Why You'll Love This Place
A Here Comes The Guide Wedding Venue Review
- The year-round beauty of the southern Green Mountains surrounds this historic inn, which was built in the 1800s as a summer retreat. Recently fully renovated, it boasts bespoke guest accommodations, a cozy tavern, and a world-class wine cellar.
- There are pretty spots for ceremonies and photos absolutely everywhere on the 112-acre property, which boasts apple orchards, a trout pond, a covered bridge, and vibrant gardens. The Lawn and the Paddocks offer sweeping meadows for tented receptions.
- Thirteen inviting rooms provide lodging for overnighters, and options include traditionally charming inn rooms and the wonderful, four-bedroom Carriage House. Your hosts can arrange a variety of cool experiences to round out your weekend, like fly fishing, spa treatments, and private wine tastings.
