Welcome to Inn Victoria
Our historic bed & breakfast situated on The Green in idyllic Chester, Vermont provides a peaceful escape near Okemo Mountain.
We'd like to thank ALL of our guests for their RAVE reviews on Google & Facebook!
Penny and Dan were outstanding hosts for our New Years Eve murder mystery visit. From the moment we met them they declared that while there we were "family" and they treated us as such.The Room we stayed in (Princess Alice) was clean and comfortable and quite inviting.Both Penny and Dan worked so hard at preparing meals and at facilitating the evening of the murder mystery - and an earlier scavenger hunt.The only negative associated with our visit was that we had to leave! We wanted to stay even longer but we had to return to the "real world".We thoroughly enjoyed our all too short escape and figuring out who the mystery murderer was (for which we received a prize).If you are looking for a lovely escape, Inn Victoria is a place to consider. Dan and Penny are wonderful hosts.Review written by my murder mystery character "Ford Escort". 1/1/23

Great spot about 15 minutes from Okemo ski resort.I came up for three nights after Christmas and really enjoyed my stay. Penny and Dan truly made me feel like family during my time with them. Breakfast every morning was awesome, and the hospitality was second to none. Recommend for anyone looking for a cozy and personal experience in Vermont. Looking forward to returning next year!

Our stay at the Inn Victoria B&B in Chester, VT recently was exceptional. I have stayed at many B&B Inns when making short trip. The experience started with a very warm reception by both owners and Inn Keepers Dan and Penny. The décor and ambiance was fitting to match the house. The room was magical: very spacious and included a warm fireplace with a small sitting area, television, desk, a large bath area for two people including a jacuzzi tube and shower. There was a semi-private deck with another large jacuzzi filled with warm water. The breakfast was delicious starting with warm donuts, followed by a baked fruit dish, and then a complete egg-potatoes- breakfast meat to complete. I would highly recommend for you to consider the B&B if stopping the the Chester, VT area.

Penny's pastries and all other foods were excellent. Dan has an amazing sense of humor and had a lot of concern for our well-being.

Beautiful inn. Dan and Penny are fabulous hosts. The rooms are large and beautifully decorated with antiques. Food was fabulous. We stayed here as part of our Inn to Inn hiking trip. Penny drove by to check on us while we were hiking as a weather storm was approaching. We greatly appreciated and gladly hopped in for a quick drive to our next inn.

Visited after staying on our Vermont Inn to Inn hiking tour. Dan and Penny were great and the room we had at that time was awesome. And Penny gave us two of the giant, yummy cookies for the current hikers when we visited. 😁

Penny and Dan, the owners, are so welcoming and friendly. This was my first B&B stay and I was very pleased. Penny can cook like a pro. It's so delicious and you smell breakfast waking up. The beds and pillows were super comfortable. The sheets were so comfortable that I bought some. This experience was awesome!

Dan and Penny are the best! I felt like I went back in a time machine to the 1800s Victorian era! From the gorgeous and antique decor to the snowy views and the homemade breakfast, I felt like I was at home visiting my parents (and I mean that in a good way). They have an amazing DVD selection and it took me back to blockbuster days. Perfect place to stay for skiing at okemo- quick drive and then would come home to 24/7 hot chocolate, tea , coffee and wine and a hot tub. Would definitely recommend

Epic. Just epic. From the moment we walked in we knew we were home. Emily greeted us after a long day of cycling - Our longest to date actually. The only room left in the area was the queen's attic. It felt like it was because the universe was telling us YOU ARE STAYING HERE! (because it will change your life and remind you how amazing bnbs can be). We were introduced to the Goliath sized tea assortment, the wine trading system, our unique room with roof access, the chocolate chip cookies, the jacuzzi and an environment that cana only be described as care and home. So much attention and heart to detail. When we asked about a local store and food options she said that the local market was open for 20 more minutes and she had a license and a truck before promptly taking my partner to the store. It was so amazing we upgraded to stay in the other only room available - the princess Victoria room for one more night. This was the most elegant and comfortable room I have ever stayed in. The bed was so comfortable I never thought I would leave it. The owners, Penny and Dan, also let us borrow their truck to get pizza the send one night and gave us an update in the town and a peek into their beautiful story over lunch. I grew up in cheater so it was priceless to feel so welcomed home after 23 years. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

Inn Victoria is the most welcoming stay you will experience. It is evident that Dan & Penny truly love their inn, and appreciate the people they service. The Inn is extremely comfortable and clean.

We really enjoyed our stay at Inn Victoria. Dan and Penny are friendly and welcoming. Our room (the Alfred) was spacious and comfortable. The breakfasts were awesome! Coffee and chocolate chip cookies (my weakness) always available in the lobby. My wife enjoyed the tea.The location was great, very short walk to the shops along the main street of Chester.This was our first time staying at an Inn. Our normal vacation is all about the things we see or do. This is our first vacation when I’ll actually miss the place we stayed!!Thanks Dan and Penny for helping to make it a great vacation!

Hosts were super friendly and accommodating. They waited up late for our arrival and made us a lovely breakfast.There is also apparently an “inn walk” where you walk 45 miles and stop at different inns on your journey. Something to ask about it you’re interested.

