John and Cheryl bowled us over with their hospitality. They started off delivering a delicious welcome charcuterie, answered every question that we had about the area with great recommendations, provided an excellent breakfast from nearby Dot's, and just did everything in their power to ensure our stay was wonderful. Even Zeus, their big old golden-doodle bear of a dog, was friendly and welcoming! All the rooms and common places were immaculate. The facility was recently renovated and my wife went on and on about how well Cheryl had decorated it. Before covid my wife & I traveled a lot, and we both agree that this was the finest B&B we'd ever stayed in, including our trip to Ireland a couple of years ago. Thanks John & Cheryl (and Zeus) - we will be back!

Unbelievable B&B in Vermont! In Norman Rockwell's house and painting studio!…read moreBest breakfast ever served by the owner/ manager Kevin.

The NEATEST…read more Honestly, such a quiet, calm, serene tiny Vermont-ish 'mansion' that once belonged to renowned artist/painter Norman Rockwell. The house is two-stories and on large grassy grounds surrounded by simple houses, churches and tall trees. Rockwell's Retreat as it's called, is for rent to folks and couples for celebrations & weekend getaway. It serves as a kind of rural Vermont B&B, prices are found online. Inside are large chambers, bright living spaces, a fire place, windows with scenic views, exercise rooms, kitchen bedroom chambers and a deck out front. Artist Norman Rockwell came here to paint the rolling hills and hone his crafted arts, details and painting! Beautiful meandering hikes and views. 5

Incredible centuries-old inn, rich in history and coziness. I understand there are two innkeepers…read morebut we only met Michael during our stay, and he couldn't have been a more welcoming and kind host. He also recommended we eat dinner in nearby Manchester at Ye Olde Tavern, which was also amazing. The inn itself is gorgeous and well-decorated. The common areas are very inviting. There's a fireplace and stove in the first room, with another stove in the dining room. There's plenty of board games, puzzles, and books to keep yourself entertained if you find yourself wanting to stay in or the weather outside is not inviting (or you just feel like soaking in the incredible atmosphere of the place). There's two pianos in the house, both of which are well-maintained and encouraged to be played. We got to enjoy hearing Michael rehearse some church music one morning after breakfast, and he's quite talented! The house sits at the foot of Mt. Equinox and is right next to the Batten Kill River. We were there during November and got to enjoy some pretty snow and cozy heat inside, but during the summer I'm sure this is a great getaway too. There's just so much to do. The breakfasts were delicious, starting with yogurt (one morning was locally-sourced yogurt, the other used Icelandic skyr) topped with fresh fruit and homemade granola. This was followed up by something more substantial: one morning had eggs, cinnamon-raisin waffles, the best bacon I've ever had, and a generous amount of Vermont maple syrup. The next morning had eggs, a delicious potato-and-sausage mix, and homemade maple muffins. All my girlfriend and I have been thinking since leaving Ira Allen House is, "when can we come back?" If I could give this place six stars, I would.

This area of Vermont doesn't have much lodging choice except B&Bs and ski resort condos so for value, this one is worth it. Very convenient- on Rte 30 on the way to Stratton Mountain, Bromley Mountain, Magic Mountain, Manchester outlets, etc. My room and adjoining bathroom were small and quaint but clean and very comfortable. Breakfast is in their restaurant area- delicious food. We didn't try their dinner but it smelled great- apparently, they are a gourmet, multi-star restaurant. They also had afternoon wine & cheese. Owners and staff are really nice and go out of their way to make you feel welcome (it's a little jarring when you travel from city life- at first, you wonder why people are so nice!). An example was breakfast our first morning- we planned to leave for Stratton early without a sitdown breakfast and told the owners ahead of time not to expect us. In the morning, Ed had warm blueberry muffins that he ran out to us as we were packing our car...they were the best muffins I've ever tasted! Note to those who can't do without some modern conveniences- most rooms and their common rooms don't have televisions (yes, it's an old rustic inn in Vermont but if you're stuck inside without a book, it's nice to have the choice to use modern technology). The inn does have a couple of portable DVD players they will lend you if available. There's also spotty cell phone service in this area b/c of the mountains. Great for quiet getaways, ski trips (with the focus on skiing and relaxing), basically, for enjoying Vermont. I'll post an update after my March stay.

To start, our room was immaculate; upon entering our room, we were greeted with homemade shortbread cookies and flower petals on our bed to commemorate our fifth anniversary. Our room was perfectly clean and the bed was beyond comfortable. There were just so many little things that the inn had thought of- from Diptique toiletries to the most comfortable bathrobes laid out for us. After arriving, we spent the day meandering around the quaint town of Weston. Once the evening arrived, we arrived at the amazing Left Bank. The front desk helped us organize our reservation. One of the most enjoyable parts of our evening was finding out that the restaurant has their own sommelier to help us find the right wine! We had a cheese platter to start, steak frites, as well as ice cream and chocolate mousse for dessert. It was all divine! Once the evening winded down, the inn had everything to make us have a nice, relaxing, evening. We sat by the fire outside for some time and enjoyed the tranquility of the Weston. The next day, we were greeted with homemade blueberry muffins and coffee. We also stoped by their bakery, where they had a plethora of delicious breakfast and lunch options, such as farro salad and homemade rotisserie chicken. We are so sad to leave the Weston and will definitely be back soon. The highlight of our stay was: the amazing staff, impeccable attention to detail, delicious food, and the quaint town of Weston. This was one of the best stays I've had and cannot wait to return!

They were there when I needed them, but also gave the perfect amount of space and distance, even for an inn as quaint as this one. The location is very ideal, it's only a short walk (which I did twice) to the Vermont Country Store, and even though they're closed, it's just few more steps to the Playhouse and Theater Company. I'm a sucker for beautiful Millwork, and the room I stayed in was built so perfectly it felt like it was handcrafted. I'm attaching 2 pictures to show how detailed it was, and with all that detail there's an extra layer of soundproofing which is excellent because I was working remotely during the day. Along with that, the wifi was very fast and had no lags for video calls. From there, it's shut laptop, head downstairs to The Left Bank for a meal and a drink.

This bed and breakfast gets everything right! Each room with its lovely antiques and original paintings is unique. Our suite was spacious and very comfortable. Mark, our host, was just delightful. He cooked us a delicious breakfast. When we went to get in our car to leave, my husband discovered a flat tire. Since my husband has a bad back, Mark changed the tire. He did it in record time, too. My husband and I travel a lot so we have stayed in many places. This inn is definitely one of the best we have ever stayed in. You just can't beat it! It is a winner!

The rooms in the motel are normal-sized; the inn rooms are pretty tiny. The walls are also pretty thin and my inn room smelled of dog. Everything was well-kept and clean however. The common area is a plus. Two fireplaces are going through the night and there is tea and coffee, popcorn, home-made cookies, board-games, books, a computer to use, and wi-fi. It is a very warm and inviting, smalltown feel that I really miss and was really soothing and enjoyable. The staff, innkeeper Jeff, and the dog + 2 cats are all really friendly. I was really surprised by the complimentary breakfast. They had two hot specials that they were making, as well as fresh fruit, pancakes, some sort of home-made bread at the table and they were really accommodating with much better service than you'd expect from a restaurant. After staying here it is very apparent that inns in upstate ny or in poconos, pa are no comparison to the ones in southern vermont. If you don't know the area, you should call for directions before setting out. Depending on road conditions you should avoid small roads, and you need to enter "RTE 100" instead of "ROUTE 100" in your GPS. 4.499 stars?
