Feb 23, 2025From the moment I walked in the door the staff and owners welcomed me with amazing hospitality and service. The room was beyond beautiful the bed was so comfortable and the amenities were perfect!
The breakfast was delicious and the facilities were top drawer all the way.
I have recommended this Inn to all my friends and will be a repeat visitor myself!!

May 2, 2025The property was charming, and I wish I had more time to take in the Ellis Inn's other amenities. I felt bad that I missed the original breakfast time on my first morning there due to jet lag, but Paula was so accommodating. The room was great, and the bed was a little too comfortable. It is an excellent location if you are visiting northern and central Vermont but be advised that parking can be a little tricky there. Though that could also be attributed to my lack of familiarity with the type of rental car I had. Overall a great experience.

Feb 23, 2025Tim and Paula were so great. Very friendly and gave us recommendations for dining options and local activities. We had fun chatting with them over coffee in the morning while they prepped breakfast because we are early risers. We enjoyed the game room playing air hockey and cards. The pool table on the main floor was so much fun as well. So many rooms to enjoy on the main floor with books and tvs and sitting areas. We had fun playing the “Find Bernie Sanders bobblehead”. Trevor and Jessica were so nice and we got to meet a couple of their dogs, Minnie and her tongue was adorable. Trevor made the best pancakes. We definitely will stay here again, and are planning on booking all the rooms with our family and friends to enjoy for a getaway with us. Highly recommend The Ellis Inn! Best B&B we’ve ever been to!

Apr 28, 2026The breakfast was amazing and they cater to all dietary restrictions, even gluten free! The property is gorgeous! The visual image of “warm and welcoming” is the Ellis Inn! The staff is so incredibly kind, they share the history of the inn, talk about their adorable doggos, and have an entire wall of suggestions for food / activities in the area! It was the perfect getaway! I loved sitting in the sunny day room to read and write! I can not wait to visit again!

May 20, 2026I had to cancel several days before the check-in date, but the Inn’s policy would not accept my cancellation. So, I had to pay for the room without being able to use it.

Oct 13, 2025Everything was great. Upon arrival, someone was there to greet you. Many happy faces to share your day with.
The room was clean and perfect for a night's stay. If you need more room, there are plenty of inviting rooms to lounge in. Breakfast was delicious and the perfect size. I was pleased.
