Heart of the Village Bed & Breakfast in Shelburne VT

This is hands down my favorite Bed & Breakfast! The Inn is clean, comfortable and secure. The hosts are warm and friendly but not overly attentive - I find that to be very important at a Bed & Breakfast as you ultimately feel like you are staying in someones home! They provide the perfect amount of attention. Breakfast was stellar and the coffee was fantastic!! Location could not be better- situated perfectly with some really awesome amenities just outside the door or an incredibly short walking/driving distance away. This will absolutely be my go to spot when in the Burlington area from now on. Do not hesitate- this place is a GEM.

Lovely accommodations and gracious hosts. Very convenient to the museum, Shelburne Farms and excellent restaurants. Would definitely stay again if traveling that way. Many thanks to Anatoly for the superb breakfast and engaging conversation.

We had a great three-day stay in Shelburne with so much to do. The inn is walking distance to the amazing Shelburne Museum as well as nice restaurants and shops. The coffee and breakfast all three mornings were among the best we’ve had, and you choose the day ahead — so they buy everything fresh. It’s lovely, clean and comfortable, but not fussy. Rose and Anatoly are fabulous hosts with warm, fun and welcoming personalities. We would definitely go back again!

The Heart of the Village Inn is the best! The rooms and cozy and the beds and pillows are ver comfortable! Anatoly makes the most delicious breakfasts I’ve ever had. Rose and Anatoly are warm and ver welcoming! It was a pleasure to stay there!!

The review we read about the Heart of the Village Inn said that it may soon become our new favorite Bed and Breakfast. It sure is now! Everything was impeccable - starting with the gourmet breakfast to every little detail of room decor. This place feels like home away from home - only better!

This was absolutely the worst experience we've ever had. We actually only spent a total of 10 minutes or less on the property. My husband I are a very well traveled middle aged couple. My husband is a retired vet with Parkinsons. Our friend who lives close to the Inn dropped us off and helped with luggage. We took our shoes off, looked around the room and left. We went to the main building looking for a reception area ( I guess I missed that in the pages of information and rules they send over and over again). Rose came out and said she was having our friends car towed as we didn't give her that information and there was no staff or reception area if something "bad" should happen. The parking lot was completely empty, we actually apologized and said she was just helping with the luggage. We then left and received this text. :Teri and Bill. Read & confirm. Your potentially short visit is off to not such a great start as a couple of things happened that should not have happened. Looks like you didn't read our pre-arrival text message or the reservation agreement. To reiterate: 👉1. Visitors are not permitted. Your friend does not enter either building for any reason. She may pick you up & drop you off in the parking lot. That's it. 👉2. Sharing of your access codes is not allowed. Your friend is not to enter your access codes for you either. 👉3. Your previously issued codes have been deleted. Your new code is **** the last 4 digits of Bill's credit card. Do NOT share it with anyone else again. 👉We will not be able to host you otherwise & you will have to find a different place to stay. After reading this my husband experienced anxiety and no longer felt safe or comfortable staying there. It was clear we weren't wanted. We went back, opened the door to our room ( we did not take our shoes off). grabbed our luggage and left. They are now not only charging us for the 3 nights but an additional $100 cleaning fee for not taking our shoes off. We never used the bathroom, slept in the bed touched anything. Spooky thing is how did she know? They have cameras and mic's every where super, super creepy. We can't understand the 5* reviews..we're shocked by it and wonder if they're all real as many locals told us horror stories. Read their responses to the negative reviews and you'll get a sense. Anywhere is better than here

The Inn is ultra clean and comfortable. My room was great, the bed and linens were superb. Had a leisurely coffee and breakfast in the morning. Breakfast was so yummy and exactly what I wanted. Rose and Anatoly are lovely hosts and I’d come back to stay in a heartbeat.

What a beautiful place to stay. It is comfortable and cosey with each room indivually designed. Rose and Anatoly are wonderful hosts and the breakfasts are just amazing. I highly recommend you stay in this perfect spot, a home away from home!

I had a most enjoyable stay at the Heart of the Village in. The innkeepers are delightful and pay great attention to detail. The room is meticulously appointed and very comfortable. All the updates in the rooms are excellent. Air conditioning is very much appreciated as it was very warm when I was there for part of the time. The breakfast was one of my favorite parts of the day. Very delicious and many things to choose from. I was always greeted very kindly and even though they were busy preparing breakfast, the innkeepers always took the time to speak with me. I would highly recommend this property.
