We were on our way to Manchester from Stowe and we passed by this place and we just wanted a cup of coffee but as soon as we went inside the place was so charming and so beautiful and they made their own cakes there was a carrot cake there that was probably about 7 in tall and we bought a slice and split it and it was probably one of the best carrot cakes we ever had in our entire life. I can't wait to go back there and have dinner and or pick up a whole carrot cake to bring back for Thanksgiving. The owners were exceptional and their culinary skills were absolutely incredible. All the other things that I saw in the case looked phenomenal but we just wanted a quick little bite and we were sorry that we didn't buy more slices of the carrot cake that was the beginning of the day. The rest of the day went phenomenal and I will go back hopefully as soon as possible. ❤️🍂🍁

Small town bed and breakfast aka basically you feel like you’ve rented a private house and chef all in one for a steal. We are on a time change and morning one we came downstairs (with 2 kids and a party of 7) expecting to maybe grab a leftover pastry and coffee as we came down as it was closing for breakfast, yet we were served the entire breakfast served to order (with a smile!).
So many board games, fire pits, bar with good wine / cider / beer selection. Ice cream and desserts available too. You need to try the salmon salad for dinner. Chicken pot pie too.
Each morning breakfast is either the special of the day (blueberry waffle, pancakes, Nutella French toast) or eggs/meat/toast. Makes it so easy.
If it’s the summer/ fall, As soon as you get there, turn that AC to cold/high, that would be my only issue is we were a little warm but nothing bad.
They had a pack and play and pullout bed available. Comfy sheets/comforter/ bed. The towels were good. Hair dryer available too.
Family owned and run with the sweetest people. So gracious. Flexible and accommodating. Would stay again for sure.
Thank you all for a great trip to see Granny!

We enjoyed our stay very much. Breakfast was fantastic. We will be going back to the restaurant to further enjoy the cuisine. The owner was very personable and we enjoyed talking with her and other guests in the bright breakfast nook. The decor was beautifully and tastefully done with the ambience of a vintage bed and breakfast in quaint vermont.

From the moment we arrived at this Stone Hearth, we were made to feel completely at home. The owner and staff went above and beyond—genuinely friendly, incredibly knowledgeable, and full of local insights that made our visit all the more special. You can tell they truly love what they do, and their passion shines through in every detail.
The property itself is spotless—every room is beautifully maintained and immaculately clean, which made relaxing here effortless. The attention to cleanliness was on par with any high-end hotel, but with all the warmth and character you only get in a B&B.
And the food—wow! Each morning started with a homemade breakfast that was nothing short of exceptional. Fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with love, it was the perfect way to fuel up for the day ahead.
What really sets this place apart is its incredible history. The building is rich with stories, and the owner was eager to share its fascinating past. Walking through the halls felt like stepping back in time, but with all the modern comforts you could ask for.
This was truly one of the most memorable stays we've ever had. If you're looking for a place with heart, history, and hospitality, this is it.

Old inn remodeled. Our room was large and had small tv available as well as small refrigerator. Wonderful breakfast included. Friendly owner informative about area. Restaurant only available on weekends for lunch and dinner. All rooms upstairs. Inn not handicap accessible.

We enjoyed dinner here during our stay in Chester. The food was very generous portions and super tasty! My husband had the sliders and I had flatbread. Perhaps the best meal on our trip! It is family owned and everything made from scratch. It is newly renovated and they did an excellent job! It’s very clean which speaks of their heart for hospitality!! I wish we would’ve stayed there, as I’m sure the rooms would’ve been wonderful!!

Visiting Chester, Vermont and trying to find a place for dinner was rather hard but went to eat here and the food, service and atmosphere was wonderful!

Popped in for ice cream as a little treat-the BEST mint chocolate chip ice cream I have ever had in my life.

Ok, so I loved the old place. Loved the old owners, the food, the weird eclectic vibe, and yes I loved the wings on Sunday nights. Lots of good memories.
It's been a while (4 years) since I've been here I think. I think I've been subconsciously avoiding it. Came here again today (8/3/25) and man I wish I'd been back sooner.
Steak and Ale Pie was awesome. Decent beer and wine selection, desserts were awesome. Family run, seen like great people. I'll not wait four years between next visit.

We went for lunch and were pleasantly surprised to find out how amazing the food was. We will definitely be back. We had the shrimp tacos which we were unsure about splitting as we normally do when eating out, so we each got our own. We should have split, lol. Anyway they were delicious. When you go, you order and pay at the counter then find a table and seat yourself. Word of caution it is a very old building so the floors are very out of level right when you walk in. Just go, and enjoy yourself!
The Stone Hearth Inn and Eatery is a true family run establishment. The lovingly restored and recently renovated Inn is very comfortable and welcoming.
Vicky the proprietor and host is warm and lovely and wants every first to feel right at home, encouraging us to use the house like you would your own home. There is a sitting room and library/games room, breakfast room and the eatery which opens in the late afternoon for dinner is rib by her two adult kids and her son in law. They are classically trained chefs and the excellent locally sources food reflects it!
Rooms are comfortable with private bath, fresh towels, small TV, coffee in room
Fresh hot breakfast cubes with the room
The Eatery is a farm to table everything made from scratch delight just downstairs! We had dinner there on both nights of our stay the food was that good.
Highly recommend the Stone Hearth Inn and Eatery 10/10!

Wonderful place to eat. Although I did not stay at the inn, I met some friends for lunch at the eatery. Order at the counter and they serve you at the table. Delicious fresh salad with perfectly cooked Salmon. Big portion. I would come again for the wonderful food.

We went to the eatery and everyone enjoyed their meals! There were eight of us and we did wait quite a bit for our meals because they were pretty busy. Also, know that this is counter service, we sat for a while before we realized. Overall, it was a great time and the prices are very reasonable!! I can't wait to return and try something else.

Excellent! Sliders are generously sized, sauces are excellent, particularly the blue cheese sauce. I got fish&chips and it was a massive fillet of cod served with hand cut french fries. The HALF salad is A WHOLE PLATE HEAPED and is MASSIVE (definitely a two person salad), got the blackberry, fig, and gorgonzola salad with the berry vinaigrette and it is TOP quality, very fancy! Definitely could make a meal of just the HALF salad. Can't imagine the size of a FULL salad: must be absurd! Ordered cake which looks amazing but had to have it (and half of dinner) boxed to bring home as the portions are HUGE. Give me 3 hours to digest and then we'll see about the cake!
Nice ambiance inside. Rustic decor. Table was wonky and would benefit from judicious use of a nail gun to keep the planks from tilting and sliding the ketchup and your drink away from you. 1 screw per plank is not sufficient. Service was slow but there was a large party ahead of us, so not surprising. Food was worth the wait. You order at the counter and they bring the food out to you at your table. Alchoholic drinks are purchased separately at the drink bar.
