You are cordially invited to enjoy the beauty and comfort of our historic Vermont home. Forty Putney Road is an elegant French Provincial estate overlooking the West River and The Hogle Wildlife Sanctuary, but just an easy ten minute walk to downtown Brattleboro. The lawns and gardens are landscaped with stately specimen trees, including one of the largest Japanese Maples in the United States. You will feel at home and at ease, whether on vacation or business. Forty Putney Road was built in 1930 for Dr.Charles Ripley, the director of the Brattleboro Retreat, a large, private mental hospital, established in 1834. It remained a home for various Retreat directors until the early 1980’s, when it became a private residence. It has been a bed & breakfast since the early 1990’s. The trees and gardens date from when the house was built. Lindsay and Lowell Hanson welcome you to their home at Forty Putney Road Bed & Breakfast. Both are retired school teachers from Colorado and are enjoying Brattleboro and the fun of meeting so many interesting guests. Snoop is a mixed breed, 10 year old, sweetdog who also enjoys all the visitors at the Inn. COME INSIDE A delicious, full Vermont breakfast is served each day, on the patio in warm weather, or in our breakfast room. You are invited to read the morning paper with an early cup of coffee or tea. Feel free to play the piano or guitar or play a game of chess or Scrabble.
