Made INN Vermont, an Urban-Chic Boutique Bed and Breakfast

A very special place Linda, the owner, has created. It is less like going to a high-end B&B than going to your eccentric aunt's house and having her do whatever she can to make your stay wonderful. |The location of the house is perfect to experience downtown restaurants, riverfront and the shopping district yet it is easy to avoid the worst city traffic if you are sightseeing beyond Burlington. There is free parking in the quiet neighborhood. The Inn really shines when you enter it. The high ceiling, beautiful trim declares old world luxury, but it is counterbalanced with an array of modern art, eclectic mix of personal things that make the Inn feel relaxed and homey. There are treats, beverages always out for the taking, and wine seems to be too. Though Linda insists that it is all left from past guests. There is a hot tub outside and many cozy spots to relax. |Our high ceiling oaked trimmed room was airy, clean and fun with brica & brac and the bed was quite comfortable. The private bathroom though down the hall was clean and sell supplied. |But what makes this Inn special is Linda herself and what a cook. You will love breakfast.|Looking forward to staying there again.

Wow !! A gem ! Why would anyone visit Burlington and stay in a boring hotel ? Linda welcomes you like a guest in her home. If you don’t wanna know then don’t ask her ! 🤪 Linda and “farmer” Fern prepared amazing breakfasts. The vibe of this Inn makes Burlington an even more memorable destination.

LOVED this place! An 1881 mansion, beautifully maintained with an eclectic, cool vibe.My room (904) was comfy with a dhic decor incluuding a turn-table and albums and an Eames type chair and ottoman. Very stylish vintage feel. Linda, the owner has coffee ready early and makes a great breakfast. There are always drinks and snacks in the large kitchen. You can venture down at midnight to a cool dimly lt livingroom with soft music playing to grab a midnite snack or just sit and read. Just so "chill". I am DEFINATELY coming back!!!!!

We had an amazing stay at Made INN Vermont in Burlington! This boutique inn has a cool, eclectic style. Every room is full of personality that make it feel truly unique and welcoming. The bed was very comfortable, and we appreciated how cozy and well-kept everything was. One of the biggest highlights was how pet-friendly the inn is. Our dogs were given the VIP treatment! Linda went above and beyond by making them their own scrambled eggs during breakfast! Linda’s cooking was absolutely delicious. You can tell a lot of care goes into every detail, from the food to the atmosphere. The location is also perfect—just a quick drive to downtown Burlington, where you’ll find lots of shops, restaurants, and waterfront views of Lake Champlain. We highly recommend Made INN Vermont to anyone looking for a fun, comfortable, and memorable stay, especially if you're traveling with well-behaved pups!

Made INN and your host Linda are among the wonders of the world of hospitality. The mansion, its appointments and decorations - there’s something interesting to note in every nook and cranny. Breakfast is ideal, front porch or back courtyard or indoors, tasty treats beautifully served. The rooms are a delight, the location is perfect for a brief walk downtown to Church Street area where you have your choice of cuisine for sidewalk dining. And Linda is wonder - available, always brings lovely, colorful and brilliant conversation, and has the best top tips for what to do in Burlington and environs. If you’re going to VT, go out of your way to visit Linda. If you’re going to Burlington - this where you should stay. Enjoy!

My partner and I stayed here one night about a year ago and could not leave quickly enough. We were treated very strangely by the owner and were extremely uncomfortable, we nearly left the same night we arrived, but decided to stay since we paid. But we absolutely did not stay for breakfast because of how rude the owner had been to us the night before.

This BnB was amazing! Fun, eclectic, and chill vibes all around. Tamika was super hospitable, and Linda was hilarious and makes a mean breakfast! Everything was decorated so perfectly, and we truly enjoyed our stay here. Please make sure you check out the lookout at the top - it’s amazing!

Linda and Made INN Vermont did it again! I have been there four times now with no regret! She goes above and beyond to please, even welcomed my second room that could not arrive until 4:30am, they knew the pass codes but Linda was there to greet them regardless. ❤️ Wonderful, comfortable, clean accommodations, amazing food for breakfast and always a pick up treat if needed when returning in the evening. I didn’t bring my dog this time, I could have and know he would be treated royally as in the past. Linda and Made INN Vermont bring the love, comfort, accommodation and beauty of VT all together with her eclectic, exuberant personality, amazing design of rooms AND bathrooms and a spectacular view of the lake/mountain region from atop! Thank you Linda!!! xxx Marie, Steph, Syd & Chase 2025 🙂🥰❤️ P.S. I need to mention the location is ideal for visiting the city or being close to the University and local colleges. Made INN Vermont is a true gem!

What a beautiful stay with a wonderful host. We had a delicious breakfast (one of the best I've ever had and we're both major foodies), and great conversations. She really made us feel right at home. I don't sleep well places usually and I slept like a rock. We stayed in room 904 and the bed was a cloud. I wish we were staying more than 1 night during our week vacation here in Vermont from Michigan. Many instruments around the home you can enjoy and play. Since leaving this morning we've already discussed coming back in the future. You can't go wrong with choosing this home. Great walking distance to maybe places around.

My only regret about staying at the Made INN Vermont was how short it was, only 2 nights. Linda and her staff provide more than a place to sleep at night... This inn serves up the details and atmosphere to make you feel truly in a home, and that home is yours for as long as you're their guest. Or, the funky home of your cool, rocker aunt. Actually, a second regret is that I didn't take the "breakfast" in Bed&Breakfast seriously enough. On my first day, I was eager to hit the Burlington South End (seriously, don't miss it!) and skipped Linda's amazing breakfast. Luckily, on my last morning, I sat down for breakfast and realized what I'd been missing. A restaurant quality breakfast, made to order and beautifully presented. Lastly, the art, the LP turntables, the books, the funky vibes--if you appreciate these things, Made Inn is the place to stay in Burlington. You're welcome.

This fun place is infused with creativity. The rooms are all filled with character. The owner makes a yummy breakfast and there are teas and coffee available whenever you want it. The location is walking distance to the adorable downtown which is full of shops and restaurants.

Linda offers comfortable and homey lodging delivered in a positive and quirky way. The breakfast I had, sitting leisurely on the outdoor patio surrounded by flowers, was absolutely superior. The variety of food and drink is staggering and all of it offered with a big smile. Everyone (read: YOU) should experience this place and this hostess at least once in your life.

