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.

Plenty of parking too, and a stoplight right at the exit to make it easier to come and go! Breakfast isn't included though, and for the price point that was surprising.

You can book online in their website is over the phone. I guess you can use travel sites too, but I like booking direct. I chose the Woodland Room. It had a dancing bear, plaid theme. It was great. Breakfast was very good. People were helpful with suggestions of what to do in the area. I was driving to Maine, so I had limited time. They have some things of interest for fans of Newhart that they'll show you. Bob Newhart is great.

We wished we were here longer, we may see if there's a room on the way back to break up our trip. The property itself is beautiful, very historic. The rooms are clean, also beautifully decorated. The staff- this is where my 5 stars come into play, so accommodating, pleasant. We arrived at 8pm on a Sunday, well the town is pretty much shut down, they recommended a fabulous dinner spot still open. Then around 1130 when I realized there is no coffeemaker or microwave so I can have tea before bed, I found myself at the desk and she was beyond accommodating, she got me some hot water from the kitchen.. seems simple and small but you saved me a very sleepless night. This place including the staff are top notch!!

Would recommend bringing a tote bag for one or two night stays if you don't want to haul your suitcase up 3 flights of stairs. Suite was very cleaned, smelled decent, and the suite provided a home feel. No TVs in bedrooms, only living room. There are a few spots out back to park your car, but honestly, I felt safer parking out on the Main St. with lights on the street. Check-in and check-out was simply, no contact. Easy to find and everything was in working condition. I would definitely stay here again.

We selected the corner room #5 (aka The "Lilac Room" I believe?). The room offered a large Roku tv, fireplace, queen four post bed & ball and claw tub. The decor is comfortable and the room clean. We were the ONLY guests at the Inn this evening. Pretty cool. We started a fire (everything supplied), watched a bit of tv, found the bed quite comfortable and slept well. There is a Keurig coffee station on the floor supplied with coffee, cocoa and packaged biscotti for guests to enjoy anytime. We woke to enjoy our made to order breakfast (included) of blueberry pancakes, bacon, sausage patties, eggs (any style), home fries and fruit along with coffee, oj, cranberry juice and water. Sunny beautiful room. I highly recommend a visit. Very enjoyable stay!

I stumbled across this B&B when I couldn't find any other open places due to a large triathlon happening in the area and I couldn't be more pleased with this little gem! Miles is an excellent cook who will help make sure any dietary restrictions are met. They do their best to source as much ingredients locally as possible. Both have wonderful recommendations on the area if, like us, you are new to Middlebury and visiting friends who just moved to town a week ago. The rooms are absolutely adorable and you can tell they took great time and effort into designing and curating the B&B with attention and detail. We couldn't have asked for a better place to reset our heads and start our mornings for our weekend getaway!
