For those looking to take in the sights, Bennington is as rich in revolutionary war history as it is in natural mountainous beauty. The picturesque inn is also perfectly situated as a launch pad for day trips to nearby Saratoga Springs, Lenox, Manchester, Stratton & more. Unpack your bags & take in a show at the newly revitalized Williamstown Theatre or Bennington's Old Castle Theatre Company in downtown Bennington. Spend the day antiquing or outlet shopping. Or, for the sports minded, try your hand at nearby golf, tennis, and skiing.

Of course, you can also just stay put and curl up with a book by the fireplace, play a game of bocce on our expansive lawns, or just relax on a bench under an apple tree. Unwind with a cool martini or hot toddy in our cocktail lounge or join us for dinner and experience the amazing culinary delights of our seasonal resturant.
