My husband took me for a surprise birthday present to this lovely Inn, we had never been to an "Inn" before so neither of us knew what to expect, but all we both could say was "Wow"! at every turn, the owner was so gracious and welcomed us with warm cookies and showed us around this beautiful property, then we...

A birthday stay at the historic Waybury Inn in the Robert Frost Room with my fiancé was perfect respite from busy work-a-day life. The room was impeccably appointed with antiques, tasteful wall décor and a delightful bed. The secret box's contents were endearing and heart warming to an extreme. Food at the pub and at breakfast was delicious and the... More

We did not stay at the Waybury Inn but attended their Sunday brunch. Since we arrived early, we had plenty of time to walk around and enjoy the historic setting. Everything appeared clean and the staff was very helpful. The brunch was fantastic - stuffed blueberry French Toast, eggs, quiche, potatoes, bacon, fruit, cheese, desserts. The wait staff was professional... More

My wife and I stayed at the Waybury on Christmas Eve, 2012 as part of a holiday visit with our daughter who lives in Burlington. We were very happy with the experience. The inn has all kinds of historic charm and is located right on the western boundary of the Green Mountain National Forest. You can hear the rush of... More

Our family spent New Years at the Waybury after discovering the Inn via the Internet. We were nervous making the long haul with two young children, site unseen, but were overjoyed by every aspect of our stay. The food, service, ambiance and proximity to Snowbowl made this Inn a hit with our entire family. As many New England inns do... More

We live in the area and eat at the Waybury Inn several times a year. We were a bit surprised that our recent Thanksgiving visit to their buffet was not all that we expected. We were seated in the pub at the back of the Inn and had to cope with people crowding the bar and knocking into our table.... More

We stayed one night in November on our New England honeymoon. It was an unplanned visit since we were driving and chose the Waybury since there was snow forecast that night and we wanted a B&B that had dining on site. The bar was nice with local beers on tap. We ate in the dining room and were pleased with... More

I shouldn't have even given this place one star. The room was clean for the most part, except for the spit bottle that was left beside the chair. I'm guessing it was one of the housekeepers because she always seemed to have a "buldge" in her mouth through out our stay. I believe she was the head housekeepers as I... More

Never, never again. True story: we made reservations for an early dinner in the dining room, with an elderly parent as our guest. Upon arrival, we were grumpily greeted by the owner, who went on to insist that we did not have a reservation. Not only had we made one, but the room was virtually empty. Our guest was simply...

We stayed two nights there. The room was fine although we couldn't get the heater on. As it turned out, we were fine. The food in the tavern was quite good and the service was good as well. Breakfast was wonderful with delicious specials each day. The french toast stuffed with a strawberry cream and thick Vermont maple syrup was... More
