10/10
Black Lantern Inn is a cozy place to stay. The exterior may be showing its age—1803!—but the interior exudes lots of character & charm. It’s listed on the National Historic Registry. Easy check in. Our Rm 6 was spacious, clean, quiet, with comfy & some vintage furnishings. All rooms appear to be on the 2nd floor & there's no obvious elevator (it’s an old building after all).
Caveat re: our bathroom: toilet seat is loose & needs to be screwed tight; & don’t flush toilet while someone’s showering. Luckily this shower is roomy so hubby was able to dodge the sudden blast of hot H2O! The shower had a corner bench & jets along the bottom which we didn’t use.
Had pleasant interactions w/Catherine, one of the very nice hosts. They were very responsive to our needs & gave great restaurant recommendations. Each morning we enjoyed a continental breakfast in the bar—muffins, yogurt, juice. Great coffee & the homemade muffins were a treat.
Catherine said there are 5(?) families who rallied together to reopen & maintain this lovely historic inn. We applaud them. It’s a welcome change from a chain hotel. We look forward to staying again, hopefully the restaurant will have re-opened. Definitely recommend this charming getaway in Montgomery VT, with scenic covered bridges & waterfalls nearby.
One comment: some of the border wallpaper in Rm 6 is starting to peel from the wall though this didn’t affect our stay. I’d just hate to see it pull away more.
