This place is so very special. The hosts are so kind and went out of their way to get to know us and show us where to go in the area based on our interests. The breakfasts were delicious, and the spa was a welcome amenity at the end of a long car ride or a long hike.

This is a hidden gem. The property is amazing. The hosts Karen and Mick delightful, Delicious breakfast and an environment full of outdoor opportunities!

Delicious gourmet breakfasts with the BEST scones ever, an amazing sauna accompanied by a cold plunge and jacuzzi to enjoy every evening, spacious and comfortable rooms, and the kindness and generosity of truly exceptional hosts—Mick and Karen. You feel cared for and cared about, in this nourishing and beautiful space.

I really can’t say enough good things about this property. Mick and Karen were marvelous hosts. Our family had a wonderful time at their bed and breakfast which feels like a warm and welcoming home. It always smelled amazing inside - whether from baking cookies, mulling cider or home cooking. Karen and Mack outdid themselves every morning with a 3 course gourmet breakfast - best scones ever! The Beatrice Suite was perfect for our family of four. I wasn’t brave enough but my family loved the cold plunge, sauna and hot tub after a long day of skiing. Sugarbush Mountain is just an 8 minute drive and there are lots of delicious options for food to choose from close by. This is a great location for winter sports and looking forward to coming back and experiencing this beautiful property in the summer!

Had an excellent stay at the Featherbed late Dec 2025. Great place to stay with kids. Innkeepers are super nice.

Oh my goodness! Staying at Featherbed was the best experience! Karen & Mick are such knowledgeable and enthusiastic hosts. Every tip they gave us was absolutely spot on. Breakfast is exceptional - a gourmet experience every morning and with such a lovely atmosphere around the communal tables. Sadly we were only there for two nights and didn't have time to experience the new sauna and plunge pool - really wish we had booked for a longer stay as there is so much to do in the area and, from the quality of the bedding to the access to trails, Featherbed is perfect in every way. Nothing at all!

Beautiful property. Loved the sauna and hot tub.

Beautiful setting around the house. The inn itself was very comfortable. Loved the old charm it had. The hosts, Karen and Mick, made you feel welcomed and took the time to interact with all their guests. We loved our stay here! N/A

Karen and Mick are the BEST....they are a team that welcomes you into their family as soon as you arrive. The Inn is so homey, the bedroom so welcoming and the bed/pillows/bedding.....AMAZING. They are the best guides for anything in the area. BUT...the breakfasts are gourmet delicious! !!! Not a thing

Beautiful gardens in a lovely area of Vermont. Very cozy and lovingly maintained.

Beautiful inn situated in picturesque surroundings only minutes from historic Waitsfield. Great room and facilities including spa, outdoor fire. Our bed (yes, it was a featherbed) was incredibly comfortable, breakfasts were a treat with all local produce and our hosts (Karen and Mick) were amazing, very knowledgeable about local tourist attractions and places to visit.

The only negative was that the doors to the buildings and rooms did not have locks.
-
The best features of the accommodation were the comfort and cleanliness of the room, the extreme friendliness and helpfulness of the innkeepers, and the fabulous three course hot breakfasts (especially the homemade scones). The only negative was that the doors to the buildings and rooms did not have locks.
-
The drive to Sugarbush is quick and well worth the drive to stay at the Featherbed Inn. We would stay here again in a heartbeat.
-
