Not the case with the Starlite. The room was well decorated and there was such attention to detail. I loved how the kitchen had everything you could need including a wonderful little breakfast basket. Each room also has its own weber grill and table in case you are in the grilling mood. My boyfriend and I thought it would be nice to sit by the fire on a cool fall day so we built a fire in the fire pit which was all set up with wood, lighter fluid and lighters (there were also goodies for making smores but we had to head to dinner at Peekamoose so we saved our appetite). We will definitely come back when it snows for ski season. However, this is a great place to stay year round.

I can’t say enough good things about the starlite motel. It’s the little things that make this place great. We were greeted our first day with a bag of marshmallows and a bundle of wood for the fire pit and a jug of milk, what more could you ask for. The breakfast basket which was replenished daily had more food than 2 people could handle. The rooms were spotless and the kitchen is a perfect bonus. Free WiFi, a roku so we could still watch Netflix even in the mountains. Do yourself a favor and stay here a few nights.

So we just spent a weekend at the Starlite Motel for a nearby wedding, there were 6 of us, and we booked two rooms. The rooms were awesome! You can tell that everything was recently redone and painted in warm and unique tones. 3 of our 4 beds had a memory foam mattress topper so the beds were very comfy. We got two baskets of breakfast foods (cereal, bagels, peanut butter) and the milk we used was replenished when the room was serviced. Having a kitchenette was super useful and although it was cold and snowy the backyard area looked like a fun hangout spot in warmer months. The coolest part was the roku boxes so we could watch netflix, hulu, hbo go or listen to pandora while we hung out between wedding events. The owner was super nice and you can tell that they really care about keeping their guests happy. We’ve even talked about going back for a stay in the summer just for fun.

Arrived on a Saturday afternoon in anticipation of our Sunday bicycle trip. We were welcomed with a wonderfully clean room with a breakfast basket and coffee ready to be brewed in the morning (and milk was also provided). TV and WI-​Fi provided, nice little kitchen with frig completely stocked for those who would like to cook in, bathroom was small be very clean. Back yard was wonderful… picnic tables, B-​B-​Qs, screen rooms, fire pit, candles, etc. Michelle was very pleasant and helpful (came out back and hooked up my iPhone to a powered speaker for us). Ahhh… fire, music, drinks! Nice! We’ll be back.
Also, Peekamoose down the road for some great dinner and drinks.

It’s not a five star hotel in the sense of a city or luxury hotel, but my friend and I were thrilled with the set up: a little kitchen with cutlery, etc., a fridge. Lots of little touches here and there that made my friend say, «Someone really loves this hotel.» There was a white bunny sunning himself on the lawn. We went through the muffin basket awfully quick. They think of everything.
Also, this place is near enough to Woodstock and hiking trails that you would have a very pleasant time looking around at all the sights and then come home to a place that feels quite like home.
We loved Peekamoose the restaurant which is somewhere in the area. Worth looking into.

My Girlfriend and I really loved this place. We went with 2 more couples. The owner Michelle and staff were very friendly. Each room gets fresh milk and a breakfast basket. It is only 10 mins away from a Freshtown market where you can get some fresh produce or some meet to cook on the grill in the backyard. I know that on these types of vacations you are supposed to be disconnected from the world and connected with nature but I was very excited when I saw they have a Roku in the room. For those of you who dont know what the Roku is, it is a Streaming media player just like Apple TV or WDTV. You can use your Pandora, Netflix or Amazon Prime account with it. If you have ever been to a trip in the mountains you’d know that there’s hardly any to NO phone signal. But dont worry. this place also has a Cell phone signal booster for Verizon and ATT.
We will be coming back :)

I stayed here for a week and if I were to ever visit Big Indian again, I’d definitely stay here. Each room is built like a cabin, equipped with how many ever beds you request, a television, a full kitchen, and bathroom. My favorite perks were the blow dryer, the backyard, and the bunnies they have running around the property. Room service is perfect and the staff are very helpful and polite.
The only drawback is the really bad wifi.
