Just returned from a short weekend trip to Manchester and I am so happy that we stayed at the Barnstead Inn! This place was such a peaceful, beautiful escape from the bustling noise of NYC. The room we stayed in was perfectly furnished - the owners have truly thought of every thing! I slept so well at the Barnstead Inn... More

I have no complaints. The premises are well manicured and designed, with lilacs in bloom and other flowers on their way. There were many places to sit outside and just listen to sound of the peepers, birds, and rain. We rested as soundly as we would in the countryside, yet we were a 5 minute walk from cafes, restaurants, and... More

My wife and I have visited Manchester on many occasions during the summer months but this was our first time in Spring. The Barnstead was the perfect location for our trips to the book store and other shopping in the center of town and the innkeepers were very helpful with directions and recommendations for restaurants and other sites. We stayed... More

Every time I think of Vermont....I think of Manchester, Vermont and then I think I better e-mail Neil at The Barnstead Inn right away!

The Barnstead Inn is... More

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
