Our menus are custom designed by the Innkeepers Shelly and Doug, to reflect an eclectic, and tantalizing selection of menu items to please both a sophisticated world traveler and those seeking traditional Vermont fare. Dinner is only available by pre-arrangement for groups of at least ten guests.

We invite you to enjoy a taste of Vermont - artisan produced cheeses, accompanied by a bottle of Vermont wine or a fresh Vermont micro-brewed beer as the perfect accompaniment to our seasonal menus. We use the freshest ingredients from Vermont farmers throughout the year to create an authentic Country Inn dining experience.
