In our relatively short existence (Stone Hill Inn opened in December 1998), we have been singled out from other Vermont inns for praise by The Washington Post, The Montreal Gazette, USA Today, Travel Holiday Magazine, Ski Magazine, Vermont Magazine, & The New York Times. We have rated highly among Vermont bed and breakfasts and are recommended by Frommer's Travel Guide, Fodor's New England, The Discerning Traveler, Bernice Chesler's Bed and Breakfasts in New England, New England's Best, Karen Brown's New England and Inn Spots & Special Places. But we think our guests say it best. Here are just some of the wonderful compliments from our guestbook. We hope it will help give you a feel for the Inn.
