Beautiful place to stay in a lovely setting with a ton of things to do and see in any direction!…read moreMt. Philo is just down the road, with breathtaking views at the top; close to Burlington and nightlife. You can even take a short, beautiful ferry ride across to New York State! The suite was spacious and comfortable, with more amenities than we expected, including the biggest draw for us, which was being a pet-friendly Inn! The host, Duker, was friendly and welcoming, extremely helpful with his tips & advice for what to do! His enthusiasm was so addictive in fact, that we ended up extending our stay another night in order to sightsee per his suggestions! Definitely utilize him to see things you'd never know to see otherwise. Highly recommended! I would happily stay here again the next time we visit Vermont!

The Inn at Charlotte is has the perfect location for taking advantage of some really great biking both inland and along Lake Champlain. If you're daring, you can even try to tackle the steep Mt. Philo path. Duker was amazingly helpful in orienting us to the best roads and trails for biking in and around Charlotte, and plan some fun day-trips (including the Essex ferry). Breakfast is not to be missed, and I wanted to thank Duker for whipping some wonderful vegetarian meals. The inn is really relaxing to hang out at during the day - plenty of hammocks, chairs and shaded areas to relax. They're also chickens roaming premises, which were pretty entertaining on their own. Hope that we get a chance to stay again!

Wow wow wow!!! Where can I even start! The inn was so…read morelovely, and there was so much space and extra towels which was so nice because most places you have to call for these. 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

Update: Owner's comment is a lie. See other negative…read morereviews and you will see I am not the only person who was creeped out. __ Not sure why all the great reviews. The man who runs (owns) this place has real anger issues. Nothing warm about this place. Especially don't like the way he speaks to his wife. There are so many quaint B&B 's in Vermont. This is not one of them. Avoid unless you like cold, stern, humorless hosts with a curt attitude.

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!

We thought we had made a reservation at a quaint bed and breakfast, when we arrived it proved to be…read moreanything but. The rooms lead straight into the owner's living room and there is virtually no separation between you and them. We felt uncomfortable and decided to leave as soon as Libby, the owner, showed us our accommodations. When I inquired about possibly getting a partial refund, due to the fact that the room was not as advertised, they were immediately emphatic and unprofessional, prompting me to push harder for the refund. I was only met with more rudeness and was eventually cut off completely. I don't believe that anyone looking for the bed and breakfast experience should even consider this and to be an inn. It is a room in someone's home and if they want to rent it out they should adjust the cost accordingly and advertise accurately. My experience was awful and I want to extend a cautionary word to anyone who is considering spending money at this establishment.

Went to the vineyard on a whim and it did not disappoint. Starting with the wines, they could be…read morehit or miss. It really depends on your palette, and you have to understand that the grapes local to the area will not be your typical grapes. My family got flights, both sweet and dry. We really liked the 2023 Louise and 2022 Marquette. In fact, the Marquette was the best of the bunch from my point of view. The ciders were both really sweet, but the Eden Angeljus was pretty good and reminiscent of Mead. The Riesling was also a favorite. We got a cheeseboard for two, and that was freaking delicious. It came with a maple cranberry preserve that was out of this world. But the cheese, and even the crackers, were exceptionally good, too. Beyond that, the service was exemplary. Ruby in particular was a joy to talk to and quite good at her job. Finally, the live music they had playing was surprisingly good. I did not expect that kind of quality on a random Saturday in May. I highly recommend going to this winery.

The music was good and they were having a jazz band play later that evening. Outside, there are lovely views of the vines. Along with wine, there are food and non-alcoholic options. We enjoyed the tasting, found a wine we liked, took home two bottles, and couldn't resist one of the candles.
