Fodor's Expert Review Inn at Weathersfield

Set far back from the road, this 1792 home built by a Revolutionary War veteran is a world unto itself, and an Eden-esque one at that, with flowering gardens, croaking frog pond, and extensive forest on its 21 acres. Rooms and common areas embrace a rustic chic design with a Colonial flavor, and nearly all with fireplaces and tubs, while the back deck with stone fire pit is an ideal setting for some of the best cooking in Vermont.
