A distinguished Bed & Breakfast in southern Vermont “...where everyone's treated like family” |
|
Guests often leave a note behind in their rooms or send us a card, letter or e-mail after they have returned home. Here are some of their unsolicited comments:
The Inn is great! Your interior decor is traditional yet eclectic: respects the old yet creatively mixes an amazing assortment of curiosities that are surprising, fun and delightful! Every room is a visual feast! Your breakfasts were also feasts. They propelled us well into the afternoon each day. Our room was comfy. Thanks for the tour of the other rooms - all very true to the pictures on your website - very appealing and spacious!
Best of all we enjoyed learning from you about the area, the Inn and it's history, people and Vermont traditions - we feel like we know Vermont so much better now - something only your bed and breakfast experience can provide. Thanks for sharing with us!
We hope to return again - perhaps in the spring next time.
Beth B. and Cliff P., Scranton, PA 3/8/08
We will be back all
the way from Denmark, that's for sure!

Your breakfasts
are not ordinary, but more of a gourmet breakfast. We loved your
pancakes--the lightest, most delicious pancakes we have ever tasted.
And we thought we had been transported to my Grammy’s kitchen when you
presented us with your maple-baked pears and very delicious baked French
toast. Yummy!

Hello Bill & Paul,
Dear Bill and Paul,
It was pure serendipity that we found and stayed at Chester House. You have successfully combined great service with outstanding accommodations. Bravo!!

Bill and Paul:
Just a note to say how much we enjoyed our brief stay at your lovely B&B.
Karyn R. -- Raymond, NH
Paul and Bill,
Thank you so much for making our family's brief stay at your lovely inn interesting and fun. All eight of us felt so much at home and really enjoyed the time you spent helping us to get to know Chester and other parts of Vermont. Thanks also for your tip re the fire tower at the summit of Okemo. We all (except Aunt Joan) climbed to the top and were awed by the spectacular view. We hit quite a few neat shops along the way and on our way back to Rt. I-91. It was one of those weekends we'd all be happy to do over. Hats off to you and Paul! All the best,
Kathy S. -- East Northport, NY
Every guest room is more beautiful than the other, and the dining room is gorgeous! Even the keeping Room is a work of art. The bed was very comfortable and we had a couple of good nights' sleep. We enjoyed our visit very much.
Thank you for a great visit. Will recommend your B&B to anyone who is going to stay in Chester.
Thank you, Bill & Paul. We had a wonderful stay at the Chester House. See you again! -
Bill and Paul -
I hope you both have a great summer, fall, and winter - and we'll be back next spring - or maybe even sooner for the Vermont Quilt Shop Hop. Thanks again - and keep up with those omelets - they were great!
Bill and Paul,
It was a pleasure to meet you and Paul this weekend. Charlie, Tommy and I had a pleasant visit and a scrumptious breakfast. Nice job! You are certainly in the right type of business because you are very good at it. The Inn is beautiful and you have done a great job in keeping it in good shape. Much success to you in the future,
Donna, Charlie and Tommy J. -- Clarkesville, NH

Paul and Bill,
James and I wanted to say thank you so much for making our stay in Chester Vermont wonderful! The "blue room" was so beautiful and comfortable, and taking a nice soak after a long day of great skiing was just perfect. From the delicious breakfast in the morning to a nice glass of wine and conversation at the end of the day, you provided a great get-away for us at the Chester House Inn. We look forward to coming back soon! Thanks again!
Nora and James H. -- Flushing, NY

Marian M. -- Hudson, NH
Paul and Bill,
We really enjoyed our visit with you, and as far as we're concerned, you and the Chester House Inn were the HIGHLIGHT of our visit to Vermont. Both of you were such outstanding hosts, we truly felt right at home from the moment we arrived to, sadly, when we had to say "Good-bye." We look forward to seeing you both again someday soon.
Ruth and Bob -- Grand Rapids, MI
PS: We absolutely loved your Baked French Toast, and thank you so much for giving us your recipe. Bob still says it's the very best French toast he has ever had. I'm sure you've heard that a few hundred times, huh?
Bill and Paul,
We had a GREAT time at the Chester House this past weekend. Thank you for sharing your home. We loved being able to talk with you and learning about the Inn's history. We will be back, probably in August.
Kathy and Jim J. -- Winchendon, MA
Bill and Paul -
I would like to thank you
for the fantastic time this weekend. I had an absolutely wonderful time.

