Waybury Inn

The Waybury Inn has a special place in our heart. My wife and I met while at Middlebury College. We went to the Waybury Inn for the first anniversary of our first date in 1981. And of course we loved watching the Newhart Show. For my wife's 40th Middlebury reunion in 2024 we decided to stay at the Inn. It was wonderful. Beautiful building and very comfortable room. The breakfast was very delicious. All of the staff were very friendly and helpful. We really enjoyed our stay.

I had a Midweek four day stay at the Waybury Inn in Middlebury Vt. The rooms are beautifully appointed,comfortable bed, helpful, and accommodating staff. breakfast is included with a choice of eggs, pancakes, yogurt, fresh fruit, fresh muffins, house, smoked bacon or sausage links. The grounds have beautiful seasonal plantings. There are many outdoor spaces to sit and relax or dine weather permitting. The Waybury Inn is a great alternative to the chain motels.

Our latest visit to the Waybury Inn was our eighth (we think!). Each trip has been most enjoyable including this two-night stay from May 20-22, 2024. We love visiting the Middlebury area and the Waybury Inn so much that we're now trying to go twice a year. We stayed in the Robert Frost room and it was beautiful. The entire inn is well appointed and is quintessential New England. One of the reasons we always visit the Waybury when visiting Vermont is the genuine friendliness of the staff. New owners Haline, Chaz and Tony have learned so much from Tracey and Joe and continue to make the Waybury Inn the loveliest inn in Vermont. Donna and Caroline are warm, welcoming and very helpful to all the guests. This is a superb team ready to welcome you whether you're visiting for a night or a week! We're sorry we didn't meet everyone on our short two night stay. Breakfast is out of this world. We know that dinners are also, but we didn't dine in the inn's restaurant this time. This isn't a hotel - it's an inn. It's a different type of lodging - the best type of lodging! If you're looking for the finest in New England hospitality, look no further than the Waybury Inn.

Had a fantastic stay with wonderfully friendly and accommodating new owners, locals Halina & Chaz Lyons. This charming inn is located about ten minutes outside of downtown Middlebury. Beautifully decorated in a rustic Vermont style and impeccably clean. A hearty gourmet breakfast is included, with multiple menu choices. The Lyons have retained all of the kitchen staff, including Chef Tony, and the food is fabulous. The grounds are delightful, and the common areas are well-appointed and relaxing. Extremely comfortable rooms and beds. We came to fly fish and got lucky catching both brown and rainbow trout across the street from the inn. Given all of the choices in the area, this is your best bet!

This is a beautiful property. The staff and innkeeper are efficient and friendly. Cookies in the room and on the front desk were a nice touch. The breakfast was excellent and the dining room at night was perfect for Valentine's Day. The piano player was outstanding.

Pros: - Very authentic inn. Feels more like being a guest in a house than staying in a hotel. - Great bar and a restaurant - Very friendly staff - Great location if you would like to explore Rikert and Snowbowl or Middlebury. Cons: I didn't mind this at all, but at night, you can hear the people talking in other rooms very clearly, as if there were no walls between rooms. I could very clearly hear the person in the next room snoring. Just in case you are sensitive to this, please be aware.

The uniqueness were no clocks in rooms, no tv in rooms and the atmosphere was relaxing. The things we didn’t like were The day before you check in they hold your whole reservation cost plus an extra $ 200 from which ever account your using, they do not tell you about this when booking… They hold the money till you check out. I brought this up to the front desk and she said they get multiple calls from people complaining the Waybury Inn does this, she also stated people state they are strapped for money due to the Inn not telling people about this an just taking and holding it…Breakfast was not good, pancakes were raw and meat was questionable.

The inn is charming and quirky. It may not be for everyone, but the breakfast was lovely and the room generally comfortable.

This is a gem! The Inn is convenient to Middlebury College and is very quiet. After a long drive, it was so nice to be able to walk downstairs to the pub and have a delicious meal. The room was very comfortable and the breakfasts that came with the stay were delicious. The staff was super friendly. Will definitely stay again when in the area.
