My boyfriend and I stayed at The Pond House for two nights over the weekend. Gretel, the owner, emailed me with specific directions prior to our trip because GPS doesn't work well in the area. We were the only guests in the house for the weekend, which was nice. We stayed in the "Green Room" which was large and comfortable.... More

We stayed in the winter a few years ago with our 3 dogs. Kudos to Gretel for taking in our three newfies. The stay was ok, rooms just ok, food ok. One thing to keep in mind is that Gretel is a teacher, so if you're there midweek, it's more of a fend for yourself than a B&B. Also, as... More

The Pond House will be a great place to stay or a disaster depending upon what you want out of an Inn. For a start, it really isn't called the Pond House, but it does have a pond! If you want a room in a small country farmhouse in a beautiful location with a real character as a hostess who... More

We have just returned from our semi-annual trip to Vermont and the Pond House Inn. We have been staying with Gretel on and off for the last 15 years and always enjoy the old and the new. When we read some of the reviews on the Trip Advisor site we were taken aback. This isn’t the bed and breakfast that... More

We stayed in the Yellow Room, which was quite small, cold and not very clean -- there were many cobwebs in the corners. The bathroom was large but very utilitarian and old, definitely not pretty in any way. There are no TVs in the rooms or common room. If you bring a computer, you can borrow a DVD from Gretel... More

I was very disappointed to see this review . I get the sense that she isn't aware of our Vermont culture and is looking for a contemporary city hotel or large commercial Inn. We do a very good job of providing a relaxing, cozy atmosphere-like "grandmas house". If she had read our review from the Boston Globe, which is posted... More

We stayed at the Pond House for 2 nights. It is a small inn, however, our room was quite large. It was clean and well stocked. For the amount of money that we paid, however there was a 'just enough 'approach to most things. The heat was turned on in the evening and turned off at night, making it very... More

We have just returned from a trip to the NE. Unfortunately, the weather was grey and rainy but, in spite of that, we especially enjoyed our stay at The Pond House Inn in Brownsville, Vermont. The inn is small with three guest rooms. Our room was large and beautifully appointed with an oversized marble shower, thick fluffy towels, feather beds... More

We recently stayed at the PH Inn in February, and had a pretty good experience. Keep in mind that this was in the middle of winter, and a number of comments will not apply to other seasons. However, for our stay, there were some great things, as well as some serious problems that limited our enjoyment of the long weekend.... More

We were touring New England and stayed here for a few days. We were really comfortable here, breakfasts were good and the dinner we had was excellent, as was the wine! Gretel was very helpful and gave us good advice re eating out and places to visit. The situation was peaceful, set in beautfiul countryside. Advice - take Gretel's advice... More

I stayed at the Pond House this past winter while visiting the Woodstock area for the weekend. Overall, it was a pleasant stay in a good location - near skiing and other things to do. The decor was charming and very New England. The room was spacious and stocked with interesting reading materials. The bed was comfy with fresh linens.... More
