Agreed with all comments about the exceptional home made style breakfast. However, the second night there was a group playing guitar and singing. With over 200 years house, this was not welcomed especially after a tiring long ski day. Phoned hotel and also Expedia on that same night but both myself and Expedia could not get hold off host for resolution. Got to know next Morning that the voicemail probably was played and heard but did not take action. These days with many craziness in the news, we as guest cannot confront with another group on our own to take risk especially with kids.

We felt at home the minute we walked through the door thanks to Michael and the coziness of the Inn. There was a fire in the fireplace and cookies on the table. Our accommodations were lovely and breakfast the next day, made by Kevin with many local ingredients, was delicious! Already thinking about excuses to come back!

The house looks like it’s been yelled from a postcard. Sat against the mountains. So glad I picked this place to stay on my trip through Vermont. Authentic Vermont hospitality. It’s a home away from home and you’re looked after like family. The bedrooms and bathrooms are spotlessly neat. Would be back in a heartbeat.

What a wonderful surprise. We hoped to get a nice B&B for three nights. In stead we had 3 nights of comfort and amazing breakfasts with warm Vermont charm. We are looking forward to our next trip back, hopefully next summer!

A Delightful Stay
The Ira Allen House offers comfortable accommodations that are more “homey” than any hotel. From the 200-year-old charm of the house to the wonderful innkeepers, Michael and Kevin, every aspect of our stay was exceptional. The rooms were very clean. Breakfast featured ingredients from local farms whenever possible. We will certainly be back, and we highly recommend the Ira Allen House to all who may be seeking a place to stay while traveling to the Manchester, Vermont Area.

Magnificent little gem
Magnificent little gem just south of Manchester Vt. Everything from the warm, friendly greeting and cookies to an exquisite breakfast made this a wonderful stop on our trip. The owners have taken great care with every detail to welcome guests to their beautiful space. It is located near so many wonderful things to do whether shopping or an outdoor experience.

Reliving old memories while creating new ones
A marvelous place that immersed us in early US history and drew up happy childhood memories of my grandparents' home. Mike and Kevin were the epitome of hospitality; their love of the inn was reflected in everything they did to make our stay an outstanding experience.

One of the best B&Bs we've stayed at. The host/inkeeper was attentive, super friendly and wonderful. We loved the history of the house and breakfast was phenomenal everyday! No joke! We plan to stay here again if we get a chance to go back to Manchester, VT. Thank you for making us feel like home.

Charming B&B with Wonderful Hosts
We've vacationed in the Manchester area for years but the Ira Allen House provided the most memorable and welcoming stay. Michael and Kevin provided delicious breakfast every morning; pancakes, waffles, yogurt with homemade strawberry rhubarb compote, each bite contending for top billing. The house is quaint and cozy, decorated wonderfully as a New England antique style home. Our room was comfortable and allowed for our children to share an adjoining room with a bathroom, while our room afforded us the option to have a living room area for board games, watching TV, etc. As an added bonus, the grounds had games (croquet, horseshoes, bocce) which allowed for our children to run off some energy while my wife and I relaxed and watched from the Adirondack chairs that overlooked the pond. It was a great long weekend and we will absolutely stay again on our next trip to Vermont!

Charming historic inn.
This is a wonderful, historic B&B that met our needs perfectly. Our room was small, but quite comfortable. The proprietors are friendly and attentive. They prepared delicious full breakfasts each day, using primarily locally sourced foods. Fresh baked cookies greeted us upon our arrival in the cozy living area on the first floor. The large park-like area across the street, extending to the Battenkill River and containg Adirondack chairs, a gazebo, and a fire pit, is also part of the property.

An amazing B&B. The house is a piece of American history. The Battenkill is across the street. Everything was comfortable and relaxed. The breakfast was fantastic. But it was Mike's hospitality that shined. We have been to a lot of B&B in this country and Ireland; the Ira Allen House rates right up with the best.

I stayed overnight because I was in town for work. Even though it was raining, the Wi-Fi worked great and I was able to work form form room. The room was very comfortable and clean. There was a coffee and tea station in hallway outside my room. Breakfast was served in a very quaint room with exposed beams and a cast iron stove. Food was delicious and locally sourced. Staff was friendly, very accommodating, and helpful. I will definitely stay there again!

Best experience we’ve ever had at a hotel. Mike is exceptional on all fronts! His breakfasts is OUT OF THIS WORLD! We still talk about it. The room were incredible and his property is to die for!! I would recommend this to everyone!! We had children and a baby, and he had colouring books, toys, highchair and was so incredibly child friendly and welcoming!! 10 out of 10.

This was the best experience I’ve ever had at any Hotel. It was our first bed and breakfast and it was spectacular! So clean, quaint, friendly, kid friendly, beautiful and historical. 1779!! Mike the owner is beyond exceptional and goes above and beyond for everything. He’s an exceptional host and chef. It feels like you have been transported back in time. I could not recomend this place more. I would give it 10/5 if I could!!
