The Richmond Victorian Inn Bed and Breakfast is located in the foothills of Vermont's Green Mountains, in the small town of Richmond, VT.

The inn is a lovely, restored 1850's Queen Anne style Victorian and currently home to the Stewart family. It is located in the small Vermont town of Richmond, home of the historic Round Church.

Located just twelve miles east of Burlington, and Lake Champlain, there are many recreational activities for guests to enjoy. Hiking along the Long Trail; biking or roller blading along the Burlington bike path; boating, fishing and swimming in area lakes, rivers and ponds; and both downhill and cross country skiing are all within a few minutes drive.

The Inn can also host small meetings and conferences (up to 15 people) and provide meals for such meetings.

We invite you to sit on the front porch and watch the world go by, play a game of checkers or Scrabble, or curl up in a rocker with that book you've been trying read. Let your cares fade away.

Enjoy a change of pace in small town Vermont. We look forward to your visit any time of the year.
