    It met our highest hopes!

    September 21, 2010

    My two daughters and I enjoyed a weekend at Taraden in Sept. 2010 and were overwhelmed with the hospitality. Bob and Nan have anticipated their guests' needs in the most gracious way. The room and bath were comfortable and spotless, the breakfast fit for royalty, and the grounds a delight to see. Definitely a place to return to!

    An excellent choice

    August 15, 2010

    We spent four nights at Taraden in early August and thoroughly enjoyed it. Nan and Bob are wonderful hosts and made us feel very much at home. We stayed in the West Wing, which has one main and one smaller bedroom and a bathroom complete with a deep claw-foot bathtub, separate enclosed shower and all the amenities. Breakfast in the glass-enclosed sunroom affords a pastoral view over a pond and beyond the barns to a hillside where American Cream draft horses graze. The sumptuous breakfast started with an overflowing cup of fresh fruit and might include an omelet, fresh baked cornbread, pancakes with fruit inside, Irish oatmeal, or other selections and Bob's homemade apple butter. It was enough food to last me all day. Bob and Nan help support the local art scene and while we were there they were completing plans for the first North Bennington Plein Air competition to be held September 8-12. Taraden is also next door to the historic Park-McCullogh House, a Victorian mansion that offers tours and a very nice Mile-Around Woods trail.

    We made a last minute change to turn our college visit into a vacation, and happened upon Taraden. Our hosts, Nan and Bob couldn't have been nicer, and the property is spectacular. Have never had a more perfect breakfast!
