Brass Lantern Inn

About The Hotel

From $191/night — a top-rated B&B with a near-perfect record. This is a small, owner-run property (Don on-site) in a restored historic building with just enough rooms to feel personal. The 4.9 rating across 1,200 reviews speaks to genuine hospitality: made-to-order breakfasts, nightly snacks, a hot tub, and common areas that guests linger in. Rooms are spotless, art fills the walls, and service is a perfect 5.0. Best for couples seeking authentic Vermont warmth and an easy walk to Main Street shops—you’re close enough to stroll for dinner but far enough to avoid the bustle. Premium B&B pricing in foliage and ski seasons.

What Guests Are Saying

“The cutest B&B in Stowe, VT! Don (the owner) met us when we arrived and spent time showing us all of the features of the property and showing us to our room. The cosiest common area of any place we’ve stayed! Soft couches, warm coffee and peaceful surroundings. You couldn’t ask for a more relaxing environment. Each morning there was a delicious breakfast made and each night the surprise “snack” was always tasty! It was really nice to be so close to downtown Stowe without having to deal with the crowded streets and noisy traffic. We will definitely return!” — Matthew F., 5 stars

“The Brass Lantern was great - a perfect, cozy Vermont Inn experience. The owners live on site and were available to help when I needed anything - ice for my bad knee or a phone charger that fit my car rental. The breakfasts were delicious and coffee was available all the day whenever I wanted it. They even put out a nighttime snack each evening. There’s a neat game room and nice commom spaces where I could relax. The inn shows off an interesting and eclectic art collection. My room was comfy and clean. I always travel with ear plugs, but I didn’t need any because it was quiet. The inn is close enough to the main street of Stowe (you could drive or walk), but far enough away to get away from the bustle of that little main street in town. I’d definitely stay there again if given an opportunity.” — Stephanie L., 5 stars

“Me & my husband had a great time in Stowe and staying at the Brass Lantern Inn. Don was an excellent host! His daily breakfasts were so delicious and filling! We often skipped lunch because we were so full, haha! The room was comfortable with plenty of space for our luggage. The whole Inn is decorated with beautiful art and lovely decor. Don was very responsive to our needs. We asked him to replace the sound machine in our room and he promptly delivered. He also recommended restaurants for us to try. We enjoyed the snacks he left us each evening. They were so yummy! We enjoyed looking at the chickens, ducks and birds while enjoying our breakfast. I would highly recommend Brass Lantern Inn if you come to Stowe, VT!” — CNK, 5 stars

The Location

On Maple Street just north of Stowe village, a short walk or quick drive to Main Street’s shops and restaurants. Stowe Mountain Resort is about 8 miles up the Mountain Road. Close enough to the village for a pleasant stroll, but set back enough to enjoy quiet. You can find more details or book your stay on TripAdvisor.
