Four Columns Inn & 1832 Tavern

This is a lovely inn! Highly recommend. We spend a weekend in the region and fell into our cozy and comfy bed each night saying “thank goodness we booked this place!” We awoke to a serene Vermont property - it features a calm banking brook, fire pits, and beautiful gardens. They accommodated our pup (even had a bed waiting for him when we arrived) and the staff was exceptionally kind, welcoming, and attentive. We had continental breakfast one morning, and then sat in the full restaurant for a big breakfast our second morning. Overall we had a delightful time and can’t wait to be back.

This place was beautiful. It was so welcoming when we arrived. The front desk attendant walked us all around the property and showed us directly to our room. The room was extremely clean and cozy. There is complimentary continental breakfast, snacks, and juice available 24/7. The tavern was convenient and the food was decent. I would 100% come back to this inn if I was in the area again.

Just a fabulous Inn in a beautiful wee town. The owner and the staff are professional, courteous and make you feel at home from minute one. We had such a relaxing weekend. The other guests felt the same as the vibe was evident. We booked a weekend for next February as it was too good not to experience again. We will be back often! Cheers, Mel & Del 🇮🇪

Perfect place for a little getaway. Close enough to Brattleboro and other towns to explore the area. All the details from the rooms to the lobby and outside areas added to the charm of this quaint inn. Staff were extremely friendly and helpful. We even had a wonderful chat with the owner. We hope to plan another visit in the fall.

Went to the grand opening of this beautiful Inn. What a beautiful job the new owners have done. The landscape is neat and very well kept. We arrived at night so there were lights in the trees and along the walk ways. The service was great. The owners, Joe & Winnie, were available and present all weekend. The food was great. Menu has a wide variety to choose from. The manager, Denise, would constantly check in on us making sure everything was up to our expectations. The chefs, housekeepers, and bartenders - all amazing, friendly, & welcoming. Great place to visit.

Great get away experience from Boston, MA. The staffs are very friendly and helpful. The room are good size and the mattress are very comfortable. We dine in at the Tavern for dinner. Food was delicious! Will come back again with my families.

My family and I stayed at the Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman suite in February 2025. The rooms are beautiful. Very clean & spacious. Everything you needed was on hand. Bridget was quite accommodating. We ate at The 1832 Tavern which is a cozy atmosphere. The food was delicious! The staff was beyond pleasant and attentive! The manager, Denise checked on us and we felt right at home. The people there are very friendly & helpful to anything we inquired about. Four Columns INN is inviting! We can’t wait to go back in the Summer!

Wow! This was an amazing stay! We were in town looking for a home to purchase and the staff here was so kind, amazing, and went out of their way to make our stay awesome! We stayed in the Paul Newman room and don’t have anything bad to say about it. Bridget and Deb were so nice! They made sure we had anything and everything we needed. Bridget recommended the general store across the street for a delicious lunch. We had dinner both nights at the Tavern, which was so delicious. They had live music both nights and our waitress Alex was extremely friendly and recommended some great local places. We will definitely be back and hopefully make dinner there a reoccurring thing!! Thank you all for make us fall in love with Vermont even more!!!

We ate in the Tavern last night. The food was good but not exceptional. Chicken Parm had a four ounce chicken breast with lots of pasta. No salad or bread and it was $29. The fish and chips had heated frozen fries at $26. Mixed drink was $15. Outrageous. Would not recommend.

Stayed here this past weekend for a friends wedding. Cannot say enough great things! Pricing is reasonable, rooms are so warm and cozy!! We stayed in the main building "tarragon" room. Beautiful fireplace and large jacuzzi tub. The bed was heaven!!! Had a small bar/eating area downstairs for breakfast and pre dinner cocktails. Great Bloody Mary!! And had a fantastic omelet! Dory helped us and was so accommodating and friendly. Bob was our bartender before we had dinner at Andrea's Table in the main building. We loved Bob! Really made us all feel welcomed! And you must must eat at Andrea's table. I also posted a review there. Excellent! Then you can end your night by the fire pit as our group did Friday and Saturday night. Perfection! Highly recommend!!!

