Four Columns Inn

The Four Columns Inn owes me $752 that it promised to pay but hasn't. I cancelled the reservation for two rooms because their on site restaurant (where we had made a reservation) had closed and the reason for staying at the inn was to have a nice celebration dinner at the restaurant on 10/5/23 after a 4 day leaf-peek hike in Vermont. A month before I googled and saw that the restaurant had closed I was contacted fairly quickly by the Inn and told that the place is under new management and that we would receive the refund, but that the previous owner had not transferred the deposit to the new owner and I should be patient. Now they don't return my calls.

The hotel is clearly past its glory days. There is no-one on-site and it felt like a ghost town. We were sent for breakfast 15 miles away. The restaurant and bar are closed. The rooms should properly cost ~$120-140/night.

My wife and I went here for our honeymoon and decided to return to celebrate our 50th anniversary. The place has been remodeled and changed owners several times, but its charm remains. We stayed in the Sugar Maple room, which is the largest room and faces the front, with a spectacular view of the town green. The staff were great and appreciated our stories of the "old days." They serve a nice continental breakfast but don't currently have their own restaurant. That's unfortunate because in the past their restaurant was world class, but there are some good restaurants in nearby Brattleboro. Highly recommended for a getaway to a classic VT town, especially in leaf peeping season.

We enjoyed everything about this quintessential Vermont inn, from the lush property with ponds and walking gardens to the comfort of our room and the morning breakfast with local yogurts and fresh fruit. The restaurant recently closed as the inn transitions to a new chef and management team. The couple that is over-seeing the change certainly has the energy and the vision to make this a most memorable stay. There's an outdoor patio; a fire pit and a warm, welcoming entrance room for coffee and conversation. Internet was just fine for my computer work. Local area had some nice restaurants. This is a little gem of an inn and it all starts with the couple that is managing the property. I highly recommend The Four Columns Inn.

Rooms are comfortable and the lady running the show in the day is helpful, accommodating and goes out of her way to ensure you have what you need for a lovely stay. Continental breakfast was as it says on the tin; but products were delicious. The restaurant is no more, which is a shame as I can only imagine what this used to be like when it was open! My only fault is there isn’t a fridge available in the back part of the hotel (in rooms or communal area) so no milk for tea/ coffee etc. The location is wonderful, and the local general store coffee/ baked goods are delish! Outside there is a fire pit with chairs and a pool/ gym. We didn’t use these but they looked great. I would come back and recommend as a lovely B&B with “more than you’d expect” amenities.
