    We stayed at Willow Pond Farm B&B end of Sep on our way home from a wedding in Boston. We had booked for 2 nights, but stayed on for a third night to see more sights, AND to enjoy the peace and quiet it offered. Great breakfast every morning. HIGHLY RECOMMEND bedroom #1, kingsized bed, windows faced Willow Pond and Green Mts. Landscaping is awesome. Close to everything in Western Vermont - Burlington, Shelburne (Farm, Museum and Vineyard), sightseeing boats on Lake Champlain, close to Stowe (Von Trapp family). Zita provided restaurant recommendations - Paulines was wonderful. Great time, great value, beautiful room!


    A lovely, peaceful place! great for a get-a-way!

    We recently stayed at Willow Pond Farm. What a lovely B&B, with beautiful grounds, lovely landscaping, and delicious breakfasts. Our room was spacious, airy, and very clean and comfortable. Sawyer and Zita are wonderful hosts, and we enjoyed our conversations. We truly enjoyed our restful stay and the countryside. Thank you!

    Next time I stay at Willow Pond Farm B & B, I will make time to stay on the farm for awhile to savor the splendid hospitality and lovely house and spend time on the many acres to hike to Shelburne Lake and beyond. I'd like to return in spring or summer as well to witness the beautiful gardens and surrounding wilderness, bird watch and relax. The Lees have placed binoculars all over the house for use of the guests to view the surprising variety of birds. In addition, family photos, Zita's pastel artwork, lovely quilts and country atmosphere make you want to curl up on the cushy sofa and read, daydream or chat with other guests and with the Lees themselves. What a wonderful B & B in beautiful Vermont.

    Willow Pond Farm Bed and Breakfast – it does not get any better than this. The Lees (Sawyer & Zita) are the perfect hosts. They make you feel like family, only better. The food is delicious. The rooms are beautiful and comfortable. Just one word of warning – when you say at Willow Pond you will never be satisfied with another B & B. Anna & Cecil
