I went here in October 2007 after viewing the positive reviews on their website, for a romantic getaway with my honey. They make it sound as if you will be staying in a charming old Victorian B&B. When I got there, it was not charming, it was merely run-down. It had the feel of an old cheap motel. Admittedly, the owner told us they had recently taken over, but it was not a pleasant stay. We didn't suffer too much from the road noise (the Inn is right on the main road through town) but quaint and cozy it was not. Definitely way overpriced; you'd be better off staying at the Best Western down the road, still close to Ben & Jerry's if you're there for the ice cream factory tour. I would never consider staying at the Thatcher Brook Inn again, even if they were to give me room for free.

My husband & I had the most wonderful stay at the Thatcher Brook Inn in Waterbury, VT. It's conveniently located to Burlington and Stowe. The rooms are decorated in authentic VT inn style. Everything is spotless and the decor of not only the rooms but the "common areas" gives you the feeling of luxurious, down-home comfort. The innkeepers couldn't have been friendlier or more helpful. They treated us like family. The breakfast was the best I've ever had! Home cooked ... gourmet...yet, homestyle. We felt like we were visiting royalty! The inn's grounds are beautiful...and everything about this romantic VT inn is impeccable! There was a TV in our room...but, we never turned it on! There's so much to do in the area...so much beautiful countryside to see! Our innkeepers provided a lot of information on what to see & do. There are some great restaurants in the area and plenty of VT ambience! We had planned on staying several other places...but, cancelled to spend more time at the Thatcher Brook Inn! We can't wait to come back in the summer and fall!

I stayed at the Thatcher Brook Inn on a weekend, while visiting in the area and found the room very clean and comfortable. I had friends to visit, but enjoyed meeting Carla and Bob, the Inn keepers as well.
I really enjoyed the breakfast quiche (several choices)...and found the breakfast was plenty for my appetite, with fresh fruit cup, and toast and sausage with the quiche as well. (the wheat toast is very very good). I also enjoyed the great Green Mtn. Coffee as well.
I do travel to that area from time to time and will plan to return again. The winter time snow surrounding the Inn was beautiful and the cozy fireplace area was also very comfortable for some quiet reading time. I think staying in a room with a fireplace would be worth the treat next time...!
The Inn is older, but well-kept, and met my expectations for a Vt. Country Inn! Thanks to Carla and Bob who were very gracious hosts during my stay.

The room (#14) was very clean and simply decorated. There was wifi available in the room. The staff were nice enough, but not overly friendly.

If you're looking at Goddard College, this is a convenient location to stay.