Great old inn right at the Champlain College campus which was perfect for our purpose, an event there. We had stayed before at one of the cookie-cutter hotels in town and didn't like having to haul up the hill to the school. We had also stayed at the lovely Willard Street Inn but it recently changed owners and is under renovation so we gave Made INN Vermont a try - everything seemed to be about the same price. I love this inn for the insanely good made-to-order breakfast, the location across the street from pretty Champlain college and the views of the lake and mountains that being up in the hill district provides. We found the half-mile walk to the Church Street shops and restaurants to be really easy. I'll be back in August for two nights for college dropoff and am already excited to return.

For years I've dreamt of visiting Vermont @ Christmas. I finally found the perfect travel partner to make that dream a reality and got busy searching for a special Inn to add to the experience. Made INN Vermont did not disappoint. The Innkeeper Linda and her sweet staff served up amazing breakfasts, kept our room clean & loaded with snacks and goodies! We really loved our room (905) as it stayed so warm, cozy and accommodating on the coldest of days that Burlington gave us. I was able to catch some pretty sweet shots of this very unique Inn that I will attach. After a hearty breakfast each morning (5 days) we had emails from Linda about the best places to eat and things to do every day. This lady knows her city as none of them disappointed!! We so enjoyed our stay, with great food, hot tub and all the amenities, as well as the beautiful downtown Burlington and neighboring cities. The drive alone to Shelburne was breathtaking in the winter. Reindeer Farm made the drive even more special. We both agree this was an amazing and unforgettable trip. Fave Restaurants: HEN OF THE WOOD - pricey upscale place in which you need reservations but worth every dang dime! ARCHIES GRILL: Best salmon burgers & friendliest service ever! THE FARMHOUSE TAP & GRILL: wonderful unique menu with delish food you will not want to miss!! Safe & healthy travels to you.

I stayed in Burlington one night. This was my first B&B stay. Since then, I've stayed at others in a few different states and realized this is likely 1 of 1. The exterior as you walk up isn't going to get you excited, but when you walk in, see the endless snacks, the funky cool rooms with more snacks! I personally enjoyed the hot tub. It felt good to just relax outside, unwind and breathe. The breakfast was great and I wanted more bacon! LOL If I'm ever back in the area, I'm coming back.

Girls trip to Vermont this month (March 2023) and we started by staying here. It delivered beyond our hopes. Linda is very attentive and took great care of us. We sat and visited while sipping wine. Our rooms were very comfortable and we slept very well. Breakfast was a treat! Delicious fresh omelet amazing potatoes and yummy avocado toast and bacon. We couldn't recommend this place more. It's a must if you will be in the area. It's an experience that you will be talking about for a long time! J,J&K from Cali.

I loved my three night stay! Linda is a WONDERFUL host and made me the most yummy breakfasts. I was under the weather one day, and she delivered a box of snacks and goodies outside my door, so sweet and thoughtful. My bed was so comfortable and I slept so well, which is not normal for me. The inn is fun and funky, I can't wait to come back.

Tried to make a reservation here and the way the owner spoke to me on the phone (condescendingly) was enough to make me change my mind about staying here. I wanted to speak to her over the phone because this stay was going to be for our mini honeymoon, which is a special trip (obviously) so I wanted her advice on certain things. I made the mistake of first calling there during breakfast time, and she was so rude on the phone. There is a way to tell someone to call back later in a professional manner. I called back around 1pm and never received a call back. My fiancé and I called back around 630pm which was when she told us we should book online and then went back and forth in a condescending manner about whether or not we were on her website or not when we were having some issues with the website. Our thoughts on that we're, why does it matter? Wouldn't you want to just let that go and book a room for us and show us some good customer service? This lady sounded wacky! We are so glad we didn't book online and have to deal with that personality for our minimoon. Update: ****I think Linda's response speaks for itself in showing her lack of professionalism and poor customer service**** and yes we are enjoying our mini moon elsewhere, thank you. Also I just got notified that Linda edited her comment. Here is the original:

Love this place! Awesome decor and excellent location. Breakfast was yummy and Linda was awesome!! Doggo loved it too. 6 stars

Delightful we had a great time with Linda. She was a wonderful host and the breakfast was delicious.

Visited with my boyfriend and daughter for a college tour. What an absolutely memorable stay. It's like stepping back in time but with all the amenities and special touches you can imagine. Brilliantly decorated and breakfast was scrumptious. Thank you Linda! You're the HOSTESS WITH THE MOSTESS!! We sincerely hope to be back because you made us feel so at home.

WARNING: The Inn keeper/Owner of this B&B does not wear a face mask. I was shocked to receive a tour of the property from Linda without a face mask on. In fact she practically bragged about the fact that she doesn't wear. With cases on the rise in US this is is grossly negligent and selfish. If you don't want to wear a mask then stay in your room and give guests written instructions about what they need to know about the property! Majority of the tour was also spent on belittling my intelligence as to whether i'd remember the codes to the doors she gave me. Turns out the "codes" were so simple that if you knew the code to your door you could open every single one in the BnB. It would be safer to leave your travel goods in the car. Oh and to top off our stay the smoke alarm went off twice at 2am. The fact that her gross negligence hasn't been reported in a review is truly worrying. I couldn't get out of there fast enough skipping on her offer to cook us breakfast. NO THANKS! It's a simple ask.... WEAR A MASK and STOP THE SPREAD!

We had planned a 3 day weekend at the Lang House however had to leave after one night because of issues with our dog at home. Danielle could not have been kinder. She assured us that these things happen and sent us home with a big breakfast and a baggie of homemade gluten free muffins. No one wants their time away cut short, however I'm just grateful that we were in the hands of such a lovely and compassionate inn keeper. Also, the inn and room we had was beautiful! Danielle, we will be back! Ken & Maria Ambrose

Great place to stay and welcoming to children (as well as dogs)! I'm not sure any B&B in Burlington allows kids but this one does with warmth and open arms. Our 4 year old loved it as there was no shortage of cool things to play with...for adults as well. Guitars in the hall and main living space, interesting books, eclectic art on the walls and a cool record player (in our room at least) with a set of classic records from Sting to Billy Holiday. Our son loved the medal calypso drum but his favorite was the crew of dinosaurs he played with daily. Our room was cozy and breakfast made to order...delicious. Thanks for the extra potatoes Linda! And the warm hospitality of course. Highly recommend.

