We've Been Welcoming Guests Since 1972!

Step into the Waterbury/Stowe countryside and enjoy personal attention in our mountainside Austrian chalet. Treasure a wonderful night's sleep in a comfortable bed and wake to savor the smell of freshly baked breads and muffins. Wander along the trails through our own maple and pine forest. Luxuriate before a toasty, crackling fire. Life here in the mountains of Vermont is slow, simple, and relaxing.

Comfortable Accommodations:

Ten second-floor guest rooms furnished with antiques, comforters and quilts. Each room opens to a balcony which surrounds the Inn and provides relaxing views of the Green Mountains.

Two secluded cabins, each with a sitting area, queen-size bed, and mountain-view deck, are tucked on a mountside along trails up in the woods. Each cabin is heated with a beautiful wood stove that burns like a fireplace. The cabins are designed for romantic getaways for two.
