Historic Inns of Vermont

Woodstock · Inn / Resort

A 142-room resort on the Woodstock village green, owned by the Rockefeller family since the 1960s. The property spans the village inn, a golf course, a spa, and the adjacent Suicide Six ski area. Woodstock is often cited as one of the most picturesque villages in New England — the inn is its anchor. Billings Farm & Museum is across the river.

On the Woodstock village green. Rockefeller-owned. Golf, spa, and Suicide Six ski area on the same property.

Warren · Inn

An 11-room Relais & Châteaux inn in Warren village, with each room designed around a distinct Vermont theme — the Trout Room, the Lodge Room, the Ski Room, each with its own character and concealed details. The Mad River Glen and Sugarbush ski areas are nearby. Consistently ranked among the top small hotels in the country. Warren's covered bridge is steps away.

Relais & Châteaux. Each of the 11 rooms is individually designed around a Vermont theme. Warren village setting.

Shelburne · Inn

A 24-room inn inside a Vanderbilt-Webb-designed 1899 manor house on 1,400 acres of working farm along Lake Champlain, with the Adirondacks visible across the water. The farm produces cheese, maple syrup, and vegetables served in the dining room. National Historic Landmark property. Open seasonally. One of the most significant properties in New England.

Stowe · Inn

A 104-room inn in a Federal-style building on Stowe's Main Street, operating as a hotel since 1833. The location is the best in the village — walkable to shops, restaurants, and the village green. The building has been continuously updated while keeping its period character. One of Vermont's longest-operating inns.

Manchester · Resort

A 195-room resort in a white-columned building on Manchester Village's main street, operating as a hotel since 1769. The golf course, spa, falconry program, and Land Rover off-road experience are the activity anchors. Bromley and Stratton ski areas are nearby. The building's Federal architecture anchors the look of the entire village.

Manchester · Inn

A 10-room inn in a Federal-style 1764 manor house in Manchester, with a notable history — Robert Todd Lincoln, Abraham Lincoln's son, owned the adjacent Hildene estate and was a regular guest. Fireplaces in most rooms, a two-story great room, and a setting that reads as genuinely historic. The Equinox and Hildene are both nearby.

Killington · Inn

Vermont's original ski lodge, built in 1938 directly on the Appalachian Trail and Long Trail — hikers pass through the property, literally. McGrath's Irish Pub is in the basement and has been the après-ski anchor for decades. No frills, full character. The most authentic mountain inn in Killington.

Middlebury · Inn

A 20-room inn in a 19th-century mansion in Middlebury, with a carriage house and gatehouse adding additional room configurations. The property belonged to the Swift family, prominent Vermont industrialists, and the architectural details are well-preserved. Steam sauna, gardens, and an in-house restaurant.

Montgomery · Inn

A 10-room Victorian inn on the Trout River in Montgomery Center, a small village known for its covered bridges — six within a few miles. Jay Peak is nearby in winter; the Trout River and surrounding Northeast Kingdom landscape make it a summer and fall property as well. One of the more charming and genuinely quiet properties in northern Vermont.

Dorset · Inn

A 16-room inn in Dorset, one of Vermont's most distinctive marble-quarrying villages — the Dorset quarry, operating since 1785, is the oldest commercial marble quarry in the United States, and the stone underlies the entire village. Two acres of grounds, a pool, and a restaurant. Stratton and Bromley ski areas are nearby. The village itself is a destination: marble sidewalks, an 18th-century church, no traffic lights.

Grafton · Inn

A 45-room inn in Grafton, a village restored almost entirely by the Windham Foundation in the 1960s–70s to preserve its 19th-century character. The inn itself dates to 1801. Grafton is the most deliberately preserved village in Vermont — no billboards, carefully maintained buildings, a creamery producing aged cheddar next door. An unusual Vermont experience.

Ludlow · Inn

An eight-room Victorian inn on Ludlow's Main Street in a mansion built in 1890 for Vermont Governor William Stickney. The culinary program is the focus — multiple-course dinners prepared by the innkeeper, afternoon tea, and a breakfast that's been cited in food press. Okemo is minutes away. One of the more distinctive small inns in southern Vermont.

Newfane · Inn

A 15-room inn on the Newfane common, across from the 1825 Windham County Courthouse — one of the most photographed buildings in Vermont. Greek Revival architecture, a pool, and a restaurant that's been part of the property since the 1960s. Newfane is a pristine 19th-century village that receives relatively few visitors. One of the quieter and more authentic southern Vermont options.

Brattleboro · Hotel

A 30-room Art Deco hotel on Brattleboro's Main Street, built in 1938 and still operating in its original building with its original murals, terrazzo floors, and Art Deco façade. The property includes a theater and a pub. Brattleboro has a strong arts and food scene for its size — the Vermont arts community's southern anchor. Metro-North-accessible from New York City via Amtrak.

Brattleboro · Inn

A four-room B&B in a 1930s French Revival mansion on the west side of Brattleboro, near the Connecticut River. Within walking distance of the downtown arts district. Breakfast is prepared daily. Small, well-maintained, and a genuine alternative to the Latchis for those who prefer a residential B&B to a hotel.

Waterbury · Inn

A 22-room inn in a Victorian mansion in Waterbury, positioned between Stowe and Burlington on Route 2. Ben & Jerry's factory tour, Cabot Creamery, and Cold Hollow Cider Mill are all nearby — Waterbury is Vermont's culinary souvenir corridor. Stowe Mountain is 10 miles north. An honest mid-price option for accessing multiple parts of Vermont.

East Middlebury · Inn

A 14-room inn in East Middlebury with a documented Vermont pedigree — the exterior was used as the Stratford Inn in the 1980s TV series Newhart. The building dates to 1810; the bar has been a local gathering point for generations. The Robert Frost Interpretive Trail and Bread Loaf Writer's Conference grounds are nearby. A classic Vermont country inn.

Peru · Lodge

A lodge and tavern in Peru, Vermont's smallest incorporated town, operating since 1926 in a building that was originally a private dance hall. Bromley Mountain is a two-minute drive. The round bar — built from a single log — is the centerpiece. Old Vermont ski culture preserved without self-consciousness.

Norwich · Inn

A 38-room inn in Norwich village, directly across the Connecticut River from Dartmouth College. The Jasper Murdock Alehouse in the basement brews its own beer and has been the inn's anchor for decades. Hanover's restaurants and the Hop Center for the Arts are a short drive. The Upper Valley is underrated as a Vermont destination.

Montgomery Center · B&B

An eight-room B&B in an 1880s Victorian house in Montgomery Center, near Jay Peak. The covered bridges of Montgomery are a short drive; the Trout River runs through town. An intimate, personal alternative to the resort properties at Jay — the kind of inn that lets you feel like a traveler rather than a ski package.
