The only reason I checked off 4 and not 5 circles above is because the Silas Griffith Inn, is still a work in Progress. Catherine and Brian have done a lot and are still working to improve the Inn. It is NOT due to any issues that I had while there. I cannot wait to see the Inn after they... More

This place is gross and filthy! Our room was dirty and dusty. There were cob webs on the mantel and all the brick-a-brack. The dust was a half inch think! The whole time we were here, there was a dixie cup behind our night stand. Our room was never vacuumed. The bedding and sheets were stained, smelly, and dirty. The... More

Kathy and Brian, the proprietors of Silas Griffith Inn go out of their way to assist where they can. I chose the location because friends were camping at the nearby Emerald Lake facility - and I am not big on sleeping on the floor so chose this B&B 5-6 miles away. We also had my friend's elderly mother who has... More

The innkeepers were very friendly and helpful, but the inn was unbelievably run down and dirty. The inn is need of a serious renovation. The stairs did not look safe and there was bird poop and paint chips on the deck (which easily could have been swept off). Our room smelled musty and was not clean. The bathroom was clearly... More

The Silas Griffith Inn in Danby, VT has a story to tell. Kathy & Brian Preble, innkeepers for the past six years, are quite knowledgeable about Silas Griffith and his house which has become a 10 room inn and 35 seat restaurant. We enjoyed hearing the historical facts about Mr. Griffith, who was a true entrepreneur in Danby (and influencial... More

We chose this inn because of its location & the number of positive reviews we read. However we were very disappointed. The innkeepers are very nice but the room was dark, dingy & dirty. There is so much clutter in the public rooms & restaurant that one can see it would take a whole team of Molly Maids to get... More

We arrived a bit late and were warmly received by the innkeeper. Our room shining clean and the beds very comfortable. The Inn is very inviting, warm and cozy and one can stay there for hours reading or enjoying the outdoors. The innkeeper Catherine couldn't be more caring. We love VT and the way this Inn felt reminded me of... More

This inn felt like you were relaxing in your grandmother's home. It was comfortable, warm and quaint. We traveled with two families, two kids each. We rented he third floor suite. Three teenagers slept in one room with a roll out bed, and they were quite comfortable. The other rooms were just as fine with a fire place in each... More

We booked the Inn for a family reunion in conjunction with a family member's birthday. The innkeepers and staff could not have been more accommodating as we worked out the details of our family's stay. All the various needs were met without any fuss, and the family was unanimous in their praise of the accommodations. The food, served buffet-style for... More

Having stayed at the Silas Grffith Inn two years ago we couldn't wait to get back. The beautiful old mansion is very inviting. The food is excellent, and after sleeping in on our second day we thought we would be too late for breakfast, but Kathy welcomed us into Emma's for another wonderful meal. George's room was perfect for a... More
