Inn at Glimmerstone Mansion

We've stayed here twice and loved it both times. The hospitality is top notch, and there are lots of extra touches beyond just bed and breakfast. Every evening wine and cheese are put out, and fresh desserts appear later. The head inn keeper is also the chef for the attached restaurant and she ensures you are well fed and happy. We came once for skiing and once for leaf peeping and had excellent stays both times. Highly recommended, and we plan to go back again soon.

We were very pleased with the friendly service from Mary Jane and the rest of the Staff at Glimmerstone. The rooms and bathrooms were gorgeous! The fruit and cheese, wine and dessert were pleasant surprises and the breakfast in the morning was outstanding. We cannot wait for our next trip to Glimmerstone!

Every part of our stay was wonderful. Beautiful rooms, great food, and friendly staff. We felt very pampered!

We had a delightful time at the Inn at Glimmerstone Mansion - wonderful accomodations, delicious food, great service, close to Okemo an all around excellent experience!

We stayed at the inn at Glimmerstone Mansion Valentines weekend 2013. The inn exceeded our expectations in every way. The historic mansion is restored beautifully, is tastefully decorated and the rooms are appointed nicely. The Valentines dinner and music were both wonderful... The dinner was romantic and leisurely, and that was a good thing considering the number and size of each course. The food was prepared perfectly that evening as was the next morning's breakfast. Mary Jane and her staff made sure every aspect of our stay was perfect... They even went so far as to make reservations for us on our second night at a friend's restaurant, which was so very good! We will most assuredly be back for another stay. Thank you Glimmerstone for making our romantic weekend that much more special.

We had a great time at the Inn at Glimmerstone Mansion. The food was great, rooms were very comfortable. Mary Jane and John and staff were friendly and helpful.

Everything was perfect and we couldn't have asked for anything more.

The Inn at Glimmerstone Mansion is superb. The rooms are all absolutely beautiful and extremely comfortable. The entire place has a terrific ambiance. Mary Jane and John are so warm and accommodating. The food is also top notch. They have a full restaurant on the first floor, and a real pub in the basement! You can stay in one location and get everything you need. This was our second stay and we will be staying again. If you don't stay here, you're missing out.

My husband and I could not have asked for better hosts, than Mary Jane and John, between their warm welcoming and friendliness. We felt like royalty with the afternoon wine,fruit and cheese platter, set out for us and then our sweet desserts at the end of the day. Also Mary Jane goes above and beyond with her 5 course breakfasts. We are counting down until our next stay at Glimmerstone, cannot wait!

My stay at the Glimmerstone Inn was absolutely amazing! The staff was very welcoming and accommodating. The breakfast is delicious! It's more than you could ask for in a B&B. I highly recommend this place. I would return to it any day!

From the moment we walked through the front door at the Inn at Glimmerstone Mansion until the time we had to hug Mary Jane and sadly say goodbye, our stay could not have been more perfect. The Inn overflows with charm, class and sophistication. We instantly felt incredibly welcomed and literally everywhere we turned, our every need imaginable was not only met, but taken care of in exceeding fashion. All the amenities were beyond clean, comfortable and enjoyable. We were simply spoiled with delicious snacks, fresh fruit, beverages, homemade desserts and more delivered daily to our room level. Each morning we started our day off in the pure bliss of a masterfully prepared 5 course breakfast that was to die for. The pub in the downstairs of the Inn provided the perfect setting to end the day and we regret not being able to enjoy a meal there due to scheduling only. We literally would change nothing about our stay, with the only exception maybe being that we had more time to actually spend at the Inn itself. Mary Jane has done a fabulous job and is the picture perfect owner and hostess. We live on the opposite side of the country in Oregon, but can't wait to come back in the future with the sole purpose of the trip being to stay at the Inn at the Glimmerstone Mansion. I could not grade this review any possibly higher! Bennett and Rylee

Had a wonderful time at this great B&B. The food was amazing. I enjoyed our nightly desserts the best. Mary Jane and her staff do a great job at making you feel like you are at home. I will be coming back.

My wife and I were so thrilled with our stay with Chef Mary Jane. The house and recent renovations are incredible. The rooms are immaculate. Breakfast was marvelous, everything was tasty and we were pleasantly stuffed. We will definitely return in a heart beat. This was our best New England Bed & Breakfast experience.

What a wonderful weekend there are not enough words to explain what a wonderful place this is just telling you if you don't experience it for yourself you will have definitly missed out on something truely amazing. mary jane and john are such warm and kind people. The food is incredible the atmosphere stellar ! vermont is such a friendly beautiful state do yourself a favor and GO!!!!!!

What a wonderful job the Abbattes have done of turning this property into a a truly wonderful bed and breakfast filled with New England heritage, charm and subtle luxury. In my mind the Glimmerstone Mansion captures the true essence of what a charming bed and breakfast should offer - great value for money, very warm , friendly and welcoming owners/staff that will happily chat or leave you to be, incredible decor with very subtle attention to detail, excellent service, very clean, fresh and comfortable rooms with gas fireplaces, wonderful furniture, cable TV/DVD and top of the line bathroom fixtures. The common areas are bright, clean, open and welcoming with very nice wooden floors. Unfortunately I didn't get to eat at the Inn but if the smell of cooking and everything else is anything to go by I would say it would be very good. I enjoyed my stay so much that I'm already planning my return trip with friends in a few weeks. Great job Mary Jane, it's clear that a lot of careful thought and planning went into your incredible Inn and I'm sure that many others will walk away with the same feeling that I have....this is a true gem! Can't wait for the pub to open which will add the final perfect touch!

My wife and I stayed two nights at the Glimmerstone and loved it. It is located in a very cute little village, Cavendish, VT. a short distance from the Okemo Mountain complex. The Abbates have done a marvelous job of converting the historic mansion into a roomy, comfortable and tastefully decorated inn. Our bedroom had a working fireplace and an unbelievably comfortable queen-sized mattress. In the morning we were treated to a breakfast prepared by Mrs Abate and pleasantly served by one of her daughters. Both days the breakfasts were outstanding- thank goodness it was the week before my New Year resolutions started. I had a chance to look at the kitchen- it was efficient, immaculate and well equipped. The Owners and their family were friendly, enthusiastic, and welcoming- but gave us the feeling of privacy that is sometimes missing in small family venues. We hope to go back many times and certainly feel comfortable recommending Glimmerstone to our friends- or actually insisting they should experience what we so enjoyed.
