Rose Arbour Tea Room, Gifts, and Gallery — Restaurant in Chester

We stayed 3 nights in early October at the Rose Arbour Inn in Chester, VT. It is a moderately priced Inn in a charming old Victorian style 19th century house with a wrap around porch. After reading some of the reviews I have come to the conclusion its all about expectations. The house is old and has old house issues but is quaint and charming and the experience unique. The breakfasts were delicious, Suzy, the host was warm, hospitable and fun as we engaged her and another guest in evening card games. The bed in the Rose Room was the most comfortable we had in our 12 days in Vermont. Her beautiful dogs, if you chose to meet them, were delightful and well behaved. So if you expect 5 star physical amenities this is not the place for you…go get a hotel and pay 3x as much. If you want a unique experience with warm hospitality and human interaction try the Rose Arbour. We would not hesitate...

wow...what a great experience at this super cozy and warm hotel. I'd describe it more airbnb experience than a hotel. Victorian style house has 2 rooms and is beautifully decorated.

Small gift shop on the first floor offers a variety of souvenirs, paintings and some snacks. The bathroom and living room are shared. Home made breakfast to include pancakes with hot maple syrup, fruits and coffee were delicious. Owner was very accommodating and easy to talk to. There are also 4 huskies in the house that were super friendly and did not bother us one bit. Overall great experience and will definitely stay there on...

She made us feel right at home. The house is so beautiful, cozy and clean. Breakfast was delicious but the conversation was even better. If we return to VT (which we definitely will) this is where we...
