“Artistic and comfortable”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 October 2011

If you like to take refuge from your hectic city life or personal problems, the best place to do in Barsen House Inn. The owners, Daphne and Pete, are very open-minded and hospitable people and they are so very much attentive and supporting to your vacation preferences and plans. This inn is quite small, only three guest bedrooms, so you get personal attention you would not find in any other place. The house is artistically and comfortably done with a very beautiful garden outside; every window in the house creates a perfect picture of nature as a border-less extension outside. Walk in the garden immediately calms you down and brings into a blissful meditation. The rooms are impeccable with very comfortable bathroom. Every night is a soft dream.
Every chair inside or outside (some of them made by Pete and represent an incredible craftsmanship) embraces you gently and you gradually fall asleep on a book you are unsuccessfully trying to read. When the sun goes down Pete masters the campfire under the stars. With a glass of wine and fire under the open sky you feel yourself a celestial being.
I know it might sound childish but I also have to share my fascination with Barsen’ chicken house that is so well thought and incredibly cute like a little toy home surrounded by vegetables and flowers. I have never even seen a chicken house to be so clean, efficient and still so beautiful. It made me wish to move to country and to raise my own chickens when retired. By the way, there is no roaster here; and sleep is quite. Fresh eggs for breakfast; and you can get lucky to pick your own!!! I highly recommend Barsen House and I am sure you will find your own fascination here because it is a unique place.

“Gorgeous B&B, spotlessly clean & welcoming”

This was our second trip to the Barsen House Inn. Peter and Daphne are perfect hosts, engaging, intelligent, friendly and present but not invasive. We loved sitting out by the fire pit in the evening with a bottle of wine. We brought our bicycles and enjoyed riding to Middlebury, Vergennes, and Basin Harbor.

“Wonderful weekend”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 June 2010

person found this review helpful

I just spent a weekend at the Barsen House Inn and was throughly impressed by the establishment. The food was fantastic and the rooms were well decorated and comfortable. The firepit in the evening was the most relaxing part of the trip and I enjoyed visiting parts of Vermont that were reccommended by the owners. The weather was exceptional which made exploring the grounds more fun and all the nature surrounding the inn was fabulous.

“perfect choice for area”

wonderful inn, with excellent collection of art works by various Vermont artists. We loved the beautiful, hand-crafted wood furniture by artist/owner Peter and the delicious breakfasts by hostess/owner Daphne. Both Peter and Daphne were very congenial and helpful with all of our questions. Highly recommended.
