Deer Brook Inn

Bed and Breakfast

My fiance and I stayed at the Deer Brook Inn this past weekend, and already have plans to go back. Upon walking up to the front door, the owner Phil welcomes you, and gives you the 'grand tour'. Within spending 5 minutes with him, you truly feel like you have known him for 20 years and are a guest in his home. He really has thought of every, and I mean every detail. From the decor, bottled waters, happy hour, outdoor lawn games, and breakfast, everything is made to make you comfortable. You can really tell he has 25 years of hospitality experience! The breakfast is simply out of this world. We had incredible peaches and cream brioche french toast! My fiance and I have stayed in 5 star hotels all over the world, and I have never been treated this well in any of them. We can not wait to go back.

This is a spectacular inn! The innkeeper is affable, and displays a genuine enjoyment of people as well as an attention to the smallest detail (like an array of pillow firmness options) to make guests comfortable. The house and our room were tastefully and comfortably decorated A phenomenal value.

Phil and his partner Win were talented and gracious hosts. We look forward to seeing them when they visit Lynne and I in norfolk.

Had an amazing stay at Deer Brook inn! The only thing more charming than the accommodations is the inn keeper, Phil! He made our stay extra special and the complimentary breakfast was delicious.

My partner and I are usually extremely organized planners — trips are booked months in advance, with itineraries mapped out and restaurants booked. So it was very uncharacteristic of us to plan a Memorial Day Weekend getaway to Vermont (from NYC) only one week beforehand. Boy, did we luck out by picking Deer Brook Inn! We arrived late on a Friday evening. We kept Phil, the innkeeper, informed of our progress — he couldn't have been nicer and more accommodating of our late arrival, and greeted us warmly and enthusiastically. We headed right to bed, as we were exhausted from our long drive! We awoke to the next day to an amazing breakfast — a beautiful parfait, a perfectly risen egg souffle, and some delectable sides… all made with fresh, local ingredients. I can't stress enough how good this breakfast was, and it was the first of three fantastic breakfasts. Phil adds a certain Southern flair to his breakfasts, and while my waistline wasn't thankful, my palate certainly was. Ricotta-filled French Toast with lemon curd? Yes, please! Phil and Giselle really are culinary masters The pictures and reviews don't do the breakfasts justice! Phil sat with us on the first morning of our stay and gave us some ideas for things to do in the area. We had come to Vermont with the idea that we would do lots of excursions — Stowe, Burlington, Ben & Jerry's, etc. Etc… and chose Woodstock partially because it's pretty centrally located from all of the Vermont touristy spots.

Fantastic bed and breakfast. Phil is the most lovely host and cooked absolutely superb breakfasts for us. They are the most accommodating people and gave us lots of local places to look at.

Lovely inn, gracious hosts and wonderful breakfasts. Well appointed, clean and comfortable rooms.

Just one word says it all 'awesome'!

From the moment you walk in you are warmly greeted by Reba and Phil. This is my first B and B experience, and I am just overwhelmed by the attention to detail and customer service. Other B and B's will have some large shoes to fill to even compete with the Deerbrook Inn. BEAUTIFUL accommodations, stunning gardens, delicious food, and gracious hosts! Can't wait to return to the Deerbrook Inn in Vermont! Kris/Rudy Yorba Linda, Ca.

My husband and I stayed for 3 nights the week of July 4th. It was just wonderful! Phil and his cousin Reba were so welcoming and helpful. The inn and grounds are lovely. Our room was beautiful and oh so comfortable. Fluffy towels, excellent temperature control, and a pillow menu! The breakfasts were the best we have ever had! And, they graciously accommodated my gluten-free needs. Phil's thoughtfulness to provide suggested driving routes assured that we didn't miss any of the interesting places nearby. In fact, there is so much to see, we'll have to visit again. Thank you for a wonderful time!

If you are in Vermont and happen to be close to Woodstock, staying at this Inn is highly recommended. One cannot go wrong! My wife and I stayed here for 3 nights during the 4th July weekend. Right from the moment you enter this place you will be like at home. Phil and Reba (Inn keepers) are such amazing people that you will always feel loved and happy. Along with their boundless energy and smiles, they make sure every detail is taken care of and guests have the perfect vacation. The Inn and rooms have been innovatively designed with perfect blend of vintage touch and modern layout which makes everything open and close to nature. The breakfasts are absolutely delicious with fresh ingredients that are locally grown and most of them straight from the Inn's garden. The atmosphere is so wonderful that you will not even realise when you started having a great conversation with other guests at the Inn. This place will always continue to be a 5 star because you know (apart from everything else) its in the perfectly right hands. Thank you Phil and Reba. You guys create awesome memories.

