Waybury Inn

They had no heat on and I had to eat my dinner with my coat on. Another couple asked to move their seating because they were by the windows. Having customers be chilly is penny wise and pound foolish. When you have an expensive night out, creature comforts matter! Food was waaaay too spicy. WE have second thoughts about returning.

You will not find nicer people than Chaz and Halina. Their inn is spotless and well kept, and the customer service is top notch. They went out of their way to show us the Newhart memorabilia and were incredibly gracious and welcoming. We can't thank them enough! This is THE place to stay or eat!

Bob Newhart died on July 18, 2024. Coincidentally we had made reservations for Dinner that evening. Here are the Texas Stephenses pretending to register at the desk which opened the Newhart show for so many episodes; and here is the kindly waiter who served us an unforgettable meal that fine summer evening. Thank You, Waybury Inn!! Carolyn and John Stephens, Milwaukee WI.

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!

It's a cute establishment and the most of the staff were really nice. Our first night we had a reservation (confirmed) when we arrived we were told the kitchen was no longer accepting orders ( the waitress seemed very stressed we felt bad for her) however another lady confirmed we did have a reso and accepted us. The food both times we ate in the attached pub was fabulous!! We actually had alot of laughs with the staff in the pub (the ladies were great!!) Similar to other recent posts - there is no one to greet you for check in-check out - basically an honor system - but very straight forward. We stayed in the top "Bread Loaf" suite - Not sure if anyone knew we were there the whole time lol (not that we needed any cleaning service). The beds and rooms are very cozy, no TV which we didn't mind. HOWEVER - our rooms had an abundance of brown beetles and lady bugs - we caught at least 10 a day - not exactly entertaining. The heat was not on for the majority of the time we were there (4 nights) thankfully we had a heater for one of the rooms and extra blankets. We did call the after hours number with no answer and no call back - seemed odd. The morning breakfast was great and the staff were quite nice as well. Overall we had a good time aside from the beetles and lady bugs however if you need any assistance - there isn't much to be had. I think the Inn is listed for sale so maybe the management is in transition? The Inn has potential and could be a really great place to get away with great food if there was maybe a little more service and less "air bnb" vibe? Bring back Darryl & Darryl for more laughs.

We arrived at the Waybury Inn on Saturday evening 2/10/24. When we arrived, there was no one at the front desk to check us in. We rang the bell several times and walked around to locate someone. When we got to our room; the Green Mountain Room #10, the room was very chilly. The rooms were equipped with 2 radiators, one in the room and one in the bathroom. We asked the bartender in the pub how to operate the radiators. It doesn’t take a “rocket scientist” to figure it out, however, they must have either been broken or the heat was off, as I saw lockboxes on the thermostats throughout the Inn. No matter which way we turned the knob, the radiators were stone cold. There was NO HEAT all night. The bartender at the Pub told us we could request a space heater, however before we realized we weren’t getting any heat, it was too late. Also, a note to those that like to sleep with a television for noise, there was NO TV. We slept until about 6:00 AM still freezing. I took a shower to warm up, even though I was skeptical about having hot water. We had hot water, and the shower pressure was great, however, the tub DID NOT DRAIN. I had to stand in the water, and it was very slow to drain after the water was turned off. We would have liked to stay for the complimentary breakfast which didn’t start until 7:30 AM. We couldn’t wait to get out of there and into our warm car, so we left around 6:30 AM, as we were miserable. I would not recommend staying at this establishment.
