My stay at the Barnstead Inn was exactly what I had hoped for. I was visiting friends living on a farm west of the tiny village of Dorset where accommodations were considerably more costly and without knowing how great the location of the Inn was, I booked it because it looked nice and was reasonably priced. As it turned out... More

Stayed here in the early '90s after a disappointing stay at the Equinox. We found it charming and friendly, and wanted to return for ski season. But life got in the way, and the years slipped by. Finally returned for a brief stay last week and were not disappointed. This is a quaint country inn with a variety of accommodations... More

We had the good fortune to spend a lovely, stormy/snowy weekend at The Barnstead Inn in Manchester, VT. Our experience was nothing short of amazing-beautiful, clean, charming room; warm and inviting, with so many quaint Vermont touches that made our stay so enchanting. Innkeeper Neil went out of his way to accommodate us and to make this such a wonderful... More

My wife and I spent a recent weekend in Manchester Vermont and stayed at the Barnstead Inn. The inn was once a farm and the rooms are in the restored barn complete with much of the old beams and woodwork. We stayed in the Battenkill suite, a very private and cozy bedroom with a king bed along with a separate... More

I was surprised to read a negative review about the Barnstead from a few months ago. I actually question if they had the name right of where they were staying since it was so totally opposite of anything we have experienced there!! My husband and I have stayed there several times and plan on going back next month. The rooms... More

Really great size, very comfortable, warm/cozy atmosphere, clean, plenty of room for a couple - includes a sitting area as well as a kitchenette, plenty of closet... More

I started visiting the Barnstead Inn with my parents and brother when I was a kid. We would drive up on a Friday night, get up in the morning and drive to Bromley or Stratton Mountains just 10 minutes away for a day of skiing. Now that I'm married, my husband and I continue the tradition every year, and he... More

My husband, two children, and I have stayed at the Barnstead Inn twice now and have had wonderful experiences both times -- staying at the Barnstead will be a family tradition for many winters to come. The rooms are beautiful and cozy, and Neil and Cindy are terrific hosts. I cannot say enough good about this place -- how terrific... More

My boyfriend and I have stayed several times at the Barnstead Inn during the ski season (2011 and 2012). Not only is the inn charming, comfortable and conveniently located, Neal (the owner) is a wonderful host. He always makes us feel like family, remembering us after we stayed just once. We now consider it 'our' place and look forward to... More
