Michael and Kevin have a jewel of a house - super charming and hospitable. Their breakfast is amazing, they are so friendly and hospitable. The Ira Allen house certainly tells the tale of its age, and is a quaint and charming getaway in VT.

Charming historic inn.
This is a wonderful, historic B&B that met our needs perfectly. Our room was small, but quite comfortable. The proprietors are friendly and attentive. They prepared delicious full breakfasts each day, using primarily locally sourced foods. Fresh baked cookies greeted us upon our arrival in the cozy living area on the first floor. The large park-like area across the street, extending to the Battenkill River and containg Adirondack chairs, a gazebo, and a fire pit, is also part of the property.

An amazing B&B. The house is a piece of American history. The Battenkill is across the street. Everything was comfortable and relaxed. The breakfast was fantastic. But it was Mike's hospitality that shined. We have been to a lot of B&B in this country and Ireland; the Ira Allen House rates right up with the best.
