The Village Inn of Woodstock

About The Hotel

Rates on request — a 4.9 Victorian inn with a chef-owner. The Village Inn of Woodstock is a near-perfect Victorian mansion run by innkeeper-chef Heather, whose celebrated French-style omelets and multi-course Thai dinners set the standard for Vermont innkeeping. Fireplace rooms with sitting areas or balconies offer charm and coziness; the on-site Vic Tavern serves dinner and cocktails. The house is historic — some bathrooms are tiny, there’s no elevator, and dinner service varies — but the warmth of hosting and the quality of food make every stay memorable. Best for food-loving couples who want personalized attention and are willing to embrace Victorian quirks.

What Guests Are Saying

“The Village Inn was a real gem and such a treat for us. Heather is the ultimate host (and chef!) and made our stay so special. This is an old Victorian mansion, so do not expect all the modern conveniences as in a hotel. Instead, it exudes charm, and we enjoyed and relaxed. We stayed in Room 2 over Labor Day weekend, which is a suite, and we loved having the extra sitting room and balcony to relax in/on. The breakfasts were huge and delicious; Heather makes the best omelets I’ve ever had. We had drinks and dinner at the Tavern one night, which we also enjoyed. We were able to walk to dinners and into town. The bathroom is tiny but serviceable with an excellent shower. We highly recommend this lovely place!” — Christine C., 5 stars

“I usually don’t write reviews but the Inn is so dreamy. We stayed for 3 nights for our 2nd Wedding Anniversary and enjoyed every second. Our room was so cozy and beautifully decorated. The breakfast every morning was delicious especially the hot chocolate! Heather was so helpful and kind. We enjoyed getting to talk with her. The whole staff at the Inn is great. Short walk into town to shops and restaurants. Would definitely stay again!!” — Mariah W., 5 stars

“My husband and I booked a long weekend at the Village Inn of Woodstock so we could take several classes at the King Arthur Baking School. The real treasure of the Inn is Heather and her husband. They welcomed us like family. Heather is an exceptional chef. The breakfast omelette was just like one you’d find in France. The multi-course Thai dinner was just like fine dining in Bangkok. We had a lovely room with a fireplace, and enjoyed every minute of our stay. We also loved the town of Woodstock. It’s about 25 minutes from the baking school, but worth the time because the town is walkable, filled with unique stores, and beautifully situated on a river with picturesque covered bridges.” — Kristina, 5 stars
