The staff was very accommodating and the room was lovely. It is an older building so it has some quirks like an older bathroom…perfectly functional, but it is older. The bedroom was wonderfully spacious and very comfortable.

This is a beautiful old building and grounds. The room was generously sized but a bit cluttered. The front desk staff was very friendly.

The inn keeper was actually out on errands when we arrived and had our room key on the counter for us with a sweet little note. Our room was so cute and quaint, everyone from the inn was friendly and the breakfast options were delicious both days. Very quiet place and we'll definitely be back in the spring

The grounds are beautiful with gorgeous flowers and nice walkways. The stroll to downtown was enhanced by a farmers market going on every Friday. The TVs are difficult to figure out with multiple remotes, and no info. in the rooms as to how to use them?!? Overall a great place to stay with a wonderful breakfast and helpful staff. We hope to return again! Thank u!

Relaxing at the Inn

We enjoyed our one night at the Inn. We relaxed on the front porch in the morning, enjoying the flowers and landscaping. Behind the Inn is a large garden/park area that we did not have time to explore but it looked very nice as we walked though it from the Inn to the parking area. The breakfast area was bright and comfortable. The breakfast options were just right for us. Our room on the second floor was spacious and well-decorated. We would have preferred a walk-in shower instead of the tub/shower combination due to the height of the tub. The neighborhood was pleasant, just a short distance to the center of Brandon.

One of Brandon, VT's gems

Spacious room, comfortable bed, delicious breakfast, comfortable atmosphere. Very home like and nostalgic charm, decor throughout brought back to the turn of the 20th century with modern needs met. Setting is appropriate for intimate gatherings such as weddings or a quiet place for couples to relax.
