We chose to visit on the Memorial holiday weekend. From the moment Pauline had collected us at the RR station, we were impressed at how friendly our host was. Although only a 10 minute walk to the Guest House, the weather unfortunately was miserable - cold and very wet. We fell in love with the Guest House as soon as... More

My husband & I stayed at Back Inn Time recently & I'd have to say it was the worst B&B we have ever stayed at. The owner had volunteered to collect us from the railway station when we arrived but forgot we were coming so we were left stranded in the dark & cold until a railway employee called the... More

Stayed here for two nights. This is an old home that has been very skillfully restored with beautiful antiques in the whole house, but the bed in our room was horrible. We had a hard time sleeping because it was so uncomfortable. The room could have been more clean - dust bunnies on the floor. The shower curtain was moldy... More

We stayed one night at Back Inn Time. Breakfast was wonderful in the morning and the Inn was clean and pretty. Our room was very pretty and clean. We were very happy with our choice in Bed and Breakfasts.

Though St. Albans is a bit off the beaten path for Vermont tourists, Back Inn Time is an outstanding lodging option for those wishing to discover the area or explore the local rail trail. The inn is located about a quarter mile from downtown, making it an easy walk to the small restaurants, town square, and 3-screen cinema on the... More

The worst B & B I have ever stayed at. Dirty, including hair in the bathroom sink, mold in the shower, torn upholstery. The bed was filled with hard lumps. Breakfast was virtually inedible. What a shame, because the gardens are beautiful and the exterior is so pretty.

The June 19th reviewer had it right. Back Inn Time is what I think of as a “typical” New England B & B. (Think Newhart or the place in Groundhog Day). Different folks will react differently to it, depending on their personal preferences. Pauline, who ten years ago restored this old house on her own, is a delightful woman who... More

Arrived after a long bike ride hoping for a good soak in the tub to rest my weary muscles. Not only were both available tubs dirty but we weren't given a fresh bar of soap. I resorted to taking a hot shower but was disappointed when there was no hot water left after others had showered before me. As another... More

The Inn is a very old building. The innkeeper was super friendly. One caveat, no room keys! So if you expect to be able to lock your room door at night, you may not want to stay there. Not that anything happened, but it's a little weird to be in a hotel without a locking door. Also, if you are... More