Made INN Vermont! A perfect name for a magical, eclectic B&B with a lot of love. We fortuitously discovered this special gem on our first visit to Burlington in the spring. Now it is move in time for my daughter attending UVM and here we are again. Clean, comfortable, hospitable and like I said, magical. The decor makes me want to explore as if I am in a museum of art. Fascinating, the comfort of home and cosmopolitan all in one package. If you're wondering what to do or where to go you will be guided to the best spots in town, even places to bring the dog. Our dog has been very happy here with the kind treats and welcomes. The breakfasts have been lavish and delicious. My only complaint is my bad for eating too many of the complimentary people treats that are provided throughout this exotic, warm B&B.

My husband and I stayed at Made Inn Vermont with our two large dogs, Freddie and Monty, during Covid-19. For anyone traveling with dogs, I would highly, HIGHLY recommend this B&B. Freddie and Monty LOVED the freedom they had in the house, loved the host Lynda, and were incredibly comfortable in both the common spaces and in the room, which came fully equipped with a dog bed, water bottle + jug, dog toys and treats. When they're happy, I'm happy, and boy did they enjoy this part of our vacation! Ok, other than the incredible dog friendliness, here is the breakdown of our stay: AMBIANCE: The house is adorably cozy and designed with an eclectic taste. You can spend hours looking at all the nicknacks around the home. Some are fantastical and artsy, and others are kind of weird lol but they make for great pics and stories. I really enjoyed the decor. SERVICE: We were toured around the property by Kayla, who was very sweet. Lynda, the innkeeper, is super quirky. She has a personality that I can see might rub people the wrong way (no offense!), but she is clearly passionate and means well. She's a straight shooter so I really don't think she'd mind you saying you need more alone time if that's how you feel (responding to other reviewers). FOOD: Wow, what a breakfast! And all the snacks and alcohol available? Incredible!! ROOM: The bed was sooooo comfy. I could stay in it forever. I also loved the fireplace scene on the TV when we walked in. Cute touch. The bathrooms are detached, which wasn't ideal at night, but not a big deal. And my dogs could follow me to and from the bathroom, so it wasn't so bad.

The friendliest inn keeper you will ever meet. Top notch service, super friendly staff, comfortable rooms. Our stay was so amazing with the attention to detail to the attentiveness. The cozy, intimate Victorian is so chic, original and romantic. I loved that the Inn's keeper went out of her way to pick up a cake before my arrival as per my friend requested to suprise me for my birthday. She even organized with them so that the hand written card was also presented to me at check in. Linda made us special treats, and margaritas to welcome us. After coming back to the inn from dinner, we stopped and bought a bottle of wine to bring back for us to enjoy. So nice of them to offer making sangria for us from our wine that we brought back. Voila, a few minutes later, we got a beautifully presented pitcher of sangria in a tray await to be served. If that was not above and beyond service, I don't know what is. Not to mention the amazimg made to order breakfast. Feeling so pampered. I usually enjoyed my stay at a resort but this Inn had change my mind and converted me to a luxury boutique hotel kind of gal. Bar none it was hand down the best place to stay in Burlington, providing the most exceptional service I had received in my years of traveling and lodging. Well done Made Inn. Thank you for making my birthday the most memorable one! Two thumbs up!!! We are looking forward to our return in the near future.

Extraordinary. Refreshing. Cordial. EXTRAORDINARY: The Made Inn is an unbelievable refuge with the hospitality of a 5-star resort. Seeing as this was our first time in Burlington and at the Made Inn, we found the best way to describe our stay is that Linda's personality matches Burlington perfectly -- full of character, spunk, and unique in all the right ways. The Inn itself is something you have to see to believe. The decor and ambiance work in perfect harmony, singing it's way into your memories, and hitting every high note along the way. REFRESHING: Between the complimentary Heady Toppers and Focal Bangers, the perfectly crafted, Michelin-star deserving breakfasts courtesy of Siobhan (the executive chef), and mattresses that make you feel like you're sleeping on a cumulonimbus cloud, you'll be feeling like you're ready to create World Peace or, at the very least, have a drunken night on Church Street. CORDIAL: The house is chock full of anything you could want. The staff addresses any need before you even have one. We were also traveling our dog and the room was outfitted for an Westminster Best-in-Show Champion -- dog bags, a pouch of treats, his own water bottle, and dishes to boot. My wife, a vegetarian, was able to eat a full breakfast every morning. Me, a chronic overeater, was served til my heart's content (or discontent, depending on how you look at things). At the end of your stay, you'll be stuffed with unforgettable food, satiated with Linda's luxurious concoctions, and most of all, fulfilled by the attention to detail you, the celebrity, deserve. Just book this place already.

I had the most relaxing weekend retreat here. I already had high expectations from the pictures and previous reviews but I was truly blown away. It's an exquisitely decorated place. Linda has put so much heart and effort into this home that it shows through all the details. She knows what's great about life and wants to share it with you. I remember thinking it would be great if I could prop our room door open and looked down to find a door stop already attached. I drove through the first snow fall of this winter to be greeted with a sangria, cotton candy, and caramel popcorn. How perfect! I've stayed in B&Bs before and usually expect old dated furniture that smells like Grandma's sweaters but this room could not be further from that. Room 904 has a king sized Tempurapedic bed, record player with plenty of vinyls, and an Eames lounge chair and ottoman set. One wall was painted in black chalkboard and covered with love notes from past visitors. I was completely satisfied just laying in bed, listening to Tina Turner on the record player while strumming along on the ukulele (yes that happened). In the morning Linda greeted us with a friendly smile and shot of Vit C, freshly squeezed orange juice. She diligently took our breakfast orders and then returned with our made to order breakfast. She made great recommendations for local restaurant which we followed for every subsequent meal. There was a cornucopia of snacks and treats, a fully stocked fridge in our room, and unlimited beverages. I could not have asked for more amenities. Looking forward for a return in the spring!

