A traditional warm welcome.
We felt extremely welcome. The staff was friendly. The charm of early 20th century inn-keeping. Jessicas dining was relaxing and wonderful. Great breakfasts!

Charming stay in Middlebury, Vt.
My daughter and I had a short but very comfortable stay at the inn. Breakfast was delicious and in a nice charming area overlooking the property. The staff couldn’t have been nicer! Thank you.

Friendly and helpful staff
Overall an enjoyable stay in this quaint country Inn. Some mould in the shower stall, and shower temperature inconsistent. Occasionally breakfast not always made correctly to order but service polite and attentive. Room above bar was noisy till 10 PM on Friday’s “ DJ” night. Windows but one were stuck shut. Dinner at Jessica’s very pleasant and well prepared. Lovely gardens and lots of tree shade to sit under and relax. No in room fridge and had to ask for ice at the bar.

Beautiful inn with spacious rooms and an excellent restaurant on site. Optional Dinner was fantastic. Complementary breakfast was top notch. Staff were all friendly and helpful. Note that the inn has most of the rooms on the 2nd floor and there is no elevator, but that was not an issue for us. Grounds are lovely with nice flower plantings. Highly recommend for a small town Vermont experience. This town is the setting for the Newhart Show of the 80s to 90s and the Waybury Inn, that was the model for the Stratford Inn, is a few miles away and they offer informal tours and dining.

Check in and restaurant services
Address online is not address for registration . When I got to to the wrong area I tried to call and no one answered to help me figure out where to go. Of course it was in the middle of a snow storm and after dark.
Restaurant was not open, I was told there was a bar but come to find out it was in an entirely different building.
