Cute inn
We really enjoyed the location of the Inn. Very tranquil. The main floor was very welcoming and cozy. Games were available for quiet playing and there were a variety of drinks available at the bar. Breakfast was very good. Nice choices from the menu. Service took some time. We wanted to leave to go skiing but waited at least 30 min for breakfast to arrive. Room was spacious in Norman Rockwell room. Kids enjoyed sinfle bed nooks. Lots of natural light to wake up to in morning. Saw a few spiders on floor. Probably goes with age of building. Otherwise very clean. Only drawback...we purchased on hotels.com. Said this was final price..nothing owing. Upon departure from inn we were told we owed money for "extra guests" in room even though there were 5 beds in room. My husband had asked upon arrival if we owed anything or if all was taken care of and they said we owed nothing. A bit upsetting.

Autumn in Vermont
We decided to take an Autumn trip to Vermont to see the foliage. The West Mountain Inn is a great place to stay because it's off the beaten track but close enough to town to enjoy shopping restaurants etc. Its actually quite self contained with beautiful grounds that include gardens for strolling and their own hiking trails in the ' back forty'. We had a great stay in the Govenor Chittenden room with great views and a nice sitting area. Breakfast which is included is off of a small complete menu that includes pancakes, oatmeal and various egg dishes. We had dinner one night and it was wonderful too. I had the venison special and my husband had salmon. There is a nice little full bar and private sitting areas on the main floor. The only place with a TV was in a secluded area off the bar, where someone was catching up on football. People were reading or visiting and playing board games. The staff is friendly but not obtrusive and very attentive. A nice detail was the coffee, tea station with fresh cookies available anytime. The room was clean, cozy and comfy.

Beautiful old B and B with amazing fall foliage surrounding it. We stayed in the main building and it was great but we were on the 3rd floor so you needed to be able to climb narrow stairs. Wonderful breakfast. Would definitely stay here again.

A Wonderful Respite in Vermont
West Mountain Inn is a lovely country inn. Each room is different, ours was #1 which was bright and airy with a large bath and a pillow top king size bed. The grounds are beautiful and we enjoyed feeding apples to the alpacas. The farm to table restaurant was excellent. One of the many selections for breakfast was fresh raspberry pancakes. Dinner was delicious with a choice of 8 entrees. The staff couldn't have been more accommodating. We definitely plan to return and wish we could have stayed longer.

Beautiful scenery, excellent food, caring staff.
The Inn was very homey and charming, as was our room. The staff was very warm and friendly and so helpful in suggestions of things to do. We had a wonderful weekend, celebrating our 50th Anniversary in beautiful Vermont! I would highly recommend this Inn to anyone who is looking for a true Vermont experience in a beautifully decorated Inn. Even with all of the ice and snow that plagued the roads and walkways, it seemed almost like a fairy tale adventure. We will definitely go back again to enjoy the beauty and hospitality of this wonderful little Inn!

A good location, almost in the middle of nowhere
Good location for a tour of New England that takes in Vermont. The inn's location means you're rather captive unless you drive to the next town. Dinner is offered, but you must take the 3 course option in full (its sold as 5 course, but thats a bit misleading).Service was slow when the inn was busy, but staff were trying their best. There are grounds you can walk in and some other routes signed from the inn. The room was fine, with balcony with a view of the grounds and mountains. Public lounge area was spacious and had plenty of books.

Not as expected
Not as expected. We were put in a building away from the main hotel. Had to drive up to the restaurant each morning, felt very isolated and not cared for. Won't be staying there again.

Different
It was comfortable, but just barely. Amenitites that were extended in other B&B's and inns such as extra blankets, coffee/tea/water in room, toiletries, clock, radio or TV in room were not present. The WiFi was spotty or non existant during the stay. There was no one at the front desk to help us out. The person that greeted us upon our arrival certainly didn't appear to care or have a vested interest in us as guests. The wait staff for the morning breakfast were good as were the selections offered. It certainly is in a lovely location in a beautiful area. With just a little effort could be a lovely place to stay.

