About The Hotel

A top-rated 4.7-star inn in the heart of East Burke village, Rates on request.

The on-property gastropub and riverside setting add charm. Honest notes: no included breakfast (cafe across the street), two-night minimum on some dates, and a remote Northeast Kingdom location requiring a car. Ideal for couples and active travelers who value location and hospitality over amenities lists.

What Guests Are Saying

“I stayed at the Village Inn in October. It is one of the best lodging experiences I have ever had. The Inn is charmingly historic yet in excellent condition. I loved the shared kitchen and cozy living room; having coffee at the kitchen table each morning was lovely. Room #5 was considerably larger than I expected and had a very cozy sitting area and lovely porch. The management had taken great care to accommodate mountain bikers; it was easy to wheel bikes into the walk-out basement storage room, and they had bike tools, a bike stand and laundry facilities nearby. The hot tub and outdoor kitchen was really cool too! It was also just a short walk to the public house for dinner. I didn’t have the opportunity to visit the taphouse next door but it looked really charming too.” — CamilleInTheWoods, 5 stars

“Cam was our point of contact here. And he was so above and beyond our expectations that there aren’t enough words. He manages the inn with humility, professionalism, and an eagerness to go above and beyond to provide an experience for his guests. The rooms were beautifully maintained. The grounds were immaculate. The amenities were abundant, well stocked, and available. My wife and I make inn’s and b&b’s the focal points of our trips- and this was second to none. The Gastropub ON PROPERTY had an exceptional restaurant for takeout on premise, and a gorgeous fire pit relaxation area nestled against a babbling brook at the rear of the property. This inn checked every box. Stay here and enjoy. 10/10” — Matthew B., 5 stars

“My teenage son and I had such a wonderful stay at the Village Inn. The location is perfect- right “in town”, across the street from a great cafe, river in the back (fun to jump into after a day of biking), outdoor hot tub, and a great bike storage room with tools and an area to wash off bikes. Really the perfect set up for a biking adventure. And best of all, Mariah at the front desk was lovely, so helpful, and a pleasure to talk with, Hope we can get back next summer!” — bostontraveler1211, 5 stars

The Location

The Village Inn sits on Route 114 in the heart of East Burke village, across from a popular cafe and steps from a gastropub and the Kingdom Trails. Burke Mountain is minutes away, and Lake Willoughby’s scenic fjord-like waters and hiking trails are a short drive. This is a genuinely walkable village center for a rural Northeast Kingdom town, with the river and outdoors at your doorstep. You can find more details or book your stay on TripAdvisor.
