Our Guest Book

"We just came back from a wonderful stay at the Pumpkin Patch B&B.  The hosts are so warm and welcoming - we really felt like guests in their home.  We stayed in the Edythe Room, which was really a suite.  The mattress was soft with such cozy bedding we didn't want to get up in the morning.  We also loved the private sitting room - it gave us a separate space to sit and hang out in.  Morning breakfast was delicious.  So much better than any hotel breakfast!!!"

"What an amazing place!  Debbie and Rich treated us like family, and we really felt at home.  The food was delicious and every detail was considered, right down to the whipped cream for my daughter's hot chocolate (they gave us a whole can!).  We were so sad to go, and wish that we could have spent much longer than a weekend there.  We didn't have enough time with their daughter, either.  We will DEFINITELY be back...can't wait!"

"Thank you for all your hospitality! Wishing you the best."

"Thanks for another wonderful stay at your B&B! It's a delight to visit with you, and we're grateful for your warm hospitality."

"Our first stay and it was lovely. Room was very comfortable and the hosts welcoming. All in all, a nice experience. Hope to see you again!"

"Thank you for your warm engaging welcome! Helpful in every way! We've been so comfortable that it's hard to leave - but we'll be back! Best to you for the Holidays and into the New Year!"

"Wonderful place to call home for the evening. The beds were very comfortable... breakfast was better than we could've imagined. The welcome and the cookie we received when we first arrived reassured us that we had picked the right place to experience a real bed and breakfast. We wish you the best of luck in your future as a successful business!"

"My husband, two teenagers, and myself stayed at the Pumpkin Patch B and B for a night to attend a family wedding. We cannot say enough wonderful things about the owners, the property, or the food. Everything was absolutely amazing and beyond expectations. The owners couldn’t be more friendly or inviting. They felt like old friends. The room was spotless and well put together with so many extras. I only wish we were staying longer to enjoy the beautiful area. "

"Thank you so much! B&B is beautiful and breakfast was wonderful!"

"Another great visit at the Pumpkin Patch. We love the cozy quiet suite upstairs for reading and relaxing. Breakfasts were delicious and sitting by the stone fireplace watching the birds outside a perfect way to start the day in the beautiful green mountains of Vermont. Thanks, again, Debbie and Rich, for sharing your beautiful house and company."

"We SO enjoyed your story book home. The breakfast was fantastic and room was very comfortable. A real treat for any weary traveler. We found it by chance but would come back in a heartbeat!"

"Our stay at Pumpkin Patch B&B was surely the best in our New England autumn foliage trip. Debbie and Rich are great hosts. We felt very welcomed at their home and enjoyed every minute there. Rochester is nice small village in central Vermont, surrounded by beautiful hills. The Pumpkin Patch B&B adds much to it. Thank you!!"

"Thank you for the lovely night! We enjoyed playing the concert & being in your lovely home and town."

" It was such a pleasure to get to stay with you all here at the Pumpkin Patch B&B. We know you may hear this a lot but your pancakes are THE BEST we have ever had!!! It has been so great to get the opportunity to relax here and enjoy the wonderful berries you picked for us. Your hospitality is just as warm and beautiful as the luscious Vermont scenery that surrounds you. Thank you so much for the wonderful stay."

"Debbie, Rich and Karissa: Friendly, loving and wonderful, beautiful. What more can we say? Oh yes AWESOME food!. Thanks for your hospitality!"

"We really liked your quaint home. Love the whole fall décor. Very appropriate!!"

"Thank you! Thank you for an amazing little fall vacation that was so needed. Thank you for being so gracious and making us feel like we are home. Thank you for the wonderful food and conversation. It was such fun learning about this house and about how the three of you came here from New Jersey. And a bigger thank you for "The Nail Game" and the huge fight it caused - kidding, ha ha. I am so glad I spied this great little B & B on my way to Saranac Lake last summer, and that I'm obsessed with pumpkins :) . I just knew I would stay here one day. I'm so glad that I got to stay with the three of you. You have a lovely home and grounds. I wish we had more time to just relax for a day and read outside - maybe next time! I will be sending people your way. All the best!"

"We are so glad we found this place! It was perfect for our little fall getaway. The suite was so comfortable, quiet and peaceful. It was just what we both needed. Our hosts and fellow guests were very friendly and laid-back. I love all the little details in here that make this feel like hone. Actually, it's like home, but with gourmet breakfasts, a magically made bed, and clean towels every day! Oh, and let's not forget the cookies! Rich and Debbie, you two have this inn-keeping business down pat! All the best to you and your family!"

" Thank you for the lovely stay! Great views, wonderful breakfast, EXCELLENT beds! Thanks again for accommodating us in a pinch with our infant."

