we picked this place because we like to stay in historic hotels plus we love Manchester VT! it was a great vacation! Breakfast was delicious and the place is conveniently located close to everything! We would definately recommend this place to friends and family!

Ending a long weekend in southern Vermont in Manchester was something we have been looking forward to since the summer. When Hurricane Sandy disrupted our school schedule at home in NJ, three of the four of us planning this trip (teachers!) found ourselves working over what was supposed to be a long weekend in November to make up lost instruction...

Had a great time here- the staff was really nice and helpful. They upgraded us for free on a low booking day. I think we were the only people there our first night. They also let us check in early when we arrived to town several hours ahead of time. Breakfast was great- Made to order and turn down service... More

Stayed for two nights in fantastic Falling Spruce room.....a must! Service was impeccable. Everyone there simply cared about making your stay great. Breakfast included was very, very good. Cooked to order not a buffet. Location was perfect, and inn was well kept and well furnished. Do not be in any way reluctant to stay here. We will certainly return. Thank... More

We spent Sunday night at the beautiful Reluctant Panther Inn. The hotel is beautiful in every sense of the word and the rooms are perfectly appointed. The reception desk was very helpful and arranged two massages in our room before our dinner. We travel frequently and found the services and food at the restaurant to be top notch. We ventured...

Apparently there was a fire at this property and so now everything is new...and world class. Huge room with fireplace, gorgeous four-poster bed, bold colors on comfy couch, chairs and bench, and big bathroom with granite,... More

We stayed in one of the rooms in a side building. It had a strong potpourri smell and had stained carpeting, perhaps the sent was trying to cover something up. I should have tried to change rooms, but thought they were full. The breakfast was good, although the tea just grocery store quality. The staff was helpful, even printed out... More

It was our first stay at this lovely Inn and we loved it. We received a room upgrade at no extra cost. The staff were beyond professional, helpful and polite. The rooms were clean, well kept and the therapeutic tub was heavenly to say the least. The restaurant was excellent! Even the breakfast was very good served on villeroy and... More

My husband and I have stayed at this Inn every November for at least three years now and are always very happy with the accomodations, the food, etc. We used to stay at the Equinox but we found they offer less for far more money. At the Reluctant Panther, the rooms are much larger, spacious bathrooms and even the deluxe... More
