Vermont Luxury Hotels and Inns
- Twin Farms Hotel and Spa (Barnard) Phone: 802-234-9999, 800-894-6327 Google Map
- Concierge.com Recommendation
: "Sitting on 300 private acres in the vast Green Mountain National Forest, Twin Farms is about as "away" as it gets, making it a natural draw for celebrities, CEOs, and other A-listers."
- Concierge.com Recommendation
- Frommer's Recommended: "Novelist Sinclair Lewis once lived on this 300-acre farm; today, it's an aesthetic retreat that offers serenity and exceptional food."
- Basin Harbor Club (Vergennes) Phone: 802-475-2311, 800-622-4000 Google Map
- Frommer's Exceptional Rating: "Established in 1887, this is the sort of resort where you can spend a week and not get bored -- that is, if you're a self-starter and don't need a perky recreational director to plan your day."
- Fodor's Choice
: "On 700 acres overlooking Lake Champlain, this family resort provides luxurious accommodations, a full roster of amenities, including an 18-hole golf course, boating (with a 40-foot tour boat), a 3,200-foot grass airstrip, and daylong children's programs."
- Fodor's Choice
- Windham Hill Inn (West Townshend) Phone: 802-874-4080, 800-944-4080 Google Map
- Frommer's Exceptional Rating: "This inn is about as good as it gets, especially if you're in search of a romantic getaway. The guest rooms are wonderfully appointed in an elegant country style; 6 have Jacuzzis or soaking tubs, 9 have balconies or decks, 13 have gas fireplaces, and all have views."
- Fodor's Choice
: "Period antiques, Oriental carpets, and locally made furniture are hallmarks of this 1825 brick farmhouse and white barn annex at the end of a country road."
- Fodor's Choice
- Pitcher Inn (Warren) Phone: 802-496-6350 Google Map
- Frommer's Exceptional Rating: "The common areas fuse several styles: a little Colonial Revival, a little Mission, and a little Adirondack sporting camp. With not a bad room in the house, all are designed with such wit that they're more like elegant puzzles."
- Fodor's Choice
: "Each guest room at Vermont's only Relais & Chateaux property has its own motif. A curved ceiling in the Mallard gives the illusion of a duck blind, and the windows are etched and frosted in the likeness of the banks of a marsh."
- Fodor's Choice
- The Inn at Saw Mill Farm (West Dover) Phone: 802-464-8131 Google Map
- Frommer's Very Highly Recommended: "Guest rooms in this old farmhouse, parts of which date back to 1797, are distinctive, but all share a similar look, with contemporary country styling and colonial reproduction furniture. Among the best are Cider House No. 2, with its rustic beams and oversized canopy bed, and the Woodshed, a quiet cottage with a beautiful brick fireplace and a cozy loft."
- Fodor's Choice
: "Full of character and charm, this inn in a converted barn has common rooms elegantly decorated with English chintzes, antiques, and Oriental rugs."
- Fodor's Choice
- West Mountain Inn (Arlington) Phone: 802-375-6516 Google Map
- Frommer's Highly Recommended: "It's a perfect place for travelers striving to get away from the irksome hum of modern life. The guest rooms, named after famous Vermonters, are nicely furnished with country antiques and Victorian reproductions."
- Fodor's Choice
: "Spectacular views, labyrinthine gardens, and pet llamas are hallmarks of this inn, built in the 1840s on 150 mountainside acres as an elegant summer retreat."
- Fodor's Choice
- Smugglers' Notch (Smugglers Notch) Phone: 800-419-4615 Google Map
- Fodor's Choice
: "From watercolor workshops to giant water parks to weeklong camps for kids, this family resort has a plethora of activities. In winter, the main activity is skiing, but children's programs abound."

Vermont Moderate Hotels and Inns
- The Inn at Shelburne Farms (Shelburne) Phone: 802-985-8498 Google Maps
- Frommer's Very Highly Recommended: "Built in 1899, this sprawling Edwardian "farmhouse" is the place to fantasize about the lifestyles of the truly rich and famous. From your first glimpse of the mansion from the winding drive, you'll know you've left the grim world behind. "
- Fodor's Choice
: "This turn-of-the-20th-century Tudor-style inn, once the home of William Seward and Lila Vanderbilt Webb, overlooks Lake Champlain, the distant Adirondacks, and the sea of pastures that make up this 1,400-acre working farm."
- Fodor's Choice
- Willard Street Inn (Burlington) Phone: 802-651-8710, 800-577-8712 Google Maps
- Concierge.com Recommendation
: "Despite its downtown Burlington location, this 1881 Victorian B&B manages to maintain a sense of tranquility, thanks to its position up on the city's hillside."
- Concierge.com Recommendation
- Frommer's Very Highly Recommended: "The inn has soaring first-floor ceilings, cherry woodwork, and a beautiful window-lined breakfast room. The home was built in 1881 by a bank president and once served as a retirement home before its conversion to an inn."
- 1811 House (Manchester) Phone: 802-362-1811, 800-432-1811 Google Map
- Frommer's Exceptional Rating: "The cozy, warrenlike common rooms are steeped in the past -- uneven pine floors, out-of-true doors, and everything painted in earthy, colonial tones. The antique furniture re-creates the feel of the house during the Federal period."
- Fodor's Choice
: "Step into this restored 18th-century inn, and you're carried back 200 years. The sitting rooms and pub are paneled with rich, dark wood and decorated with hand-stenciled walls..."

- Jackson House Inn (Woodstock) Phone: 802-457-2065, 800-448-1890 Google Map
- Frommer's Exceptional Rating: "[T]his home was built in 1890 by a lumber baron who hoarded the best wood for himself; the cherry and maple floors are so beautiful you'll feel guilty for not taking off your shoes."
- Fodor's Choice

- Three Mountain Inn (Jamaica) Phone: 802-874-4140, 800-532-9399 Google Map

- Fodor's Choice
: "A 1780s tavern, this inn in downtown Jamaica, 10 mi northeast of Stratton, feels authentically Colonial, from the wide paneling to the low ceilings. Rooms are appointed with a blend of Colonial and modern furnishings, including featherbeds."

- Inn at the Mad River Barn (Waitsfield) Phone: 802-496-3310, 800-631-0466 Google Map
- Frommer's Recommended: "This classic 1960s-style ski lodge attracts a clientele that's nearly fanatical in its devotion to the place. It's all knotty pine; spartan guest rooms and rustic common rooms help visitors feel at home putting their feet up."
