A Delightful Place to Stay in Southwestern Vermont
The inn is old and doesn't offer the luxury of other inns and B&Bs in the area. But it was still a wonderful place to stay at a very good value. Michael, the owner, could not have been more attentive to our needs. He made a fantastic breakfast for us every day (as well as scrumptious cookies) that exceeded in both quality and quantity what one typically gets from more expensive inns & B&Bs. In addition, the room and bed were very comfortable and the shower was perfect. The inn was a short drive from Manchester and many good restaurants. I definitely recommend it.
A delightful treasure. What a special place. Everything from the food to the interior design was fantastic. We came upon this Inn at the last minute and called it our happiest accident. Highly recommended.
Very charming house with a friendly owner and pianos. Fantastic experience.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Agreed with all comments about the exceptional home made style breakfast. However, the second night there was a group playing guitar and singing. With over 200 years house, this was not welcomed especially after a tiring long ski day. Phoned hotel and also Expedia on that same night but both myself and Expedia could not get hold off host for resolution. Got to know next Morning that the voicemail probably was played and heard but did not take action. These days with many craziness in the news, we as guest cannot confront with another group on our own to take risk especially with kids.
Our hosts Mike & Kevin were great. They took great care of use. Our room was very nice and the breakfasts were delicious. We enjoyed our stay and will return. We have found our place to stay when we come to Manchester,VT. Doug&Priscilla Shanks
We felt at home the minute we walked through the door thanks to Michael and the coziness of the Inn. There was a fire in the fireplace and cookies on the table. Our accommodations were lovely and breakfast the next day, made by Kevin with many local ingredients, was delicious! Already thinking about excuses to come back!