I'm sorry to say I did not have a favorable experience here. The sides served were all room temperature and my meal was cold. One of the sides was a stuffing muffin and not only was it cold, it was hard. The food came out to us at different times. Some people were well into their meal before others were served. I did not mention this to the waiter because he seemed really stressed out and he seemed to be getting angry. We've been to the Four Columns at least 3 other times to eat and had amazing meals and experiences. Unfortunately this was not one of them.

We have been coming to the Four Columns for over 14 years, both with the original owners and later, the new ones who reopened it. The current owners gave it a nice refresh without loosing the charm, and added the pub as a second more casual dinning area. During the height of COVID we came twice and commend them on cleaning protocols and offering a grab and go breakfast as law limited dinning. This October they are finally a bit closer to normal....the hot breakfast is back and the new chef is a rockstar!!!! I do wish the pub was open longer and had some more food (burgers and fries could be easy to add) but overall the drinks were great and the staff as always was so nice. They do provide vouchers at the newly redone Newfane Market on days the kitchen is not running. Overall, will return again to this gem of a property!!

Very rustic drive through right curves in the woods to arrive here but enjoyed the natural scenery on our drive. The Four Columns Inn is a top local business offering fine dining options daily to locals and to lodging guests who make a reservation. Upon check in and browsing the dinner menu, we opted not to partake of the $$$ dining option on site and instead to drive a short distance for more casual and reasonably priced dining. Breakfast was included in our two night booking, so the plan is to dine on site for breakfast. Or room is spacious with a fabulously comfortable king bed and bathroom suite with jetted tub and steam shower. Air conditioning works well in room, which is essential in the heat of July! The pool is within a beautiful garden area with trees around the perimeter. When we went to use it, the bottom of pool was covered in tree debris and leaves etc floating throughout the pool. No pool vacuum system visible. Unsure of how clean the water might be with the pool not cleaned, we opted to skip it. A shame when it's a hot July 2 day stay! Creek runs through back part of the property with a hammock nearby and chairs. Badminton is available as is corn hole. Workout equipment is also in a small open barn of sorts & would make for nice nature views while exercising. Breakfast was included in our reservation and 4-5 selections were available. You choose one option and enjoy! My husband & I opted for the eggs, bacon, potatoes, and multigrain toast option and it was good. Coffee was basic but good as well. There are plenty of nearby cafes and eateries around if you want more options or variety in your breakfast/brunch.

WOW! Nicholas you should really heed your own advice and stop responding. Thank you for pointing out that you have yet another system in your business broken. I guess 10 years of schooling isnt enough for you to learn the basics of your job. If you have a guest who stubs their toe i suggest you write it down. If you have dinner guests who complain it should be documented, so that you dont spend days making yourself look like an idiot on a public forum. My total bill as if it matters was three times your guess for dinner and room. If i spend $10 i should be treated with the respect and dignity that all of yoir guests deserve. You are in the Hospitality business, i suggest you start behaving as such. Still with all of the back and forth on this site no one from the 4 columns inn has tried to contact me. The manager is more interested in embarrasing himself on a public forum than actually taking care of his guests. Also posting guest check information on an open forum, seriously unprofessional! DO NOT STAY OR EAT HERE!!!

Long time stable of Newfane. High end reputation for decades. Gone through changes but maintaining the standard of the past

Exquisite country inn in a picture-perfect Vermont village.

I went to the Four Columns for breakfast with my granddaughter. It was fantastic.! The poached eggs were so delicious. The continental breakfast, the French pastries were the best I've ever had! The grounds that the bed-and-breakfast are on are beautiful , we walked around the area and enjoyed the surroundings. If you're able to get a table outside I highly recommend it. The staff is super friendly and the food is outstanding. I tried to get in for dinner but they were booked. I would tell you if you're going to be anywhere in the area to make reservations now for dinner. The dining room was stunning. I can't wait to go back and stay at this bed-and-breakfast.

This place has lost all of its charm and soul...the whimsical painted murals are gone, no one welcomes you at the door, not sure anyone knows how to make an enjoyable dirty martini and the lighting is absolutely horrific. Instead of a warm, cozy and enjoyable environment, it's like walking on to the set of a movie/play or the nightmare of a school cafeteria - way too bright. This place desperately needs a lighting expert. Take down half the lights at the bar (these are way too big/uninviting), replace all the light bulbs with soft white light and add dimmers. The lighting especially in the main dining room is truly a disaster. The only saving Grace of this place and I doubt it's enough is that the food is actually quite delicious. I wish they had a bar menu - perhaps a cheese and charcuterie plate, a croque monsieur, rillettes etc. Too bad...the nature, the setting, the buildings are quite beautiful and have all the potential for a lovely destination.