Made Inn Vermont is a one-of-a-kind inn rivalled only by its innkeeper, Linda. The home and its owner evoke the glamour and sophistication of a by gone era. When my husband and I arrived, Linda warmly greeted us and generously offered us drinks, delicious baked goods, and organic snacks. Her Victorian home decorated in an eclectic mix of 1950's glam, bohemian fun, and beautiful antiques amalgamated with her authentic zany humour made us both feel welcome and indulged. Linda knows Burlington extremely well and was able to suggest many great places in which to dine, explore, and to immerse ourselves in the art and culture of the area. The bed and linens were sumptuous; the robes in the closet were warm and cozy, and the perfect sound of vinyl and Frank Sinatra wove its way through her beautiful home. This experience ends with Linda's unrivaled homemade breakfast. If you like laughing, being pampered and feeling completely indulged by a woman who can handle the heat and looks like a 1950's glam star Made Inn Vermont is your place. We will certainly be back, and I give this inn an off the charts rating! Thank you, Linda, for a really wonderful stay.

My wife and I stayed at Made INN three years ago for our honeymoon. We had the greatest time, so there was no doubt that, given the opportunity, we were going to return. That opportunity presented itself for our third anniversary. Needless to say, we have NOT been disappointed. The INN is as perfect as we remembered, and its host, Linda, is the best innkeeper in the city--(maybe the world)--hands down. This time around, we stayed in Room 904. It is the perfect size with a refreshing summer breeze, a gorgeous view, and all the amenities you could ever ask for. Room 904, like the previous rooms we've stayed in, is so welcoming and interesting that you almost have to force yourself to leave and see the rest of the house. It's an even harder chore to get yourself to leave the house, which has a stocked kitchen area, lounge areas, board games, front porch, hot tub, and relaxing back patio. If you can muster the will power to abandon the many comforts of the house, Linda has plenty of recommendations for the city of Burlington, which itself is a special place. I would venture to say that most if not all of the very few negative reviewers on this page only have themselves to blame for their bad experiences. If you speak up and make your requests known, Linda and her staff will accommodate them to the furthest extent possible. If you keep your complaints to yourself, they can't be fixed. Linda and her staff's willingness to solve your problems and make your stay the best it can be is one of their many excellent qualities. I have no doubt that my wife and I will have third, fourth, fifth, and many more visits back to our favorite inn, and the best inn in the city, Made INN.

Had a great stay in this beautiful Victorian inn, hosted by Linda, the charming and very helpful owner/operator. Bed was comfortable, room cozy and charming, but breakfast was the mane attraction. Linda recited the extensive menu options and we sampled most! Not just tasty, but expertly prepared and presented. Beautiful view of Lake Champlain from the 3rd floor! Looking forward to our next visit to Burlington and our stay with Linda! Ross London

What a fun, eclectic experience. Brought my boyfriend here for a birthday surprise two weeks ago. Had read about it and was curious to try it out. The inn is essentially a big Victorian (?) house on South Prospect street. Nicely blended with other homes and Champlain College buildings so you wouldn't really notice it otherwise since there is no signage. Linda, the owner, is not from Vermont, and that makes her especially interesting. She lives in her own private oasis of neat doodads, 19-year old kitties, hot tubs and memorabilia. The first floor is the entrance, sitting room, eating area, kitchen, etc. Everything decorated and designed by Linda. Lots of interesting little toys, puzzles, books, containers. The lighting in the inn is quite dark. It's like an old-style, darker mansion from days gone by. Upstairs are 4 guest rooms, each unique and filled with oddities and things to capture the attention. Our room and a ukelele, a record player and one whole wall that was a giant chalkboard which previous guests had written on, There are four separate private bathrooms down the hall. You choose your favorite and are given a key to open and unlock the door. Upstairs there is a private little lookout area that affords beautiful views of Lake Champlain and the surrounding area. Highlight for me were chatting with Linda and getting to know her two 19-year-old cats. One of whom just had a stroke, so he walked a little funny and his had was at a slight angle. Really adorable. I'm allergic to cats (a bit) but these two were really beautiful and adorable. Would have never guessed there could be 10, little to say 19. There is a very nice hot tub out back in a private area for those who like to soak. Breakfast selections are delicious and there is a wide array of little tasties to sample. Fresh pastries and such are also put out in the afternoon. Each room has a private fridge stocked with goodies, including Heady Topper beer. I'm sure I'm leaving something out, because there is so much of interest at the Inn, but would highly recommend as a unique experience for people who like to try new things. Linda is very accommodating and liberal in her beliefs (as am I). Not sure if an extreme conservative would enjoy as much as I did, but there was a minister and his wife staying at the inn the night we were there and they were very pleasant to chat with the next day. Highly recommend this inn for a unique and fun accommodation experience in Burlington with lots of delicious food thrown in. A five minute walk to downtown and its attractions. Free wifi.

Fabulous Inn, fabulous location and fabulous staff. Could not have felt more comfortable. Plenty to look at in the well decorated rooms. Delicious breakfast. First time in Burlington. The City and this Inn are certainly on my list to return.

My wife and I visited Burlington to celebrate her birthday. Our stay at Made Inn Vermont was glorious. Our host, Linda, treated us with exactly the right amount of attention a guest could want. I think it's worth breaking down the things we appreciate about the Inn to these categories: HOSPITALITY As I said, Linda was amazing. Upon welcome, she spends just the right amount of time providing you with all of the maps you need, suggests some wonderful restaurants, gives you the tour, offers you some home-made sangria or a local beer (both equally terrific), and then leaves you to sink in to your room. But, upon discovering it was my wife's Birthday, Linda went out and bought 2 "Happy Birthday" balloons, two small cupcakes, and a lovely card. When we returned from a long bike ride, we found this surprise waiting for us in our room (along with some sangria). It was pretty awesome. FURNISHINGS We stayed in room 904. It was huge and had a chalk board for one of the walls (with chalk available). We also had a record player and a box of records, including one of my favorite Wynton Marsalis albums (though if you don't like what's there, just roam the house; neatly collected record crates dot the place imploring you to explore). The decoration is eclectic and celebratory, but also clean and welcoming (which describes the entire house, really). I HIGHLY recommend you take a drink up to the Widow's Walk at the top of the house and watch the sun set behind the mountains and Lake Champlain. You will find few views that beat this one in the whole town. FOOD We ate two breakfasts here, and they were both restaurant quality meals. In fact the Creme-Brulee French Toast was better than most things I've had in recent memory. Linda and her staff make sure you have everything you need (and more), so you can start your day beautifully. LOCATION You're close to everything and exactly far enough away from "everything" to know you'll get some sleep and enjoy some quiet time.

