The Porchview Room is one of our coziest spaces, full of character and warmth. It features a beautifully crafted full sized bed with 100 percent cotton bedding and luxurious 800 thread count sheets. The private en suite bathroom includes a walk in shower and charming vintage details, from wide plank floors to an original decorative fireplace.
Soft natural light fills the room, and just outside the window lies the shared front balcony, easily accessed nearby and perfect for enjoying your morning coffee or an evening breeze.
Each morning, guests are treated to a “Beyond Continental Breakfast” featuring locally sourced farm fresh organic foods when available. Enjoy fresh baked goods, seasonal fruits, organic yogurt, rich dark roast coffee, and a curated selection of teas.
Guests also have access to a shared refrigerator and may request use of our Weber gas grills in the designated outdoor area.

Tom Dunlay’s lifelong passion for history and preservation led him to this beautiful 1830s property. He is an avid collector of antiques, with a special interest in historic lanterns and early firefighting equipment, and has a deep appreciation for the stories that old objects and buildings can tell.
Drawn to the rich history of Bailey's Mills, Tom is proud to take on the role of its steward. He looks forward to sharing his love of the past with guests and is committed to preserving the unique charm of this historic bed and breakfast for years to come.
Originally from Massachusetts, Tom spent many years serving his community as a firefighter and EMT. His career has always been rooted in care, dedication, and public service. He also ran a successful dog walking and sitting business, which allowed him to combine his entrepreneurial spirit with his love for animals. His loyal black lab, Ember, is not only his companion but also a beloved part of the guest experience.
Now channeling his lifelong commitment to service into hospitality, Tom is excited to welcome you to Reading. Whether you are here for relaxation, history, or a touch of Vermont charm, he is dedicated to making your stay warm, restful, and truly memorable.
