The Hartness House

What a gem! This property was amazing, we stayed in two rooms both well equipped and perfectly styled. It felt like a boutique hotel. My teenagers all stayed in a room together with a trundle bed and two queens. The dresser had fun board games and cards and lots of books in the built in. My husband and I were across the hall in a smaller room that looked like it came out of a magazine. We were in the back portion, but had full access to the mansion - complete with music, water, coffee and pastries. It was stunning and had plenty of space for us to play cards together. My kids got a kick out of the fact that the house was the home of Helen Hartness Flanders - as Springfield was recognized as the official home of the Simpsons. The town looked cute, and we searched for places to eat and there were some good options. We ended up in the next town over at Outer Limits Brewery since we are always up for finding new beers.

Fantastic historic house in downtown Springfield, VT. A wonderful place to spend an evening or the weekend. Close to state parks, great restaurants, and kayaking. Wonderful place for a getaway.

What a beautiful place! A quick move back in time to some really lovely spaces. The coffee and pastries were excellent and so appreciated, and the room and bed were delightful We really enjoyed our weekend away.

So be aware, YOU ARE PROBABLY NOT SLEEPING IN THE BEAUTIFUL MANSION. There is long ugly gray motel in the back, where the rooms actually are. Our host was lovely on check in & I kinda feel bad for this tepid review but as our friend said "this place has all the charm of a upscale Motel 6". Our room was clean & ok for a nights sleep though & the price was right for us. Room 24's bed had the DREADED "constantly roll into the middle of the mattress" SWALE in it, our friends said, so maybe they could replace that. The motel connects to the mansion & your are kindly told you can come, "check it out at night & in the morning there is continental breakfast & coffee" here. I actually wish they opened the beautiful bar on the weekend so we could have sat there & had a drink instead of going back to the Motel 6. Anyway, it was fine, but not exactly what we expected.
