West Mountain Inn

West Mountain Inn sits way up on a hill with glorious views down the long winding driveway to the valley below. There are 150 acres on which to roam, with wildflowers, a bird sanctuary, alpacas, hiking trails, and the Battenkill River where you might want to try your fishing skills. Accommodation in the main house is in twelve bedrooms and three suites. The Booker T. Washington room has original butternut paneling, your choice of either king or twin beds, and views of neighboring mountains and pastures. The Rockwell Kent suite has a native-butternut cathedral ceiling in the king-sized bedroom and a spacious living room with fireplace. There are three townhouses at the historic mill, which may be rented with or without meals. Each of these has a living room with satellite TV, kitchen, master bedroom, and a cozy guestroom. The restaurant serves hearty country breakfasts and elegant five-course dinners and à la carte dining are offered seven days a week. Whether it’s winter or summer or the peak time of foliage when all of New England comes ablaze, this inn is a great place to be.
