Few hotels or inns in Vermont can match the sumptuous views of Mt. Equinox and surrounding hillscape of this former dairy farm built in 1830, whether seen from the large wraparound porch, the firepit (where you can roast s'mores), or the outdoor hot tub. Rooms here and in the separate 1790 guesthouse have been given a country-boutique facelift without sacrificing any of the traditional charm, which is further enhanced by resident alpacas and fluffy barn cats.

This property holds the hospitality crown for style and cool, which is showcased in the almost magically spacious lobby, with its crackling wood fire, walls of smoky black Vermont granite, reclaimed oak floors, and local artwork.

A Shaker-style round barn—one of only five remaining in Vermont—is the centerpiece of this eminently charming B&B set among the hills of the Mad River Valley with resident ducks, squirrels, chipmunks, and songbirds that make it feel like a Disney movie.

Trails lead from here to neighboring Retreat Farm, a bird sanctuary, and West River views.

At the base of Mount Mansfield and Spruce Peak, this lodge would be king of the hill for its location alone, but a stay here also affords many perks including dining outposts like Tipsy Trout and Alpine Hall and rustic-meets-contemporary accommodations that run the gamut from studios and four-bedroom penthouse units to modern slopeside condos.

The unique Pitcher Inn has it all, including a supremely romantic restaurant and bubbling brook running alongside; the majority of rooms come with a rustic theme—ski lodge, trout, mallard, and more—that is manifested in impressive and stylish design, even an installed lift-ticket booth or a tree-trunk bed carved with fiddlehead ferns.

Several rooms have separate clawfoot tubs, private outdoor patio areas, and working gas Franklin stoves or fireplaces. The on-site restaurant, the Left Bank, is another gem, with a delightful menu of French bistro favorites that puts an emphasis on all things local; it also has one of the more impressive wine lists in the state. Rounding out the on-site perks is a holistic wellness center that includes a spa, gym, and yoga studio.

Amenities include a spa with eucalyptus steam room and cedar sauna, game room, tavern, the Red Rooster restaurant, and fitness center.

Behind a somewhat bland prefab exterior lies an eclectic boutique experience, thanks in large part to the virtual curiosity cabinet of exotic (or faux exotic) knickknacks stuffed throughout the premises, brought by the Africa-based owners.

Well-tended grounds contain a gazebo, a pond, and a waterfall, and a lively little tavern.

This boutique inn has created its own little oasis, taking 1830s farmhouse lodging to the next level by pairing New England charm with luxury amenities.

In addition to the human innkeepers, the resident pups Lucky and King (both are hypoallergenic breeds) roam around the property, making sure things are up to par for the guests.

This renovated 19th-century manse, once the residence of the town's pastor, incorporates a modern boutique aesthetic into the traditional-style inn, especially in the attached gastropub, which features a long, polished metal bar and backlighted marble.

Guest rooms are all individually decorated and have loads of modern character; a few have lake views.

Montpelier's only major hotel reopened in spring 2024 after $4.5 million in repairs from July 2023's flooding; it benefits much from the State House across the street, hosting many of its visiting politicians, lobbyists, and business makers, not to mention tourists seeking a certain quality of accommodation. Guest rooms are classically designed and outfitted with standard but polished amenities, while suites may add crystal chandeliers, a covered porch, oversize spa showers, or Jacuzzi tubs.
