We really enjoyed our stay and will definitely stay again.

10/10 Excellent

I gave everything a five-star review, however this is an unstaffed property so the service I mentioned was related to housekeeping and whomever put out the breakfast. I never saw anyone, however, all communication I had with them via email was excellent. I also noted that I enjoyed the area. However, the restaurant at the hotel and all the restaurants in this immediate area are shut down from Easter until May 15th.

Lovely clean rooms with a continental breakfast within 8 mi of Jay Peak. We were only disappointed that the restaurant was closed Sun-Wed as we had looked forward to trying the food!

What a great little country inn. Friendly owner and staff. My room was comfortable and had a nice old fashioned charm to it. They also serve fantastic food, a real find.

This bed and breakfast was quiet and had great food. We did not like that there was a step into the bathroom. It was also not air conditioned and quite hot.

8/10 Good

Cool old building, well kept and clean. Just unhappy that the nights we stayed the pub was closed.
Douglas, 2-night trip

6/10 Okay

It was missing basics like kleenex and a paper cup. It hasa fair amount of noise being so close to the road.No hot water for taking z shower.

Autumn in Montgomery

No host, just our name with a key. Ladybug infestation was awful, but they were all over the state. Keurig coffee, canned juices, muffins and good yogurt on the bar in the morning. We didn’t have a chance to eat at the restaurant downstairs but the menu looked absolutely amazing!
Dawn, 2-night trip

8/10 Good

A little quaint……

Very quaint place. Check in was super easy as our room key was just sitting on a table when we walked in the door, with our room number on it (makes me wonder if there was another key already taken by a random person). The staircase was steep, narrow and STRAIGHT UP!! Wasn’t expecting that!! Glad we are not handicapped, as this was mentioned nowhere! Room was clean and comfortable, even had our own fireplace. However, the bathroom was TINY, then a light burned out so doing hair and makeup was a bit challenging also not enough towels, but nobody around to bring me any?!?! Restaurant downstairs was convenient but very mediocre at best. Our stay could’ve been worse, definitely wasn’t the best, but not many choices in this remote area

4/10 Poor

There were beetles and flies in our room flying all around the ceiling light and on the walls. When we tried to contact the proprietors there was no cell service, eventually, the text went through, but, we never heard back until we woke in the morning. Apologies were given for the inconvenience...also, we expected to stay in the Black Lantern Inn, not The Burdette House...heads-up would have been nice.
Nancy, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

neat Inn. loved our room

we certainly enjoyed our stay.. Dinner was downstairs. so after a long day of skiing it was pleasant to eat and go back to our room. I know it said continental breakfast. I guess I had a different idea of a continental breakfast. since we were the only 2 people in the Inn at the time I didn't expect hot food but there were no options. There was 2 tiny muffins and 2 yogurts. and fruit juice and coffee. No real fruit. And no live person... I heard someone downstairs but when we came down at 7:30 there was no one to help us out or ask for anything else My spouse ate both muffins because he hates yogurt . I got the yogurt.
MARGARET, 2-night trip

4/10 Poor

The room was clean but no instructions on how to use the television they had Xfinity. The website said that they had a fridge in the room no fridge for my sister's insulin so we kept buying ice the ice machine was in a different building not good. The hair dryer did not work yes it turned on but it turned bright Red and then turn off. The tub/shower had no bar handles the tub was slippery. Nice room but they need to upgrade on these things.
