We had a sensational stay at Taraden. We stayed in the West Wing Suite (it even has a separate room for a potential Bennington College
student on a family college visit). There is also a private cottage on the grounds. Everything in our suite was immaculate. The sheets were heavenly.The bathroom even had a clawfoot tub. When you stay at Taraden, It feels as if you are staying at your own private horse farm, with the added benefit of warm, welcoming hosts and a scrumptuous, unpretentious full breakfast served in a spectacular sunroom. Our breakfast included a Vermont cheddar cheese omelette, asparagus, fresh fruit and homemade apple cobbler.

The property is gorgeous and absolutely peaceful, perfect for a morning or evening stroll. We plan to return as soon as we can.

We came over to Vermont from the UK to visit our daughter. We stayed at 2 other B & Bs before coming across the amazing Taraden. We were made to feel so very welcome by Nan & Bob, who are justly proud of their beautiful home. We ate fantastic, hearty breakfasts in the conservatory overlooking the picturesque pond, and watched the colourful, wild birds feeding. The trees were in full Spring blossom, and there was a wonderful view beyond of the green pasture where the horses grazed. The West Wing is a very comfortable suite and we are looking forward to trying the Cottage next time we visit, for we most certainly will return. When we left we felt we were leaving behind two very good friends.

We stayed here for 3 days and this was one of, if not the best B & B that we have ever stayed at. The location is scenic Vermont, the grounds (20 acres) are peaceful, tranquil and picturesque. The home is spacious as is each of the 3 suites, each with a full bath. We stayed in the Night pasture suite and our daughter & son-in law stayed in the West Wing. We also toured the Cottage suite which is a separate bldg adjacent to the main home and perfect for a honeymooning couple (or any other couple for that matter). All the suites are newly renovated in soft colors and modern baths. This is a new B & B, (09/06) in a 100 year old home with large open airy rooms, that we felt comfortable in from the moment we walked thru the door. The owners greeted us and made us feel welcome instantly. They provide a full breakfast in the large glass sunroom with views overlooking a small pond and the many birch & crabapple trees, not to mention the horses in the field beyond the barns. The breakfast included a heaping bowl of fresh fruit, eggs, bacon or sausage, and other scrumptious items,
excellent !
We agreed that we will return to check on what they have done with the property in the future. We wish them good luck !