We came up from NY to ski at Mt. Snow/Okemo and stayed at the Inn Victoria for 2 nights and had a great time. The room we stayed in was very cozy and had nice extras like a free standing tub and an outdoor jacuzzi. Penny cooks a great 3 course breakfast! We loved the wine bar (take a bottle of wine, put one back before you leave) - such a cute idea! Penny and Dan are both so kind and accommodating.Great hospitality, a very comfortable stay and convenient location. We hope to visit again next year!

The sweetest inn! A must stay when in this part of Vermont. Very antiqueish interior. The room we stayed in was perfection. The bed was so comfortable and the fire place made it cozy. Our bathroom was nearly as big as the room! Great water pressure in the shower. Penny and Dan were the best! Very nice, personable, allowing us the freedom to roam about the inn and use the amenities, such as the cute tea pot collection downstairs for brewing tea! And let me not forget the best breakfast ever, apple pound cake, cranberry orange pancakes and a hearty sausage patty on the side. I’ll be visiting Chester real soon, and I will most definitely be staying here. Thank you for a lovely, relaxing stay!

The team at Inn Victoria were very friendly and accommodating in our request to move to a king bedroom and a food allergy. Their social atmosphere before and during meals was very family style and fun. We were able to gather hints and suggestions from another couple who started the Inn to Inn Walking tour before us. We loved the little town of Chester and enjoyed walking around and peaking in some shops. Thanks for the great time!

We came here for the high tea and it was excellent! A large amount of teas were offered and the ones we had were GREAT. My favorite part was the maple pecan scones. The owners were super sweet. 100% recommend!

Grab a cup of coffee...this is a little lengthy. :-)Knowing I love Hallmark Movies, my Fiancé planned a surprise getaway trip to the "Hallmark Movie" town of Chester, Vermont. This was a town full of history, charm, and lovely people, two of those people being a wonderful couple, Dan & Penny, who own and operate the Inn Victoria Bed & Breakfast.We had never stayed at a B&B, so when we pulled into the driveway of the Inn Victoria, I nearly jumped out of the car to see it. It was so beautiful! The lawn was full of lush green trees, the flowers were in full bloom, and the house itself looked like it could reach out and hug you.Dan & Penny came to us sharing big smiles and such a warm welcome. After taking our luggage up, they offered us a glass of wine and gave us a tour of the Inn. It was spectacular! Our room (Princess Alice) had a gorgeous decor with antique furniture, a fireplace, a huge Jacuzzi tub, and a bed so comfortable that you slept like a baby...until you woke up to the scent of Applewood smoked bacon.There were wonderful vintage items all throughout the Inn. I especially enjoyed Penny's lovely and large collection of vintage teapots and teacups, which she would use to graciously serve you tea. I felt like I was in a Jane Austen novel.Gentlemen, if teapots and china are not your "cup of tea," I can assure you that Penny's scrumptious breakfasts and Dan serving you like you are a King, will make you glad to be there.Between the delicious meals, bicycle rides, beautiful surroundings of the Inn, a glass of wine and conversation in the front lawn and the overwhelming warmth of Dan & Penny's hospitality, I can honestly say this was one of the most wonderful experiences ever!Thank you and God bless you Dan & Penny for such a wonderful memory!Tony & Toni

My husband and I booked a room at this wonderful establishment on a whim. I'm always leery about B&Bs because they haven't always been the cleanest places. I cannot express my full pleasure with how clean our room and bathroom were! The staff were incredibly pleasant and friendly. By the time we left, I felt like they were friends. We spent some time with the owners and they're a wonderful couple! The chocolate chip cookies they make fresh? DELICIOUS! LOL! Now when we discuss going back up to VT, we don't even plan on looking for a room anywhere else. This is our place now.

We loved staying at Inn Victoria. Penny is the most gracious host and even woke up before dawn to make sure my daughter had a delicious breakfast before her ski race. The room was gorgeous and luxurious. Penny’s daughter even helped us pack up our car when we left. Highly recommend!!!

We had the absolute best time at Inn Victoria! Dan and Penny are the most amazing hosts! You could not even possibly imagine! We got freshly cooked breakfast, every, single, morning! Everyday, it was a new dish with signature fruit cups that included fresh fruit and local Greek yogurt, orange juice, and coffee. Additionally, since we arrived on Christmas Day, as a last minute booking, we even got a complimentary Christmas dinner!!!The rooms are all decadent, original, and very dainty! Every single room has its own bathroom that is spacious and well functioning, as well as a personal fire place. The entire house is very clean and well kept. Not a single spot had a spec of dust or clutter. Overall, this was the best place we could possibly ask for, for a family trip! The hospitality Dan and Penny provided, made us feel like we were their own family, and elated the overall feeling of the holidays! We are so so happy to have chosen to stay with them! We would recommend for everyone to experience this for themselves!

I highly recommend this lovely Inn. Dan and Penny exceeded are expectations and customized a fantastic hiking and touring experience. The charming village of Chester and the neighboring towns and countryside offers the quintessential Vermont experience. They even accommodated our gluten free and vegetarian food preferences. And the meals were delicious! This place is a 10 in every way- the rooms are beautiful and clean, and the service and kindness are unparalleled. Highly recommend!
