Quiet and safe area. Beautiful old home. The furnishings were quit old but in excellent condition. The home was original, nothing in the architecture was compromised.

Stay was overall good, but there was not enough off-street parking for everyone and Bennington does not allow overnight street parking in the winter.

Charming Inn with jacuzzi
Beautiful inn in Bennington VT. Gracious host/ innkeeper made sure we were well taken care of and met our every need. Lovely breakfast in their formal dining room. We even celebrated the New Year with the owner and friends with fondue and drinks in the parlor. Old fashion inn with modern amenities including jacuzzi n coffee maker. We will be back!

The house was built in 1887, so it is old with lots of character. The floors and stairs creak, but for us, that adds to the experience. The decor is original to the time period. We were lucky enough to be here while an amazing pianist played for the evening. Beautiful
