It runs from $304 a night, top end for Vermont.

Behind the name: a 9.2/10 guest score across 212 reviews.

It prices at the top of Vermont, so the tub has to earn the rate. On this record, it does.

The record also names these tub rooms: Wren's Nest Whirlpool Cottage · Deluxe King Spa Jacuzzi Room. Any of them puts the in-room jetted tub behind your own door; the primary above is the one our data ties most directly to the tub.

This room is flagged in our data as a true two-person soak, length and width for two adults, not a one-person tub with ambitions.

That name is the contract. If the booking page or the front desk cannot confirm the Cardinal's Retreat Jacuzzi Suite, the tub is not guaranteed, whatever the listing photos suggest. Our research team names the room on every stay for exactly that reason.

Ages 5 to 7: 98°F or coolerTurn the water down before kids get in. Adult soaking temperatures are too hot for small bodies.
About 5 minutes at a timeShort soaks with breaks between, and an adult in or beside the tub the whole time.

Rules: American Academy of Pediatrics / US CPSC consensus guidance.

The Soak Standard, applied to one stay

Every stay we list is scored against the five checks our founder built from nearly a decade in the hotel industry: jet power and placement, a true two-person soak, privacy and separation, heat hold, and room integration. This page exists because Barrows House carries the evidence, a named tub room, a price on file, and photography of its own. Stays that cannot fill those slots do not get pages.
