Wonderful stay at the Brass Lantern!! Our room was a bit small but clean and quaint with beautiful views of Mt Mansfield. The owners were welcoming and accommodating.

Stay here!! My family and I have never been to VT before last weekend, and our stay at the Brass Lantern was wonderful. It is beautifully decorated, the beds and rooms were very comfortable. Breakfast was delicious, owners were gracious and accommodating, and the BEST part? Their 2 dogs! If we ever find our way back to Stowe, we will most certainly stay here again!
