If you moved even a little we thought we'd wake other guests- pillows comfortable-this room faces the road- there was a lot of traffic- idling- loud music- they were painting the road at night so we figured that's why so much traffic- was our first time here- next time we'll be requesting a garden view room- live and learn. Accomodations were clean- breakfast in the morning was delicious-the coffee was very good. The website mentioned paths in the back- nice walk on side of lake- not epic- no need to do that- grounds I'm sure are gorgeous when all is in bloom- parking- very tight spaces- there are exact amount of spots for guests- to maneuver can be tricky at times- so pull into driveway slow! We will be back when in the area.

I have almost forgotten how wonderful it can be to stay in a great B&B, and this one certainly…read morerestored my passion for it -- and then some. From the street it looked like a charming New England B&B and there are plenty of those in the area. What sets this particular one apart, in my opinion, are the following: * At the back of this charming home is a beautifully crafted, lush garden with a hammock and benches placed in strategic nooks designed for optimal book-reading or daydreaming. At the top of the small hill is a pergola -- for more daydreaming, or if you are a bride-to-be looking for a romantic venue, this tops the cake. * The added bonus: you get your own entrance to a walking trail (please see picture below) that connects to a network of trails. It's beautiful now in the the summer time. I imagined how much more beautiful it will be in autumn. I must come back. * The breakfasts are to die for!! Imaginative and definitely gourmet. BTW, I had stayed in some expensive hotels before (the Four Seasons, etc.) -- in my opinion, this B&B's breakfast is better. Way, way better. On my first day, the second course was freshly-baked frittata with a side of steamed kale and zucchini -- picked from their garden. The cheese had just the right gooey to it, and the eggs were fluffy. Day 2: French-toasted croissant filled with creamy custard and drizzled with maple-orange syrup. Yum! * The Owner, Lynn is a wonderful person who had lived in Brattleboro for a very long time and knows its ins and outs -- from where to get great cheese to Brattleboro's unique home architectures. Engaging when a guest needed help and wonderfully welcoming. Yet, I always felt I had my privacy. She has mastered how to be a great host. BTW, the rooms are clean and well kept with a touch of history and modern amenities -- for example: I had a double shower head (a rain shower and a handheld). One last thing: In a hotel or an Airbnb, I always felt unsafe -- locked and double locked. In contrast, in the three days that I stayed here, I left my windows open at night to feel the cool evening breezes from the garden, and during the day, I left my door unlocked while I ate breakfast at the dining room. Priceless. I would come back for the breakfast, or the garden and walking trails, or the wonderfully warm, welcoming atmosphere -- better still, get all three. This one is definitely worth going back to again and again whenever I find myself looking for a great place to stay in Vermont. Highly recommended!

From the moment you walk in you are treated with warm hospitality by the owners Judy & Phil along with their staff. Something that stands out is the staff have been the same, which speaks for the owners. I can't say enough about how friendly, accommodating, and welcoming, everyone. We stayed in the main building, in rooms 17, 15, 12 & 14 all have cozy accommodations that are spacious and very clean. Room 15 was a two-room suite with a gas fireplace that we enjoyed in the evening. Room 14 also has a gas fireplaced that we enjoyed. Our favorite room is 12 on the first floor with a private balcony. All the rooms have very comfortable beds, and each room has a small refrigerator. Each of these rooms all had a view of the mountains in the background. Breakfast is included and is served in the lovely dining room. Thersa is very friendly and always ensures we have everything. Breakfast starts with fresh baked muffins and fruit. There is always a selection for breakfast from eggs, omelets and either French toast, waffles or pancakes. I have enjoyed different omelets, the Cinnamon French toast, waffles w/strawberries and blueberry pancakes served with warm maple syrup that comes from a local farm. In the afternoon you can relax by the fireplace in the parlor and enjoy a cup of coffee or tea with a variety of fresh baked cookies that are set up for your enjoyment. I highly recommend having dinner in the dining room that is right on the premises at least one night during your stay. The chef prepares great meals, and the menu has a very nice selection. Service has always been exceptional. There is a nice selection of wine, beer and specialty cocktails to choose from. I would highly recommend taking a ride to the "Vermont Country Store" during your stay. The store brought us back to our childhood with the nostalgic toys, rows of penny candy and the original tins of "Charlie chips and much more! Judy and Phil, along with all their staff, are very kind and caring. Thank you all very much for a lovely stay. See you on our next stay. Kathy & Ray Milford, CT

As a regular traveler and even more frequent reader of travel reviews, I am very familiar with (and…read morehave experienced) many stereotypes. The one this time is highly unpleasant initial contact that precludes staying there. The promise of a few relaxing days reduced the sting of resigning myself to paying $300/night for the "privilege" of a private bath; although all accommodations go for more than $200/night, only two of the six options have private baths. (The slightly less expensive option than mine was booked for my desired dates). Two are small one-room spaces that they advertise as cottages but seem more to be sheds. Neither have any plumbing and require using common facilities for guests in the main house. Reaching an innkeeper was rough to begin with. He then kept misstating my desired dates and told me that they could later adjust it. I let that go and hoped for the best. The breaking point was discussing my arrival time. I understood and respected that check in time was 3:00 pm. I truly did not think that ask to arrivie at 10 am on a Saturday morning in mid-September and happily either leaving my luggage in the car or leaving it behind the desk at the B n B until my room was ready and quietly enjoying the property was unreasonable. I was not counting on my room even being empty then but figured that it likely would be. The innkeeper got upset and told me that they still would have been serving breakfast (to no more then 12 guests, some of whom likeky already would have started their day) and could not even think about "assimilating" a guest at that time, He fully knew that I was not expecting any attention beyond a "hey" and maybe a handshake at that time. I told him to forget it and hung up; despite having my telephone number and e-mail, he made no effort at damage control even to the point of a quick apology that they did not want me there that early. My subsequent call to at least leave things on a friendlier note went unanswered. Subsequent conversations with a couple of travel agents, two friends who regularly travel, and a friend who is an award-winning travel agent confirmed my sense that my request was very reasonable, This is aside from the owners arguably charging at least 2x what they should. As an aside, I NEVER have had a hotel or inn keeper deny a request to show up early and amuse myself until my room was ready.