The Made INN is truly a one-of-a-kind experience that's a perfect match for a trip to the artistic, free spirited city of Burlington. If you're looking for a typical Hilton/Marriott hotel, keep on driving but if you're a fan of quirky, unique adventures do yourself a favor and book a room now! We came for our first anniversary and had an incredible time -- partially thanks to the amazing owner Linda who made sure we had delicious, local inspired breakfasts, great restaurant/bar recommendations and a great sense of humor that had us constantly laughing. Oh and ask nicely and she may toss you an extra Heady Topper!

The ambiance. The details. The Aesthetic. The comfort. The place. I mean, it can't get better than this. Made Inn Vermont is so gorgeously designed, every detail was a total pleasure. Each space, each room, each bathroom is beautifully curated with interesting objects, gorgeous furniture, interesting art objects and fun to engage with. There were record players in each room and a box of old records! I mean, how much better can it get? And, then after sitting in the incredible mid-century eames chair? I actually didn't want to go home. But, along with the over-all comfort, the details were pretty amazing too. Things like good heat, hot water with great pressure, delicious food, and an incredibly comfortable bed go a long way too. I slept so well there. What a treat. A few other things: The breakfast in the morning was delicious. Fabulous lox and bagels one morning and delicious eggs, bacon and french toast the other day. And if I wasn't working, the mimosas would be flowing (so funnn!). There is a hot tub, and while I didn't bring a bathingsuit and was with colleagues (no naked time for us!) I did really love this detail. Lastly, as soon as we came home we were offered great suggestions for town, drinks and snacks. They were attentive, fun and easy going. I highly recommend Made Inn Vermont and would definitely return.

I visited the Made Inn Vermont in mid-October. Linda and her wonderful staff went out of their way to accommodate our late check-in. Upon arrival, we were graciously greeted with clear check-in instructions, and then (even more graciously) Vermont's own Heady Topper beers! We stayed on the first floor, which is not normally open to guests. Every detail at the Inn was divine : gorgeous furniture, original woodwork, little curios and knickknacks, and old-world charm. Our room even boasted an en-suite bathroom - an added perk as the bathrooms are usually separate. In the rooms, a lovely vintage card catalog lists anything you need for an overnight stay but may have forgotten, such as toothpaste, shampoo, and so on. Complimentary tea, coffee, and snacks. Amazing breakfast in the morning. Everything was perfect. I look forward to returning to the Made Inn. Thank you Linda for an amazing stay!

I stayed at the Made Inn for the weekend with my boyfriend for our anniversary, and we don't have a single complaint! Linda is amazing and has seriously thought of everything her guests could ever need down to the last detail, before you even ask. We walked in the door after a long drive to complementary Heady Toppers and knew we were in the right place. We stayed in room 903, which is supposedly "the small one" but it was perfect for us. It's definitely bigger than the pictures make it out to be, and it had all of the amenities - tv, dvd player, record player with tons of records, and the most comfortable bed EVER. There were guitars laying around the house that Linda encourages her guests to play, which I'll say was absolutely my boyfriends favorite part. The house itself has tons of other things to look at and explore, I really think I could stay there for weeks and never get bored! As for the food, it was fantastic. Creme brulee french toast is the most delicious (and probably highest calorie) food I think I've ever been exposed to. The second morning we were treated to eggs benedict, and both days there was an array of fruits, granolas, yogurts and juices available as well. Coffee and tea are also available 24/7, and candy! I hope I thought of everything, but I mean it when I say there was not one complaint about our weekend and that can definitely be attributed to the Made Inn and Linda's service. We will absolutely be back next year!!!

Great place to stay! We really enjoyed our weekend here. Inn Keeper was hilarious but more importantly her inn and beautiful. Lots of small details. Really nice breakfasts. Worth the expense!

I stayed here with my boyfriend for 3 nights and the experience was nothing short of PERFECT! The Inn Keeper, Linda, is a fabulous host. She is very knowledgable about the area, provides great recommendations, and also cooks up AWESOME breakfast! Linda keeps a great supply of food, candy, and local goodies at all times :) We stayed in room 905, which is spacious and cozy. The beds are also like heaven!! Last but not least, the hot tub is a great addition to the experience. Highly recommend Made Inn!

Ahhhh what is there to say about Linda and her lovely inn...it's FANTASTIC! It is certainly not suited for conservative types. This is for laid back, free spirited folk who won't blush at hearing about sex, drugs and rock and roll. The living room was cozy and my boyfriend and I enjoyed grabbing a drink from the kitchen and reading the paper at night in our robes provided by Linda. The location was great...so close to town. We would've walked everywhere except we happened to be there when the windchill hit -40. Linda and her staff were great, amusing and welcoming. I hope to be able to return. And let me not forget about the true star, cutie Katie the cat. The cutest little fluff ball around.

Amazing, delightful experience from arrival to reluctant departure! The people - charming, kind, genuinely care about your comfort and needs. The home - gorgeous, eclectic, exciting, surprising, warm and welcoming. The food - YUMMY!! Generous, never ends if you are so inclined! My husband and I never stay at B&Bs...we usually prefer contemporary, modern, hip hotels. However, this is the coolest mix of old and new we've ever encountered. Linda and her sweet staff made us feel more than welcomed - we felt like we'd come to spend the weekend with our best friend, who just happens to dote on us, and is an amazing chef! Every detail has been considered and well-met with a dose of humor and true concern for the guest's comfort and fun! We can't wait to return!

We stayed here for 2 nights and wish it was longer. Our room was 903 which is the smallest (most cozy) room in this Inn and everything was wonderful. Our Inn keeper was charming and helpful. She generously offered us local booze and our room was stocked with delicious local snacks. There were old records and player in our room and games, movies, and music instruments throughout. The Decor was unique, hip, and fun. Bed was insanely comfortable, and breakfast was delicious. They catered to our special diet and we got to hang out with an adorable cat. Overall this place exceeded all expectations and I hope to come back!

