First of all, let me say the breakfast and breakfast area was incredible! Food was top-notch and the ladies who served were so sweet and very attentive. Room was very pretty but very dusty. Shower was so small you could barely turn around in it.

MISLEADING PHOTOS!!! We did NOT even stay!! It was dirty, dusty & smelled old & moldy! We informed the woman we could not would not be staying. She told me to call Expedia to cancel, but still took the entire fee. Supposedly I will be refunded half.. NOT ENOUGH. Ruined our Friday night wedfing plans!! ALSO.. BEWARE.. we were booked into a 3rd floor room (I cannot do stairs)

The owner and dining staff were so friendly and the breakfasts were delicious. The property is located across from a little town common with benches to enjoy the weather and quiet, and there are a couple restaurants and shops within walking distance. The property itself is lovely with so many beautiful details of yesteryear.

We are playing travel basketball and another team member’s parents were not able to attend so the kid rode with us. Booked a room for 3 figured he could sleep on the floor. When we arrived to check in, lady was rude saying she could not house another person in the room because it was against fire code. Also she wasn’t aware we had 3 people. The booking was for 2. So she made us purchase another room for $110. The breakfast was outstanding the next morning though.

We had a wonderful stay at the Marble Mansion Inn! We came for the weekend as we were skiing at Killington - it is about a 45-50 minute drive to the mountain, but if you don't mind not being on the first chair, it's definitely worth it. The whole place is beautifully decorated and cozy, and they will provide you with logs at a nominal cost for a fire in your room in the evening (we stayed in the Jane Austen room, which had its own fireplace). The place is historic, so some amenities like the shower, TV, etc., are nothing to write home about, but everything was very clean and functional. And we had no issues with staying warm even though it was below zero outside at night. We had a great time chatting with Greg about the history of the house, and he and Sharon were so accommodating (especially when we had to arrive late for check in because of a snowstorm). They serve delicious homemade breakfast for you at the exact time you ask for it in the morning, so that you can get in a good meal before you hit the slopes. And having their two cats around in the morning was an extra special treat!

Thank you very much for the kind words. We try to have a different breakfast menu each morning for people who stay longer than one night. Remind us what you had the next time you come and we will try to ensure you get to sample more of Sharon's culinary delights!

The construction was very interesting. The owner quite knowledgeable about the house and surroundings. Beautiful setting and walking distance to most of town, shops and dining. Some areas are still under restoration but the weathering of 150-plus years is interesting to see. The detail of design requires expertise that is difficult to find today. So it adds to the depth of appreciation for the skills of the workers of 1867.

Wonderful
This 19th century mansion was amazing. The rooms and common areas were furnished with antiques. Our room had a recessed bookcase and window seat. The breakfast was excellent—especially the maple bacon. One warning—since this is a very old house, there is no elevator and the flights of stairs are unusually long. We lugged our luggage up 2 flights. Our only disappointment was the cleanliness—the tiled floor was dirty.

We liked the setting, which was right in the center of town. The ornate high ceilings were beautiful. Our room on the second floor was decorated expertly, giving us a 19th century experience, but with modern convenience. The breakfast was one of the best we have known, after many years of travel. We especially liked the maple syrup fried bacon. Our stay was too short.

Negatives: The driveway needs repair. Drive slowly so you don't scrape the airfoil under your front bumper, if you have an airfoil and a low clearance chassis. The Marble Mansion Inn notes that there is NO elevator. Take this notice seriously if, like I, you need knee replacements. The staircase to our 2nd floor room, The Shakespeare Room, was long and narrow. The bathroom in our room, could be pretty challenging for someone larger than I am... 214 pounds. If you have issues, make sure you ask for a room on the first floor. It was MY fault that I didn't absorb the no elevator notice! Positives: It's a beautiful property. Our room was very charming. The bed was sensationally comfortable! Greg the innkeeper is nice, accommodating and and interesting to talk too. The breakfast was THE BEST of our four stays on this trip!

Lovely Manor with old world charm
Great historic inn once a family manor. Unique in its setting and facing a quaint large well manicured park, the inn itself appears to be the highlight of the town. Comfortable rooms with old world charm. The breakfast was a highlight with a varied menu for the two days we were there. Houses of this kind require significant upkeep and I was pleased to see attention being paid to the exterior. Chelsea and Sharon attended to our needs well and we would highly recommend this to anyone making a trip to this lovely part of the US. Easy transit to Ticonderoga, Whitehall, Killington and the variety of small farm towns that dot the landscape.

Very Pleased with Our Stay at the Marble Mansion
One of the few places we have stayed where we were genuinely looking forward to returning after our daily road trips to see some of the local scenery and historic sites, including Fort Ticonderoga. In a word, staying at the Marble Mansion Inn was "fun". Very comfortable with engaging host Greg and his wife always willing to provide useful information about the area, and a first class breakfast experience we will miss (the fresh baked scones, maple bacon and out-of-this-world egg dishes). We very much felt like were special guests of this historical establishment. Especially we will miss our highly interesting conversations with Greg about all manner of subjects, his good humor, and the worldly experiences he shared.

So we check in a little early, which was awesome that they allowed us to do that. We get in our room, drop a bag, and leave. I made SURE to put the do not disturb on our door. We got home and people had been in our room. They took it upon themselves to open up the couch bed, which was nice yes, but when you are used to hotels, it freaks me out that they were in there unannounced, especially when I put the do not disturb sign on the door. In the morning we signed up for an 830am breakfast. There was a menu in the room so we were all ready for waffles and vermont syrup. We walk downstairs and just stand there, not knowing where to go or what to do, as it was our first time there. We get told to sit down and that we are the only table of 3, so to just go to the table for 3. We do that, and food starts coming out. No one told us it was chefs choice. Now the food was GREAT yes, but it was a little confusing. The innkeeper was doing it all herself, she was short staffed and seemed very overwhelmed. We felt like a burden. I wasn't even able to check out properly I just left my key on a table. Which is fine, it just felt weird because I am used to having printed out proof etc...... we heard weird footsteps in the night as well, very very weird vibes. It was clean, yes it was a place to crash. But the experience felt weird. Other guests were so so nice though!!! I would give it 3-4 stars out of 5. :) I do feel bad that the innkeeper was short staffed.

Everything was fantastic. As an essential worker with an overnight stay need I thought this would be a neat option and was rewarded with a beautiful historic facility, warm and welcoming hosts who even called in a dinner reservation for me. The room was very clean with all the modern amenities, beautifully decorated and a suoer comfy bed made for a relaxing stay. Looking forward to breakfast! I would absolutely recommend this choice.

The Inn is historic, charming and spotlessly clean. The mansion faces a quiet village green, and we enjoyed a restful night on an extremely comfortable bed. Breakfast was amazing, and really more than we could possibly eat. Nearby sites like Lake George and Fort Ticonderoga are easy drives from the Inn. We definitely hope to return.
