Charming inn! Room was very cozy and the bed so comfortable. Easy check in/out. We were sorry to find out the restaurant was not open upon our dinner-time arrival-we had not seen any indication of this on our booking. Otherwise, highly recommend!

Cozy Inn close to Jay Peak

Cozy place. Not far from Jay Peak. We had a light continental breakfast provided by the Inn in the morning and then went skiing at Jay. Had a good experience and would stay there again

Charming historic inn

This was our second stay at this historic, lovely & comfortable inn. Our room #2 had a king size bed & a separate sitting area which could have accommodated another adult or small kids on a foldout cot in the closet. Furnished with a mix of contemporary & vintage furniture. Very clean. Showers have great water pressure. The mini breakfast in the inn’s bar/restaurant includes delicious homemade muffins. The restaurant is open for dinner—only on Thursdays & Fridays at present. The area is semi rural but located near Montgomery Center, St Alban’s & Enosburg where there are restaurants & other amenities like the Eloquent Page Bookstore, worth a visit for the book lover. Six wooden covered bridges to explore in the area; at one of them we even met a 5th generation descendant of the original bridge builders, the Jewett brothers. The Black Lantern Inn is a wonderful place to enjoy a relaxing getaway. Definitely recommend 👍

A little quaint……

Very quaint place. Check in was super easy as our room key was just sitting on a table when we walked in the door, with our room number on it (makes me wonder if there was another key already taken by a random person). The staircase was steep, narrow and STRAIGHT UP!! Wasn’t expecting that!! Glad we are not handicapped, as this was mentioned nowhere! Room was clean and comfortable, even had our own fireplace. However, the bathroom was TINY, then a light burned out so doing hair and makeup was a bit challenging also not enough towels, but nobody around to bring me any?!?! Restaurant downstairs was convenient but very mediocre at best. Our stay could’ve been worse, definitely wasn’t the best, but not many choices in this remote area

The Black Lantern Inn goes back to 1802 and is in the heart of Montgomery, a small rural town in far northern VT. The room was spacious, clean with a comfortable bed. Nothing fancy - mostly vintage furniture. Checkin is curious in that there is no desk person as such but your key with a paper with your name and room number on it is on a bench in the vestibule as you come in. You can contact the owners by text or phone as needed. The bathroom en suite with a good shower. The dining area is attractive and, while I didn't eat a full meal there, friends of mine who have had dinners there say the food is very good. They do provide a modest continental breakfast. There is a lot of beautiful scenery in the area and the Inn is not too far from the Jay Peak ski resort. Quebec and its beautiful towns is only a short drive further north. I enjoyed my two nights at the Inn and would not hesitate to return.
