    For us motorcycling in VT was great and this beautiful B&B is centrally located to some great rides. Stacie & Steve were great hosts and their B&B was a terrific place to stay!

    My husband and I wanted to take a spur-of-the-moment mini vacation to Vermont and so I hunted the internet for a last minute place. We lucked out and I not only found Crystal Palace but they even had a special rate, probably because it was off season. This b & b is lovely and is full of wonderful Victorian decor. Our hosts couldn't have been nicer. For dinner the night we arrived they directed us to a popular restaurant in town that we could walk to, and it was very nice. The next morning we had what I think is the best b & b breakfast we've ever had. It was perfectly prepared and served. Our room (suite) was Victorian, roomy and spotless. We'd definitely stay there again.

    The Crystal Palace Victorian B&B is beautiful!!! It was our favorite B&B on our New England Fall trip. The bedrooms are spacious & decorated beautifully with antiques. (The whole house is beautifully decorated with antiques.) Little extras like having magazines in the bedrooms to look at. Water bottles provided for you in the bedrooms. Sherry for an evening nightcap. An added plus was the water pressure in our claw foot bath/shower, it was amazing. The bars of soap even had the B&B's logo. The best part of this B&B are the innkeepers Stephen & Stacie. They are so very warm & friendly. They make you feel right at home. Stephen even made reservations for us for dinner at the Bobcat Restaurant without a hestitation. Stacie's breakfast was fabulous. If you are in the area, I would definitely recommend Crystal Palace Victorian B&B.

    Everything about our stay was delightful. Our hosts were friendly and welcoming, the room and bath beautifully decorated and confortable. The breakfast was well presented, more than ample (we didn't need lunch)and delicious.


    Superb experience

    Steve & Stacey do a wonderful job. The house is effectively a Victoriana museum and the food and considerate service are great. I wish I'd met Caesar the dog before we were leaving; I'd have loved taking him for a walk. Hope to be back with my wife before too much longer. She'll freak over the decor. Absolutely the best B&B I've ever used.
