Charming historic inn

This was our second stay at this historic, lovely & comfortable inn. Our room #2 had a king size bed & a separate sitting area which could have accommodated another adult or small kids on a foldout cot in the closet. Furnished with a mix of contemporary & vintage furniture. Very clean. Showers have great water pressure. The mini breakfast in the inn’s bar/restaurant includes delicious homemade muffins. The restaurant is open for dinner—only on Thursdays & Fridays at present. The area is semi rural but located near Montgomery Center, St Alban’s & Enosburg where there are restaurants & other amenities like the Eloquent Page Bookstore, worth a visit for the book lover. Six wooden covered bridges to explore in the area; at one of them we even met a 5th generation descendant of the original bridge builders, the Jewett brothers. The Black Lantern Inn is a wonderful place to enjoy a relaxing getaway. Definitely recommend 👍

Cozy historic inn—lots of character & charm

Black Lantern Inn is a cozy place to stay. The exterior may be showing its age—1803!—but the interior exudes lots of character & charm. It’s listed on the National Historic Registry. Easy check in. Our Rm 6 was spacious, clean, quiet, with comfy & some vintage furnishings. All rooms appear to be on the 2nd floor & there's no obvious elevator (it’s an old building after all). Caveat re: our bathroom: toilet seat is loose & needs to be screwed tight; & don’t flush toilet while someone’s showering. Luckily this shower is roomy so hubby was able to dodge the sudden blast of hot H2O! The shower had a corner bench & jets along the bottom which we didn’t use. Had pleasant interactions w/Catherine, one of the very nice hosts. They were very responsive to our needs & gave great restaurant recommendations. Each morning we enjoyed a continental breakfast in the bar—muffins, yogurt, juice. Great coffee & the homemade muffins were a treat. Catherine said there are 5(?) families who rallied together to reopen & maintain this lovely historic inn. We applaud them. It’s a welcome change from a chain hotel. We look forward to staying again, hopefully the restaurant will have re-opened. Definitely recommend this charming getaway in Montgomery VT, with scenic covered bridges & waterfalls nearby. One comment: some of the border wallpaper in Rm 6 is starting to peel from the wall though this didn’t affect our stay. I’d just hate to see it pull away more.

I gave everything a five-star review, however this is an unstaffed property so the service I mentioned was related to housekeeping and whomever put out the breakfast. I never saw anyone, however, all communication I had with them via email was excellent. I also noted that I enjoyed the area. However, the restaurant at the hotel and all the restaurants in this immediate area are shut down from Easter until May 15th.
