5 out of 5Skiing Weekend with the Family
March 11, 2013
The Garden Tower Bed and Breakfast was beautiful. David and Marie were wonderful friendly hosts. We stayed here with our adult children and the bed arrangements were fine. We loved the "spa treatments". We went from the hot tub, to the sauna, to the steam shower. Great after a strenuous day of skiing. This would also be a wonderful place to stay in the summer. The brook sits below the house. I can imagine the forest aromas and the soothing sound of the brook from the bedroom window. The tower was also a special place to relax and see the view. The location was ideal - about 20 minutes to Stowe and Sugarbush and not far from Burlington.

We had a wonderful 3-night stay with Marie and David. If only we could have stayed longer. They went out of their way to make our visit as perfect as possible, even to the point of driving us to town to get dinner when our car was unable to make it down the snowy hill. Every detail was thought of in order to make our visit that much more memorable. The hot tub was a delight and the spa bathroom was to die for. It was also a treat to wake up to a delicious home cooked meal with local Vermont goodies . We look forward to many more return visits!

Perfect location between Stow, Waterbury, and Burlington. Received much more for our money vs. other beds and breakfasts we've stayed at. Breakfast was ready at the time we had asked for and the amount of food was more than abundant and high quality. Living quarters were almost as large as our house! Having a television in the master bedroom would be nice, but the bathroom had so many amenities which gave us some ideas of things to do back home!

To put it simply, Garden Tower B&B is amazing. From the day we booked, communication was easy and enjoyable. David and Marie are simply the most gracious hosts imaginable. They both go out of their way to make your stay perfect. They offered suggestions on where to eat (from fancy dinners to roadside eats), attractions in the area, and spots to check out, and they even offered to make dinner reservations for us. This single party B&B is basically your own house with beautiful wood floors, tons of windows, and many fireplaces. They really took their time and did everything with the best of quality. It’s obvious that no short cuts were taken. The furniture is beautiful and very comfortable. We find that B&Bs can often have tacky decor, and that was definitely not the case here. Everything was beautiful, comfortable, and makes you feel right at home. We spent a good amount of our time sitting in the hot tub listening to the stream, atop the tower, or by one of the many fireplaces. And breakfast. Oh the breakfast. First off, they emailed us asking us breakfast preferences. They weren’t just interested in allergies, but they really wanted to know what we liked and disliked, just another example of how much they care about making your stay wonderful. Words cannot describe how delicious breakfast was. Breakfast was also served with cheese, fruits, beverages, etc. Our stay at Garden Tower B&B was perfect. We started planning our return trip before we even left. We have since been back, and the second stay was even better than the first. Again, they went above and beyond for us. We again found ourselves planning our next trip back well before it was time to leave. This place is a hidden treasure. As much as I would greedily love to keep this place a secret so we would have no problems booking a weekend, it is just too great to keep the secret to ourselves. Do yourself a favor and book a long weekend. You won't want to leave!

My husband and I were looking for a fun, romantic, peaceful, getaway, that we could spend in comfort. We got exactly what we were looking for and more! Our experience started with David who I'd like to thank for building this beautiful addition onto his home to share with visitors. It was clear when we met him that this B&B was his passion not just a means of income. We were in awe when we drove up to see the shades drawn and every light inside lit, revealing the beautiful and serene environment awaiting us inside. We couldn't have felt more welcome. Our two night stay was amazing. We wasted no time jumping into the outdoor hot tub on our first night. The area was completely secluded and private. The deck is surrounded by a wooded area, atop a small cliff side, filled with the sound of rushing water from the stream below. Very relaxing! On our second night, after an afternoon of snowboarding close by, we soaked away the chill by candle light in the jacuzzi tub followed by several minutes in the steam shower. Each evening after returning from dinner we were greeted by the warm fireplace in our living room which David had lit for us while we were away. One of the best features of this B&B is that you are not confined to your bedroom for privacy. You are free to roam between the dining room, living room, bedroom, decks, tower rooms, and sun room. It was like staying at a home away from home. In the morning Marie's breakfasts were delicious! Served hot and on time. We were served fruits, croissants, yogurt, muffins, and a hot home cooked dish each morning. I have never found a place like this in all of Vermont. And the price! $180 a night for two adults is outstanding! We researched many inns and B&B's before making our choice to stay at Garden Tower. Places with a fraction of the amenities, equal decor, offering just a bedroom and bathroom were all around $450 for the same weekend we booked. Needless to say my husband and I were extremely happy with our stand.
