Quaint, comfortable and a delicious breakfast

The hosts are welcoming, the B&B is cozy and clean, and the breakfast is delicious. This is an old house from the 1800’s with all the charm you would expect, but completely renovated to have all the modern conveniences and very clean. The wood burning fireplace is so inviting. The breakfast is not your typical breakfast. It is a three course delight. We stayed 2 nights. The first morning we had a sweet scone, followed by a poached pear followed by a potato frittata with lox and poached egg. The second morning we had a savory cheese scone, followed by a citrus compote, followed by fresh ricotta and lemon pancakes. The drive to Sugarbush is quick and well worth the drive to stay at the Featherbed Inn. We would stay here again in a heartbeat.

Caring innkeepers

Mick and Karen are like family. In the best ways possible. I was jet lagged and they made sure to leave food out for when I woke up early. That's the kind of care you won't get in any other other bed and breakfast and certainly not in a hotel chain. My son and I had a fabulous trip here - the skiing is great at Sugarbush (just a couple of miles down the road). We plan to be back!

Wow! Love this B&B, couldn't have been better

Such an amazing historic yet beautiful and clean rooms and cottages and the food is five star! The owners Mick and Karen go out of there way to make your stay perfect and even have delicious cookies in the evening and guests can goto common family room in front of fire to share there day with others, have tea and cookies, play fuss-ball or one of there many games. Great location as well and so much to do in all seasons in the area. A true gem I will be going back to. Picts are of making the largest Guinness record book Smore at festival end of December and the adorable little mouse that has been in the main house staircase for decades. Wish I had taken picts of B&B as it is so charming and I was lucky enough to be sleeping on a feather bed with a lace canopy and lace comforter her great grandmother had knit and room in the cottage was so spacious yet warm and cozy.

True North families will find this place SO incredibly healing. It’s prettier than the pictures show. The beds are amazing. Breakfast is delicious. Linda is the perfect balance of present but not imposing at all. I normally am not a fan of bed and breakfasts but Linda May have changed my mind. Rather I’ll return to Feather Bed Inn for sure :). She mentioned her pony recently passing and being in process of finding another equine companion and I look forward to see who she picks when I return. Personally I travel a lot for business so having the animals helps curb the homesickness. When I stayed she only had her dog and outside cat, but they were perfect.
