Lovely Bed and Breakfast
We had a lovely stay at the Ira Allen House. Breakfast was hot and delicious and Mike accommodated our gluten free needs from fresh pancakes to homemade cookies. We will definitely be coming back on our next trip to Vermont.

A Delightful Place to Stay in Southwestern Vermont
The inn is old and doesn't offer the luxury of other inns and B&Bs in the area. But it was still a wonderful place to stay at a very good value. Michael, the owner, could not have been more attentive to our needs. He made a fantastic breakfast for us every day (as well as scrumptious cookies) that exceeded in both quality and quantity what one typically gets from more expensive inns & B&Bs. In addition, the room and bed were very comfortable and the shower was perfect. The inn was a short drive from Manchester and many good restaurants. I definitely recommend it.
