Brass Lantern Inn

Don greeted you, gave you the tour, made you feel like he was opening up his home to you, which he is proud of. I only saw butterscotch on the last day, he did not greet us as well. There were nice touches like water in the room, a coffee maker from tschibo, (espresso, dbl, americano... all fresh ground and pressed. There was some candy around, cmon when you are doing outdoor activities you can indulge. plus a baked good was put out in the evening. The breakfasts were tasty and not overly indulgent, cmon you can't be active when your bloated..

This wonderful inn has lovely views of Mt. Mansfield across their beautiful lawn (with bonus cute chickens and geese to admire). All available to guests: a large living room, library, an electronic game table for kids with a bar for adults, as well as a front sunporch and a back porch with the Mt. Mansfield view. The room was extremely well appointed, with many extras for comfort and convenience (e.g., hairdryer, shampoo conditioner and body wash within the shower in dispensers for zero waste, Brita pitcher, white noise machine, champlain chocolates on my pillow). So many thoughtful touches. NOW THE FOOD -- delicious very high quality coffee and tea available around the clock! and such an amazing locally sourced breakfast. The value of this place is beyond!! Friendly hosts with just the right helpful, but unobtrusive style.

Very spacious area downstairs for breakfast and sitting with comfortable chairs and access to t v , this was fortunate as rooms were small. Breakfast from a varied set menu. Coffee fantastic. Large shared fridge available with labels to id items.Nice gardens and use of BBQ was great and owner provided all that was required to cook food bought in supermarket next door. Nice gesture was provision of home baked cakes for guests in afternoon and early evening.

We loved the hospitality. Don greeted us when we arrived and showed us all the amenities they had to offer at the house. The room and bathroom were bright, clean, quiet and cozy. The breakfasts were amazing. They offered a few alternative choices if you didn’t want the scheduled breakfast menu. All the food was fresh and made after you sat down to enjoy your coffee and tea. The location is relatively close to town so you could walk if you wanted to. We really enjoyed our stay at the Brass Lantern Inn and recommend it highly. We are looking forward to returning again.

Breakfasts were delicious and plentiful. Snacks/ desserts were also available at the end of the day that were very good. A variety of drinks and snacks are available for purchase. Hosts were wonderful. The common area layout is spacious and well planned with a great selection of books as wells as games and puzzles. Though the location is on the main traffic area, the back provides a nice outside sitting space with beautiful views of Mount Mansfield and other mountains.