Couldn't be better. Exquisite French chef/food/service. High priced, but so worth it. Dinner is open to all. Breakfast open to guests only and it is phenomenal. Worth spending the night for the food!

This charming and historic inn has been carefully upgraded to reflect the modern tastes for finer things in life; spacious rooms, comfy down beds, an on-site spa, pond, fire pit, pool, and gorgeous lawns makes this place straight out of a movie. The "Tavern" bar is well-stocked with favorites and the Artisan restaurant offers everything fresh from the farms and back gardens. I loved the large bathroom in our room, too, with its soaking tub AND separate shower - perfect for cleaning off after a day at the river and then falling into bed for a cozy sleep. The complimentary breakfast isn't your classic hotel continental; this seated meal has a broad range of farm to table options of fresh breakfasts. Famed chef Erin Bevan is exceptional, and absolutely passionate about sustainability and the farm to table community. Being in Vermont, surrounded by farms they've partnered with, you know you're getting the freshest food possible. Erin is known for stopping by the farm stand on her way in to work and picking up whatever strikes her fancy! When it came time for dinner we opted for a broad range of plates; I got the super food salad while my sister had the artichoke tart to start. For the main we tried the goat cheese gnocchi and a side of asparagus saffron couscous. Everything was so exceptionally delicious! When it came time to end our stay at the Four Columns Inn it was like saying goodbye to family; everyone had been so welcoming and friendly. I can't wait to head back again!

We had two meals at the bar. The food was excellent, especially the mussels and the steak, but everything we had was terrific (and we are super critical food curmudgeons...) But even nicer was the staff. Everyone was extremely welcoming and friendly and interesting to talk with (especially trading travel stories with bartender Quinn). It made for an unusually enjoyable dining experience and we can't wait to return.

Food was amaaaazing! Service was friendly, but forgetful. Had to stir my coffee w/my knife, as they never brought me a spoon.. atleast not when I needed it. That's kind of how the visit went.. being forgotten a few times.

We stopped for brunch, that was the best idea we had all weekend it was a perfectly presented and simply wonderful flovors Smoked Trout, small vingeret green salad absolutely the freshest eggs I ever had and the final touch of I think small cubes of red pears toast oh I almost forgot a extra spicy Bloody Mary

After our wonderful stay at this Inn, I have to update my review, including to note that they DO have gluten-free breakfast available, such as GF pancakes. We also went to the restaurant for dinner and they have GF burger buns in case you want a sandwich. But note, the veggie burger has gluten! I'd say that the issue is probably communication between the kitchen/chef and the Inn's personnel, as they do not know what the chef can offer. My best advice if you have dietary restrictions is to notify the front desk at check-in and ask if they can accommodate you by providing [..fill in the blank ...], in my case, GF pancakes. The service here was wonderful and our room was so luxurious and comfortable. I also got a massage, which was very good and much needed. The grounds are lovely. It is so well maintained and very well thought-out. There are many nooks and crannies to spend time in. Even though the place was fully booked, we never felt like it was crowded. It was a wonderful stay and we would come here again. There is lots to do in the area, particularly Brattleboro, but also driving around the area.

Simply amazing. All the fine details at this hideaway are impeccable. The service in the bar & restaurant is top-notch. It's usually the same crew every day, so if you're a guest there they really get to know you and treat you like family. Highly recommend the brunch on Sundays from 11am-2pm. Hands down - the best veggie burger I've ever had. The regular breakfast (8-10am) is complimentary daily with your stay. Just remember to bring some extra cash to tip! We didn't so had to order a bloody mary so we could tip our lovely server. I won't complain though! There are a few locals who frequent the tavern as well - very sweet Vermonters who will strike up an interesting conversation and tell you fun stories!