Made Inn Vermont is awesome! Don't be scared away when you first walk up and it's not what you expect. We drove by the place twice before we realized where it was because there is no obvious signage, but you'll notice a small banner hanging from the porch if you look closely. You'll park in the side driveway but will need to enter from the front. Also don't panic when you get to the front door and aren't sure how to get in. No one responded to the doorbell and the phone number by the door only went to a busy signal, but we finally got an answer when we knocked. Also don't panic when you first meet Linda. She is as unique as the B&B itself, and the place and Linda can seem a little overwhelming at first. I say don't panic at all of these things, because if you keep an open mind and make it through the tour, you will have an amazing time!!! Linda is awesome, very attentive but also gives you your space. She gave us great recommendations on places to eat, and the rooms themselves were super cool and comfortable. Just enough space for everything you'd need. She also had the fridge stocked with REALLY good beers, even a really hard to find IPA, as well as a bunch of fun snacks which came in handy after a night out. And perhaps the best part was the breakfast! The breakfast special (a quiche made with real Vermont cheese) was the best quiche I've ever had, and I come from a long line of quiche makers. The Bellini and Mimosas were delicious as we enjoyed breakfast from the front porch. Linda also made the best coffee I had on my entire road trip of the northeast. I can't say enough about what a great time we had at Made Inn Vermont. We will definitely be visiting again, hopefully in the fall, and we'll definitely be staying with Linda!

In short, stayed two nights, parts of three days and loved it! Top 5 Reasons to Stay at Made INN Vermont: 1. Linda's hospitality (I will also add warmth and generosity) and Tracy's too 2. Facilities and location are perfect to everything in Burlington (walked to all) 3. The snacks and unlimited wine and beer (the Heady Topper was beyond terrific) 4. The breakfasts were delicious and their coffee is the best in Burlington 5. It is a different inn experience and a wonderful one that we will never forget.... We will be back soon!

My husband and I have been visiting The Made Inn since 2015. Each time we go I am always delighted as soon as we walk in the door. Linda remembers us and always makes us feel at home. We have tried a few different rooms and like them all. The rooms are clean cozy and delightful the entire inn is just decadent! From the old fashion yet modern bathrooms, the fun lights under the bed. Its a wonderfully romantic Inn , charming and cozy. We even brought my mom a couple years ago for a Christmas gift and she loved it. The gorgeous views of lake Champlain and downtown Burlington are seen from nearly every room! We have never wanted for anything at the Made Inn. We love to sneak downstairs late at night and enjoy the hot tub on the private terrace just off the dining room. Treats ranging from healthy to decadent are downstairs in the dining room along with a variety of drinks. The coffee is to die for! Breakfast is included in your stay and it rivals anything else you can find it town. We enjoyed sleeping in waking up to the smell of breakfast and coffee enjoying some conversation with Linda Park your car out front and never worry about moving it again while your there, the walk downtown is easy and quick although you might find yourself not even wanting to leave the inn! Decadence !!

It's difficult to adequately describe our experience at the eclectic Made Inn Vermont and her innkeeper, Linda. We decided to travel to Burlington at the last minute when we called Linda to ask about availability. She only had the smallest room available so we grabbed it. The room was comfortable with very hip, chic and cute design touches including a basket of snacks and water as well as a mini fridge with the local trendy beer, Heady Topper. The breakfasts are delicious! I regret that I did not take advantage of the Creme Brûlée French Toast on the our first morning at MIV. But I learned from my mistake and enjoyed the Coconut Pancake (photo included) along with Linda's "handcrafted" maple bacon. Still dreaming about the bacon. Yum! Linda truly is a generous host; she wants your stay to be comfortable and will help with anything she can. We found her to be extremely accessible for our needs whether it be for a restaurant recommendation or extra soap. The array of snacks and drinks out on a self service basis 24/7 is very convenient and a lovely touch. As mentioned on the Etiquette page of the MIV website, Linda has opinions and is not afraid to share them. She will agree to disagree and will always be friends when you part ways. At the end of the day, she does her job well, provides good service and excels at her profession. We enjoyed out stay thoroughly. Thank you Linda!

Selfishly I almost did not write this review, reasoning that since the nightmare was over why relive it. A friend convinced me to though reminding me that I could save others from making the same mistake. I wish I had gone with my gut instinct as Pamela F here did and decided not to come. In the end I ignored my senses thinking "the pictures look nice, reviews are good and how bad can it be for $350 per night? BAD I discovered. I have traveled quite a bit and can say that this was the most uncomfortable experience I have ever had staying away from home (and one of the most expensive, not just in terms of money but the energy it costs to constantly be around the owner). The owner seemed under the influence of wine or some other mind altering substance when we arrived - speaking loudly and getting very close to us, her pajamas half open exposing almost everything. We had traveled all day and just wanted peace and quiet and be shown to our room. Nope - she'll demand your attention and show you to your room when she is ready. It is her house with a room your staying in - not a typical Bed and B where a guests' needs are considered. Her office is in the middle of the ground floor so there is no avoiding her and she'll yell to you as soon as she sees you so don't think you can sneak out the front door and avoid "the Lynda show". The first night I barely slept as I was so freaked out. The itching didn't help... As soon as we went to bed I started feeling itchy and then occasional tiny bites! I thought "for Gods sake please tell me these are not bed bugs". In the end I believe they were just dust mites as I had no red sores but give me a break. Perhaps it is because her stuff is everywhere in the room. How can anyone properly dust a space filled with junk? I am STILL itching. I will post some photos that truly represent the space but it cannot give you the experience of discomfort we experienced in constantly being in the presence of the narcissistic owner.

