“All this effort would be for naught if the property were not attractive, but the inn exudes charm from its clapboard siding to the original wide-plank floors. The 12 rooms are lovely and up to date …”

Rhode Island Monthly: New England Getaways

“As guests relax on the tavern deck with a cognac, their hosts appear with marshmallows and graham crackers for s’mores over the fire pit. Twelve rooms have different features, such as spa showers, towel warmers and antique clawfoot tubs. With fifteen fireplaces and twenty-one acres, the inn makes others green with envy (and is the epitome of green as Vermont’s first hotel with an EV-charging station for electric cars).”

7 Nights Spotlights the Weathersfield

“If you’re booked into one of the 12 guest rooms, you’re in for myriad pleasures — think snuggly, soft bed with crisp linens, Jacuzzi tub and period architectural details — plus iPod docks and Wi-Fi. Like a lot of inns these days, this one combines old-school charm with modern comforts and connectivity.”

Fodor’s Travel Guide calls the Weathersfield “the best restaurant in Vermont”

Bon Appetit Names Weathersfield One of Its Top 10 Culinary Inns

“The Cavendish Farm quail roti with chickpea and lovage stuffing from chef Jason Tostrup is reason enough for a visit to this southern Vermont charmer. And that’s not even taking into account the nearby skiing and the inn’s hearty bacon and buttermilk-pancake breakfast.”

Cozy Inns of New England

“One of the most fantastic details of this historic southern Vermont property—it first opened as a stagecoach stop in 1792—is the original beehive oven in the front entryway, where partner, executive chef, and Slow Food advocate Jason Tostrup bakes bread daily … Those wanting Tostrup’s full culinary attention can book the Chef’s Table in the impressive wine cellar.”

New England’s Best Historic Inns

Yankee Magazine picked us as one of the seven best historic inns in New England and had this to say about us, “Chef Jason Tostrup is recognized as one of Vermont’s foremost locally grounded chefs, no small feat in a state where the “locavore” esthetic enjoys near-religious status. He begins his workday by visiting farms, collecting eggs and produce. He enthuses about the quality of locally raised meat and waxes lyrical about the variety of farmstead cheeses available on his circuit–which guests are invited to tour themselves” …

Weathersfield Makes Budget Travel’s List of Seven Stunning Hideaways

We love Budget Travel! Especially when they say things like this about us:

“The farm-to-table advocate grows much of the food served at the inn’s critically acclaimed restaurant (Tostrup was named Vermont Chef of the Year in 2008), and local ranches usually supply the rest. Expect Slow Food dishes like Shuttleworth Farm lamb confit and curried seared Maine lobster, all served alongside the inn’s freshly baked bread. If that’s too fussy, stop in the inn’s casual tavern for hearty soups and pub favorites…”
