This is a lovely old Inn. We found that there was not good lighting to read in our room and just one chair. As the weather was poor It would have been nice to spend time reading. Ther is a couch downstairs that we could have used.

This inn was a convenient location to the running event we were participating in- Moosalamoo Ultra. Great young couple who are running it. Very clean and hospitable. I would just suggest mini fridges in the rooms and keypad door locks so the scenario of locking a key in a room is a non-issue. Makes life easier for everyone! Charming place and definitely would recommend.

It was nicely situated in the wooded hilly area near the creek. It was down the road from Middlebury which is a lovely quiet town. It was nice to be outside town in the historic house and easily drive in to towns nearby.
