About Us

Built as a farmhouse in 1849, the West Mountain Inn was transformed into a special country retreat by the Carlson family in 1978. The Inn's lovely flower gardens, stone walls, mountain views, lily ponds, and llamas immerse guests in the beauty and tranquility of Vermont. Miles of snowshoeing or hiking trails and the Battenkill River provide seasonal outdoor activities just steps from the Inn's front door. Guests enjoy a hearty country breakfast and an exquisitely prepared fireside dinner in the romantic, wood-paneled dining room. Private dining, meeting rooms, and 100 year old Vermont barn provide a variety of unique spaces for weddings, birthdays, anniversaries, family reunions or business meetings. Still owned and operated by the Carlson family and their long-time staff, the inn's warm and welcoming ambience is one of the main reasons guests find themselves returning again and again.
