The 1824 House Inn + Barn resonates with the charm of the past, while retaining the comforts of today. Conveniently located on historic Rt 100, The 1824 House Inn + Barn is just minutes to both Sugarbush and Mad River Glen ski resorts. We are proud to offer eight comfortable rooms with private baths, featherbeds, beautiful views and a full menu for cooked to order breakfasts. Guests also enjoy our cozy fireplace, free wi-fi access throughout as well as a television in the common room. Swim in our clear Mad River swimming hole in the summer and snowshoe or sled our property in the winter! The inn also serves as an idyllic Vermont wedding and event venue. Don't miss our rustic barn or the views from our river-front pasture and hilltop meadow which serve as the property's most celebrated event sites.

Our first visit - this place immaculate- clean, fresh, bright with a tasteful “country” decor ... hits all the right notes and none of them too hard. The owners, Sean and Farrell, are super friendly and custom cook you delicious breakfasts and are happy to accommodate special requests. They have modern communications and locking systems so it’s easy even if you come in late. Don’t expect spa showers and individual climate control but I can’t say enough good things about this place. And in this time of hyper awareness around disinfecting I’ll add that they actually sterilize the rooms using an ozone machine. We saw the machine on our way out and the owner told us how he learned about ozone sterilization when he was in the wine business. Very cool!

We have stayed in many Bed & Breakfast Inns. What is most important to us is a comfortable bed and a clean room. 1824 House met our needs admirably. We stayed in the Caledonia room. King size bed was very comfortable. Best sleep I have had in a long time. Our room had its own entrance to the back with a porch with two chairs to enjoy the view. Caledonia is on the dog friendly part of house so the outside entrance would be very nice for your pet. The owners have 2 large friendly dogs that you will see if you choose to stay in the Caledonia room. Breakfast offered many choices on a menu you ordered from which was a nice touch.

The 1824 House is without a doubt one of the best. Farrell and Sean run a fantastic place and cater to your every need. Their dining room is beyond fabulous. The ambiance is terrific, the view of the mountains looking out through the huge barn doors is just plane spectacular. And ,OMG, the food is exceptional, the service outstanding and the prices are reasonable. This place is a real find and MUST to visit or just for a great meal.

We very much enjoyed our stay at this nice little Inn. Our room was not too spacious but very comfortable and clean. Breakfast with several options cooked to order was exceptional. Blueberry pancakes became our favorite. Sean and Farrell are very friendly hosts and had helpful tips to make the most out of our time in the area.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here - the feather bed was so comfortable and the bedding so light that we thought we were floating on air. The owners, John and Karl, have the knack of offering true hospitality to their guests and the breakfasts were delicious - John is a gourmet chef and each day of our stay he created an imaginative feast - we were only sorry we did not get to eat dinner as the summer menu looked divine. The inn is a romantic retreat and hats off to the inn-keepers for not batting an eyelid when a family turned up with two small children who had not been mentioned when the booking was made - and whose mother took over the kitchen to cook the kids' evening meal. Homemade treats are served at tea-time each day and the lounge is a restful retreat, as is the gazebo in the extensive gardens. Karl was building a deck while we were there so we will have to return to try it out - and to spend another night in one of those wonderful beds.

After watching my sister and her new husband spend literally thousands of dollars at the 1824 house for their wedding I think it is fair to say myself and the other members of the wedding party that stayed there were THOROUGHLY disappointed. One of the owners, Karl, has no clue as to the meaning of customer service. He was snooty and cared more about his “house rules” than the satisfaction and happiness of his customer. Karl even had the gall to not serve myself and THE GROOM breakfast because we were half an hour late (cutoff was 9:30am we got there at 10am). A bowl of cereal, a peanut butter and jelly sandwich or anything would have been nice since it was the day of the wedding and breakfast had already been paid for. Other examples: after not planning for enough beer and running out, Karl went to the store and bought 4 cases and charged my sister $192. When trying to figure out how to get our father’s wheelchair up their drive way Karl said “that’s not my problem!”. I am sure others will write more examples in their reviews, stay tuned…
In closing, I think it would be a shame for the current owners of the 1824 House to continue to treat their future customers this poorly and make money in doing so!

We stayed for one night and were happy it was only one night.
The only good thing--the rooms are clean, the feather beds quite comfortable, and breakfast was yummy.
HOWEVER--when you stay at a B&B, you are paying for more than a room. You are paying for hospitality, conversation, afternoon tea/drinks/meeting, and a friendly atmosphere. We got NONE of the above. We arrived, after a 4 hour drive in the pouring rain, trudging through mud in the front yard, to a host who shouldn't be called a host. He barely welcomed us before leading us to a room, through the kitchen and by large slobbering dogs, and locked us in. Seriously. He never told us when breakfast would be, he never gave us a key, he never mentioned any afternoon tea time. We sat there for a while before deciding to go out and explore. We walked back by the big slobbering dogs, past the kitchen, into an empty parlour where we sat and looked around. We read the signed guest book, full of entries saying "John and Karl are wonderful! So hospitable!" We wondered where we were. We got up to taste a cookie that was in the entry way (having read in a magazine about their famous cookies) but after a taste, wondered if they were, indeed, plastic. After staying in the parlour for half an hour, we left, headed out to a nice dinner, and returned to the room. Only in the morning did we meet the second host and were forced to listen to guests next to us complaining about the lack of tomato juice and how one sad old man wanted to stay in the bride's room for an upcoming wedding. All we could do was laugh, and get out. Also, the receipt for the room had a tip place on it! How odd.
If you want hospitality, go somewhere else. Maybe it was that we were only staying 1 night, maybe it was that we are women, but for whatever reason, our hosts need a lesson in how to run a bed and breakfast.

Felt rushed through breakfast and dinner, and was put off by the poor customer service shown by one of the Innkeepers (can't remember his name). He was very friendly on the phone but not so much in person, which made us uncomfortable. Wouldn't go back again. Lovely property though. Very steep stairways made getting to the rooms with luggage difficult.

We were part of an Inn to Inn horseback riding vacation during the last week of August '04. The brochure sited the Inn keeper John, as having a TV show and a cook book promising culinary delights--and even listed the menus of gourmet entrees. However, after sitting down to dinner we were served a CHEESEBURGER along with an ear of corn and a salad. --passed around from table to table after the server Carl, set it down and left us on our own. No courses etc. except dessert. We paid over $1200.00 per person double occupancy for the all inclusive 5 day trip so we were shocked to say the least...The menu printed out in the rooms listed filet mignon stuffed with blue cheese and wrapped in bacon etc....NOT!!! However, all of the other local Inns we visited (The Madd River Inn and The Waitesfield Inn provided appitizers, along with extensive gourmet dinners by candlelight which everyone lingered over and enjoyed very much. The rooms were nice but it was obvious our stay there was a money maker with a cheap easy fast dinner thrown in. I would not return nor send anyone else there.