Hello!
Holly and I had a wonderful time, and wished we could have stayed longer. You certainly made us feel at home and we appreciated all your help finding restaurants, directions to places, etc. We would certainly come back again, and hope to do so. Thanks again,
Margaret K. and Holly Burdett -- West Kingston, RI
Hello, Bill and Paul!
We want to thank you for making us feel so comfortable and welcome during our stay at the Chester House Inn. It was so nice to have an energizing breakfast to fuel us up and a relaxing place to come home to after our long work days. We are still thinking about the delicious sugared pears, world-famous omelets, and Baked French Toast!! Your helpful directions and tourist suggestions were appreciated, as well.
Thank you, again, for making our first time in Vermont a great one! We definitely know where we have a place to stay upon our return!
Erin and Justin -- Chicago, IL
Hi guys:
Just wanted to thank you for the great breakfast and nice room when we were there two weeks ago. The boat got back safely and we have begun to work on it in earnest.
It was super meeting both of you. We had a great time.
Mike & Marta -- Montreal
Dear Bill and Paul,
Pete and I thank you for your wonderful hospitality and such a lovely stay in your home two weeks ago. The room was perfect and the breakfasts so creative, delicious and healthily light yet filling.
Hopefully we will do Okemo again next year and if so, will definitely call you again. Meanwhile, we are spreading the word about your lovely home in your lovely village.
By the way, although we never mentioned it we had arrived in sad circumstances for us. One of Peter's brothers had died the night before we arrived and we knew that as soon as we got home we would be flying south for his memorial service. So complete relaxation with no frustrations or upsets were just what we needed. It apparently was only natural for you to provide that atmosphere without even knowing our circumstances. We appreciate it greatly and it made our trip a happily memorable one.
Thank you both, again. Love,
Carole and Peter P. -- Smithtown, NY
Dear Bill and Paul:
Just want to let you know that we enjoyed our stay at Chester House Inn even though it was a short one.
The Inn is beautiful and we loved the stories you shared about its history and how you came to make it such a treasure in so short a time.
Thanks again for a memorable stay.
Bill and Nancy -- East Haddam,
CT
Dear Paul and Bill,
Thanks so much for your hospitality. The room was great, and the breakfast
was delicious! All the best,
Ben and Kathleen -- Brighton,

Dear Bill & Paul,
Thanks for having everything set up so beautifully for our arrival. We all
had a wonderful stay. Hope to see you next year.
Heidi and Tom -- Scarsdale, NY
Dear Paul & Bill,
I want to thank you both for making my mother, sister and me feel so welcome at
the Inn when we came up for our "Girls Weekend." You advertise
the Inn as a place "where everyone's treated like family," and that is
so true! We felt very much at home and appreciated all of the little
things you did to make our stay so enjoyable. I'm sure we'll be back!
Jill S. -- Pembroke, NH
Hi Bill and Paul:
We were just reminiscing about the wonderful time we had in Vermont at the Chester House in early October with our friends, thanks to your warm and gracious hospitality....
What a beautiful inn you have! You both made us feel so welcome! Whenever my work day is stressful, I pull up your
web site on my computer and think about the lovely room we had at Chester House and
about the great breakfasts you served. I have suggested to several colleagues that they must visit you.
As for the four of us, we would love to come back. Thanks so very much from all of us....wishing you all the best!
Maureen E. -- Vancouver,
Canada
Dear Bill & Paul
I want to thank you both
again for your gracious hospitality during my family's stay in August. We

Great website! We wish you continued success in the future.

VERY navigable and informative web site. One of the best I've seen in a long time! Thank you.

Dear Paul and Bill,
A lovely place!
Great conversation, delicious strawberries & cream, and one of the best
breakfasts ever, made our stay one to remember. More importantly meeting
the two of you made a special time even more memorable. Take care of yourselves
and we look forward to seeing you again!
Tamara & Brian --
Newington, CT
Dear Paul and Bill,
What a fabulous time we had staying at the Chester House, we can't wait to return next year! Everything was just perfect. We've stayed at several B&Bs priced much higher than yours that don't close to being as classy, as friendly or as relaxing. We used to think that we had to pay dearly for high-end B&B lodging, but you have proved us wrong. Keep up the fine job!
John and Kate -- Allentown, PA
Paul and Bill,
Thank you for such a wonderful stay at your charming inn.
The room was perfect and the breakfasts were excellent. (I'm still thinking about those pears!!!)
We hope to make another visit soon. Wish you the best!
Tiffany and Jason -- Boston,
MA
Bill and Paul,
We had a wonderful time at the Chester House this past weekend. Your inn is so beautifully
decorated, warm and comfortable, and impeccably clean! And your breakfasts
were such a treat! You know, it's your web site that brought us to you.
We
hope others will find is as helpful as we did when choosing a place to stay in
Vermont. We're so glad we found you on the Internet! Thank you.
Yvonne and Alex
-- New York, NY
Dear Bill and Paul,
We had a grand time on
our trip and one of the highlights was our time in Chester.... We enjoyed your
special brand of hospitality.... Thank you for being such great hosts.
Joe and Bette -- Fairfield, TX

