The staff were wonderful; kind and attentive. They were welcoming to us and our pup throughout the stay. We were very happy with the quality of the mattress and linens as well as the ac being nice and cold on a very hot day (not always things you find in an older bed and breakfast.) We would absolutely stay here again. ##### Kate Stayed 1 night in Jul 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Emma Jul 8, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities It was charming and the room was spacious and wonderfully cool.

It’s a very old house so it is very creaky. It was nice and quiet otherwise. There was a mixup in rooms with not much of an apology. Once I had unpacked I was told I needed to move to another room because new staff gave me a reserved room. All in all it was a nice place but not sure I would go back. ##### Tracy Stayed 4 nights in Sep 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Ronald Jun 27, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Nice property with great restaurant on site.

We have stayed at a few places in Bennington and it can be hit or miss. The bed in our room was very comfortable and there was also a fireplace and a deep spa tub. Just know that if you book a room for 3 and it is not specified that there is more than one bed they will have to pull in a mattress. ##### Joy Stayed 1 night in Feb 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jason Oct 7, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Spacious and comfortable Spacious and comfortable room and bathroom with lovely details.

Appreciated the extras like bottled water and a log for the fireplace. The decor was period appropriate and well done but the room would benefit from a refresh of things like the shower and the carpet, especially at this price point. ##### Sang Stayed 1 night in Mar 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Leslie Aug 31, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Spectacular house! The house was spectacular! Built in the late 1800’s. Antique furniture throughout but still had an adequate number of plugs to charge our electronics. Breakfast consisted of waffles with mixed fruit on top. Delicious! Would definitely stay here again. ##### Leslie Stayed 1 night in Aug 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Svetlana Oct 8, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities It was a historic beautiful property!

There are games, large comfy sofas, and bookcases full of every genre of books for reading. The dining room is lovely and quaint. My room in the carriage house was very large and furnished with antiques and a working fireplace. Joe, the owner, was extremely nice and very accommodating. He even spent a half hour with me digging my car out of the snow and ice and literally pushing my car out of a snow pile! I can highly recommend a stay at this charming Inn if you are looking for true New England authenticity. Thank you Joe for making this a special place. ##### Suzanne Stayed 3 nights in Feb 2025 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [The Equinox Golf Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Bennington-Hotels-The-Equinox-Golf-Resort-Spa.h2759006.Hotel-Information) > > [Stowe Cabins in the Woods](https://www.expedia.ca/Waterbury-Center-Hotels-Stowe-Cabins-In-The-Woods.h2233235.Hotel-Information) > > [Delta Hotels by Marriott Burlington](https://www.expedia.ca/Burlington-Hotels-Delta-Hotels-By-Marriott-Burlington.h20199164.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Express South Burlington Downtown by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/South-Burlington-Hotels-The-Inn-At-Burlington.h24600.Hotel-Information) > > [Green Mountain Suites Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Burlington-Hotels-Green-Mountain-Suites-Hotel.h117235.Hotel-Information) > > [Homewood Suites by Hilton Burlington](https://www.expedia.ca/Burlington-Hotels-Homewood-Suites-By-Hilton-Burlington.h9474933.Hotel-Information) > > [Motel 6 Colchester, VT - Burlington](https://www.expedia.ca/Burlington-Hotels-Motel-6-Colchester.h998980.Hotel-Information) > > [Smugglers' Notch Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Stowe-Hotels-Smugglers-Notch-Resort.h1050525.Hotel-Information) > > [Sterling Ridge Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/St-Albans-Hotels-Sterling-Ridge-Resort.h3007904.Hotel-Information) > > [Residence Inn by Marriott Colchester](https://www.expedia.ca/Burlington-Hotels-Residence-Inn-By-Marriott-Colchester.h3742226.Hotel-Information) > > [Hampton Inn Colchester](https://www.expedia.ca/Burlington-Hotels-Hampton-Inn-Colchester.h24897.Hotel-Information) > > [Smart Suites, an Ascend Collection Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Burlington-Hotels-Smart-Suites.h9699588.Hotel-Information) > > [Comfort Inn & Suites South Burlington near University](https://www.expedia.ca/Burlington-Hotels-Comfort-Inn-Suites.h890627.Hotel-Information) > > [Bluebird Cady Hill Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Stowe-Hotels-Golden-Eagle-Resort.h576658.Hotel-Information) > > [The Essex Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Burlington-Hotels-The-Essex.h18494.Hotel-Information) > > [Comfort Inn & Suites Montpelier-Berlin](https://www.expedia.ca/Stowe-Hotels-Comfort-Inn-Suites-At-Maplewood.h24636.Hotel-Information) > > [Old Stagecoach Inn](https://www.expedia.ca/Stowe-Hotels-The-Old-Stagecoach-Inn.h1153675.Hotel-Information) > > [The Stowe Village Inn](https://www.expedia.ca/Stowe-Hotels-The-Stowe-Inn.h1092142.Hotel-Information) > > [Fairfield Inn & Suites by Marriott Waterbury Stowe](https://www.expedia.ca/Stowe-Hotels-Fairfield-Inn-Suites-By-Marriott-Waterbury-Stowe.h1153674.Hotel-Information) > > [Best Western Plus Windjammer Inn & Conference Center](https://www.expedia.ca/Burlington-Hotels-Best-Western-Plus-Windjammer-Inn-Conference-Center.h7416621.Hotel-Information) > > [Best Western Plus Waterbury - Stowe](https://www.expedia.ca/Stowe-Hotels-Best-Western-Plus-Waterbury-Stowe.h897690.Hotel-Information) > > [Kimpton Taconic Hotel by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Bennington-Hotels-Kimpton-Taconic-Hotel.h1572989.Hotel-Information) > > [Quality Inn Colchester - Burlington](https://www.expedia.ca/Burlington-Hotels-Quality-Inn-Colchester-Burlington.h24553.Hotel-Information) > > [Smugglers Notch Inn](https://www.expedia.ca/St-Albans-Hotels-Smugglers-Notch-Inn.h1213439.Hotel-Information) > > [Anchorage Inn](https://www.expedia.ca/Burlington-Hotels-Anchorage-Inn.h4565217.Hotel-Information) > > [Club Wyndham Smugglers’ Notch Vermont ](https://www.expedia.ca/Stowe-Hotels-Wyndham-Smugglers-Notch.h17794216.Hotel-Information) > > [Quality Inn Shelburne - Burlington](https://www.expedia.ca/Burlington-Hotels-Quality-Inn-Shelburne-Burlington.h282.Hotel-Information) > > [Mad River Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Middlebury-Warren-Hotels-Mad-River-Lodge.h43993088.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Express South Burlington by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Burlington-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Express-South-Burlington.h4567.Hotel-Information)
