Fodor's Travel
"If you're searching for an authentic inn in the heart of a textbook Vermont town, consider this Colonial dating to 1840. The guest rooms put together by Sara Widness, an expert on luxury travel and a poet to boot, are adorned with tapestries, antique rugs, claw-foot tubs, comfortable sofas, and old bed frames supporting mattresses bedecked with soft linens and a mountain of pillows—it may sound all a bit much, but Sara supplies romantic style while avoiding clichés. As an ensemble her three accommodations, along with the living-room hearth, the kitchen's old wood-burning stove, and the library nook, create a real sense of home."
