I have almost forgotten how wonderful it can be to stay in a great B&B, and this one certainly…read morerestored my passion for it -- and then some. From the street it looked like a charming New England B&B and there are plenty of those in the area. What sets this particular one apart, in my opinion, are the following: * At the back of this charming home is a beautifully crafted, lush garden with a hammock and benches placed in strategic nooks designed for optimal book-reading or daydreaming. At the top of the small hill is a pergola -- for more daydreaming, or if you are a bride-to-be looking for a romantic venue, this tops the cake. * The added bonus: you get your own entrance to a walking trail (please see picture below) that connects to a network of trails. It's beautiful now in the the summer time. I imagined how much more beautiful it will be in autumn. I must come back. * The breakfasts are to die for!! Imaginative and definitely gourmet. BTW, I had stayed in some expensive hotels before (the Four Seasons, etc.) -- in my opinion, this B&B's breakfast is better. Way, way better. On my first day, the second course was freshly-baked frittata with a side of steamed kale and zucchini -- picked from their garden. The cheese had just the right gooey to it, and the eggs were fluffy. Day 2: French-toasted croissant filled with creamy custard and drizzled with maple-orange syrup. Yum! * The Owner, Lynn is a wonderful person who had lived in Brattleboro for a very long time and knows its ins and outs -- from where to get great cheese to Brattleboro's unique home architectures. Engaging when a guest needed help and wonderfully welcoming. Yet, I always felt I had my privacy. She has mastered how to be a great host. BTW, the rooms are clean and well kept with a touch of history and modern amenities -- for example: I had a double shower head (a rain shower and a handheld). One last thing: In a hotel or an Airbnb, I always felt unsafe -- locked and double locked. In contrast, in the three days that I stayed here, I left my windows open at night to feel the cool evening breezes from the garden, and during the day, I left my door unlocked while I ate breakfast at the dining room. Priceless. I would come back for the breakfast, or the garden and walking trails, or the wonderfully warm, welcoming atmosphere -- better still, get all three. This one is definitely worth going back to again and again whenever I find myself looking for a great place to stay in Vermont. Highly recommended!

"LIKE FAMILY!"…read more Richard and Lynn treat you like you family from start to finish!!!! We were in awe of the home, the decor, the homemade desserts, the little touches that made our trip very special. The suite was extremely clean and stocked with lovely linens, fresh fruit, coffee, and even fresh autumn leaves for a beautiful decorative flair. They were kind enough to pick us up from the Amtrak station and really attended to our every need. The suite was more than we had imagined, and the online pictures really do not do the Crosby House justice! Thanks The Crosby house for making our stay relaxing, romantic, and unbelievable!!!

As a regular traveler and even more frequent reader of travel reviews, I am very familiar with (and…read morehave experienced) many stereotypes. The one this time is highly unpleasant initial contact that precludes staying there. The promise of a few relaxing days reduced the sting of resigning myself to paying $300/night for the "privilege" of a private bath; although all accommodations go for more than $200/night, only two of the six options have private baths. (The slightly less expensive option than mine was booked for my desired dates). Two are small one-room spaces that they advertise as cottages but seem more to be sheds. Neither have any plumbing and require using common facilities for guests in the main house. Reaching an innkeeper was rough to begin with. He then kept misstating my desired dates and told me that they could later adjust it. I let that go and hoped for the best. The breaking point was discussing my arrival time. I understood and respected that check in time was 3:00 pm. I truly did not think that ask to arrivie at 10 am on a Saturday morning in mid-September and happily either leaving my luggage in the car or leaving it behind the desk at the B n B until my room was ready and quietly enjoying the property was unreasonable. I was not counting on my room even being empty then but figured that it likely would be. The innkeeper got upset and told me that they still would have been serving breakfast (to no more then 12 guests, some of whom likeky already would have started their day) and could not even think about "assimilating" a guest at that time, He fully knew that I was not expecting any attention beyond a "hey" and maybe a handshake at that time. I told him to forget it and hung up; despite having my telephone number and e-mail, he made no effort at damage control even to the point of a quick apology that they did not want me there that early. My subsequent call to at least leave things on a friendlier note went unanswered. Subsequent conversations with a couple of travel agents, two friends who regularly travel, and a friend who is an award-winning travel agent confirmed my sense that my request was very reasonable, This is aside from the owners arguably charging at least 2x what they should. As an aside, I NEVER have had a hotel or inn keeper deny a request to show up early and amuse myself until my room was ready.

I travel a lot, both in the US and all over the world. When…read moreI plan a trip I look for accommodation well within the 4-5 star range, especially outside of the country or an area that might be tricky to navigate. When I heard about Frog Meadow, what appealed to me was the fact that it is a rustic, mountain / wooded retreat. And that's what I wanted .... rustic relaxation. They offer some rooms w/ private baths - and some rooms that have a shared bath ( perfect if you are traveling with friends). I chose what they call The Brook Cottage. Set away from the main house, next to a babbling brook, this magical little cabin features a queen bed, electricity with ceiling fan and air conditioning ( I didn't need it at the end of June - the property sits on top of a mountain and the entire cottage has screened windows that provide an amazing cross breeze). Relaxing in this cottage surrounded by nature, is just transforming. I have not slept this good in months. Imagine the most comfy bed .... with great linen and blankets .... in an enchanted forest. I'm not kidding - it felt like that. True, it does not have a bathroom. But I knew this and realized that I would be "Glamping" and that's what this is!! The bathroom is located in the main house (which they show you during the tour when you arrive). It is spotlessly clean, and they offer big robes and lots of towels. This is a MENS retreat, so they jokingly suggest that in the night when you have to - just water the trees lol - otherwise the bathroom is there to use at all times. It worked out fine. They have a wood fired hot tub ... a swimming pond ..... patio to relax on and enjoy the evening. Also available is a beautiful great room / living room with cable tv if you want. Then there is breakfast. Served in a large chefs kitchen / dining room combo and butlers pantry. Fresh fruits and granola and yogurts, fresh juice tea and coffee to start. They prepare a different hot breakfast every day featuring local ingredients. The food was awesome. The hosts are a couple that built this property from scratch, and they love what they do. Attentive ( but not bothersome). This is their home and they enjoy sharing it, and are so accommodating. ** I mentioned that I had spotty internet in the cottage ... and they moved the routers right away to improve the signal etc ( it worked great after that). They could have easily shrugged and said it's the woods - sorry.... but they cared. Frog Meadow is amazing and I can't recommend it enough if you are looking for a quality, gay b&b. If you are looking for a fussy froo froo boring hotel then go there. If you want rustic and comfortable glamping in a true VT paradise - then go to Frog Meadow!!

The rooms are stocked with snacks and there's some local artwork you can purchase if you like. The upstairs suite doesn't have any kind of a kitchen, though there's a mini-fridge and I believe a microwave, so dishes are bussed out as you use them; don't plan on doing any food prep on your own. The hostess brought breakfast to the room (there's not a common dining room like most B&Bs) and pointed out the local ingredients including eggs from her chickens and vegetables from the garden. This is a real working mini-farm and it's fun to stroll the grounds and see what is going on. And it's VERY close to the northeast corner of the campus; we were able to leave our car and walk to his dorm (Van Meter) in about 20 minutes. Like the website says, the grounds are very rich in animals and there's an extremely friendly cat who wouldn't stay out of our room in spite of the management's desire to keep the premises pet-free.
