Romantic Getaways in Vermont

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.

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.

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.

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.

Stowe · Inn

A 25-room manor inn on 38 acres above Stowe, with cross-country ski trails, a pool, stables, and long views of the ski mountain and valley. The building has 1940s bones; the property has operated as a lodge almost continuously since then. Quieter and more removed than Mountain Road, with a rural New England manor character.

Ludlow · Inn

A 17-room inn on Echo Lake in Ludlow, with Okemo Mountain ski area a short drive away. The lakefront setting is the differentiator — most Okemo-area lodging lacks water. The inn has a hot tub and sauna, and the restaurant focuses on New England cuisine. A genuine four-season option with ski proximity and lakefront access.

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 · 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.

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.
