We chose to stay here to break up our trip between CT and Quebec and we are thrilled we did so. The place is gorgeous....very well kept....and the staff lovely and very helpful. We did stay in the highest price room (reasonably priced and good value) and we are glad we did. Stay in the farm house if you can. The rooms in the main inn have small windows and are not as nice as the farm house. Pick up a bottle of wine on your way to the inn so you can enjoy it while sitting outside, with a fire if its cool, and watching the sunset over the distant mountains. Also, plan on mountain biking if it is good weather. We are novice mountain bikers and we loved the 3 hours mapped out for us by Mike, the chef. He kindly brought our bikes from the rental place in the town of East Burke to the inn so we could start our ride right behind the inn. Also, drive up to the top of Burke Mountain and hike up the fire tower for an insanely gorgeous 360 view. Willy's in town is a good spot for a casual dinner and is minutes from the inn. The general store is good for lunch. The only thing to double check here is your reservation....they did not have record of our reservation but fortunately they were not busy and we did not have a problem.

We stayed at the lodge with a group of friends this summer to ride at Kingdom trails. The lodge and its surroundings are breathtaking, peaceful and welcoming. The surrounding farm and buildings are idyllic and the common areas of the lodge make it feel like home. Breakfast on the veranda is lovely and a great way to start the day. The owners and staff at the lodge made us feel incredibly welcome and the chef, Mike, went out of his way to show us the trails and give us pointers. This is a fantastic place to stay for all types of people from a romantic getaway to a group of friends.

We just spend 3 nights and 4 days in the Great Northeast Kingdom riding mountain bikes and enjoying the beautiful Vermont countryside. We stayed at this picturesque inn that has direct access to the trails. We started each day with a delicious, hardy breakfast on the front porch of the inn. The views looking across rolling fields to Burke Mountain are incredible. After breakfast, Mike, the chef at the inn, gladly mapped out biking routes for us to follow based on our ability and we spent the day biking the best trails we’ve ever experienced! When we got back after biking, lemon aid and homemade cookies were waiting! In the evenings we sat outside around a fire and watch the sun set over the mountains. This is a wonderful, quintessential bed and breakfast, not a four star resort, so don’t expect king size, pillow-top beds, large bathrooms with soaking tubs and flat screen TVs. Expect a tastefully decorated, comfortable room with a small bathroom, a helpful, friendly staff; and gracious hostess/owner who loves the mountains of Vermont and is willing to talk with you about a property she truly loves. Can’t wait to go back!

Went with my husband and another couple Sunday-Wednesday in July for mountain biking at Kingdom Trails. The Inn met every expectation and then some. Perfectly restored & kept buildings, well appointed & quiet rooms, beautiful landscaping, fresh produce from the grounds and friendly staff. Felt like I was staying with friends vs. an at inn.

Mountain biking trails are literally in the backyard. Breakfast included was superb! We loved the "if you take it replace it policy" in the kitchen - great to see some places still operate on an honor system. Left our bikes unlocked in the barn - really nice.

Minor drawbacks, but definitely won't prevent me from returning: If you want amenities (pool, hot tub, full dining) this is not your place. However, good dining options are a 3-5 minute drive or 20 minute walk away.

Tip: Go mid-week for 20% discount on rooms, and includes pass to Kingdom Trails. The Chef, Michael, is also an expert Mountain Biker who is available to guide you through the expanse of trails. Also - loads of other outdoor activities are nearby. We kayaked and canoed in wetlands...gorgeous and peaceful.