The saying, "Come as a stranger, leave as a friend, " couldn't be more accurate for Deer Brook Inn. This place has undergone an inspired and near-miraculous transformation since Phil walked through its doors and began to work his magic. The entire place is clean, comfortable, welcoming, and jaw-dropping in its interior and exterior beauty. However, the heart of Deer Brook isn't in its design, but in its owner and his attention to his guests, their comfort, their lives and their passions. The food is stunningly presented and delicious and the common spaces inviting and thoughtfully arranged. Go no further than Deer Brook when you're looking for a place to stay in the Woodstock area.

Everything at deer brook inn was amazing! The rooms were modern and comfortable and made us feel like we were at home. Phil (the inn keeper) went out of his way to make our stay a unique experience. From suggesting local attractions to making restaurant reservations on our behalf, Phil and the staff of Deer Brook excelled and made us feel like family. The breakfasts, appetizers, and late night snacks were delicious and prepared with care. From extended skiing trips to weekend getaways, Deer Brook inn is a must visit!

Truly a romantic, relaxing, exceptional experience. Our family was greeted by Inn Keeper Phil and also Giselle. So kind and welcoming to us after a long journey. They hosted a happy hour that was so delightful. Phil had many recommendations for dinner which were spot on. After returning, we found an evening snack, still warm. We had the most beautiful room and every detail was thought of (take your pick; every room was uniquely decorated to the hilt). Waking up to a multi-course breakfast was not hard when you smell the baked egg souffle. Upon our return from a long day of skiing at Killington, we were greeted with a roaring fire and another delicious happy hour. Such a gorgeous home and the hospitality was amazing. Phil, you have truly outdone yourself. Best ever!

This was an excellent experience. Phil, the host, went out of his way to provide us with everything we needed: amazing breakfast each morning, late afternoon appetizers and drinks, fresh baked cookies right before bed, plus information about local things to do. The rooms are very comfortable, clean, and well-decorated. I highly recommend this B&B. Side note: As of this writing, Google classifies this place as a "2 star hotel". It is definitely a higher-end establishment than that.

We had a 5 Star weekend at the Deer Brook Inn with Phil and Gisele. The Inn is absolutely beautiful and so well appointed. Phil pays attention to every detail. Our room was very comfortable, we truly felt we were in our own home. Phil is a master chef! We had two incredible breakfast meals. Phil was able to tailor the menu to my diet needs. The location of the Inn is ideal, quiet but close to all the things you want to see and do in Woodstock and locations nearby. Phil was an excellent advisor as to what to see and do while we were in Woodstock. Deer Brook Inn is an exceptional property and so are the Innkeepers!

My husband and I wanted a romantic getaway in, Vermont, New England. We stayed two nights in the Deer Brook Inn. Let's start from the end, we were so sorry we didn't stay more. Our host, Phil, knows his way and had been in the hospitality business for many years. The place is tastefully decorated, with attention to every detail, with art works and special furniture's accessories. It makes you feel if you were in a boutique hotel. Phil prepares breakfasts that are gourmet food. He uses fresh and fine raw materials. We suggest that you ask for Phil's advice regarding drive or foot tours and also restaurants. We followed his advise with great success. Last but not least his right hand, fabulous warm carrying Riba, that was funny, helpful and always there. We highly recommend!

Spacious, clean and well appointed room. Host George was there to greet us at the door and made us feel at home instantly. Gourmet breakfast. Charming, romantic, quiet. Great restaurants nearby. This is now our go to place when in the neighborhood.

Fabulous accomodations, hospitality and breakfast. Room was superb, full of charm, beautifully decorated plus a great, comfortable bed. Five star material! Helen July 9, 10, 2010.

We've stayed at many B&B's over the past years, but few have risen to the heights of personable innkeepers, accommodations and breakfasts as the Deerbrook Inn. George and David are great hosts and David's breakfasts incomparable. Marc and Ethel.
