I just attended my best friends wedding this past weekend. We had a total of 16 people for the ceremony and dinner. Jay and John were beyond spectacular hosts and their staff Jenny, Emme, and others were equally as helpful. Jay helped with flower arrangements, justice of the peace, and cake. The appetizer was an authentic antipasto. The dinner was delicious homemade minestrone, salad, and white lasagna (made by Jenny.) The cake was made by Fresh Betty a little bakery/pizza/sub cafe/shop across the street (Also, highly recommended) Breakfasts were superb. Blueberry pancakes on Saturday, with additional options of eggs, bacon, fresh fruit, yogurt, strong cups of coffee, and orange juice. Day Two was Apple Cinnamon waffles with other options listed above but the meat choice was sausage. They focus on supporting the local economy so they try to get the majority of their ingredients, produce, etc. from local farmers. Conversations were with Jay were charming and full of sharp wit.
The B&B itself was spectacular. Tasteful and celebratory collections of antiques and figurines, portraits that made you laugh and others that made you smile and say 'ahhhh, thats so sweet.'
My friends and I stayed in the bull dog suite which located in the carriage house behind the main house. It was a two bedroom suite with one queen and 2 twin beds and sitting area. It was charming - stocked with homemade cookies a detailed binder about the inn and the town/surrounding area, movies, fireplace. jacuzzi tub, and plush terry cloth robes for all 4 of us. The beds were plush and full of oversized pillows.
Its mid-February, but I would go back to visit at any time of year. If you a seeking out a very personal experience that is full of laughter, good stories, excellent service, and delicious food, there is no other B&B in Vermont possibly in the Northeast that I would recommend more highly.