My partner of 10 years and I found Made INN Vermont on a major site that highlights "gay owned" or "gay friendly" (Made INN Vermont listed itself as the latter) accommodations for the LGBT traveler. It looked great and when you dug into it there were "10 Best" type endorsements from major media outlets. We decided to make it our base of operations for the second four nights of our 8-day summer vacation that began in Maine. Made INN Vermont was the most expensive option of our entire trip (by far - we spent more than $1500 on four nights' accommodations) but we wanted a premium experience on this year's trip to help us get away from the stress of our jobs, and frankly the stress of the country's political scene - we needed a break! How sad then that the last comment my partner made as we drove away from Made INN Vermont was "this was probably the worst vacation ever." I asked why and he said "because of that," pointing at the Made INN Vermont B&B. It started off great - eclectic place, quirky Owner/Innkeeper Linda Wolf, a great first night's sleep in a wonderful room (we took the coolest room / most expensive option within the Inn), and a really good breakfast on our first morning. In all honesty, I was already raving about the place to friends that morning. But around 1 o'clock that day, after returning from a boat ride on Lake Champlain, the Innkeeper came out of her office as we got back and in the flow of the short conversation announced she voted for Trump and "completely supports" him. It was shortly after that comment that "Bill and Jim" (not our real names) became "you gays" - as in "you gays have taken a few hits this week." That was followed by a chuckle. If you play the substitution game that could just as easily have been "you Blacks" or "you Jews." Calling us "you gays" was not cool and Linda Wolf the Owner/Innkeeper said right then she felt "a change of energy between us." She wasn't wrong, but she didn't stop. When we returned from dinner I was called out to as I got near the top of the stairs to go the bedroom floor with "I'm a proud Trumper! Don't be afraid." I was hardly "afraid" but at what point did that comment become either a taunt or outright harassment of me as a guest, since by that point the Innkeeper knew without question I was not a Trump supporter. The following day another politically-tinged "call out" was verbally hurled at us from behind as we were leaving for the day, more than halfway down the front walkway heading to our car to visit friends in Montpelier. At that point I spun around to explain to the Innkeeper why two guys with highly stressful jobs might choose Maine and Vermont as their summer destinations: to get away from the everyday stresses of life, NOT to talk politics. She was clearly showing us no regard, no respect and was clearly out to antagonize us. Only later that day when we were driving did I receive an email saying "I so apologize. You have strong feelings, and I don't even know what they are, but certainly, I would only want you to be comfortable..." That's verbatim and the note goes on. How sweet that after two days of throwing her politics at us she wanted us to be "comfortable." That would fall under the heading of "hospitality," but that was not where our experience was found. We were completely UNcomfortable as I stated in my first complaint about the experience, written on the second morning to the site where I first found Made INN Vermont listed. We were so uncomfortable that day we tried to get a room at another B&B we had stayed at a couple of years earlier, but of course, short notice, no rooms. So we stayed the third night but finally the next day we threw in the towel, loaded the car and made the seven-hour drive home a day early, leaving our fourth day and night unused. Made INN Vermont was a hideous experience for us that took the joy right out of our summer vacation. What a shame Owner/Innkeeper Linda Wolf can't separate her politics from her guests' experience. Our recommendation is to look at other options. There are more than a few nice ones.

Our stay was wonderful. While we have stayed in many great places, the little touches that Linda put into making this stay very comfortable are almost too many to count. There was stuff EVERYWHERE; the walls were chalked in our bedroom and people wrote all sorts of wonderful expressions. There was an itsy bitsy flowering plant beside our bed. There was dental floss in the bathroom plus dry shampoo and a rubber ducky. I was a bit nervous about the bathrooms down the hall but it turned out to not be a big deal. When we first got there I asked TJ where we could do laundry and he said he would do it. Really? Had it back lickity split! Breakfast was delicious. Mimosas were offered. Fresh fruit. Eclectic assortment of jams and spreads. If you need a recommendation for something Linda has the answer. Thank you Linda and TJ

I'm sure I sound like everyone else for the raving review I am about to write. The Made Inn Vermont B&B is an incredible place to stay. When my girlfriend and I arrived there we were exhausted and slightly disheartened by the amount of horrific weather we experienced on our drive up. The minute we stepped out of the car, Linda (the inn keeper) was waiting at the door to take our bags. Immediately she offered us heady toppers (arguably one of the best beers), hand-squeezed orange juice mimosas or some of her sangria. We opted for the beer (it's not ever day someone offers you a free world-renowned beer!) and headed up to our room. The room was so awesome - there were neon lights underneath, one of the halls was a chalkboard and there were electric guitars and snacks (plus a fridge filled with juice and MORE beer). We put our stuff down, cracked our beers and were given a list of excellent places to eat just a hop, skip and jump away from the inn. The next morning our breakfast was made by an incredible woman (I feel so badly that never got her name). Linda brought us countless mimosas *all free of charge* and sat and chatted with us the entire time. We really felt special, and you could tell she was actually interested in getting to know us. Bottom line: If you're someone who values community, good food and hospitality this is the place for you. Linda has created an environment that is inclusive and communal: you will talk to the people staying there and most likely eat with them. Linda will quickly become someone you're spilling your secrets do and you'll forget that you've paid to be there. it honestly feels like a steal for the amount you get. My only regret is not getting Linda's personal cellphone number so I could continue to gab with her! She is SO fun! this place is PERFECT for anyone that likes people, art, food and drinking. I will be coming back in the spring! I cannot wait! Thank you, Linda!!!!

