Beautiful views and well maintained

We had a very relaxing stay. The room was spacious and very clean. The view of the mountains from our room was spectacular. The pool was clean and well maintained as was the rest of the property. Our bed was very comfortable and we had soft large pillows to help us fall asleep fast. A beautiful place to stay. We will be back.

The contactless checkin and checkout was incredibly convenient, and the room itself was gorgeous, with cozy linens and spacious bathroom. While we were at one of the buildings apart from the main house, the staff was always available for questions and concerns. Would definitely stay again, maybe in the warm weather months to take advantage of the grounds.

Large property with great landscape and open space. There were 2 trash bins right in the front of our unit which should have been kept in a different area. Also the sculptures and artwork on the property grounds were creepy.

The definition of eclectic. The estate is vast and the views are amazing. The property has multiple buildings; some with very interesting histories. There are scattered “statue gardens”; I lived the Greek mythology origin story. The mansion has wonderful architecture and ambiance; every suite is different, each with a unique story. Melissa offered us a room upgrade; how wonderful!

Great for groups and views

Great find with beautiful grounds and comfortable lodging. The place was clean and property owner and manager were quick to communicate despite a wedding during our stay. And it seemed like a great choice for a wedding from what we saw!

No one greeted us, never heard from anyone on property. A wedding was going to be happening so we weren't important. And brochure said breakfast at the main inn and that was not happening. No food on the property.

Family ski trip

My wife and I and two adults daughters (24 and 27) and one dog had a wonderful weekend to ski at Bromly mtn. Our cottage/room at the Wilburton was perfect. Two large, comfortable queen beds, a mini-kitchen with fridge, stove, dishes and sink (a little small) allowed us to pack our lunch and get take-out from Thai Basil (excellent). The Inn even found us a dog sitter for Saturday while we skied. Remote check-in so we never met anyone in person but it worked out perfectly.

Unique place, art on the grounds. Close to shopping and hiking. We had a nice room with a beautiful view of the mountains, and enjoyed a nice sunset from our deck.
The grounds themselves seem neglected, I’m not sure if this is due to Covid, but it could certainly use some TLC. We never saw any employees on the grounds, and were sent no instructions on how to check in. I called them and was given instructions on what to do. I suppose due to Covid they are doing contactless check in. If you are looking for a quiet, peaceful, place to stay for a night this place fits the bill. The coffee machine was so so. I quest traveling during Covid means you can’t expect the same hospitality.

This is a beautiful old mansion... exactly what we were looking for for a short get away. Our room had a wonderful view, and the staff were very welcoming. The breakfast was fantastic. My only complaint is that the website indicated that it was a short drive to Stratton ski area, when in fact it was about a 25 minute drive.

Friendly service. Comfortable room. Atmosphere around grounds somewhat odd: philosophy of owners obtrusive, with statement of their beliefs hanging from tree outside our door, brochures, display under glass in table in main living room, shrines and didactic statues scattered around grounds etc. in our room, no glasses or cups or utensils. Nice little kitchen but no way to use it. Just little plastic cups for coffee machine—maybe appropriate to roadside motel but not to nice inn. When asked they brought some cups and bowls in very nice wsy, but room could have been better equipped to start with. Breakfast very nice but 8;30 a bit late to start service. Very nice place overall, wonderful views, but not to everyone’s taste.

The staff was beyond friendly- we will come back simply because of the experience here. What a wonderful family owned place. The hospitality was unparalleled to the point where we commented on how we loved the fresh baked bread they served at breakfast and they sent us home with a loaf of it! Just a beautiful place with a beautiful vibe. We will be staying there again!

2 star hotel. Not the quaint bed and breakfast as advertised. Badly in need of renovation. Cracked ceiling. Stained drapes. Dead bugs. Antiquated bathroom. No Wifi. And also a barking dog outside as I went to sleep. Completely misrepresented. Hotels.com should stop selling this one as its description is borderline fraudulent. Feels like a haunted mansion. I was charged a 4 star rate. Ripoff. Go somewhere else.

