We stayed at M.L.I. from 12/19/11 - 12/22/11. This was our second stay at this beautiful B & B in Barnard, VT. We honestly cannot think of anything but positive things to stay about this place. The inn is absolutely immaculate with large, comfy rooms (most have fireplaces), radiant heat in the bathroom floors, the most comfortable bedding we have ever slept in, and beautifully decorated, cozy common areas.
Mike & Nancy are wonderful innkeepers who truly make their guests feel at home. They have found the perfect balance - so helpful and attentive but never intrusive. Small details make a big impression- "gifts" on the pillows, chocolates & homemade cookies greet guests at the door, & complimentary wine or beer in the afternoon. We got engaged during our stay and found a lovely card congratulating us left on our bed that evening. They are also extremely helpful with finding local activities and dining spots.
There are a wide variety of coffee and teas available 24 hours. A pantry upstairs contains a small fridge for guest use as well as some snacks and beverages. Nancy's three-course breakfasts are delicious! Something different every morning, sweet & savory, served with a smile.
We have only been to the M.L.I. in the winter, which is beautiful, as this whole area of VT looks like something out of a Christmas postcard. We look forward to coming back as often as possible and enjoying each season. There is a large wraparound porch with rocking chairs as well as a firepit with adirondack chairs in the yard - must be great in the summertime!
Highly recommended!
