Circa 1891. Rolling meadows and views of the Tacomic and Green Mountains surround this country inn gracing more than 10 acres with flower gardens accenting the grounds. Relax on a porch rocker, swim in the seasonal inground pool, and soak in the spa in the gazebo. Common rooms in the manor house include the large living room, media room and music room. People and pet friendly, stay in an air-conditioned guest room or suite on the second or third floor with Victorian period furnishings and a gas fireplace. Most have private entrances with sitting porches. Savor a home-cooked breakfast full of made-to-order classic foods. Be sure to make dinner reservations at Emma's, the fireside restaurant in the carriage house, serving New England fare Thursday through Sunday. Danby, Vermont is near the many shopping opportunities in Manchester and Rutland.

Never have I stayed at a B&B where the innkeepers were so friendly, sociable and helpful. They truly enjoyed their job.
