Mt. Philo Inn

My husband and I rented out the entirety of Mt Philo Inn for our wedding this past weekend, and it was the perfect place for our intimate, low-​key wedding. Dave is a thoughtful and kind owner, and we communicated about what our vision was for the wedding, and whether he thought the Inn would be a good place for us to be. He provided us with excellent local recommendations for catering and restaurants to try. The inn itself is beautiful and so thoughtfully renovated — it really shows in the details and quality of appliances, furniture, etc.
We got married at Mt Philo State Park and had our reception outside on the lawn, and in the Ballroom once it started raining. Our wedding weekend was all about celebrating our love by spending time with the people we care about most, and it was amazing to get to have all of those people staying under the same roof. Dave was great at communicating with us when he had concerns about noise levels, which I appreciated and greatly respected.
By the end of the weekend, Dave felt far from being a stranger, as he hugged us and congratulated us on our marriage. Needless to say, we will return to Mt Philo Inn when we are looking for a beautiful place to celebrate our anniversary!

I discovered the Mt Philo Inn after searching the internet for hours for a place to stay for our large family coming from Florida for my daughters graduation from Middlebury College. Going on «blind faith» you never know what you get-​but it was just awesome. We took over the West Wing and the Right Wing. All the fixings for our planned family breakfast for 12 was in the well stocked frig, great gas stove and oven and any utensil we needed. As we sat around the living room at night with all the cousins from California, Ohio and Florida– we could not have been more comfortable!
Dave and Jane are great — -attentive but not intrusive. Anything you want or ask for was answered with «sure, no problem» –Early check-​in — -come on over, late checkout question was answered with «how late», can we???, sure, no problem. And then to top it all off– they come to you for checkout so we didn’t have to leave the celebration with family…
Going anywhere near Burlington, Charlotte, Vergennes, or Middlebury Vermont — you can’t do any better!!!

Our family stayed three nights at the Mt. Philo Inn. The innkeeper was really friendly and very helpful in answering questions. Our unit had three bedrooms, two baths, an eat-​in kitchen, and a family room. This was a perfect place to stay with two little kids. We had so much space! Everything was updated and the kitchen appeared to have new appliances. We were close to a lot of amenities and less than 30 minutes from Burlington. There was great sledding within walking distance from the Inn. Overall, we had an amazing experience and could not have asked for anything more. We are definitely going to stay at this place again. We would highly recommend it!

We just finished our seventh stay at the Mt. Philo Inn. accompanied by our dog Buck. Our daughter attended the Univ. of Vermont and we discovered this wonderful Inn two years ago. It is about 15 minutes from Burlington and the perfect spot to have our daughter relax, yet be close enough to get to class while she is staying with us.
It is located next to Mt. Philo, with a path out back leading right up to the mountain. Our mornings are spent walking our dog Buck to the top of the mountain and enjoying the beautiful views.
We love the coziness and spaciousness of the suites at the inn. The suite we usually stay in has three large bedrooms, a living room, two bathrooms, and a very large kitchen. Over the course of staying here we have celebrated our daughters graduation from the University of Vermont with a wonderful brunch in the spacious kitchen.
Dave, the innkeeper provides a wonderful goody basket, filled with Vermont maple
syrup, pancake mix, eggs bacon and everything we needed for a celebratory
brunch with family and friends!
As our daughter has decided to make Burlington her home, two weeks ago we celebrated Thanksgiving here with a wonderful turkey dinner we made in the well equipped kitchen.
We know we will continue staying here as the Mt. Philo Inn has turned out to be our «home away from home.»
It is not always easy to find such a dog-​friendly Inn with such a warm and welcoming innkeeper.
We highly recommend the Mt. Philo Inn!!!
