The antique decorated guestrooms are furnished with four poster, brass,and sleigh beds,covered with luxurious down comforters. Several rooms have fireplaces, private balconies, a Jacuzzi or a deluxe soaking tub. Our breakfast is hearty and includes homemade bread and pure local maple syrup. During the day, there is so much to see and do- music festivals, summer theater, antique and craft shops, vineyards, museums, gardens, hiking, biking, water sports, tennis, golf, riding stables, carriage and sleigh rides, alpine and cross country skiing. We can even arrange an appointment with a massage therapist.

The house is really lovely and very clean. Our room was very cold, we had to light the fire which was great except it took a long time to warm the room. The bathroom was adequate. Our room felt a little under-dressed and cold and that, along with the bathroom, is the reason for the ratings. However, the house overall was kept up very well, was very clean, just could use some updating. The service was lovely and warm and the food was very good and the coffee was excellent! The people there were terrific.

This was our first stay at the Manor House and as frequent travelers, we were throughly charmed and impressed by the Inn and its' Innkeepers. Karl was a perfect host, available yet unobtrusive, allowing us to fully enjoy the beauty of the manor. The manor is a wonderful blend of vintage charm and modern convenience. The Victorian room matched the elegance of the rest of the Manor, yet boasted a gas fireplace and Jacuzzi bath. Breakfast offered a variety of local fare, presented beautifully and was deliciously filling. All in all, we highly recommend the Manor House and will certianly return again!

stayed for one night and it was a pleasant stay. Victorian room was great and had more than enough amenities and room. The breakfast was not very good and it was buffet style.....not what we expected but they had a wedding party there.
Innkeeper Response
Thank you for your review and I apologize that breakfast was not what you expected. The buffet consisted of house made blueberry muffins, banana nut bread, apple bread pudding with local syrup, cut up fresh fruit, a baked ham, house made quiches, scrambled eggs, variety of juices and nectar and french roast coffee. We did have a wedding party here and attention to personalized service may have been compromised. Buffet breakfasts are not the norm at the Manor. I am pleased that you enjoyed the Victorian Room and amenities.
