had an excellent time, location was great and accommodations were excellent! perfect for a weekend getaway.

downtown chester is a nice quiet relaxed town with plenty to do, the scenery alone is worth the trip

had a great time

My husband and I stayed 5 nights for our first trip to Vermont. I highly recommended the hugging bear inn, it was clean and comfortable, quiet, the breakfast was delicious and Kristen the innkeeper was a living doll that made us feel at home. We are planning another trip to Vermont next October and we will definitely stay there! Thank you Kristen for being such a gracious hostess!

Beautiful, quaint and welcoming

We had the best time and was so quiet and clean. It was our first time staying at a B & B. Beautiful small village. Everyone was very friendly. Can't recommend it enough. So worth the trip there. Glad we did it.  The Teddy Bear Shoppe was a real plus, I bought two. Thank you Kristin.

The best first time experience

Great place to stay! The Inn Keeper, Kristen was an absolute sweetheart! The bed was very comfortable and the Inn was cozy. Breakfast was amazing, made to order. Place was clean and well kept. The teddy bear shop was charming. 

Great stay!

We stayed three nights while exploring a potential move to the area.  The Inn was clean and despite being right on Main St traffic noise wasn't bad.  The best part of our stay was the hospitality provided by the Innkeeper Kristen.  We were greeted every day by her fresh gluten free chocolate chip cookies and she makes an excellent New England breakfast.  The ingredients were high quality including local maple syrup in both light and amber.  My only complaint is that I would like to be able to lock my bedroom door when away.  I would definitely stay again.

Nice old Inn.  Great Innkeeper.

My wife and I stayed for one night recently and enjoyed our visit. Kristen, the hostess/ innkeeper, was excellent and informative. The breakfast was superb. The room was comfortable, but we found the bathroom small - no place to put toilet kits, etc. All in all we enjoyed our stay and plan to return. The price was very reasonable and the restaurants were across the street within walking distance .

We enjoyed our brief stay

We stayed at the Hugging Bear for my birthday weekend after years of staying in nearby Ludlow. Not only were the rates much cheaper, but we were pleasantly surprised at the quaint atmosphere and pleasant surroundings in this beautiful inn. Most impressive of all was the welcoming and hospitality we received from Kristen, the innkeeper. She not only gave us advice for what to do in the area, but made sure that our stay was as enjoyable as we had hoped for. Her home baked chocolate chip cookies became my nightly guilty pleasure.
We stayed in the Sunshine Room,which had a comfortable king sized bed and was adorably decorated. Another reviewer complained about the sink being in the bedroom, and the bathroom being the size of a closet, which it probably once was, but we saw it as a minor inconvenience. For the money we saved over the rates we were paying in Ludlow, we were able to spend it on dinner at our favorite restaurant, the Homestyle Hostel, a mere 20 minutes away.
We have nothing but praise for this adorable inn, and its sweet and caring innkeeper, Kristen. We will be back for a return stay soon. Highly recommended!

Like a Nice Big Hug from the Green Mountain State

Perfect spot to stay in a cozy little town.  Clean rooms , great service , and great location.  Close to everything . The hostess really goes out of her way to make sure you feel welcome.  Love the old home and then there is the shop!  For anyone who loves teddy bears this is your place .   So if your coming to Chester and looking for somewhere comfortable , clean and close to it all with an addition of teddy bears to make it unique , this is the spot .

We were welcomed by the inn's host, Kristen who made us feel right at home.  This is a quaint country Inn that is centrally located and easy to find. Parking was on site and easy.  We were told some of the inn's history and shown the public areas and told to make ourselves comfortable. We had picked the tower room and were happy with our choice. Yes, as the name implies, there are 'bears' scattered around the inn but pleasantly done. Fresh cookies were made and put out for all. Coffee was available 24 hours. Breakfast was served in the dining room and was cooked to order. The couple we shared breakfast with was returning for their third visit to celebrate a birthday. Very pleasant homey place to stay.

Great get away

A week ago my wife and I began our 7 day tour of Vermont with an overnight at The Hugging Bear Inn in Chester. What a delightful time we had staying at this landmark home. The location was central to everything and the room was spacious, clean and quiet. Our hostess, Kristin, was so welcoming and hospitable upon our arrival. In addition, she was very knowledgeable about the area and able to provide us with places to visit. Kristin also provided us with a hearty made to order breakfast in the morning. We cannot say enough about our stay and the town of Chester.