It has been 2 years since the last time my wife and I had been there. I didn't think it was possible, but our stay was better than the last. The Inn is on beautiful property. Our room was very clean and extremely comfortable.. The Chef, Andrew has done and amazing job with the menu. The food, especially breakfast, was delicious. Spencer, the manager, always had a a smile and was always asking if we were good or if we need anything take our stay better. Mariya who was at the front desk was extremely helpful and always had a kind word. Dorien, the bartender at the tavern was so attentive and pleasant. Make sure your try the Frosty North if your there, you won't regret it. My wife scheduled a massage while we were there. She said it was the best massage she has had ever! Thank you Tracey. There were many more that made our stay so memorable, Lorena, Emma, Emma, Mr. Bob and George! I know that I'm missing people. I just want to say thank you to the whole Four Columns staff for a great weekend! We will be back again

Located in Newfane's Four Columns Bed and Breakfast, Artisan is a lovely restaurant. Serving local fare including sumptuous chowders and bisque soups. The entrees were also elegantly plated and well prepared. The hanger steak was well seasoned and served with an arugula salad and truffle thick cut fries. The roasted chicken was enjoyed by my son. My other son gave a high rating to gnocchi with venison. The service was attentive, the setting was intimate and quiet, and the food was just right.

Came to the Four Columns for breakfast this past weekend and the food was spectacular. I had Huevos Benedict with a beautiful Bloody Mary that was garnished in terrific fashion. The spiral cut fries were seasoned to perfection, so I would highly recommend stopping here for breakfast!

This place is a missing the loving touch of an owner/innkeeper and the flair and flavor of an accomplished chef (on those days when they actually serve food here, which is only Wed-Sun). Its now part of a 20 something unit chain from vat to Texas and it shows. Such great history list in translation. The staff tries very hard and is well intended, but young. We did not get any housekeeping after the first night, which was a big disappointment... coming back to a dirty place. For dinner, the main restaurant menu is unavailable. There is a Tavern dinner menu which was poor (selection and quality). The restaurant was also woefully understaffed, so despite the galant efforts of the long-standing waiter Bob, he just couldn't humanly keep up. Then, there's the food. They have a dish called shrimp cioppino which was a mistake to order. The shrimp was supposed to be jumbo grilled shrimp and it was medium size boiled shrimp which were undercooked and probably contributed to an upset stomach... Overall, it was flavorless. The burgers were flavorful but the bottom buns were mush, literally. Maybe they sat too long. The fries were overcooked. Also, ketchup is served in tiny ramekins which are much too small, but with the short staff it's hard to get appropriate refills. Also they had a beer and burger promo for $20 but you have to get only certain beer... We were not informed of this promo despite ordering burgers and beer... Had we been informed, we would have switched beers to conform with the promo... Small item but when things go wrong this kind of stuff tends to happen and leaves people feeling disappointed. In the morning for breakfast we ordered pancakes and they were over-cooked to the point of being burned... We exchanged one of the most overcooked pancake orders for a fresh batch and those were also overcooked. The bacon while quite tasty was also char burned to an excessive degree. These items should have never made it out of the kitchen, never made it past the chef or past the waitress. In addition, it would've been nice if there was some fruit for the pancakes, like blueberries or strawberries or bananas, etc. but no fruit in stock. Also the oj served at breakfast is Tropicana equivalent, which is fine for a Holiday Inn or a Sheraton, but not an upscale boutique inn trying to appeal to foodies. At a minimum should be equivalent to Whole Foods bulk packaged Florida OJ. Lastly, the breakfast has a $16 up charge for Eggs Benedict... Really, maybe $16 could be the price of Eggs Benedict to an outside guest, but not the up charge to an Inn patron that already is getting free breakfast. And, also breakfast took much too long and the place wasn't very busy...But we were anxious to go skiing and were frustrated with the delay in the food arriving to our table. The restaurant was also unable to have in stock the following basic menu items: no chili, no soup of the day, and no Caesar salad (no salad at all). They certainly could have gone a half mile down the road to Dutton Berry Farm and easily stocked up on provisions such as salad and heirloom tomatoes and probably ingredients for chili and soup... but the point is that if they missed a food delivery, there were high quality supply options very close by, if there was only someone with the wherewithall to do something about it, which is where the lack of an innkeeper and true chef really makes a difference. Not having breakfast or dinner available for 2 out of 7 nights is a big faux pas as well. It also would have been nice to have had someone offer to help us w our luggage upon check in, let alone show us to the room, and how things like the fireplaces work, but I think the theme here is "ask and they will try to accommodate" but otherwise don't expect them to volunteer. Indeed, the staff tries very hard to accommodate and they are all very nice... So kudos in that department.

