The Old Lantern inn felt like a home from home. Lisa, the owner is so friendly and the inn itself is beautiful and situated in park-like grounds. The room we stayed in was clean and very comfortable. The dining / sitting area downstairs is beautifully laid out and the perfect place to relax, eat the continental breakfast provided, chat to fellow guests, read or play games. The outside seating area is shaded and another beautiful spot and so peaceful. We enjoyed our stay here so much.
We had a wonderful stay at the Old Lantern Inn in Charlotte VT. Our room was large with a king and a twin bed and views of Lake Champlain. The inn was very quiet and clean.
We can’t say enough about the innkeeper Lisa; she went above and beyond to ensure that not only were our needs met, but our expectations exceeded. Continental breakfast is modest but tasty.
There are only 8 rooms in the inn and it has a family feel. Guests seem to really enjoy talking to other guests & sharing local information.
If you stay here, you will absolutely not be disappointed!
I stayed 4 nights and had a great experience, everything was clean, had room and bathroom to myself and key to the door, would definitely stay again for sure!

Lovely property with peaceful feeling, country views and garden. Hostess was extremely nice and helpful.
Stay here if you possibly can! The grounds are so peaceful and beautiful, the food was great, there's a fun bike ride down to the ferry, country walking on trails, pretty farmland, and an astonishing, amazing, truly unbelievable host.
A quaint cozy room perfect for an overnight near Burlington. Be aware all rooms are on second floor with no elevator. No TV. Other use what you need for basics are provided. Comfortable bed and nice linens.
I recently had the pleasure of staying at The Old Lantern Inn and Barn, and I can’t recommend it highly enough! From the moment I arrived, I was greeted by the warm hospitality of the host, who went above and beyond to make my stay enjoyable.
The lobby, beautifully designed, immediately set a welcoming tone. The breathtaking views surrounding the inn were truly a highlight, providing a serene backdrop for relaxation.
I loved the complimentary tea, coffee, and snacks available at all times—such a thoughtful touch that made my stay feel even more special. The hassle-free check-in process, even late in the evening, made everything so convenient.
Overall, this is a gem of a place, and I can't wait to return!
The room was small. It had a Queen size bed and a small bathroom. No TV, refrigerator or microwave were in the room. There was a small common refrigerator in the hallway. There was no ice available. The free breakfast was good with coffee, yogurt, Chex cereal, and fruit.

We understood that there was breakfast, but there was none - only snacks that were available in cannisters. We were promised a room overlooking the lake, but there was none - the inn is far from the lake.
The room was clean and lovely. I can't say anything about the service because there was none - the reception was closed when we arrived, and when we left.
In sum, pretty building, nice furniture, comfy bed, but overpriced.
The host was a lovely person who made the stay worthwhile. Recommended a fabulous restaurant for dinner - best part of stay. Bed was very noisy; creaked when getting in/out and with movements causing disruptive sleep. Although website advertises air conditioning, the control was in one location so it was basically nonexistent making for a warm stay. Room had fans but still warm. False advertising re air conditioning. Very early in morning (4 am) a loud machine kicked on waking us. Thought it was the house AC but uncertain. Bathroom was small but adequate. Curtain was too short so water ran out onto flooring. Breakfast was continental style and adequate.
Restaurant and host were the two positives; wouldn't stay there again due to inability to get a decent night's rest.
Stayed at the Inn over the weekend, family of 4(2 adults,2 kids). Very nice place, clean, quiet, and comfortable. The owner was very kind and accommodating. Highly recommend.
