Inns & B&Bs

Come stay in one of Vermont’s finest small luxury hotels and see what a difference warm hospitality and delightful, creative cuisine can make. The Reluctant Panther Inn and Restaurant offers 20 luxurious rooms and suites, all with antique furnishings, fireplaces, marble baths and original, museum-quality artwork. Dining is a treat, from your complimentary breakfast-for-two baskets to dinner in the award-winning restaurant. Sip a cocktail in the cozy bar or meet or make friends on the covered terrace, with Mt. Equinox in the distance. Ask about seasonal packages and promotions. Set in the heart of Manchester Village, the inn is close to golf, fly-fishing, hiking, biking, kayaking, shopping and theaters and, in autumn, gorgeous foliage. In the winter, there’s skiing, ice skating, snowmobiling and sleigh rides.

Modern charms and Vermont’s appealing pastoral heritage merge at The Grafton Inn, providing guests with respite and relaxation in one of New England’s most picturesque villages. The inn’s 42 individually decorated rooms and spacious guest houses are ideal for planning your day skiing and sledding in winter, or swimming in the on-site pond or canoeing in the warmer months. There’s a game room, tennis and pickle ball courts and access to a variety of activities at the Grafton Trails Outdoor Center. A full country breakfast is served each morning, and dining options, based on a farm-to-table philosophy, include the rustic Phelps Barn Pub and 1801 Tavern and historic Pine Room Bar. Guests are welcomed with a gift of Grafton Cheese, and light refreshments are offered each afternoon.
