He framed a tour for us (hiking, farmers market, swimming, mountain views, picturesque towns) that was the height of our trip. Nailed it! We actually booked the Cozy Screen House the first two nights (beautiful site, CLEAN inside and out, real futon, flashlights, S'more fixings, everything! ) and we almost didn't want to give it up to be inside the Mill. Pictures can't evoke the energy in this place: the scented wood and stone entryway; the warm tones and lighted walls and creaky planks of the main living room and bar; the authentic STEEP climb to the upstairs (shared) bathroom-with teak tub! (Knuckle bite)- oh and then the upstairs private bedroom and sitting room...just outstanding. The constant rush of the river was very soothing. Felt very relaxed and comfortable using the deck, towels, drying rack, coffee maker, and bug spray available. Notes: beautiful natural paths (uneven stones, careful), and gorgeous hand made wooden steps (hold hand rail) from deck to main house. Swimming on site is an unforgettable experience! But not for the faint of heart, or those with vertigo...very steep steps (excellent solid rope hand rail), then an almost vertical ladder of 5-6 steps. Wow! Totally worth it! This is long, I know, but go see them, John and Manjula, their place, their love of laughter, peace, and adventure. Prepare to be enlightened!

I attended a wedding there this month (July). There was no air conditioner. It was unbearably hot…read more There were no fans in reception area that served appetizers and drinks. I became so overwhelmed by the heat, I had to go to my car and turned on the air conditioner for 10 minutes before going back in for the sit down dinner in another section of the venue. There were fans in the dining area but it was still quite hot. The bride became overwhelmed by the heat and had to leave the party for over an hour. She sat most of that part in the bathroom with her feet in cold water because she was so sick from heat exhaustion. The food was very delicious. In fact I asked for 2 pieces of pate, and the owner (who was serving) said no. There was plenty of appetizers left over before we went over for dinner. Dinner was served buffet style. The owner was slicing the steak. He ask if I wanted 1 or 2 pieces. I said 2. At about 7:30 , I went back with another guest. We asked for more steak. He once again asked us if we wanted 1 or 2 slices. I ask for 3 and he did not like that. He gave my 3rd slice from a discarded end piece that was already cut off and put to the side. My friend received 2 slices, one was also a discarded piece set off to the side. It was a wedding. I did not want to make a scene. This was clearly poor customer service. From the owner, no less. There was plenty of food left. Plenty of steak left. The wedding was scheduled to end at 10:30pm. All the leftovers was taken away soon after we got our second serving of steak. There was no announcement that the food would be taken away, should anyone wanted extra servings. The leftovers was Not packed and given to guests or the wedding family. There was No reason to guard the food from the guests. It was already paid for. The wedding was not scheduled to end until 10:30. The only thing that was free flowing was the drinks. I noticed that the bartenders marked down each that was served. After inquiring about why, it turns out each of the drinks were being charged to family hosting this event. The bride was gorgeous. Everyone made the best of this situation. It just should have been handled better. I think no one should have a wedding here in June, July, and August. Also, it should be established with the owners the the food is for the guests. Not saved for leftovers for others. Outrageous.

We didn't need them but it was nice to have it in case we needed it. We got the suite which was so beautiful. Now the owners!!! I cannot say enough. They are SO lovely and such nice people. Our breakfast was the best during our entire trip! We stayed in Shelburne for 2 days and then went to Stowe and then Bennington and we could not stop talking about the breakfast at the heart of the village inn! It was fresh, so tasty and definitely home made!! The BEDS are the most comfortable thing in the world that I even messaged them after I left to ask what mattress it was. This was so beautiful and if you want to save on lunch, trust me you will because the breakfast is just YUMMMM

