Tim and Paul were excellent. We arrived one day late due to weather conditions. We did not really know where to go but they helped us figure it out. Because of them, our experience was fabulous. Thank you!!

The property was charming, and I wish I had more time to take in the Ellis Inn's other amenities. I felt bad that I missed the original breakfast time on my first morning there due to jet lag, but Paula was so accommodating. The room was great, and the bed was a little too comfortable. It is an excellent location if you are visiting northern and central Vermont but be advised that parking can be a little tricky there. Though that could also be attributed to my lack of familiarity with the type of rental car I had. Overall a great experience.

The Ellis Inn is charming, historic, and beautifully maintained. Tim, Paula, Jessica, and Trevor were spectacular hosts, and we thoroughly enjoyed our time here! The property was so clean and inviting, and nights spent by the fireplace were wonderful. We are looking forward to returning next year!

Tim and Paula were so great. Very friendly and gave us recommendations for dining options and local activities. We had fun chatting with them over coffee in the morning while they prepped breakfast because we are early risers. We enjoyed the game room playing air hockey and cards. The pool table on the main floor was so much fun as well. So many rooms to enjoy on the main floor with books and tvs and sitting areas. We had fun playing the “Find Bernie Sanders bobblehead”. Trevor and Jessica were so nice and we got to meet a couple of their dogs, Minnie and her tongue was adorable. Trevor made the best pancakes. We definitely will stay here again, and are planning on booking all the rooms with our family and friends to enjoy for a getaway with us. Highly recommend The Ellis Inn! Best B&B we’ve ever been to!
