Beautiful property, I highly recommend staying here! The staff are so friendly and welcoming. Our room, the Lady’s Slippers suite, was fantastic. Breakfast was very good, and dinner in their restaurant was our best meal in Vermont yet!
We enjoyed sitting in the garden at sunset. Just an overall great place to stay!

It's located in one of the most lovely old New England towns that makes you feel like your on a movie set it's so perfect. The Inn itself is very nice with lovely gardens, ponds and a scenic view to Mount Equinox in the distance

Special treat
Loved the spacious room, huge bathroom and view out our window of Mt Equinox.
And the breakfast basket in the morning was a perfect start to the morning.
Thank you for all the hospitality. Wonderful place to stay.

Nice room
Easy check-in - lovely room. Found the beds a bit too hard for our liking. Nice way to do the breakfast by ordering the night before and they were able to accommodate the allergy. It was a shame that the restaurant was closed the night we were there.

I had made the reservation on a sunday hoping to have dinner, but found out later that the restaurant was closed on Sunday. We were looking foward to the food. The place was lovely. I guess we will have to come back for the food

Check in lady was a sweetheart. Lovely property. Great! Room!. Great bed. Bedding a little too short-- suspect it's a California king with regular king bedding. We'll definitely return.

Beautifully maintained property and building. All the little things that add up. Cookies in your room. Plush bathrobes. Breakfast delivered to your room in a picnic basket each morning. Fresh juice and coffee. Only downside it had to end and us to leave.

An old building, a bit rickety, steep narrow stairs. We were not in the main part of the inn, but in what seemed to be an old house modified for two story use. The staff was courteous and pleasant. There was not really enough parking for everyone. We would not choose this inn again.