Perfect Vermont setting
We were delighted to find the inn, up on West Mountain. The grounds a gorgeous and everyone so friendly. also, the area of Arlington is special, historically, and staying at the Inn added to our sense of "Vermont". We would def go back.

Great Food & Avoid the Cottage
The food and service was excellent! The Expedia website does not tell you that "May Ann's" and "Will's" rooms are in a cottage and not in or very close to the Inn. The cottage is a bit shabby on the outside as is the Inn at the outside entry.

Great visit
This was my first visit to this area of Vermont. Although the town of Arlington is quite small, this is a great value and not far from Manchester which is where we spent most of our time. It seems like the area is either filled with $500 a night places or no-tell motels. Very quite and secluded with a nice dining room, sitting room, and bar.

Brilliant Inn for Couples
My wife and I stayed for two days as part of a tour of New England. Couldn't fault the facilities, cleanliness of the rooms or attitude and helpfulness of the staff - we would recommend the inn to any couples looking to stay for a few days, or longer

Getaway to Vermont
We stayed here as part of our 1 year anniversary celebration. Very cozy, secluded in the hills but only 15 min away from Manchester. The rooms are adorable and breakfast was fantastic. Tell the person working at the front desk you want to feed the alpacas & they will give you chopped up apples to give to them. Very relaxing, what we needed

West Mountain Inn Arlington VT
Charming B&B on a mountainside, surrounded by hills, meadows,and a stream. Located a couple miles off the main road, very quiet, beautifully landscaped, lots of hiking trails. Rooms all different, comfortable. Breakfast included, restaurant has a prix fixe dinner every night. Apparently the B&B hosts lots of weddings, it's that kind of place. We stayed only one night when passing through, apparently most guest stay 2-3 days. Not too many other dining options in the closest town, but there are restaurants on the road north to Mansfield, and many many in Mansfield, which is 10 or 15 miles north.

West Mountain Inn, Arlington, VT
There had been a fire in the Main lodge and major renovation, so no restaurant but a lovely breakfast was provided by nearby Arlington Inn. We stayed in a townhouse on the property that was comfortable, clean, warm, overlooking a brook. Interesting antiques, though we were on business and could not linger, this is a great place for a "Not too expensive" getaway. Hostess was very gracious and accommodating.

Great stay!
We were very impressed with the beautiful old inn (over 100 yrs. old) ane the innkeepers (Amy and all). The food (fine dining) was very good and the accommodations and grounds were exceptional. Staff was outstanding in every way. Amy even gave us a choice of rooms after we arrived, and lady at front desk gave us basket of carrots &apples to feed alpacas, which ate right out of our hands! We had a little deck w/ rockers and twin beds in room w/ private bath. Beautifully decorated, not overdone. Impressed by journals in each room wherein many guests who had stayed in each wrote a bit of their experiences at the inn. So enjoyable to read! We stayed 2 nites & were considering a 3rd, but had made other arrangements. Loved it!

Romantic hotel
The hotel was like what we expected. We are Gilmore Girls fans and wanted to stay in a hotel that has the style of the "Dragon Fly Inn Hotel" of the series :-) And I found it! A romantic hotel in the middle of the green mountains of Vermont. After breakfast we went outside walking through the wonderful garden. We stayed in the Norman Rockwell Room, perfect for a family with lots of space. We just stayed for one night but we can recommend a longer stay, summer or winter. Both will work. If we come back to Vermont I would definitely choose West Mountain Inn again.The breakfast was served at the table. Just lovely and a very individual service.

Rundum empfehlenswertes Hotel der gehobenen Klasse
Mitten in der Natur gelegenes, Familien-geführtes Hotel mit liebevoll individuell im amerikanischen Landhausstil eingerichteten Zimmern. Bequemer Club-ähnlicher Charakter in den Gesellschaftsräumen. Bemerkenswert gute und abwechslungsreiche Küche mit Betonung auf lokalen Produkten. Idealer Standort (besonders zur Zeit der Laubfärbung in Neuengland) für anspruchsvolle Gäste, die eine Auszeit in einem komfortablen, ruhigen Ambiente aus der "guten alten Zeit" nehmen wollen.
