We understood that there was breakfast, but there was none - only snacks that were available in cannisters. We were promised a room overlooking the lake, but there was none - the inn is far from the lake. The room was clean and lovely. I can't say anything about the service because there was none - the reception was closed when we arrived, and when we left. In sum, pretty building, nice furniture, comfy bed, but overpriced.

Stay here if you possibly can! The grounds are so peaceful and beautiful, the food was great, there's a fun bike ride down to the ferry, country walking on trails, pretty farmland, and an astonishing, amazing, truly unbelievable host.

Restaurant recommendation was the best!
The host was a lovely person who made the stay worthwhile. Recommended a fabulous restaurant for dinner - best part of stay. Bed was very noisy; creaked when getting in/out and with movements causing disruptive sleep. Although website advertises air conditioning, the control was in one location so it was basically nonexistent making for a warm stay. Room had fans but still warm. False advertising re air conditioning. Very early in morning (4 am) a loud machine kicked on waking us. Thought it was the house AC but uncertain. Bathroom was small but adequate. Curtain was too short so water ran out onto flooring. Breakfast was continental style and adequate. Restaurant and host were the two positives; wouldn't stay there again due to inability to get a decent night's rest.

Re staff and service, we never saw a single human being from the property. There was no one to check us in and no one around at all during the breakfast hour? Everything was self serve and fine, but one does like some human contact. How do they build relationships otherwise?

Small Inn south of Burlington
The room was small. It had a Queen size bed and a small bathroom. No TV, refrigerator or microwave were in the room. There was a small common refrigerator in the hallway. There was no ice available. The free breakfast was good with coffee, yogurt, Chex cereal, and fruit.

Great!
Great stay! The house was very clean and very quiet. Beautiful property and worth it if you don't want to stay in Burlington proper; it's super close to go into Burlington if you want to. Would book again.

Definitely not worth the cost
Very strange place. Hard to open front door (appears locked) and no one around. Windows in room sealed shut on second floor (fire violation?) and non responsive A/C, ceiling fan helped however. No breakfast as advertised, other than stale cereal in a big jar that sat out the entire stay (finally tried some-yuck). No ice available. Only TV was in common area right next to owners area so felt uncomfortable even using it. Dimly lit driveway hard to find at night. Last day no coffee provided as I was only guest left. There was a non functioning keurig however. Place looks pretty but was frankly creepy. I hate leaving this type of review but for the cost it was terrible. I have been coming to UVM for events and visits the last 6 years and stayed in many places yet none approached this level of lack of value and comfort. Absolutely my worst Burlington stay in 6 years. Would not recommend under any circumstances no matter how far from UVM you have to go. Sorry to be so blunt but it is an honest review

This was our first time staying in a Bed and Breakfast and this place was great! The grounds and hotel are well kept and beautiful and the owner was on site and accessible if needed. Our room was a little small, but very nice with a private bathroom. Breakfast was a continental breakfast in a bag, but that could be because of COVID…I’m not sure. Overall I would highly recommend this property.