"Nous avons passé trois jours superbes avec Debbie Rich et Karissa dans leur superbe maison. Nous avons apprécié leur gentillesse et leur disponibilité. Nous avons logé dans leur studio très bien équipe et surtout très propre. Que dire des petits déjeuners, tous les jours différent et raffine, et pris dans leur superbe cuisine. La situation de la maison thé pumpkin patch b&b est très bien située face au magnifique parc dans cette très belle ville de rochester. Ayant eu pendant le séjour un problème mécanique sur notre voiture Rich a été d'une efficacité remarquable et un dévouement qui a permis de solutionner notre problème. Nous garderons un très bon souvenir de cette étape dans le vermont . Nous retournerons les voir lors d'un prochain voyage.

We spent three wonderful days with Debbie, Rich and Karissa in their beautiful home. We appreciated their kindness and availability . We stayed in their studio  suite, which was  very nice and very clean. What can we say about breakfast? E very day was something different and  very refined , it w as a superb cuisine. The tea house in the Pumpkin Patch  B &  B was conveniently located opposite of a beautiful park in the beautiful town of Rochester. During our stay, we had a mechanical problem with our car. Rich was remarkably efficient and dedicated in helping us solve our problem. We have very fond memories of this stop in Vermont . We hope to return see you again  during a future trip."

"Thanks for everything. Such a nice escape from camping while on my bike trip!"

"Thanks for the hospitality! This is a wonderful place. We all enjoyed it."

"Thanks for making us feel so welcome. The home is beautifully renovated and lovingly decorated. It is so peaceful here. We enjoyed visiting with you and the history/stories we fun. Thanks again. This is a great place to land after bicycling over the GAP!"

"Thank you for your wonderful hospitality and food!"

"Thank you AGAIN for a lovely stay! We're glad we got to meet Ricky and Annie! See you next year!"

"Thank you Deb, Rich and Karissa for an extraordinary stay in your warm welcoming home. It felt like we were home for the weekend on a Wednesday! We loved all the settings around the home that we got to enjoy: the screened-in porch, the sitting area, and the fireplace. You definitely made us feel welcomed. This home, in this town, in this narrow green valley will leave a lasting imprint in my memory of my bicycle tour around the Northern Tier of the US - Seattle Washington to Bar Harbor, Maine. Thank you for making this journey so special.

P.S. Lived all those wonderful pumpkins everywhere - bought the pumpkin lamp in the porch, worth every penny. Just finished our amazing breakfast - loved the food and the fascinating stories. have a good life Deb, Rich and Karissa. <3"

"Your easygoing hospitality, comfortable and beautiful rooms, delicious breakfast, the other friendly guests and Karissa's warmth and lovely demeanor all contributed to a delightful stay on our first night in Vermont this summer. Thank you!"

"Thank you for making our vacation so special. We enjoyed everything about our stay with you! And thank you Karissa for the special loving!"

"Thank you both for a wonderful weekend. Our family loves coming to the Pumpkin Patch. Our room above the barn is perfect. Coming back in the evening to find cookies and tea - A perfect way to end a wonderful day. Debbie, your pancakes are the best I've ever had! Can't wait to come and see you all again. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving."

"Cute and cozy describes this B&B from top to bottom. The rooms all have their own bathrooms and are decorated in pumpkins and historical furniture. There's a lot of history with this house and the owners have done their research to be able to tell you about it. The owners are really friendly and will make you feel at home. They go the extra mile for their guests, making cookies fresh for tea and quick breads for breakfast daily. I love the tea station in the kitchen next to the wood-burning cast iron cooking (and heating) stove. Be ready to eat a hearty breakfast- you'll need it for all the hiking / skiing / leaf-peeping the Central Green Mountains has to offer. I should also mention that the Pumpkin Patch B&B is a great value."

"The Pumpkin Patch B&B is a lovely bed and breakfast in Rochester, Vermont. I stayed there for a friend's wedding, and was really impressed with the facilities and service. There were 3 rooms for guests; I stayed in one of the smaller Queen rooms, but it was essentially part of a suite. I had a library and bathroom to myself, so I was able to have a few friends stop by while we prepared our toasts. It was very comfortable and absolutely adorable. The breakfast was incredible. The first morning, Debbie and Rich, the proprietors, served pancakes of your choosing. I chose banana-walnut-cinnamon pancakes topped with local Vermont maple syrup, and they were divine. They came with a variety of breakfast breads / coffee cakes, as well as a fresh fruit cup. All in all, it was phenomenal. The next morning, they woke up at 3:45AM to make me an omelet before I left to catch my 8:45AM flight out of Boston. I couldn't believe it! I think that alone speaks for the level of service they provide. Truly they're amazing. Moreover, I left a set of keys there and they shipped them back, free of charge. If you're ever in Rochester, VT, I strongly recommend the Pumpkin Patch B&B!"

"The most beautiful home and the most gracious and wonderful hosts. We stayed at the Pumpkin Patch B&B on June 14, checked out on June 15th. Rich and Debbie Mathiesen, and their wonderful daughter Karissa, treated us like we were longtime friends. Their house is gorgeous - beautiful, stately home. The breakfast was phenomenal - Rich is a master pancake chef. We highly recommend the Pumpkin Patch -- it is truly a home away from home and then some!"
