254 South Union Street Guest House

In this beautiful Victorian guest house, our Double Room had Queen bed, comfy sitting room to watch tv and a desk, and large well-appointed bathroom (shower). Everything was nice quality. On the landing was coffee and complimentary snacks like yogurt, granola, OJ etc. Heads up: stairs up to front door & more stairs up to our second floor suite. Luckily the owner Bill helped with my suitcase - then we had privacy and didn’t see him again. Good location a few blocks from Church St.

Parking was easy and convenient, bed was comfy, host was super friendly and helpful, loved the dogs!

We did not enjoy our stay at this guest house and ultimately left one night early. Our “superior lakeview suite” did not have any view of a lake, but the neighbors house and the street view. I’m unsure how they have been able to get away with calling this bedroom a “lakeview” and i’m even more confused by other reviews saying how beautiful the view was. There was literally not a lake to be viewed but the room is in fact in the direction of Lake Champlain. The court yard was rather eclectic and very pretty at night with the string lights and lush scenery but during the day the backyard had dog toys and children toys around the property which was an eyesore to my partner and i. One of our biggest issues with the property was that the owners seem to have a dog, which in their hotel description on Expedia says it is a pet free establishment. Unfortunately I am allergic and this was an issue for me. The vermont health department says if there is an animal present on property the owners have to alert their guests in bold print. Finally, they do not serve breakfast but a dry buffet of granola, a fridge stocked with yogurt and cheese and a Keurig - no hot coffee. This Inn was more like an Airbnb with a private room to sleep. I personally did not think this was an appropriate listing for Expedia and for the $705 price tag I left very unhappy. Expedia tried to get me a refund but the Owner Cyndie refused and did not agree with my feedback.

We had a wonderful stay. Bill was very accommodating even when our flight was delayed and we showed up close to midnight. He gave us several recommendations for exploring, which was very appreciated. The room was lovely and even had snacks and a water machine for us to enjoy. I would highly recommend staying here.

Incredible stay! Beautiful property and gracious hosts.
