Meadowlark Inn


  • Inn Details

    1870's farmhouse on a quiet country road, yet close to all area attractions. Eight individually appointed rooms, all with private baths. Views of woods, a meadow complete with a herd of Holsteins early summer through fall, and mountains in the distance. Modern ammenities guests have come to expect with old fashioned ones that will still delight you. Amazing views of the night skies from the hammock. Beautiful gardens with a water fountain and natural stone altar. 2.2 mile walk on country lane just outside our door, or simply sit on one of the large porches in a rocking chair and watch the sunset. We often see deer and wild turkeys strolling through the yard at dawn or dusk and a nearby pond offers evening symphony in spring and summer. The Inn is Certified as a Backyard Wildlife Habitat by the National Wildlife Federation.

    Stayed here with my parents over a long weekend in the fall. Lucia and Debbie could not have been more hospitable. Their historic B&B is on a sweet quiet street in a beautiful setting with a gorgeous view. They've done an amazing job with the property. Both buildings and grounds are full of character and charm and are loving and artfully maintained. Debbie and Lucia are warm, welcoming attentive hosts who care about every detail. The breakfast was fabulous. The location is great -- close to Brattleboro and other attractions in Vermont. I've stayed at a lot of B&Bs over the years and this is definitely among my favorites. I'd return in a heartbeat, and hope to do so.

    What a treat to stay at the Meadowlark. Luxurious king size bed, jacuzzi tub, long hikes, and trips to town. Breakfast was outstanding. Lucia & Deb were so warm and welcoming. Looking forward to our next stay.
