Shelburne Farms Inn

I worked at the Inn when I was in college (15 years ago) and it is still to this day one of my favorite jobs I've ever had. I was excited to bring my family there for dinner last night. We had our 2 year old and 1 year old with us, and I was a little nervous about having them at a fancy place. The staff couldn't have been nicer. Our server, Gabe, knew it would be helpful to bring our kids meals out quickly to keep them happy. He was very kind, knowledgeable about the food, and seemed to have a passion for what he was doing. Later in the meal, my 1 year old caught the attention of another server (she may have been the dining room manager, I did not catch her name) so she came over to our table to table compliment our kids. My 2 year old told her she wanted raspberries for dessert and she b

If you looking for the Vermont experience, with the glow of a country estate, this is it. The views of the lake and Adirondacks are more beautiful than photos can capture, the air and sloping lawns with chairs to relax are just the beginning. Book early and stay in this beautiful period hotel, or book a just dinner at the restaurant. The food--all Vermont sourced, fresh, creative--is among the many highlights of this spectacular hotel/inn. wow.

The Shelburne Farms Inn is a special place. How often do you get to stay in a Gilded Age home? The building has been beautifully restored. The staff is wonderful. Everyone is delightful. A friend who grew up in Burlington mentioned it to me during the late summer. We booked it. It’s a great place to relax.||A few things to know. This is a seasonal inn with no A/C and barely space heaters. We were there in October and it was chilly at night. The space heater was used. If a heat spell, might be very warm. There are fans in some of the rooms||There are only a small number of rooms. If you don’t book far enough in advance, you will have very limited room options. We were up on the bachelors’ quarters on the 3rd floor. Rooms with 2 twin bed and 2 hall bathrooms shared with two other rooms. When

We stayed at The Shelburne Farms Inn to celebrate our 30th wedding anniversary. We were smitten with the beauty of the grounds, the range of activities available, and the quality of the service. ||Our room ("The Pink Room") was large, well-appointed, afforded a clear view of the lake, and was comfortable. It was also quiet. We felt at peace without feeling at all isolated. We often went downstairs to enjoy the large sitting room, the Adirondack chairs on the lawn abutting Lake Champlain, and the porch.||We had dinner at the inn's restaurant and were delighted with both the food and the service. When our hostess learned that we were celebrating our 30th wedding anniversary, she immediately relayed this information to our server, who arrived at our table with two glasses of champagne.

Intimate Classic experience. This was our 5th stay and we hope to keep coming back. The Inn combines old world commitment to excellence with warmth and comfort. The setting is spectacular, right on Lake Champlain, and there is nothing better for relaxation than sitting on the lawn watching the sunset over the lake and Adirondak mountains. The staff are friendly and professional, the farm to table meals are destination worthy, the expansive grounds are great for hiking, and all the activities in the Farm Barn are fun and interesting for kids of all ages (highly recommend the Sun to Cheese tour!). Every room is unique at the Inn, and we enjoy staying in a different one every time. Its a welcome escape from the modern and cookie cutter.
