The owner is constantly making improvements such as new furniture for the rooms, updating the mattresses, adding keyless entry locks, or even finding a gorgeous antique or new piece of art. It definitely shows that this Inn is a labor of love! You will not be disappointed!

I loved the amenities, like Lake Champlain chocolates and a small bottle of maple syrup, all the amazing parts of Vermont were there to welcome me in my room. I also thought the self-check in was great so I didn't have to see a single person during my entire stay so I felt safe COVID wise. Highly recommend!

This was our 3rd time here in the past few years. They…read morehave truly upped their game with a new chef and menu. Four of us had dinner at the Inn and had an amazing experience. The service was friendly, attentive, and prompt from the moment we sat down. We started with some incredible cocktails and shared the smoked maple flash-fried Brussels sprouts, which were outstanding. Between the four of us, we had the Filet Mignon, Iberico pork tenderloin, day boat scallops, and the lemongrass-infused striped bass. Every single dish was cooked perfectly and packed with flavor. It's rare that everyone at the table loves what they ordered, but that was definitely the case. Chef Dylan Taylor's new menu is fantastic, and it really shows. Everything felt fresh, creative, and thoughtfully prepared without being overdone. The dining room is elegant but still feels warm and comfortable. And a special shoutout to owner George, who was incredibly warm and welcoming. You can tell he genuinely cares about making sure everyone has a great experience. From the food and cocktails to the service and atmosphere, everything was spot on. We can't wait to come back and would highly recommend the Pitcher Inn if you're in the Mad River Valley.

TLDR: perhaps the best meal I've had in Vermont, and a great choice for anyone in the area…read more The dining room at The Pitcher Inn has a 3-course or 4-course pre fixe menus available for dinner, and you can chose any combination in the menu (except the entrees more than once). 3-courses was filling for me. Dinner started with an anchovy amuse-bouche that had a nice savory taste. They even offered a free glass of champagne for my birthday. The grilled octopus was nice and light, and the cauliflower was okay with the dish. It was a smaller potion, but left room for the remaining courses. The tagliatelle was cooked well and the tomatoes and mushrooms added nicely to the dish. This was a nice sized portion, and definitely filling. The chocolate raspberry tart was more on the chocolatey side. Maybe my least favorite course from those I had, but nonetheless still good. The check came with petit four which was a nice touch. My waiter, Sergiu, was delightful and made me feel welcome the entire time. I really enjoyed my dinner here and would look to return.

Our suite was incredible, with a two-person sauna that we used every single day. The bed was super comfortable, and the entire inn was beautifully designed with so many thoughtful details throughout.

We originally wanted to stay at the Woodstock Inn, but could not reserve a room. We found the…read moreWoodstocker B&B and decided to give it a try. It is a very good bed and breakfast. Location is just on the outskirts of town, which is a perfect walk to dinner. The room is large with a sitting area and - believe it or not - a small in-room sauna. The bed is very comfortable and the bathroom spacious and very modern and nice. There's a small outside seating area for our room too. Common areas are very well kept. Breakfasts were excellent, with pancake, omelet, and other options, fresh cooked to order every morning. Shout out to the pancakes which are out of this world. This is a wonderful B&B. You don't have the tavern, restaurant, and spa that you would have at the Woodstock Inn, but you do have the much larger room. It's the difference between a B&B and an inn. You will not regret staying here.

Had the pleasure of visiting this lovely Inn for breakfast and dinner…read more Service and attention to detail was perfection! Great place to have breakfast and enjoy the 2.5 mile walk to the market or visit the beautiful garden on the property. Breakfast can be had under a covered patio which looks over the beautiful landscaped gardens. Reservations are easy to make on line. Even if you're not a guest at the Inn. Check dates for availability since I believe reservations may be seasonal. Can't wait to go back!!

I think we also had a sampling of the Shelburne Farms cheddar cheese which is amazingly delicious. Although the brunch is somewhat pricey (but reasonable compared to dinner), you are paying for the location and gorgeous view of Lake Champlain in the backyard of the Inn. Overall, service was pretty good at brunch and attentive, but our reservation was near the end of the brunch period. It's well worth taking pictures outside if the weather is nice. Before you enter the dining room, be sure to visit the sitting room. The Inn has a pleasant, historic vibe and elegant charm with portraits of Lila Vanderbilt Webb in the sitting room. This Yelp review is just for the brunch at the Inn (we did not stay overnight).

We arrived at 8pm on a Sunday, well the town is pretty much shut down, they recommended a fabulous dinner spot still open. Then around 1130 when I realized there is no coffeemaker or microwave so I can have tea before bed, I found myself at the desk and she was beyond accommodating, she got me some hot water from the kitchen.. seems simple and small but you saved me a very sleepless night.

I was even able to work on a job application! The hotel itself is gorgeous, with many spots to capture mesmerizing photos of nature & people. The rooms are more traditional & country house/cottage style which also fits the aesthetic many young women want on a trip to arguably one of the best New England towns.
