The childhood home of patriots Ira and Ethan Allen enfolds guests in our country's founding rebels' acts of courage against seemingly insurmountable powers. A good place to be reminded of our obligation to fight and resist the elites' insanity.

The Ira Allen House is an authetic traditional vintage house. It is clean & the rooms are comfortable. The owner, Mike is a great host & the breakfast is very good. If your looking for a high end hotel with all the bells & whistles, this is not your place. If you want a historic home rich in history and authentic Vermont, then you will enjoy your stay.

We had a lovely stay at the Ira Allen House. Breakfast was hot and delicious and Mike accommodated our gluten free needs from fresh pancakes to homemade cookies. We will definitely be coming back on our next trip to Vermont.
