The Inn at Ormsby Hill

This was our first stay at a bed and breakfast and the experience has left me wondering why I have stayed at hotels exclusively! The Inn is immaculate and very well kept. The outside area around the back is beautiful and has a great view of the mountains. Yoshio and his wife Diane are extremely welcoming and friendly. You are greeted at the door upon arrival and given history, a tour, and great advice and suggestions for the area. Diane makes a home cooked simple healthy breakfast every morning at 9am which is perfect time to wake up, plan your day, eat and go. We stayed in the Gideon room which has its own private entrance off the side parking lot. If you are seeking a bit more privacy than typically found at an Inn that is the room you would like. The king sized canopy bed is very comfortable, there is a big deep two person whirlpool tub in the bathroom with a door that opens to the room. Our room was very clean and they leave no detail untouched. They think of everything! We had an amazing relaxing couples massage in our room, which was great not having to get dressed and go out into the real world immediately after. We were able to stay in our room in the soft bathrobes and stay mellow.
Great Inn, will definitely come back and will be highly recommended by myself and my boyfriend.

My husband and I stayed at the inn over Easter weekend. This was a return visit for us and it did not disappoint!
The inn and the room is spotless, well appointed and wonderfully respectful of the houses long and historic past. We stayed in the charming Frances room with it’s private balcony, his and her bathrooms, two person jacuzzi tub, steam shower and comfortable sitting room. Diane’s breakfasts were wonderfully tasty and attractively presented. The coffee from a local roaster is excellent. Diane and Yoshio keep on top of local restuarants and attractions and happily will make calls and give directions to whatever you need.
If you find yourself in the Manchester, VT area, you couldn’t find a better place to stay.

We enjoyed a mid-​week visit here in early Oct to see the VT fall foliage. We stayed in the Lincoln room which was lovely– two person tub and awesome steam shower. The breakfast food was delicious but you have to be an adventurous eater — goat cheese quiche, rum-​raisin bread pudding, and zucchini omelet were our meals. A few drawbacks — breakfast is served at 9am which is nice to get to sleep in but may be late if you have a full day and the inn is on a pretty busy road — so just bring earplugs (they even have some in the room) as you can hear the cars/​trucks thru the old windows.
We did two amazing hikes on portions of the Appalachian Trail as well as fun shopping in Manchester. Location of inn is just outside of town. The inn keepers can help plan hikes and scenic drives.

I immediately thought the same thing when I saw only two reviews. This was our first B&B experience and it certainly won’t be our last here. The hospitality Diane and Yoshio have is above what we expected. The inn is spotless from top to bottom and the décor for each room is unique and beautiful. We booked here to celebrate our 15 year anniversary and spoiled ourselves with the Taft Suite. Yoshio was so helpful in helping me planning our weekend. We enjoyed a tour of the Hildene Lincoln Family Home and later that day a side by side room massage in front of our fireplace. Every morning Diane makes an amazing nutritious breakfast and then comes out to greet her guests. The coffee Yoshio takes pride in is Mocha Joes and when you go please ask him about it. Another new favorite of ours and I located it right down the road from our house :) This is a place we will always come back to and we are already planning our next getaway!

We stayed here just this past weekend for the first time. What a wonderful experience!
A historic and well appointed house on immaculate grounds. You will feel right at home instantly. Beautiful rooms everywhere. Comfortable beds. Great view especially from the patio. So much to look at and enjoy. On top of all that, breakfast is truly a special experience!
Yoshio and Diane are wonderful hosts! We will certainly be back.
I, like Steve W., can’t believe there are so few reviews. Don’t let that fool you. You will not be disappointed!

We’ve been coming to the Inn at Ormsby Hill for 7 years now, almost once per year. Once we came here once we were hooked. The inn itself is a gorgeous colonial home with a rich history, and every guest room is richly appointed and spotlessly clean. I am constantly impressed by the innkeepers attention to every detail of our stay. The breakfasts are well-​prepared and healthy. The rates now during off-​season are very reasonable — allowing us to spend more money antiquing!
We just returned from a weekend getaway and the relaxation was total. if you are visiting Manchester I can highly recommend the Inn at Ormsby Hill.
I can’t believe that my review is still the only one for this place. They are always very busy — even during the off season weekend we just stayed there, they were full. Don’t let the scarcity of reviews dissuade you from staying here. There are plenty of reviews on TripAdvisor.