This restaurant was recommended by the hosts of our B&B. They were not wrong. Holy smokes! Every single thing we tried was exceptional. In fact, we loved it so much, we returned the next night for another culinary adventure and couldn't have been more impressed. The food is absolutely delicious ... like every single bite is eyes rolling back and whimpering good! Phenomenal staff and great atmosphere complete this amazing find. Just go, already!

Amazing place. Stayed in one of the big rooms.... stunning view. Quaint but have modern comforts... best of both worlds. Not a surprise to hear celebs stay here. Also breakfast is very good, made to order. The RESTURANT is also some spectacular.

For relaxation, this place is perfect. Quiet in the off season, which is perfect if you want to avoid crowds. The restaurant has the standard fare of fish or meat and potatoes which they do very well but also puts out interesting good vegan and vegetarian food that is awesome without being precious. The breakfast is truly substantial- enough to be brunch, making your stay more economical! The pub is Cosy and inviting. They have a great beer list and seems to attract locals. There is a nice library & sitting area in the front of the property where you can make yourself coffee or tea. They have rooms allocated for people with dogs, but keep in mind the B & B want you to take your dog when you leave for the day or the evening. The Inn has substantial hiking trails, a spa and an outdoor swimming in the summer. I'm looking forward to going back very soon.

My daughter stayed there the night before her wedding, which we originally booked with the previous owners, it was nice but certainly not worth the money we paid. Room had a musty mildew smell to it. Gardens were pretty and the staff was nice.

BEST MASSAGE EVER! I hesitated to write this, since I don't want him to be too busy when I need another appointment, but it wouldn't be fair to all of those missing out if I didn't: Book a massage with Jesse Skiff at the Four Columns Inn Spa. It was the best massage ever. Truly magic hands, in a wonderfully relaxing environment. And the European Steam Shower is an amazing experience as well. I had forgotten how wonderful a massage makes the body feel - can't wait to book the next one.

All family, great food and drinks, artisan food. We've been living for Brunch every Sunday.

We had an unpleasant experience at The Artisan Restaurant and did not eat here. We came in for dinner and were about to be seated. We then mentioned that we were staying locally at an LGBT-specific venue (we mentioned the name to the host) and then the host said, "oh, ok -- I'll be right back". She left for a few minutes and then came back and said, "actually, we are pretty full tonight." Full? There were just a few people in the restaurant! At least 2/3rds of the tables were open. Even if they had been completely full, the appropriate comment would have been something like, "it will be a 30 minute wait". My husband asked if we could eat at the bar and the host said yes, but I wondered why she didn't just offer this to us to start if she wasn't going to seat us in the restaurant. As a gay couple, situations like this feel very hurtful. So we decided to leave.

My boyfriend and I booked a few nights at this location last November, and we had an absolutely amazing stay! The Four Columns Inn is charming and comfortable, the staff is friendly and accommodating, and (to top it off) the food is fresh and delicious. They have chickens roaming around the premises, so you know the eggs are phenomenal. For city people like us, we couldn't wait to get away for the weekend and relax. There was a fireplace in our room that only added to the cozy feel of the place. We stayed on the first floor, which was conveniently located next to the small parlor where we drank tea and played board games before going to bed every night. During our stay we bought incredible cheese and crackers from the Grafton Village Cheese Company nearby, browsed records at In the Moment in Brattleboro, and had great diner food at the Chelsea Royal Diner. I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a short getaway trip with someone special--have fun!

This was the most amazing inn! We went away for a romantic weekend and we were blown away. The rooms are gorgeous and spacious. Nothing beats the double sided fireplaces or the 4 poster beds. The included breakfast was amazing- not your typical fare. My boyfriend and I loved it so much we plan to go every year during various seasons. I highly recommend!

