Innkeepers, Don Whitaker and Barbara Thaeder, share the enviable task of welcoming guests to a circa 1820 home where time has been kind. A genial ambiance emmanates from pleasingly proportional rooms where decorating details honor the historic spirit and comfortable furnishings invite lingering a while to take it all in. The common rooms include a fireplaced library and a garden room. The library has over 3,000 volumes plus board games and puzzles and windows that view into the garden room with its myriad hanging plants. Sofas, rockers, easy chairs and tables encourage you to gather for games, snacks or afternoon tea.
Warm weather makes the porch especially inviting.
Porch swing, rockers, and sofa facilitate the favorite pastimes of star gazing, reading, napping, listening to the stream. Cold weather enthusiasts ski at Ascutney, Okemo or Killington or cross country or snowshoe at several nearby centers. They return to warm up at the library's hearth.