Check-in was seamless & very personable - I rang a bell in the lobby & someone (Paige, I think?) appeared in seconds. My room was ready before their stated 4 PM check-in time, so I was allowed to settle in early. I stayed in the Half Pigeon room (all of the rooms are named & have very different vibes) which was very black & white & abstract. The common areas are designed to perfection. The solarium?! Maybe my favorite room I've ever stepped into in the entire universe. There are multiple fireplaces throughout the first floor. There is a small fridge for guest-use in the bar area, as well as an ice freezer. Snacks in a snack cabinet up for grabs. Breakfast was incredible. A full spread of fruits, yogurt, housemade bread (& gluten-free bread by request), flourless quiche bites, & more. Delicious, fresh-brewed coffee & all sorts of milks to choose from. On day two, they did breakfast to-order rather than a buffet. I assume to reduce food waste. I filled out a card with my desired breakfast order & what time I'd like to eat. It appeared on a tray in the dining room exactly when I requested. This hotel is SO worth the little splurge. I'm already daydreaming about planning a trip back to Burlington to stay here again. I'll pick a different room next time to experience something new. Thank you to the Blind Tiger team for creating such a beautiful, welcoming space. I didn't know hotels could feel like this!

There are a few rooms on the main level, including a sun-drenched living room where you can read a book, play games, or visit with those you love. The food and beverage are one step ahead of you with a station for tea, another area with snacks and fresh baked cookies, a coffee bar, and sparkling and fresh water on tap. I love having sparkling water on tap! The vibe is welcoming. The continental breakfast is phenomenal with really beautiful Vermont products and keeps it light with fresh breads and fruits. Try the granola. The staff are beyond amazing and really made our experience incredible! They are available and help to meet any requests. They also know a ton about Burlington so really great resource. The staff are friendly and kind. I ordered a cheese board ahead of time and really recommend it because the presentation is beautiful and a great treat to have. I stayed here with my 11 year old son and felt like it was a great choice for us. (I think it's not a hotel for really young kids, also most rooms you access by stairs so something to consider.) We stayed in the room called "Mini Bar." WOW what an incredible room. It's a king suite with a separate living room and huge king bedroom. The living room has a lovely small fireplace. The bathroom is tiny and tucked away, with steps between it and the bedroom, but that's some of the character of a building built in the 1800's. I think they did a phenomenal job updating parts of the inn to make it functional and modern, while keeping with the original charm. Full disclosure, it's an old inn so you might hear other guests as with most bed and breakfasts. If you are sound sensitive it might not be your spot. We found it incredibly relaxing and just an amazing experience. I'm already planning my next trip back!

We rented out not only the cabin but the studio above the workshop. Each location had it's own charm. The cabin for rent has a large family room and kitchen space. Great for 4 people to share for social time. On the top level is a very comfortable bed with a private bath. Only one couple can really sleep there at night., You can see the owner's personal train tracks from some of the windows as well as the property. The studio above the workshop is great for a couple. With a living room w/EIK and a bedroom. It's a close drive to Waterbury and Burlington as well as a few major ski lodges. Upsides: It really does have a home-y feel and you have a lot of space to move around on. There's WI-FI. Truly lovely worksmanship on the cabin. A cute town named Richmond is nearby for your daily needs. Downside: It's up a mountain that's not paved. During a heavy winter or mud season is becomes a tad hard to reach. Worth the trip up, slightly scary coming down if your not a local.

The owners are very nice and kindly and made us feel at home. The studio was probably about the size of our place in Boston. It had a fully-stocked kitchen with a stove, oven, dishwasher, and full-sized fridge. The bathroom was spacious and had a romantic claw-foot tub. The living area had a phone (important because there was no AT&T cell reception!), flat panel tv, dvd player, and cd player/speakers. I spent most of my time at the bench dining table. The queen-sized bed was very soft, and creaky. A great selection of books sat in the in-wall shelving, including The Perfect Storm. It was lovely to escape the city stressors and spend a quiet weekend relaxing. They rent out space for weddings, too, for anyone looking for an outdoor venue. We hiked along the trails around the area. It was very rainy the previous week so we couldn't do Camel's Hump as planned. Parts of the trail were very muddy and there were bugs everywhere. I got some wicked bad bug bites pre-DEET application. Now I know black flies bite. Also, beware the neighbor-son's dog. The owners' dog Elsa is a sweetie, but the neighbor-son's dog will attack.
