We can't fully describe how calming and beautiful it was to spend time at the Inn this spring. The view of a sunset across Lake Champlain was perhaps the most obvious plus. And yet there was so much more. The staff seemed happy to work there and it showed in the service. We hiked up to Lone Tree Hill, explored trails, wandered through the gardens, and read books! Our room was so lovely and comfortable, but it was hard to stay inside when there were Adirondack chairs on the lawn beckoning us to enjoy a cocktail looking out over the lake. The cuisine, almost all of it produced right on the farm, was superb and fresh, and the servers were friendly and helpful. Most of all, we liked that the mission of Shelburne Farms is to help create a sustainable future. The inn helps to support that mission, and we can't recommend it highly enough. It's our go-to place for special occasions!

We stayed at this charming 3 bedroom cottage with friends to attend a wedding in early May because it is the only cottage with heat. So Vermont! You wend your way through the mostly dirt roads of glorious Shelburne Farms to find the cottage behind one of the mind boggling 19th century barns. There is a fabulous view of the lake and the Adirondacks from the hammock. The cottage was cozy and well equipped and we had a lovely end of weekend dinner around the farmhouse table in the kitchen. And we were able to have a walk along the Shelburne Farm paths before the wedding. Amazing.

We returned after staying at the Inn several years ago. The Inn is impeccably maintained and surpassed our fond memories of its amenities. The staff reflected Ari's (Hospitality and Inn Manager) warm and welcoming ways. My wife and I were welcomed and immediately treated as valued guests and friends. We are already scheduling our next relaxing visit.

The most exceptional experience in Vermont on Lake Champlain, especially if you appreciate beauty, history, gardens, architecture, and working farms. Go to recharge or just enjoy the spacious vistas of the Green Mountains, the Adirondack Mountains, and beautiful Lake Champlain.

We came up for our twentieth anniversary (at least fourth time staying here) and couldn't have been more pleased. Our first time in the East Room was spectacular. Despite the possibly record heat, the lack of a/c was not a problem at all. Fans were more than sufficient. The restaurant never ceases to impress, with breakfast being an absolute no-brainer. Plenty of choices for non meat-eaters as well. We never tire of the views and the whole ambiance of the place. Our idea of heaven on earth.
