The owner is constantly making improvements such as new furniture for the rooms, updating the mattresses, adding keyless entry locks, or even finding a gorgeous antique or new piece of art. It definitely shows that this Inn is a labor of love! You will not be disappointed!

I loved the amenities, like Lake Champlain chocolates and a small bottle of maple syrup, all the amazing parts of Vermont were there to welcome me in my room. I also thought the self-check in was great so I didn't have to see a single person during my entire stay so I felt safe COVID wise. Highly recommend!

Dinner started with an anchovy amuse-bouche that had a nice savory taste. They even offered a free glass of champagne for my birthday. The grilled octopus was nice and light, and the cauliflower was okay with the dish. It was a smaller potion, but left room for the remaining courses. The tagliatelle was cooked well and the tomatoes and mushrooms added nicely to the dish. This was a nice sized portion, and definitely filling. The chocolate raspberry tart was more on the chocolatey side. Maybe my least favorite course from those I had, but nonetheless still good. The check came with petit four which was a nice touch. My waiter, Sergiu, was delightful and made me feel welcome the entire time. I really enjoyed my dinner here and would look to return.

We arrived on Friday morning prior to check in time, and the staff got us situated in the cozy front common room with a roaring fire and yummy cappuccinos. When it was time to check in, a nice man offered to start a fire for us in the wood burning stove in our room. And he did it multiple times throughout our stay. Everyone throughout the weekend was so wonderful, but we specifically remember Mehnaz and Amelie. They work hard, bring positive energy, and do it all with a smile. The food was also excellent. We had dinner at both restaurants and really enjoyed each experience. The breakfast was also top notch and I wish I could replicate the bacon they serve. Overall, 20/10 stars... we cannot wait to come back! Getting married this fall in Waitsfield and planning on spending the night after our wedding at the Pitcher Inn. Highly recommend!

Karim and Isabelle are outstanding, classy innkeepers who welcomed us in when we showed up early at their door, frazzled after a white-knuckle drive from Burlington VT on an icy sleet-and-snow morning. We stayed in the spotless, spacious Willard Room, with the cheerful ambiance of an indoor covered bridge. Enjoyed the simple joy of fresh flowers in the room. It was cozy and calming in the downstairs library, with Karim's mellow, curated playlist in the background. Yummy breakfasts, cooked to order. We loved it here and want to come back again (but maybe not in winter!)

Our suite was incredible, with a two-person sauna that we used every single day. The bed was super comfortable, and the entire inn was beautifully designed with so many thoughtful details throughout.

I think we also had a sampling of the Shelburne Farms cheddar cheese which is amazingly delicious. Although the brunch is somewhat pricey (but reasonable compared to dinner), you are paying for the location and gorgeous view of Lake Champlain in the backyard of the Inn. Overall, service was pretty good at brunch and attentive, but our reservation was near the end of the brunch period. It's well worth taking pictures outside if the weather is nice. Before you enter the dining room, be sure to visit the sitting room. The Inn has a pleasant, historic vibe and elegant charm with portraits of Lila Vanderbilt Webb in the sitting room. This Yelp review is just for the brunch at the Inn (we did not stay overnight).

We arrived at 8pm on a Sunday, well the town is pretty much shut down, they recommended a fabulous dinner spot still open.

We arrived on Monday (Indigenous Peoples Day) so most people were wrapping up their long weekend. While it was still fairly busy, we never felt it impacted our experience. I was even able to work on a job application! The hotel itself is gorgeous, with many spots to capture mesmerizing photos of nature & people. The rooms are more traditional & country house/cottage style which also fits the aesthetic many young women want on a trip to arguably one of the best New England towns. The hotel is its own landmark/tourist destination as you'll constantly see groups lining up at the front to get a glimpse & small photoshoot session of the iconic facade!
