Relaxing at the Inn

We enjoyed our one night at the Inn. We relaxed on the front porch in the morning, enjoying the flowers and landscaping. Behind the Inn is a large garden/park area that we did not have time to explore but it looked very nice as we walked though it from the Inn to the parking area. The breakfast area was bright and comfortable. The breakfast options were just right for us. Our room on the second floor was spacious and well-decorated. We would have preferred a walk-in shower instead of the tub/shower combination due to the height of the tub. The neighborhood was pleasant, just a short distance to the center of Brandon.

One of Brandon, VT's gems

Spacious room, comfortable bed, delicious breakfast, comfortable atmosphere. Very home like and nostalgic charm, decor throughout brought back to the turn of the 20th century with modern needs met. Setting is appropriate for intimate gatherings such as weddings or a quiet place for couples to relax.

Stay at the Lilac Inn.

We enjoyed our stay at the Lilac Inn very much. Everyone was friendly and helpful. Our king bed was extremely comfortable. The included breakfast was delicious with great muffins. We especially liked the house Bassett Hound named Ladybird!! Would recommend.