If you're looking for a romantic getaway in the countryside of Vermont, look no further. In fact, ask for Room 11. It's tastefully decorated with a king bed and sitting area that opens onto a large deck with Adirondack chairs. I was bit risqué and ventured out for a clothes-less photo in the snow sipping my Prosecco....you're never too old for a bit of fun! We enjoyed the bubbly with a beautiful cheese board and some local chocolates, then headed into the jetted tub. This room has a two sided fireplace in the bedroom and bathroom, making for a very romantic ambiance. We went downstairs for dinner around 6 and were glad we had made a reservation. It was a bit noisy but things got considerably more quiet when food started to be served. We enjoyed salmon crostini, seafood bisque, salad entrees and dessert. Each course superbly presented and perfectly cooked. Breakfast was good, a nice selection of usuals and great coffee. We will definitely go back!

We stayed here last fall, I'm very late writing this review. However, our stay at the Four Columns Inn was a lovely experience that I would definitely recommend. We stayed in the room on the first floor with the fire place, I believe the Newfane room. It was very clean and comfortable. We are not from Vermont, so our weekend of hiking and apple picking was a completed Vermont fall experience with staying at the cozy Inn! We ate in the restaurant for dinner and breakfast the next morning. Both meals were delicious, the food seriously was outstanding. They're menu is local so it was very fresh. This place is a hidden gem, next time I am in Vermont I will definitely book another visit!

This hotel is gorgeous! We splurged for one of the Windham rooms with a fireplace and jacuzzi and it was so worth it!! We ended up in room #10 - all the staff say it's their favorite - and it really is gorgeous and so cozy! The staff are super friendly and helpful. Will checked us in and is extremely helpful and accommodating. Christine even brought me a mimosa at breakfast (they technically don't serve them until 11am brunch). The restaurant is also great! If you're staying, definitely make dinner reservations!

We had another magnificent meal at The Four Columns last night, and we were sitting next to friends who agreed that it's top notch. The food (crab & corn soup, hangar steak, pasta, scallops, and salad) was fresh and excellently prepared, the service was superb, and the ambiance in the main dining room is beautiful. It couldn't be improved upon!

Unfortunately, a very nice inn and excellent restaurant and service are ruined by greed. The amenities as simple as a sitting room with a fireplace were not available because they booked the room for a large dinner party both nights. Why they could not eat in the restaurant like everyone else and allow the inn guests to enjoy the inn amenities they advertise is beyond me. All we wanted was a nice room to sit in front of the fire and read but we were basically restricted to our room with one chair. Just disgraceful treatment.

What a beautiful spot! There is so much to do- From hiking, biking, visiting the hall art foundation and fantastic gardens and visiting the goats @Big picture farm we had a blast. Four columns is very special- from Jesse's excellent Massage to the farm to table dining at artisan (Try the scallops and panne cotte), our stay was Wonderful and I can't wait to go back! We visited mass moca on the drive home for the sol lewitt show- not to be missed.

I had been a bit concerned when I read the Four Columns inn had been purchased by an out of state small luxury hotel chain, Delamar. While I was not surprised the previous owners had failed I was worried corporate ownership would not be kind to one of the most romantic Vermont inns. This would be our 7th stay, always near valentines day year after year. Well, despite a few minor tweaks Delamar stewardship has exceeded my expectation on every level. First the rooms. Little seems to have changed until you look closely. Room still have fireplaces and most have the glorious two person tubs. Despite being well below zero this weekend the rooms were warm and cozy, as was the dining room. The inns design is still very much in keeping with rural Vermont. I did notice significant upgrades to the fire alarm and wifi systems. Over all the place has a cleaner, warmer feeling then I remember. The Four Columns was always known for outstanding dining. So the bar was already very high. Artisans, the new restaurant, exceeded expectation. The presentation is a little more relaxed then the previous owner, but the food was actually better. I had the homemade pasta and local sourced Rabbit. Outstanding. As was the local pork we also had. For both dishes the chef and our waitress recommended wines that were both perfect. In fact the wait staff was young, knowledgeable and absolutely a pleasure to work with. Wine selection could be a bit larger but I'm a snob about wine anyway. Nor for the few tweaks I mentioned. They have added a much needed spa and, being Valentines day, we had requested a couples massage. The new facility was very nice but the sub zero weather did overwhelm the spa's heating. So the massage room was a too cold. But the local massage therapist made up for the chill with extremely good massages and table warmers. This is first year engineering stuff they will, no doubt, fix this summer. The Sunday brunch seemed a bit overwhelming for the staff. We did need to ask a few times for items. Having had a dinner with the same waitress I knew how good she was so I would chalk up the experience to a large Valentines crowd and a few glitches in the brunch operation. The new management team was always available and helpful. So, there you have it. We will indeed be back year after year.

