This b&b was everything we hoped for- the hosts Michael and Kevin are just wonderfully charming and welcoming. A few things that clearly stood out for us- Location- about 7-8 minutes from downtown Manchester. The area was incredibly stunning- leaves changing air was crisp- pure perfection! Silly things…freshly made cookies each day in the entry area & having freshly brewed coffee at 730 am before breakfast served was a lifesaver! The breakfasts were not only delicious but the epitome of a New England hearty meal- each morning starts with fresh locally made skyr yogurt with fruit- then day 1: homemade waffles, thick cut bacon (to die for), day 2 scrambled eggs, ham & home made maple bran muffins. Day 3 maple corn waffles, eggs and bacon. Just amazing. Our suite was huge and had more than enough room for just the 2 of us. The weather got very chilly overnight and having the wall heaters were perfect. Each day our room was clean, fresh towels (and we might add plenty of them as well) daily. If we had any suggestions- the bath/shower just a tad small in that suite- shower curtain sort of sticks to you as you are showering, BUT regardless it did the job. And the couch in that area a little uncomfortable- but there was a chair with an ottoman that was very comfortable. Honestly, our overall experience was just phenomenal and those 2 little blips were the only (slightly) negative aspects. Would recommend this b&b to anyone!

A lovely stay at The Ira Allen House
We had a wonderful stay at The Ira Allen House! Our host, Michael, was very warm and welcoming. His attention to detail around cleanliness, decor and delicious breakasts were happily noted. We'll be back to visit this quaint B & B and spend time in the lovely town of Manchester.

A Delightful Place to Stay in Southwestern Vermont
The inn is old and doesn't offer the luxury of other inns and B&Bs in the area. But it was still a wonderful place to stay at a very good value. Michael, the owner, could not have been more attentive to our needs. He made a fantastic breakfast for us every day (as well as scrumptious cookies) that exceeded in both quality and quantity what one typically gets from more expensive inns & B&Bs. In addition, the room and bed were very comfortable and the shower was perfect. The inn was a short drive from Manchester and many good restaurants. I definitely recommend it.

Agreed with all comments about the exceptional home made style breakfast. However, the second night there was a group playing guitar and singing. With over 200 years house, this was not welcomed especially after a tiring long ski day. Phoned hotel and also Expedia on that same night but both myself and Expedia could not get hold off host for resolution. Got to know next Morning that the voicemail probably was played and heard but did not take action. These days with many craziness in the news, we as guest cannot confront with another group on our own to take risk especially with kids.
