When we drove up, we loved the Inn's beauty and views. Our room in the Rabitt House was beautifully decorated, the rooms in the Inn were warm and inviting and the food was delicious. Mary and Hugh were wonderful hosts, making us feel at home as soon as we walked in the door. We loved our stay and will return.

Mary and Hugh are wonderful innkeepers. They made us feel as if we were the only guests there (even though the inn was filled). Their extra special treatment truly made our anniversary get-away unforgettable. We loved the Adirondack room, the delicious breakfasts, the peaceful City of Vergennes and the beautiful State of Vermont, and we can not wait to return!

We stayed at the Strong House Inn for a wedding at a local state park. When we arrived there was a different wedding about to commence on their beautiful garden scape. We were able to check in early and get to our wedding in time (thank you!). The rooms were clean and very adequate. The Inn's proximity to Vergennes is very convenient to grab dinner or drinks. The breakfast the next morning was great and the service and hospitality of the Mary and Hugh were excellent. Highly recommend the Strong House Inn if you are in the area.

We choose the strong house as our location for our wedding and honeymoon stay. Mary and Hugh are AWESOME! The service and little things they did made our stay one that will never be forgotten. The food is AMAZING, our guests kept raving about the inn's beauty, food quality and the wedding cake was to die for! We stayed in the Adirondack Room. Its decor, cleanliness, and amenities were essential the day of our wedding. The in room jacuzzi allowed us to unwind and relax. You won't be disappointed by staying here!

This was our second visit to the beautiful Strong House Inn. Mary and Hugh make you feel like it is your home, the minute you walk in. Our room was decorated beautifully, and so peaceful and quiet. The breakfasts were just heavenly and we enjoyed every morsel. There is always hot water for tea and cookies to have anytime day or night. We just loved sitting outside in the gazebo and reading, and having tea. The gardens are just beautiful, and I saw hummingbirds at the beautiful thistle plants. There are lovely trails to enjoy and we felt like we were away for much longer than 2 nights. Their two labradors Duke and Connor, were so friendly and lovable also. We can't wait to return...and highly recommend this beautiful B&B to all our friends, everywhere.. Thank you so much, Mary and Hugh...you were just so wonderful! Naomi and Bob

My girlfriend and I wanted to go on a bicycling vacation in Vermont. Instead of traveling from inn to inn, we decided to stay at the Strong House Inn for 4 nights, and we loved it. Our room was comfortable and clean, the breakfasts were tasty, and we really liked the tea station. Mary and Hugh are very friendly, and we enjoyed talking to them. They had wonderful restaurant recommendations. On our third day, my girlfriend and I became engaged. We were happy that we chose such a perfect place to do so.

We have always been attracted to Vermont. My wife's quilting brought her and sister quilters to the SHI. She and one of the other quilters treated their hubbies to a stay. Since, my wife and I have made a week-end get-away to do some Christmas shopping, the first year with our oldest daughter, the second with both ours daughters, this year the daughters were accompanied by friends. The tradition has been established. Thanks to Mary & Hugh for helping to make a week-end to look forward to.

The Strong House is lovely and the owners Mary and Hugh were very gracious and helpful in every way. The countryside in this area is spectacular and we were fortunate to have been there at a beautiful time of year, prior to the cool, but after the heat of the summer. I would whole heartedly recommend a stay at the Strong House to anyone traveling in this area of the country!

Several years ago I read a review in the NY Times about at quilting weekend at the Strong House Inn. I told my fellow quilters about it and we decided to try it. It was beyond our wildest expectations. The rooms were comfortable, beautiful and spotless. The quilting area over looked the mountains. The food was plentiful, delicious and beautifully presented. Then Mary, the innkeeper, arranged for massages, pedicures and manicures for the hard working quilt ladies! I had such a great time that I booked the Adirondack Room for my husband and I the next fall. We went to the Shelbourne Museum and great restaurants in the area. A weekend stay at the Strong House Inn is a wonderful experience. Our quilt group has returned for 5 years in a row and put down our deposits for the following year as we are checking out!

For the past five years, I have spent a long weekend in January at the Strong House Inn quilting with friends. Mary and Hugh are the perfect hosts with sumptuous breakfasts, delightful dinners, delectable appetizers at cocktail time, and Vermont's best Cosmopolitans! I have stayed in an assortment of accomodations at the inn and have been pleased with every one. The rooms in Rabbit Ridge are my favorite! I look forward to returning for many years to come as what quilter would turn away an opportunity to sew late into the night and be pampered by your hosts from the beginning of the day to the end while at the same time wearing slippers and casual clothing!

I stayed at the Strong House Inn on a recent business trip. The room in the Rabbit Ridge house was spacious and elegant, with all the charm of a New England B & B in a freshly renovated setting. The Inn owners were gracious and accommodating. Breakfast each day was complimentary and delicious! When I initially sought to book a room for the trip, I was unaware that Strong House offers corporate rates- This is not indicated on the website, so speak directly with the Inn owners when booking the reservation. Another bonus, all of the rooms have complimentary wireless connection