First of all, the website is misleading. It just didn't look or feel like those photos at all. It all seemed so much more modern and exciting on the website than the dated drabness that we experienced. Second of all, I really don't like writing negative reviews, especially to business owners who seem very nice. But it's not right feeling misled and disappointed after paying such steep prices, and I really wouldn't want other people to be let down like we were. After staying at some pretty amazing Inns for around the same price, Four Columns fell really short in comparison. For one of the cheaper, smaller rooms this may be a pretty sweet deal. But if you're going for a luxurious experience in one of the larger, more pricey suites then I would recommend going to a different Inn. A lot of things were subpar. We noticed the showers weren't cleaned thoroughly at all. There was a mysterious clump of hair in the shower upon our arrival that never was removed...ICK. The toilet clogged a little too easily and they had an uncovered plunger looming in the corner...YIKES. Some of their old furniture broke and it took them a day to just remove it, let alone replace it....UGH. The town was cute but boring....YAWN. They could use a little refurbishing and redecorating...it felt a little 1984 for us. The carpets were drabby and the wood floors in the room were scuffed up. As for service, I give applauds to the man running the Inn. He was helpful with directions and overall very friendly. Now for the restaurant, which is pretty much one of the only places to eat around the area. It was insanely expensive. And for that price you should get AMAZING service. The service and the food wasn't much to write home about. At least not for that price. Now for some good news: -Beautiful, lush property -Delicious breakfast [especially the homemade granola] -The man running the Inn What Im trying to say is: I recommend going up North instead of staying in this sleepy town. And if you can afford prices like this, do yourself a favor and stay at a different Inn. Bottom line is it just wasn't worth it. I think we would have been happier staying a funkier, cheaper motel where we knew what we'd be getting for our money.

I believe we were one of the first guests to stay at the newly refurbished Inn and it is spectacular. We've been coming to Newfane for years, as my in-laws live a short drive away, but with a growing family - the small guest room/office wasn't comfortable anymore. Now we've found our new spot. The service was incredible and friendly...our kids decided at 9am, that they'd like to head out to the pool (65-degrees out), and while there - one of the managers came out with a tray of lemonade for them. Try getting that at a massive conglomerate hotel up on the mountains. Our room was completely renovated and decorated the way any great Inn should be in the mountains. Clean, bright, feels like home...period. The food! Both nights spent at the Inn, which has a friendly little bar area with a nice selection of anything you'd like - including a good selection of local craft brews. From the pork chop to kid's burgers, fresh salads and a table presentation you'd expect in New York City or San Francisco...a home run. The best part...the people. This Inn is well staffed and not running on empty where 2 people are doing everything. So friendly and accommodating to all of our needs - we had such a great weekend that we just booked for Christmas week as well. I'd hurry up and book if I were you...a few more weekends of reviews like this and you'll never get in and you'll be kicking yourself somewhere else. Thanks Four Columns Inn! See you in December!!

This place is great ! Very comfortable guest rooms . Nice bathrooms. Food at the bar was great . Also I ended up getting a 60 minute massage from Jesse . It was the best massage ever . Especially the lower torso and back stretches. This place is great all around . I would highly recommend!

The brunch is sooooo yummy! Their Bloody Mary is perfect. The atmosphere is lovely and classy.

I adore this place and it's a venue that has centered around some pretty significant events in my life, yet it closed this past Spring and has been foreclosed upon. Very, very sad.

We met friends for dinner here last night any it was amazing. The service was great and the food was fabulous. There was a date night menu which was 3 courses for $35 and well worth it. Give it a try if you are in the area.

We stayed here for two nights in the Williamsville room. It was such a beautiful room! The property itself is gorgeous. We spent our mornings lounging by the pond reading and walked around the grounds with our dog. The staff were all super friendly and helpful. The breakfast was soooo good! I would recommend this place to friends for a nice relaxing getaway.

The service was a bit slow, but I loved the atmosphere and the food. I would like to return in the summer or fall.

