We had a delightful if short stay at the Lilac Inn in Brandon, VT. The innkeeper, Doug, was very helpful and informative and gave us some great suggestions for both dinner in town and a scenic route for our drive to St. Johnsbury the next day. There were a couple of choices at breakfast which was great, especially for my... More

What a gorgeous lovely Bed & Breakfast Inn. We have stayed in many B&B's and by far this has been the loveliest ever. Shelly & Doug could not have made our stay any better. They are the warmest, lovely Innkeep's we have gotten to know. Thanks Doug & Shelly for all the directions and for the great conversation. Brady &... More

My husband and I stayed at the Lilac Inn, and we had a great experience! We stayed in the Grand Suite which was just as elegant and cozy as the pictures looked online. The atmosphere was incredibly relaxing, and the breakfast served in the dining room delicious. Doug and Shelly were very welcoming, which made our stay that much better.... More

My husband and I knew we wanted to get married in Vermont and began our search on the internet. We found the website for The Lilac Inn on Google and decided it was worth checking out. We were certainly not disappointed! Our stay could not have been better (both times) and the service, quality, and overall experience was phenomena! The... More

This was a most unfortunate situation and we are deeply troubled by the inconvenience we caused Ken and his wife. We were attending the wedding of our niece in South Carolina, which had a change in the wedding date. For some reason our reservation system did not show Ken's reservation, or we would certainly have contacted him. After his phone... More

We have stayed at the lilac Inn a number of times; both when we lived in Vt. and since we have moved to Florida almost five years ago. The Innkeepers/owners Doug and Shelley are a lovely couple who invite you into their "home" not only as guests but as old friends coming to visit. The comfortable and nicely appointed rooms,... More
