Frommer's Review
The oldest part of the striking Inn at Ormsby Hill dates to 1764 (the revolutionary Ethan Allen is rumored to have hidden out here). Today, it's a harmonious medley of eras and styles, with inspiring views of the Green Mountains. Free cookies baked by the owner/chef welcome all guests, who then enjoy those cookies (and those views). Delicious, truly gourmet breakfasts are served in a dining room that was built by prominent 19th-century attorney Edward Isham to resemble the interior of a steamship. Each of the inn's rooms has a two-person Jacuzzi and a fireplace. Among the best units: the Taft Room, with its vaulted wood ceiling, and a first-floor library, where many of Isham's books still line the shelves.

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.
Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.
The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
