Three Mountain Inn — Hotel in Jamaica

Our first trip to the New England area and we could not be more impressed with Vermont and the little inn we stayed at for the week. Staying at Jamaica, Vermont ended up being a great hub for all of our adventures! We flew into the Boston Logan airport and were leaving from there, so it was important to find an Inn in Vermont that was less than a 3 hour drive from the airport so we wouldn't have a long drive after a long flight. We had researched all the things we wanted to do and were able to take daily drives from the Inn to get to our whole list. This included the Ben and Jerry Ice Cream factory tour, hiking the Green Mountains, Driving Route 100 to leaf peep, a day trip to Manchester to see the Lincoln family home and enjoy a nice dinner, a visit to Lake Champlain to rent bikes and ride around it, a trip to The Vermont Country Store and of course, the hunt for the best Maple Ice Cream and Apple Cider Donuts. We did all this and more! The Inn keepers, Ed and Jen were very friendly and helped us every morning plan the best routes for our daily adventures, adding important stops and sites to check out along the way. The home-cooked daily breakfast were all delicious! Now I am searching for a place back home that makes fresh Almond muffins. The Inn is so freakin charming! I loved the quaint old world atmosphere it affords its guests, while still providing some of the modernities I cannot do without- piping hot water, good plumbing and comfortable beds. We loved that there is a little bar and we were able to chat up Ed (the Inn Keeper) at the end of the night with a little night cap drink. Pick his brain- he knows so much about the local history! We would save up our questions and ask him while we enjoyed a drink at the bar. This allowed us to fully immerse ourselves in the experience, set our phones down for a moment (What?!) and learn about things the "old school way" before Google search bar existed. The Inn was homey in the best of ways (delicious home cooked breakfast served piping hot when we walked downstairs) and still felt like a relaxing vacation (room cleaned daily and no dishes to clean at the end of meals). I highly recommend the Inn! Can't wait to go back when...

We stayed at Three Mountain Inn while family camped in tents at the nearby state park. It was just what we hoped for: a cool, comfortable retreat after hot, busy, chaotic days of playing with kids and grandkids! ||||In spite of travel and covid19-related restrictions, we felt welcomed and pampered. Our host has made creative accommodations for safety of both guests and staff: links to VT travel information; contactless check-in and check-out; the Inn’s well-known dining room was closed, of course, but a breakfast tray was delivered to our door with warm fresh-baked pastries, boiled eggs, juice, fruit, yogurts (even maple bacon one morning!); in-room Keurig coffee machine; no daily housekeeping during covid19 but fresh towels or other items if requested. ||||We chose a room with a deck tucked in under a crabapple tree with a view to gardens and mountains, but each room has its own appeal. Small details, both antique and modern, added to the charm, like the wooden step stool to climb in and out of the high four-poster bed and USB ports in the bedside lamps. ||||The family loves to camp and fish and hike and make s’mores in the campfire and had often told us to come along and stay at Three Mountain Inn: we love to know there’s generous hospitality and a good bed waiting for us at the end of the day! Why did we wait so long? We’ll be back, for sure.||||Re questions below: the "not sure" answers have to do with our not needing to ask about them. I don't know about temperature checks. Though we met our host and had great conversations at a safely masked distance, our stay was effectively contactless. Telephone and radio (alarm clock) were removed as a precaution along with other items (the famous teddy bears!): we didn't need wake up service so didn't inquire. We have no dietary restrictions so no need to ask, but I have no doubt they would work to accommodate guests with special requests in advance.||||In summary: Ed is friendly, well-informed, generous innkeeper, and the Inn itself has all the vital character you would expect from an antique...

We just returned to Vermont for fall foliage after an eight year absence. We used to go every year. And each time, we stayed at this wonderful inn in this quiet corner of Vermont. Ed and Jen always welcomed us with their unmatched warmth. Well, after eight years (culminated by a global pandemic necessitating changes for them at the inn), we returned with eager enthusiasm. While a somewhat different experience (gone is the wonderful restaurant they used to run - replaced by the really fun Dirty Duck Tavern, featuring Ed's amazing sandwiches), our enjoyment of the place continues and is enhanced by the sparkling personalities of Jen and Ed.||||There is no doubt that we will keep coming back to this place. And you should, too. The comfort of the rooms is unmatched in the area: supple and luxurious linens and toiletries, a room refrigerator (stocked with water), comfy robes, a fireplace, and a tv (that we never used, since we don't like watching tv while on vacation).||||In the mornings, Ed serves up some delicious food (you must have his special bacon).||||But the best thing about this place is the genuineness and authenticity of the innkeepers. What a delightful welcome we had upon our arrival. But of course, they both remembered us, for that is their nature and their quality as hosts. And we had some very real conversations with them (far more delightful and rewarding than the usual fluff you get from most innkeepers). Of course, they have an incredible knowledge of the area and will make suggestions for activities that are spot on for the traveler.||||We, definitely, will return to this place! And it won't take us another...