The Made Inn is perfect and after a single stay last weekend, it has quickly become one of my favorite places I've ever stayed. Where to begin? My fiancee and I were both new to the bed & breakfast experience and weren't sure what to expect. As we're both kind of shy, we didn't know if staying in a b&b with it's more intimate setting would be sort of awkward with other guests and/or host. Well, let me get this outta the way, at the Made Inn, it couldn't be less awkward and that is 100% a credit to Linda, the owner/designer. When we pulled up the long and narrow driveway, we were so warmly greeted by Linda who was busy buzzing around, tidying up, and getting ready for that night's new arrivals. Immediately, I was impressed and charmed by this place. The house is a beautiful Victorian, with impeccable landscaping, a great front farmer's porch and lovely back patio. I was way into it before we even stepped inside. We got the car parked, and once inside met with Linda to receive the grand tour. Right away, I felt at home. I grew up the son of a designer, so my family bought and refurbished several old homes as a kid, including a grand Victorian, a lot like the Made Inn. It was simply gorgeous. Beautiful classic woodwork, high ceilings, and humongous doorways opened to each room on the first floor, but what put it over the top was Linda's style and interior design. She is able to mix modern design elements with a classic space and her touch of whimsy makes for a truly enchanting experience. There are musical instruments in nearly every room, which are encouraged to be played (I can't), and classic and vintage board games are tucked away in different pockets of the home. There are adorable little tsotchkes that compliment the design as well, from ukuleles, to super-hip books, magazines, and Heady Topper flower vases (if you don't know about Heady Topper and are in VT, do some research). None of it seems tacky or forced, but expertly curated and fun and interesting. Anyway, we were led to the kitchen which was beautiful as well, with white tiles, loads of refreshments, and a vintage card catalog with everything you might need but may have forgotten on your trip such as band aids, toothpaste, etc. Linda insists that you come down to the kitchen as often as you'd like to help yourself to coffee or tea or anything else you'd like. From there, the kitchen leads to the back deck and patio area, complete with the hot tub, which again, she insisted we use. It is private and closed in with shrubbery that is lit with white lights at night. Just great. We then were shown our room, with chalkboard walls to write on and more fun stuff we were encouraged to explore. The bed was soooo comfortable, too. Cloud like. The bathrooms are not en suite, but that didn't bother me at all. Every guest still gets their own bathroom and ours had white subway tiles and a claw foot tub and shower. It was terrific. Our last stop on Linda's tour was the Widow's Walk on the top level. Wow. A private little cupola with 360 degree views of Vermont and Lake Champlain? Are you kidding me? She mentioned that it was a great place to see the sunset, and I don't doubt it was, but I'm kicking myself for not going up to see it. As we were getting unpacked, Linda gave a gentle knock and offered us margaritas or sangria and of course we indulged. A couple minutes later and we had our margaritas and the rest of the night to ourselves. We went out for dinner, but opted out of poking around Burlington any further that night because we were dying to get back to the Inn. The following morning, our shyness kicked back in, if only a little bit. Would we be eating communally with strangers? Nope, and again, Linda took care of that. She warmly greeted us and showed us the morning's menu which looked delicious. An omelet with three-year aged vermont cheddar and asparagus, local maple bacon, hash browns, and/or curant french toast with nuts? While we were trying to decide, Linda just insisted we'd get it all and offered us a few private places to eat. We chose the front porch and it was just. so. perfect. She brought us fresh-squeezed juice and that day's New York Times and I never wanted to leave. My fiancee and I have already discussed making it a regular visit. After all this said, I still don't think words can do the Made Inn justice. It's just that unique and terrific.

3.5 stars, really. This is a nice place to stay and we had a lot of fun exploring Burlington from this B&B. However, our expectations were set by all the 5 star ratings on all the various websites, and it did not live up to that. When I set my 5-star expectation, I am thinking of other B&Bs. I am not trying to compare it to the Ritz or anything... the breakdown: Liked: The house was gorgeous! Beautifully restored and very clean. The bedding and rooms are very nice and provides for a very comfortable sleep. The location is great for exploring downtown Burlington as well as the surrounding colleges. There are plenty of snacks to be had and coffee/tea/etc is available all the time. The widow's walk had an amazing view and the hostess was kind enough to bring us tea to watch the sunset. The decor was funky and comfortable (sometimes bordering on cluttered, but I'm a minimalist). Needs improvement: I found the hostess to be very nice and friendly, but a bit overbearing. Several times I went downstairs to make a cup of coffee or tea at off-hour times and she would pop out to talk about this or that. I appreciate the friendliness, but sometimes it is nice to be left alone to explore. I also appreciate that the breakfast was organic, but I did not find it very amazing which is what I would expect from a 5-star B&B. Things are said to be cooked-to-order, but we were clearly served a frittata from the day before that was warmed (yet cold in the middle). Both breakfast meals gave me the "I can cook a better breakfast at home" feeling. One morning we had to wait 40 minutes for our meal which is quite long even in a made-to-order environment. Perhaps simpler, better recipes are in order. Value: frankly, we thought the room was too expensive. We have stayed in more luxurious B&Bs in New England for cheaper. Things I did not like: Bathrooms are separated from the bedroom. It was not a huge deal, but it was a little bit of a pain to not have a bathroom attached to your room. However, newer couples might find this an asset :) What can you do, it is an old house. I don't mean to put anyone off from staying here. It is a nice place. I just felt a little duped by all the 5-star ratings. It has potential to be very good with some refinement.

This is, by far, my favorite B&B I have been to. To describe it as funky and eclectic doesn't do it justice. It is a fun, adult atmosphere not for the squares of the world. If you want a sleepy, 'vanilla' bed and breakfast, then look elsewhere. If you are looking for a chic and modern setting, intimate and immaculately clean with amenities you're unaccustomed to, then this is the place for you. Tempurpedic mattresses, equipped with an LED light show beneath, record players with a vast selection in each of the rooms, chalk board walls, games, books, lounge areas, down to the stocked fridge of Heady Toppers and organic and GF friendly snacks, the place pays attention to all the small details. The breakfast? Phenomenal. Very friendly to food allergies. Better food than any place in town, trust me. I love locally and we choose this place every time we do a "staycation." Linda, the innkeeper is a personality to be experienced. The woman is a riot, and is very accommodating. The moment you arrive, she hands you a beer or sangria. Not only did she put up with my dog being misbehaved, scratching the paint off the door (as I have never brought her to a hotel before (yes! Dog friendly)), so woke up to give me a spare key at 3am. (Yes, alcohol was involved) All she asked was I leave this review. Can't ask for a better "trip." Pun intended.

Burlington hotels are surprisingly expensive (for a decent one) and even more so when one brings a dog. For a weekend get away we chose the Made Inn Vermont B&B which, while pricey, was on par with other downtown locations if one considers surcharges for dogs and breakfast. However, there ends all similarities to the Hiltons, Marriotts of the city. The Inn is located among the great mansions of Burlington, now mostly owned by Champlain College. Built in the late 1800s it has the detail and charm of the era in its architecture, but the rooms have the unique "funkiness" of an an upscale urban hotel. Dogs are not only allowed, they seem to be encouraged. The owner and staff were more excited about our 4 1/2 month old golden retriever than they were about us (which pleased us mightily). The rooms are not large (no Victorian era bedroom is), but well appointed with free snacks in the refrigerator, WiFi and cable TV. There is a common living room and outside sitting area with a hot tub. Breakfast is as good or better than you will find downtown. The center of the city is short and pleasant walk. If you are visiting Burlington (a wonderful city) and you are traveling with a furry four-legged friend (or not), I highly recommend the Inn. Don't miss going to the "widow's walk" on the roof. Great views of the city and the lake.