you again. We wish you all the best.
Brian & Colleen --
Levittown, NY
Dear Paul and Bill,
Thank you very much for your very warm and friendly hospitality during my recent visit to Vermont. I enjoyed meeting both of you and enjoyed my stay so much. The Chester House is a lovely inn and you were wonderful hosts.
Your signature baked pears were wonderful and I had to make them for my husband as soon as I got home. Thanks for the recipe.
You were perfect hosts
and did all those little things that make your B&B so outstandingly delightful. I
look forward to visiting again!
Karen -- Plymouth, IN
Dear Paul and Bill,
A quaint town, a
charming inn and delightful innkeepers...we look forward to our visit to the Chester House

We had a very relaxing weekend and we are so happy that we made your Inn part of

shows. Continued luck with the Inn. Have wonderful Holidays!
Dawne & Greg -- Berlin, CT
PS: That steam shower is fab-u-lous!
Dear Bill and Paul:
We just want to thank you for making our visit to VT so very special. The accommodations at your Inn were great.
Both of you helped to complete our stay with your warm hospitality. We enjoyed our time spent in the
Keeping Room playing games, reading the newspapers, visiting with the other guests, and Paul's story telling.
You both offered so much on what we should do, what we should see and where we should eat.
Our visit was "A-OK."
We hope to come back. Stay well and Good Luck with the Inn.
Carole and Bill -- Manahawkin,
NJ
Dear Paul and Bill,
Room #4 really made our celebration of our 35th wedding anniversary special. We felt like we were back in the 1780s with the beautiful furnishings in the room. The view of the Village Green from your front porch was relaxing as we rocked in the rocking chairs and simply absorbed the peacefulness of the surroundings.... You both were generous hosts, making us feel welcomed and relaxed, yet not taking away from our time together.
Thank you for helping make our Vermont getaway special.
Linda and Paul -- Uncasville, CT
Bill and Paul,
We want to say thanks for a great stay at the Chester House. It was our first experience with a B&B, and we loved it!! Your place is beautiful, Chester is so quaint, and you two were perfect hosts.
Thanks for making Elaine's birthday weekend even more special! We'll be back.
Alan and Elaine - Weymouth, MA

Just wanted to say we had a wonderful time at your inn! Even though it was only a one night stay, the experience was great. Our room was beautiful, the bed was sooooooo comfy and the breakfast was superb. Chester is a neat town, and we're looking forward to exploring the area more next time - and staying longer! Thanks for making our 3rd anniversary special!
Jennifer & Stacey -- Marietta,

Thanks, Paul and Bill. We had a great time at your beautiful Inn. You are both experts at accommodating the weary traveler. Best of luck and we hope to see you soon.

Sue -- West Babylon, NY
We want to thank you for a terrific stay. We had a great time and definitely plan on returning to the Chester House.
Mike and Frank -- Providence, RI
Sarah and I returned safely home to Syracuse yesterday morning. We both wanted to write to thank you for the wonderful experience we had with you this week. This was our first stay in a bed & breakfast, and it was everything we thought it would be and more. Every B&B we stay at in the future (which will undoubtedly include yours!!) will have to live up to the time we spent with you. From the personal care to the wonderful room to the fantastic breakfasts to the small touches, it was truly a relaxing and pampered getaway. We felt so welcome, so much like members of your family.
Thank you so much for everything you did for us, including the beautiful flowers and chocolates and champagne. We wish you both the best of luck in your endeavor, although I know that since your hearts are in it, you will prosper. Have a wonderful winter season, and we hope to see you again soon.
Your very happy customers,
Bob and Sarah -- Syracuse, NY
Taking the time to sincerely thank you for a most wonderful, relaxing and comfortable time at the Chester House!!! I hope you begin a memory wall or something and hang up all the thank-you notes you must get from satisfied guests. You can't pay for this type of advertising.
Thank you for the atmosphere, the courtesy, the hospitality you guys provide. We have already spread the word about the Chester House. Best of Luck!
Lori & Diane -- Haverhill, MA
Just wanted to let you know that Rick and I had a great time staying at your Inn. We look forward to coming back soon!
