Cozy country inn located in Manchester, Vermont. Built by Ira Allen, this is one of the oldest bed and breakfast inns in Vermont and a state historic site.
The Ira Allen House is a cozy country inn in the Battenkill Valley of Southern Vermont. It is one of the oldest Inns in Vermont and a state historic site. The tavern and the bedrooms above are over 200 years old. It was built by Ira Allen (Ethan Allen's brother) who was the Surveyor-General of Vermont. The large hand-hewn beams and the handmade bricks of the fireplace testify to the age and history of the original building. The new part of the inn was added in approximately 1846, with wide-board floors throughout, and some handblown panes of glass still evident.
The inn is located in a four-season resort area. We are 3 miles north of Arlington, and 1 mile south of Manchester, on Historic Route 7A. We are located 1/2 mile south of the famous Mount Equinox Skyline Drive, within easy walking distance of several antique and gift shops.
Our property is right on the Battenkill, New England's finest trout stream, which also makes it convenient for swimming, canoeing, or just plain relaxing.