Quaint little inn in a tiny town. We stayed in room 2 on the top floor. It is beautifully decorated and very peaceful. However, the windows face the main house and the outdoor lights didn't go off until the middle of the night. We closed what curtains we could but it was still VERY bright in the room. Also, the ceiling was covered in lady bugs peppered with a few flys and stink bugs. Tis' the season I guess? The "library" was ok. Not really a place to relax though. Just a tiny room to grab coffee or tea and be off. Grounds were lovely to walk around. Chickens were friendly, landscaping is beautiful, there are nice paths to walk and nooks to sit in. I really enjoyed the playlist that can be heard while mulling about. The included breakfast was very nice as well. I won't easily forget the muffins and bread! I would go back but request a different room.

I randomly picked Four Columns Inn for a two night stay and I'm so happy I did. I can't say enough about how wonderful the entire experience was. The food at the Artisan Restaurant is first rate. The staff is great. (Christine really hooked me up with a lovely room.) I booked a massage with Jesse at the spa and it was incredible. The grounds are absolutely gorgeous as is the pool. I had never visited this part of Vermont before and I will definitely be back.

Food was delicious. I had trout and cheese selection for dessert. Great selection of local beers. Service was very friendly and attentive.

My partner and I had been traveling from Seattle and wanted to treat ourselves to a special night. Our stay was started off by being greeted at the desk with a gentleman who could barely smile. We had lots of luggage and he sat and watched us struggle to get it all up the stairs, never offering to help. The hostess and server in the dining room where very nice, unfortunately when we had legitimate concerns about our meal, instead of sending the Chef or manager over, the waiter was put in a position of embarrassment by having to asking us what we should have been served per the menu description, and then having to come back to us a second time to give us the lame excuse given to him by the chef....which was "our menu description maybe isn't accurate, as our chef serves all parts of the animal to eliminate waste" (we ordered a veal chop and got two veal stock bones with a little meat). My partner and I truly felt bad for the server being put in this position and he was very nice, so we decided we would take it up with the manager the next day. Saying the food was sub-par is generous. Having spent my life working in culinary, I appreciate the Chef's desire to reduce waste, as our industry can be terribly wasteful, but you don't lay that on the customer, and you word your menu appropriately....as it is lying otherwise and that's a kind of fraud in our industry! Then there was our experience with checking out.....we approached the front desk and stood there for about 5 minutes while two girls in torn sweatpants stood in the little closet behind the desk talking about their schedule issues with the woman at the front desk, all three of them looking at us standing there the entire time! When the front desk attendant finally decided to help us check out and asked how our stay was, I replied with "not very good"....her response...nothing!....not even an "I am so sorry to hear that", she just went about her way checking us out!!! My receipt only reflected our meal (which was wildly expensive) that we had charged to the room, but not the actual room charge, so I asked for a receipt to reflect all of it. The response I received was that because we had paid for the room through a travel site, she could not get that information! WHAT???? At this point we decide we would reach out to the general manager personally through email later, as we assumed, he would be concerned about the lack of hospitality we had received and our general dissatisfaction. We were wrong, this establishment does not care! I have since sent several requests, via email, to have someone reach out to me and have received only responses saying that a "reference number has been attached to my request", but that is it. My partner posted on yelp, and 6 weeks after the post the manager of the establishment, Nicholas Squire, has responded in such poor fashion that if I were the owner of the Four Columns Inn I would be questioning if this young man knows the definition of hospitality....not once has he even given a simple apology for our concerns!!! Anyone who has chosen this field as a career knows that most things can be defused by a simple "I am sorry". Both my partner and are executive chefs, myself 25 years and counting and my partner 23 years and counting. Combined that is a total of 48 years, roughly 200,000 hours working in kitchens of restaurants, hotels, country clubs, yachts, and non-commercial food service.... I can honestly say that neither one of us has ever had an experience from a high-end establishment that truly lacked so much from start to finish! If the manager ever decides to respond to me or my emails, maybe he will have brushed up on the true meaning of hospitality before he does, but if not, I will be glad to help educate him. In short, we will never be returning to this establishment. I am from Seattle and will be telling everyone I know to avoid this establishment, and my partner who is from that part of Vermont, intends on telling everyone he knows that this is an establishment one would be wise to avoid!