The property is amazing- very scenic.
The facility needs something though. ...I get that it’s quaint and old but very eclectic art around the home and grounds made it feel a bit of an oddity for me and the inside needs some updating. Carpets are old and dead flys seen about the breakfast dining area. Expedia also made it sound like the placed served dinner—not the case. The staff were amazing but no staff is on duty at front desk for late arrivals or over night, so after 6pm you are on your own. I found that odd. Was only guests in main house and they never told us —that felt weird. The room was ok...we basically had no view from our bedroom window which was disappointing as the surrounding area is amazingly beautiful. A building ledge was outside our window blocking any view of grounds. The room had lots of extension cords which made me feel, given the age of the home, it was a bit of a fire hazard and what if something had happened? No staff at front desk to assist. A/c were individual to rooms and were window units.
Rooms did have smoke detectors though.
Bathroom faucet dripped all day and night and shower drained out long after it was turned off for a few seconds.....to hear water we thought a pipe had burst.
Doesn’t seem like much money is going back into improvements/updating the house. I read in a review that there were tennis courts there....no one said a word. Never saw them.

One of a kind place in a wonderful town and relatively less expensive than some of the others nearby. Multiple unique rooms with views of of the Green Mountains and interesting property features including an outdoor art collection. Some minor condition issues--could use some updates. Fine buffet style breakfast was included. Family business---in a good way.

The main Inn is welcoming, charming and has lots of space to meander. Plenty of books to read and art all around. The grounds are beautiful and the view spectacular! Nice for Weddings. The property has a very eclectic vibe if you like that sort of thing. It's not the Hyatt or the Equinox. The Breakfasts are awesome and the home baked breads delish! The coffee was excellent and fresh. The staff really tries their best to be friendly and attentive. We stayed in one of the Strawberry Hill Villas in the ground level. Upon arrival, we noticed that an abundance of leaves had gathered in front of our door, so we had to kick them away before entering. This set an abandoned tone for us. The room itself was clean but smelled very musty and damp like a basement, this was disappointing since we were spending at least 300.00 and change per night. The furnishings felt dated but the bathroom shower looked renovated. We thought of going elsewhere but were afraid we would lose all of the money we spent because the Wilburton deducted the amount due immediately upon our arrival.
I believe that the Wilburton could be a wonderful place during the Summer months. Overall the place looks like it is in need of a financial innoculatio. I would give it 3 stars

Beautiful room and views, wonderful staff

What a beautiful hotel! It was immaculately clean, very bright, provided breathtaking mountain views, and it was very close to all of the fun that Manchester provides, including the Lincoln home. In addition, Jetson the dog happily greets you upon arrival! The staff was SO nice, professional, conversational and helpful. I would highly recommend this hotel. What a great experience!

We loved our stay at the Wilburton Inn. The staff were extremely friendly and a shout out to the lady server in the breakfast area who was most cheerful and helpful with breakfast.

The Inn is like living in a grand castle, and the family provides facilities and furnishings that are extremely comfortable. Breakfast was delicious in a warm and inviting setting.

Beautiful location with gorgeous views of the surrounding mountains. Hotel building is quite dated and while very stately and elegant , could use some maintenance- paint, evidence of water leakage, etc. Staff is “ok”. Check in was very slow as the one person on staff was on an extended call with a wedding customer , and didn’t bother to acknowledge that at all which was odd. For this place Keurig coffee and Swiss Miss packets could be upgraded.

A Woodstock experience in Vermont

While many people find Manchester, Vermont for its closeness to ski slopes and possibly the clothing outlets, we experienced an uniquely inspiring stay at a vintage, impeccably maintained estate filled with wonders created by its owners and on display throughout the grounds for the public's enjoyment. The Levi family experience is worth a trip to Vermont in any season. They join guests at breakfast each morning in room that overlooks a gorgeous countryside and reminded us of mornings in southern France.

You can enjoy Vermont in many ways, but without staying at the Wilburton Inn, you have missed a rich, near perfect experience in tranquility, hospitality and artisanship akin to Norm Rockwell's view of the world through the lives of Vermont residents. For added enjoyment, we were greeted by Jetson, a friendly cocker spaniel who welcomes guests and waits for those who choose to bring their pets with them to enjoy the wonders of this tree lined, mountainside estate.

Expansive, comfortable resort.

The Wilburton Inn is a comfortable, family-friendly resort. However, some of the lawn sculpture, and there's a lot of it, might be disturbing to some. The female statue outside our door was rather creepy at night. While the main house is stately, the furnishings are somewhere between 'comfortable' and 'shabby chic.'
