The childhood home of patriots Ira and Ethan Allen enfolds guests in our country's founding rebels' acts of courage against seemingly insurmountable powers. A good place to be reminded of our obligation to fight and resist the elites' insanity.

The Ira Allen House is an authetic traditional vintage house. It is clean & the rooms are comfortable. The owner, Mike is a great host & the breakfast is very good. If your looking for a high end hotel with all the bells & whistles, this is not your place. If you want a historic home rich in history and authentic Vermont, then you will enjoy your stay. We enjoyed our experience!

A delightful treasure. What a special place. Everything from the food to the interior design was fantastic. We came upon this Inn at the last minute and called it our happiest accident. Highly recommended.

Beautiful old home with lots of historic charm. Plenty of spots to sit, relax and read in front of the gas fireplace or stove. Great breakfasts, all day coffee and tea bar and homemade cookies. Our room was big and comfortable, lots of natural light, well appointed with a gas stove, couch and sitting area. The only drawbacks were the shower was a little small and if you have trouble with stairs, this Inn would be challenging. Also Kevin was very helpful in making dinner plans and suggestions for local sites.
